Review on Tamron AF 17-35mm f/2.8-4.0 Di LD SP Aspherical (IF) Ultra Wide Angle Zoom Lens - Discontinued by Manufacturer - Canon Digital SLR Cameras by Juana Hynes

Wide-angle lenses should be loved and hated in any high-end camera collection. You always give up something. The zoom is particularly disappointing, being the least able to hide the unnerving reality of wide-angle issues. elevated). Therefore, a wide-angle lens, slightly magnified by this geometry, can now serve as the standard viewing lens to compensate for this inherent magnification (from the digital sensor). In this case, a variable zoom would be nice, but not when it comes with problems with the wide-angle optics. So break it (the lens costs over $1500) or endure some nasty issues with edge lighting, distortion and color shift. etc. A wide angle lens from one brand - a well known brand - has great version potential with great sound performance but maybe gets it halfway right (a big problem with poor manufacture). nope shoot crap. This brand's version, Tamron, is reliable, inexpensive for this image quality and can serve as a standard lens for your DSLR. It is so good. Whatever they do to make this lens, you don't notice the "wide angle" when looking at pictures. And yes, you could use another angle with other options, like buying a Russian fish eye for really extreme purposes. It is not an alternative for this lens, especially at 1.6 conversion as is the case with most digital backs. The one in question did a great job on a Canon Rebel and was gifted to a professional photographer whose shots are simply amazing with it. Now I want one for myself.
