Review on Tamron 17 50Mm Aspherical Pentax K Mount by Kiril Baytoshev ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not a bad purchase, worth the money.

I never in a million years would have guessed that I would end up purchasing this particular lens after having "drooled" over another type from a different maker. In addition, I did not anticipate receiving an order at the location where it was to be picked up, like a "pig in a poke." Nevertheless, the times are.

Pros
  • 1. The low cost of the lens is probably the most significant benefit it offers. On March 10, 2022, when practically all online retailers were experiencing pandemonium and ridiculous exchange rates, I placed my own order for it at a cost of 28K. 2. Keep the aperture at 2.8 regardless of the focal length. 3. In conjunction with the Nikon D3300 crop carcass (24-megapixel Sony matrix), Camera Raw, and Photoshop, colors that are very "juicy" and nearly toxic can be achieved. This is how I like my photos to look. 4. The manufacturer's commitment to providing excellent service to its clients: - After registering on the official Tamron website for an extended five-year guarantee, it was discovered that the lens, while having been manufactured in China, had been lawfully imported into 2022. In Hong Kong, on the street, I was able to get a free lens adjustment for my body, which is another huge plus. My "tamron" was fixed at Plekhanov (the office service center) by adjusting the firmware for back focus.
Cons
  • The downsides have previously been detailed in great detail several times above, including the "strange" operation of the stabilizer, the unpleasant "buzz" of the motor of the autofocus that is not the fastest, and the rotation of the focus ring in the "wrong" direction, amongst other things. Although, for me personally in 2022, a snotty lover who is not burdened with the need to engage in photo commerce, a bunch of a new Nikon D3300 crop carcass with a 24-megapixel Sony sensor for 14K and a new aperture glass Tamron 17-50 for 28K, which fully reveals this matrix, is the most in terms of price-quality. These two items can be purchased together for 28K.
