Male Chaffinch - Tamron SP 35-210mm f3.5-4.2 26A

[MarkS]

Tried the Tamron SP 26A again today

Some male chaffinches were feeding when I stopped for a break on my journey at Brierlow Bar Bookshop in Derbyshire


The lens has once again exceeded my expectations

Taken on Nikon D3 all at f11 - great sharpness and colour captured

Which focal length?

[Lloydy]

Tamron made so many zooms in so many odd focal lengths that it's hard to keep track of them, thankfully most are very good, which makes buying them less of a lottery.

This lens is one of a very few Tamron SPs that I don't own. I've been hesitant to buy it because it is a "Super Zoom" with a far-reaching focal range from 35mm to 210mm. But it's nice seeing your images. Great sharpness and contrast. Makes me want to rethink my position on this lens.

Hi Cooltouch

I can thoroughly recommend this lens - I find it a great performed when set to f8 or f11

If you go to the adaptall site - they provide performance info on a lot of the lenses that allows you to see at a glance where each lenses sweet spot is for sharpness
