These are very tight crops. this lens has high resolution and pretty nice bokeh, I think, for a zoom (Pentax K200D):

All Tamron zooms are nice including this one as we can see on your pictures. Great samples like what you took can help a lot Smile

Hi,

I bought mine new in '85, and for some 10 years it was the only lens I used. I still use mine regularly, though it is more useful in the wide end on film. Great lens, and I get a little giggle still every time the CF (Continuous Focus) feature starts to crank the zoom as I focus closer. Wink

Is it the 2.8-35 or the 2.8-3.8 ?
I have the latter and this is a very good zoom lens.

The 01A :

I bought a well-used one a couple of years ago and it became my firm favourite... until I bought the SP28-80, then that became my favourite. The 35-80 is great, but it did lack a bit of wideness for my liking.

I used this on film cameras, and was always astounded by how 'prim'-ish this zoom looks! Very Happy
