I am one hundred percent satisfied with the purchase, I recommend this product to everyone.

So far, the only standard fast zoom lens that reveals the full capabilities of the Pentax K-1 FF sensor. Do not believe any conservative skeptics who say that your hands just grow from the wrong place, and you cannot get very sharp pictures on the K-1 with old optics (except for FF lims, of course), which are also a camera this one was not in hand. It does not play, it is assembled with sufficient quality, although it raises some doubts about durability. This is most likely due to its price - 100,000-110,000! (In Europe you can buy for 80,000) In addition, for Tamron with a Pentax nameplate. There is no back front focus, which is already pleasing. Good detail throughout the field of the frame, even at the long end. Focusing is fast and quiet. Starts to blunt a little in poor lighting. Sharp already from f / 2.8. Backlight keeps excellent. Haha didn't notice. Soft pleasant background blur. There is nothing supernatural in it, but due to the rounded aperture blades it looks nice. Very upset that there is no dust protection. Since there were reviews on foreign forums that dust particles may appear inside over time. For the price, I think it's unacceptable. The lens hood is of very low quality, which is also poorly dressed (it is possible that this is the only way for me). Filter size. I don’t know why everyone is whining about this all the time, I don’t see any shortcomings here, since in the modern world the level of requirements for technology is growing, its cost already exceeds several hundred thousand wooden ones, and the price tag for an 82mm light filter simply fades on this background. Yes, and I don’t understand people who buy a camera and optics for 300 pieces, complain about the cost of accessories. In general, a good lens. Tamron has taken a big step forward in terms of quality and design, I hope it will continue to please with new products for the K-1 (I would really like to see a line of fast fixes from this manufacturer).

Pros
  • - Constant aperture - Moisture protection - Build quality (even though it's a Tamron with a Pentax nameplate) - good design - Quiet motor - Working 2.8 - Resolution
Cons
  • - Price! (the real price tag for this lens is no more than 70,000, or even less) - No dust protection! - Blenda - Slow focusing in low light - The size of the filter (for me this is not a minus)
