Title: Unbeatable Price to value
Review: I didn’t have any expectations for this lens but honestly for the price, it’s amazing. I’ve shot portraits in everything from full sun to nighttime cities with it on my Sony A7Rii and they turned out good.There are definitely better more expensive lenses around but for 199$ it’s the perfect lens to try out a new focal length.

Title: 10/10
Review: Great image quality, very sharp,good colors and contrast, compact, light weight,small enough for travel. Didn’t experience distortion when shooting leveled. Used for landscapes and it delivered. Had no issues with the auto focus on a Sony 7R body however, it is a bit noisy. This may only be a concern when shooting video. An overall excellent lens for a great price.

Title: Great sharp image quality, absolutely terrible mount and AF performance.
Review: I can’t add anything substantial that other reviews haven’t already cited. I got this lens in 2020 for hiking and occasional city or astro photography. It focuses VERY close and works as a decent macro. Distortion makes architecture challenging but not impossible. Color and contrast are excellent. Sharpness is surprising for such a cheap lens, too.What isn’t great is the ridiculously poorly designed lens mount that requires real force to mount on an A7 series camera. The other is the autofocus, which has difficulty in all lighting and with the slowest-moving of subjects. It’s not just the speed but the accuracy and software seems amiss, here, somehow. Like the camera doesn’t know what information it’s getting, half the time. I suspect Tamron licensed this out to some company and just let them produce something they could cheap out on, aside from the good optics.It’s worth $199 – but be warned this isn’t a street, party, event or infant lens. It’s a flower, (dead) bug (on a calm day), canyon vista lens.

Title: A quality lens at great price–but also compact and light as well, perfect for our Sony A7C
Review: As a telephoto lens fan, I once again am enjoying the unique perspective and storytelling ability a wide-angle lens can offer. Christmas around the tree in our little cottage took on new life, as our grandchild took his place in the family circle, and this lens beautifully captured the controlled chaos of the moment.I had owned a 24-40mm zoom years ago, and had appreciated its ability to capture a unique perspective for black & white landscapes on 35mm film and color slides. But on our latest mirrorless camera, the Sony A7C, it has demonstrated how a wide-angle lens can capture interesting elements in a busy scene without getting in anyone’s face.I’m going put down the teles, and mount this lens more often!

Title: Excellent lens for Sony FE
Review: The image quality at this price is amazing! I’m not sure that there would be much of a difference between the image quality of this lens and one costing 4x or more.

Review: Lo compramos principalmente pensando en su capacidad macro. Quedamos encantados porque te permite estar extremadamente cerca del objeto y seguir enfocando con facilidad, además de tener una distancia muy útil tanto para Full Frame como para aps-c que nos permitirá aprovecharlo muchÃsimo en el negocio.Puede que si te fijas muy a detalle y realizas proyectos con otros lentes a la par, sobre todo si lo comparas con lentes que le duplican o triplican el costo, encuentres diferencias en nitidez sobre todo……pero realmente tendrÃas que ser muuuuy detallista. Ya realizamos un par de proyectos tanto en foto como video sólo con este lente y quedamos encantados. Muy nÃtido, buenos colores, no encontramos aberraciones significativas y aunque leÃmos comentarios sobre el autofoco que era un tanto lento….la verdad es que no coincidimos, nos ha funcionado perfecto y responde genial.Nos será de mucha utilidad y seguro permanecerá un buen tiempo como parte del equipo.

Review: Lho preso per la mia sony a7 cercavo un grandagolo economico da portare sempre dietro. Come qualità costruttiva è molto buona il barilotto è fatto da buoni materiale e l’impugnatura è buona. Come qualità ottica è molto nitido al centro a 2.8 e chiudendo il diaframma quasi su tutto il fotogramma. Per quello che costa è un ‘ottica molto versatile e di buona qualità so rprendernte anche nelle macro e nei close up molto divertente usarlo per la street.

Review: Bought this 24mm for urban and landscape pictures.Indeed there are reviews, mentioning slow AF and AF noise. So far, didn’t notice noise with my A7C, and AF works perfectly nice, didn’t notice this slow effect yet.What I can tell is that quality is beautiful, very very sharp. Weather sealing is a plus in the UAE.Also, very light, to carry all around for urban photography.Distortion is well controlled, and very manageable in LC.Match beautifully with Sony A7C. Not that big.I paired it with Tamron 28-200. When traveling, both are very light and cover all the needs. Keeping same 67mm for filters. Thxx Tamron.Look for promotion here. It comes often with unbeatable price. Thxx Amazon.
