A few weeks ago, at the TIPA World Awards Ceremony 2020, the Tamron 35mm f/1.4 was named “the Best DSLR Prime Lens, 2020”. “As fast lenses become increasingly popular, Tamron has responded with products that overcome classic design challenges such as chromatic aberration and flare.

Tamron has started to jump into Sony FE with both feet. It’s first two zoom lenses (17-28mm F2.8 RXD and 28-75mm F2.8 RXD) have been very well received. Now, Tamron is following up with three prime lenses (20mm, 24mm, and 35mm) that have only a moderately wide aperture (F2.8), but […]
