Reviews around tune (5.00 of 5)

  • After spending a lot of time getting more experience with the Lens Align target I found the my E version front focuses equally at all focal length requiring a +3 adjustment in fine tune
  • AF is spot on and consistent through all focal lengths, no AF fine tune needed
  • I played around with fine tune a bit but couldn't find something I was happy with throughout the focal range.
  • I have tried AF Fine tune on my D4 and D810 bodies, as well as disabling the VR function, all to no avail.
  • The auto focus fine tune requirement for this lens varies through the zoom range, +12 at 24mm,

Reviews around image (5.00 of 5)

  • At speed under this, I am still able to get some very sharp images, but I would check and possibly take a second picture to be sure
  • Good image quality for a zoom, though not as sharp as my 1.8 primes
  • I would use it on a daily basis, shooting wide-open at f/2.8, and it would yield sharp images time and time again.
  • Finally I got to take my new lens on a shoot to Death Valley and the images are as good as the G version if not better
  • +6 for 30mm to 70mm, (depending on what camera is used) resulting in soft images, unless adjustment is made just for any F2.8 shots

Reviews around photo (5.00 of 5)

  • Feels good in the hand, looks good on the camera, and takes amazing photos with great detail.
  • The centers were sharp, but the corners were soft and I never felt I got the kind of sharp landscape photos for which I would normally use the lens.
  • Autofocus is very quick, VR works great and photos are sharp

Reviews around corner (5.00 of 5)

  • Lensrentals claims this was a Nikon design decision: improved corner to corner sharpness, distortion being the cost
  • The centers were sharp, but the corners were soft and I never felt I got the kind of sharp landscape photos for which I would normally use the lens.
  • It does produce sharper corners than the “G” version, particularly at larger apertures (smaller f numbers) but by f8 the two become indistinguishable from the center to the corners in my opinion

  • and it removed all traces of it, as well as, correcting much of the distortion
  • The centers were sharp, but the corners were soft and I never felt I got the kind of sharp landscape photos for which I would normally use the lens.
  • I am a serious hobby photographer since 2009, and I shoot theatrical shows, dance shows, and performance art in general, as well as some portraits, landscapes and still life.
  • On the other hand, landscapes seem to benefit dramatically from this new formula, as the whole frame appears evenly focused and it is quite easy to sharpen in post and for printing.

  • Autofocus is very quick, VR works great and photos are sharp
  • And the autofocus is extremely consistent on my D800 and D850.I just took this one with my D850 on a snowmobile tour at Jackson hole
  • Sure, it is not as sharp as my 85mm f/1.4 stopped down to an equal f/2.8, but such comparison would be unfair
  • The only problem with the Tamron is autofocus.
  • The autofocus is silent and perfect and the photo quality is fantastic.

Reviews around vr (3.86 of 5)

  • The VR is also impressive and it works so smoothly, at first I wasn’t sure it was working
  • It gets heavy for her after a while so no VR can make her photos suffer in low light settings
  • The VR has worked great for her in giving a little buffer
  • I have tried AF Fine tune on my D4 and D810 bodies, as well as disabling the VR function, all to no avail.
