Tamron 35mm F/2.8 Di III OSD (F053) Lens in Black: Powerful and Precise Imaging Review

Compact and lightweight lens for Sony full-frame mirrorless cameras. The advanced optical design delivers exceptional sharpness and detail across the frame thanks to the optimal placement of LD (Low Dispersion) elements and GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) glass molded aspherical elements. In addition, Tamron''s multi-layer BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) coating significantly reduces the chance of flare and ghosting. The maximum magnification ratio is 1:2 - the lens allows you to shoot macro. With superb resolving power through outstanding optical performance and additional camera-based distortion correction, the new prime lenses can be used with confidence in everything from casual family shots to serious professional-level photography. Silent autofocus system driven by OSD (Optimized Silent Drive) DC motor. The OSD drive provides a near-silent autofocus system, and the autofocus speed has also been improved. The low noise level from the lens is sure to be appreciated by videographers. The lens supports all software-based autofocus features offered by Sony cameras, including Fast Hybrid AF, Eye AF, and Direct Manual Focus (DMF). Rubber seals are located around the lens mount and other critical areas to keep the design moisture-resistant and prevent moisture and raindrops from getting inside. This feature provides an extra layer of protection when shooting outdoors in adverse weather conditions. In addition, the surface of the front lens is coated with a protective fluorine compound, which has excellent water and oil repellency. The front lens is now easier to clean and less vulnerable to the damaging effects of dirt, dust, moisture or oily fingerprints, making it much easier to care for. The additional protective properties are very important for lenses that allow you to get very close to the subject.
