Image Gallery - Tamron SP 35mm f/1.8 VC

[TWI by Dustin Abbott]

I've spent some quality time with both Tamron primes over the past several weeks, including some direct comparisons between my beloved Canon EF 35mm f/2 IS and the Tamron 35mm f/1.8.

Anyway, here is some linkage for you.

Finally, here is a look at one of the key features - a killer .40x maximum magnification figure. Here's a maximum mag comparison with the Canon EF 35mm f/2 IS (the previous best):

Here's a couple examples of the usefulness of that minimum focus.

The first is actually the tip of an IOS lightning cable charger.
The second is, well, a Zeiss.

Anyway, there are many more examples in the image gallery.

One more close focus and crop that I just discovered. I actually missed my plane of focus by a hair (these were quick shots), but look at the sharpness crop!

Here is the link to the text review of the Tamron 35 for those interested.

Great lens overall.

As usual, great review.

This seems to be a really good lens, and I'm still torn between it and the 35 f/2 IS (or even the Zeiss 35f/2)...
Too much good choices.

It is a tough decision. I already own the 35 IS and love it, otherwise I would be very, very tempted by this lens. If I didn't already own the 35IS I'm still not 100% sure what I would do.
