Every once in a while you run across a great lens at a bargain price. The Tamron SP45 is one of those lenses. I tested my copy on a Nikon D750 (24MP.) In those tests (performed 03/2018) I found the lens to be extremely sharp wide open, at f1.8, edge to edge with sharp corners.

If you've always wanted your 50mm prime lens to be just a little bit wider, Tamron has you covered. Its SP 45mm f/1.8 Di VC USD ($599) has a focal length that almost matches the true normal diagonal of a full-frame camera sensor (43mm).

Very sharp; Minimal distortion; Wide maximum aperture; Optically stabilized; Good close focus capability; Weather-sealed design; Available for Canon, Nikon, and Sony SLRs

Shows color fringing; Edge performance isn't as strong as center; Heavy for its size

I'm really enjoying Tamron's entry into the 50-ish prime market. 50mm is my most used prime focal length, but I'm used to Sigma's implementation which seems to have a slightly wider field of view than Canon's 50s, so the 45mm length of the Tamron feels very natural to me.

Consistent Output; Rugged; Strong Construction

Slow Focus

The Apple iPhone 14 is no match for the just-released iPhone 14 Pro, but if you ignore that, it’s one of the most effective phones around.

Great camera, Good battery, Emergency features are cool, Still excellent performance

Display could use some upgrades

Apple has given select media outlets and YouTubers access to the new iPhone 14 ahead of when it begins arriving in customers' hands on Friday, September 16. There are two models of the ‌iPhone‌ 14, the standard 6.1-inch ‌iPhone‌ 14 and the larger 6.7-inch ‌iPhone‌ 14 Plus.

More like an iPhone 13S. The generational upgrades for the iPhone 14 are limited to a few subtle changes. At the same time, however, the base price climbs to 800 USD, while the only true innovation happens inside the iPhone 14 Pro series.
