    Great product and great price. Will be able to take portraits and street photography. Great quality and great pictures. Great all around lens. 5.0/5

    Great product and great price. Will be able to take portraits and street photography. Great quality and great pictures. Great all around lens. After testing out the lens it has a great picture quality and is well worth the money I have a lot of Tamron lenses. There were a lot of other lands that I could have bought but I love this focal length and it is good for all around photos be it street photography or portrait or family pictures even landscape it's a great all around lens and the price is great I would recommend this to anyone.

    Great for everyday photography, but autofocus may turn away video shooters4.0/5

    Great for everyday photography, but autofocus may turn away video shooters The Tamron 35 mm F/2.8 Di III OSD M1:2 lens for Sony is a great walk-around lens for general photography, particularly wider angle street photography and environmental portraits. It's very compact, light, and surprisingly sharp as Tamron has come a very long way in quality, at least since my early days shooting with their Canon superzoom lenses. As with most, if not all, third party Sony lenses, autofocus does take a bit of a hit. This lens tends to hunt for focus in low light, though not frequently enough to be a major inconvenience. Also, the autofocus does make a whirring sound that is noticeable on video, so this lens may not be a good fit for video shooters, in which case sticking to native Sony glass may be the best option. As far as photography is concerned, this is a solid lens that gives you sharp, clean images at a much more affordable price than the Sony-Zeiss 35 mm lenses.Read full review

    Great little lens4.0/5

    Great little lens The Tamron di iii is a pleasant surprise. It’s fairly sharp, renders well, and is really light. The focus isn’t perfect but it’s not slow either. Always hits accurately but a tad noisy. Clearly, this isn’t up to the performance of a Batis 40mm or a sigma 35 1.2, but it’s better than 300 bucks too.... Again, today’s lenses are sharper and better than most photographers too..
