At first I was looking for a 24 1.4, but the cost was huge and I couldn't find one with all the accessory pro's I wanted, then I found this, and I decided that it was close enough and the price was good. I made the right choice.

focal length; sharpness; weather resistant

Outstanding optical characteristics. Also works with my A7 II via third party adapter.

Meh. It's ok for the price. Moderate CA/fringe. Did a side by side with another 35mm and returned this one. If you must have a fx full frame on a budge, it works.

The market wasn't exactly short of 35mm lenses before Tamron introduced the second of its new range of fixed-focal-length optics. Damien Demolder investigates whether we need another.

Tamron brought smiles to the world when they introduced a pair of record-setting lenses, the Tamron 35mm f/1.8 Di VC USD Lens and the very similar Tamron 45mm f/1.8 Di VC USD Lens , with both sharing the record for being the widest aperture image stabilized lenses available at the time of their...

To make a better lens, one that avid photographers might even be inclined to leave on their DSLR camera permanently, Tamron set aside all of their former notions about lens design and construction and went straight back to the basics with the new Tamron SP 35mm f1.8 Di VC USD (Model F012) and SP...

On September 2, 2015 Tamron announced a redefined SP (Superior Performance) lens series and the first two products in the line: the SP 35mm f/1.8 Di VC USD and the SP 45mm f/1.8 Di VC USD .

We've already tested the first of the new Tamron lenses; now it's high time to present the performance of the SP 35 mm f/1.8 Di VC USD model. Due to a very quick action of the Polish Tamron distributor, the Fototechnika company, both lenses found the way to our editorial office already at the...

solid; stylish and moisture resistant casing; minimum focusing distance already from 0.20 of a meter; very good image quality in the frame centre; good image quality on the edge of the APS-C sensor; acceptable image quality on the edge of full frame; moderate longitudinal chromatic aberration; very...

weak performance against bright light; autofocus should have been faster

There's a lot to like in the Tamron 35mm Æ'/1.8 Di VC USD SP. One usually expects the third-party manufacturers to produce lenses that are less expensive than the name-brand manufacturers, but in this case, Tamron has produced a superior lens and priced it for at least as much as its Canon...

A member of Tamron's SP (superior performance) family, this 35mm features a fast aperture of f/1.8 and a focal length which gives it a superb level of versatility... The lens is very well-constructed – if a little bulky – and weighs a reasonable 480g.
