Review on Tamron A16NII 17 50Mm Aspherical International by Dimitar Vasilev ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

You cannot purchase a regular Nikon standard zoom for that amount of money since it would smell of such an aperture. What about an analog camera with similar specs? Between this "Tampon" and Tokina, a decision was made. Tokina was impressed by the metal structure and alarmed by its sharpness and spooky behavior in the backlight. The tampon, while having more balanced qualities, will not last as long. Additionally, the vibration compensation is not an added feature. I'm just getting started, so maybe I'll make changes.

Pros
  • Price, weight, size, and aperture. overall quality balance.
Cons
  • Sharpness loss at the edges of the frame is significant, there is mild chromate in challenging areas, slow focusing, geometric distortion, glare, weak lens hood, and plastic construction. You must make a wise decision.
