I needed a new wide angle for stadium shots and landscape. My former wide angle, a Sigma 17-35, never clearly focused on the right side of the images for some reason. I already owned 2 other Tamron lenses for my Pentax K-5 and K-5 IIs bodies, a 28-75 f2.8 and a 70-200 f2.8.

Bought this after having used the Sigma 10-20mm lens.It is marginally better than the Sigma,however I wanted the vibration control option even thought it was ￡200 more,time will tell.!

Får ett något sänkt totalbetyg med tanke på att man får vad man betalar för, om man vill ha bra bilder i alla tänkbara miljöer så ska man satsa på ett dyrare objektiv. Men för de pengarna så är det absolut prisvärt.

Har använts för landskapsfotografering och fotografering av gamla ruiner och innifrån övergivna byggnader; Ger skarpa bilder och känns ljusstarkt även i svåra ljusförhållanden; Kontstruktionen känns välbyggd och stabil.

Viss distorsion har uppkommit när objekt har hamnat i kanterna; Väggar och andra mindre vidkommande objekt har inte fått någon distorsion som man tänker på

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Consistent Output; Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Strong Construction

Poor in Low Light

If you are a photographer you should have either Photoshop or Lightroom which is a must with this lens. It is a good lens and the better the exposure the less you'll have to tweak, but I have yet to get a shot that I could leave untouched. Hence the 4 out of 5 eggs.

Nice wide angle lens for the price, and with rebate the deal is even better; Seems to focus quickly, and is reasonably sharp from f8 up; Great for HDR shots,and Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom 4 already have a profile for this lens to adjust for the barrel distortion

Could be Sharper at lower f-stops; Lens cap doesn't like some polarizing filters(doesn't stay on), but no biggie; Chromatic aberration can be strong but the new lens correction tools in either Lightroom 4 or Adobe Camera Raw can eliminate that problem crazy easy.

Tamron is a third-party lens manufacturer, which has produced excellent lenses in the past. This offering is the 10-24mm lens, designed to replace the company's first wide-angle lens exclusively for crop-frame cameras -- the 11-18mm. The lens is available in , , , and mounts.

The pictures below illustrate the focal length range from wide to less wide (on Nikon DX format, 1.5x).

Equal widest angle in its class; and largest zoom range (by a whisker; Low distortion; Generally good resistance to flare

Soft wide open (low local contrast; Soft corners at all focal lengths and apertures; Wide diameter lens hood takes up lots of space in a bag

I previosly had the Canon equivalent of this lens, which was damaged, not very robust at all!!! the tamaron feels much more solid build and at almost half the price is a much better buy. as with all Zoom lenses there is always some drop off but using F11-16 I found good definition.

Consistent Output; Easily Interchangeable; Quick Focus; Rugged; Sharp Focus; Strong Construction

I own several other Tamron lenses, and they all perform reasonably well. So, as I was looking for a decent wide-angle lens, I decided to give the Tamron SP 10-24mm F3.5/4.5 Di II LD Aspherical lens a try.

Extreme wide-angle; fast auto focus; reasonably light

Very soft under 12-13mm; chromatic aberration

I am new to shooting wide angle and the Tamron 10-24 seems to fit what I need. Most of my shooting is landscape and architecture and so far I am happy with the performance and build quality of this lens.
