Review on Tamron 14 150Mm Micro Thirds Camera Camera & Photo by Jnis Brveris ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It was a reasonable purchase, I will order more.

I use with Olympus OM-D E-M10. Of course, this lens is not at all as sharp as the Olympus 25mm f/1.8 and Olympus 45mm f/1.8 primes, but better than the kit M. Zuiko 14-42mm. There is no electric zoom drive, but I hardly shoot video, so I don’t need it. There are some minor geometric distortions. Especially at a short focus, a "cushion" is noticeable, and at a long focus, a little bit, but a "barrel" appears. I didn't look, but I think somewhere in the middle you can find a complete absence of distortion :) For such a price, in my opinion, this degree of distortion is completely acceptable.

Pros
  • Station wagon, 10x magnification, price. The bokeh is pretty, 7 petals after all. Min. aperture is also acceptable, especially for 150mm.
Cons
  • I got a copy with back focus. I did not check when buying and now there is an alignment problem. I didn't find anyone who could do it. Only officials will take it. I'll give it up tomorrow. In the meantime, either increase the depth of field, or manually adjust the focus. Exposure with him somehow behaves strangely. Not critical, of course. But then a little overexposed, then a little dark. I don't get the system. Maybe it's just me . Or maybe the new firmware will fix it. : I went to the officials. There was no back focus. My arms aren't very straight yet.
