I think Tamron have it right, in manufacturing 35/1.8 VC and 85/1.8 VC instead of f1.4 equivalents. If you offered me the choice of those and a Sigma f1.4 Art I'd take the Tamrons... because in practice it's rather hard to use the f1.4 re DOF. The only Tamron lens I don't really want is the 45mm f1.8 VC. It's just not a 50mm, it's not long enough and it's not as special as the others. Would have preferred a 58mm f1.8 VC.
The current Tamrons also have a handy bonus in closer-focusing and higher reproduction ratio. For hobbyist photography around the house and on walkabout this and VC are far more useful than ego-trip superfast lenses.
This is along the lines of what I'm saying (but, in the specific case of the Tamron primes, the CA is simply unacceptable, the VC is marginal, and the sharpness is not quite there until stopped down a bit).
Looks just like you're talking nonsense at least 2/3 times according to Lenstip. Why write a whole thread on this if you are going to be so lazy investigating the lenses that already exist...
Wow -- what an attitude. In any case, apologies for saying "CA" (chromatic aberration) -- I meant PF (purple fringing).
..have you actually tried these lenses yourself? Or are you going by what reviews say?
Tried the 45 / 1.8 VC. Returned it within 30 minutes of having received it.
Haven't tried it either.
First, let me say the first copy of the 35 1.8 did fringe, but after exchanging it for another, its fantastic. Along with the 85 1.8 VC.. which I got in place of the Sigma 85 1.4.
I hear the 85 / 1.8 VC is better than the 35 / 1.8 VC and 45 / 1.8 VC.
From my experiences yes, that it is.
Me, I'd rather have a slower prime with VC then a faster aperture. They're smaller. lighter, and most of the time equal in performance.
The poll shows you to be in a minority, however.
It's always good to be different
Unless you enjoy whipping out your wallet, or an extreme pixel peeper who can't deal with not having the "very best", slower and cheaper is better.
Well, there's the 50 / 1.8 STM, then, right?
Canon's best selling lens for a reason
