Review on Tamron 17 50Mm Aspherical Pentax K Mount by Velizar Petrov ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Wonderful quality, one hundred percent satisfied!

As a staffer on the D90, I was able to purchase it. Since I will not be using it personally, all I can do is express my initial reactions to it. Very sharp at 2.8, which is to my satisfaction. Naturally, a stabilizer is not really required at such a focal length; but, the price of a lens that has a 14200 stub is now perfectly justified, and this is the amount that I paid for it. They note further on that the price was 22022, which is, of course, a significant sum. Take a tamron 17-50 2.8 if you have the option between one of these three lenses: sigma, tokina, or tamron, but do it with extreme caution.

Pros
  • Clarity and brightness are both present. In the maximum range that the zoom tamron can cover. If you choose between 17 and 50 millimeters as your focal length range, the tamron will produce the sharpest and most beautiful pattern. If you do not compare this with Nikkor, however, you will notice that the price is very different.
Cons
  • It is essential to make a decision. I went to a store and purchased four lenses all at once. It is not difficult to focus in either the front or the back of the lens, of course, and the problem can be remedied at a later time through adjustment, but it is preferable to eliminate this problem as soon as possible, particularly if the lens is not located in Hong Kong.
