Tamron 24mm F/2.8 Di III OSD M1:2 Lens for Sony Full Frame/APS-C E-Mount Mirrorless Camera

Great image quality, very sharp,good colors and contrast, compact, light weight,small enough for travel. Didn't experience distortion when shooting leveled. Used for landscapes and it delivered. Had no issues with the auto focus on a Sony 7R body however, it is a bit noisy. This may only be a concern when shooting video. An overall excellent lens for a great price.

This is the fifth Tamron lens I have purchased in the last couple of years for my Sony system cameras - and (like the others) it did not disappoint. Within the Sony lineup I currently shoot with APS-C crop sensor bodies - so this lens gives me a full frame equivalent field of view similar to a 35mm lens on full frame cameras. I’m strongly leaning toward adding a full frame Sony to my collection and this lens will be fully usable in such - so a win all around.

Really amazing picture quality for the price BUT autofocus doesn’t with in video on a7iv which was not mentioned anywhere in description. If video AF is not an issue for you then this is an excellent lens with corner to corner sharpness. I do occasionally shoot videos so this doesn’t work for me.

Bought this lens for my son for his ZVE10 he's very happy with it.

I can't add anything substantial that other reviews haven't already cited. I got this lens in 2020 for hiking and occasional city or astro photography. It focuses VERY close and works as a decent macro. Distortion makes architecture challenging but not impossible. Color and contrast are excellent. Sharpness is surprising for such a cheap lens, too. What isn't great is the ridiculously poorly designed lens mount that requires real force to mount on an A7 series camera. The other is the autofocus, which has difficulty in all lighting and with the slowest-moving of subjects. It's not just the speed but the accuracy and software seems amiss, here, somehow. Like the camera doesn't know what information it's getting, half the time. I suspect Tamron licensed this out to some company and just let them produce something they could cheap out on, aside from the good optics. It's worth $199 - but be warned this isn't a street, party, event or infant lens. It's a flower, (dead) bug (on a calm day), canyon vista lens.

For my Sony a7cr this lense comes alive. This lens is cheap, but if you read the reviews, it is stellar. You will see how clear and contrasty the pics are. Excellent buy. The lens is NOT a value lens. It just happens to be inexpensive.

As a telephoto lens fan, I once again am enjoying the unique perspective and storytelling ability a wide-angle lens can offer. Christmas around the tree in our little cottage took on new life, as our grandchild took his place in the family circle, and this lens beautifully captured the controlled chaos of the moment. I had owned a 24-40mm zoom years ago, and had appreciated its ability to capture a unique perspective for black & white landscapes on 35mm film and color slides. But on our latest mirrorless camera, the Sony A7C, it has demonstrated how a wide-angle lens can capture interesting elements in a busy scene without getting in anyone's face. I'm going put down the teles, and mount this lens more often!

The lens is extremely sharp at f4 and also very good at f2.8, with really pretty bokeh. The really close focus distance is a good bonus. Sadly autofocus is not as good as I hoped and can be slow / hunty, and quite audible, it could be a dealbreaker for some but personally I can live with it. It's an incredible lens for the price.

This is a very, very good lens. I'm using this on a 42MP sensor, it's demanding. It's optically sharp, with very good contrast. And it focuses very close for interesting effects. The build quality is good, better than its price point. The focus is on the slower side and while not noisy, it's not silent either. I'm OK with it but you may not be. You know going in it's only an f2.8. What get for that slow speed is a small, portable lens which produces outstanding results and close focuses. Scores high on convenience. Have fun out there.

Lo compramos principalmente pensando en su capacidad macro. Quedamos encantados porque te permite estar extremadamente cerca del objeto y seguir enfocando con facilidad, además de tener una distancia muy útil tanto para Full Frame como para aps-c que nos permitirá aprovecharlo muchísimo en el negocio. Puede que si te fijas muy a detalle y realizas proyectos con otros lentes a la par, sobre todo si lo comparas con lentes que le duplican o triplican el costo, encuentres diferencias en nitidez sobre todo......pero realmente tendrías que ser muuuuy detallista. Ya realizamos un par de proyectos tanto en foto como video sólo con este lente y quedamos encantados. Muy nítido, buenos colores, no encontramos aberraciones significativas y aunque leímos comentarios sobre el autofoco que era un tanto lento....la verdad es que no coincidimos, nos ha funcionado perfecto y responde genial. Nos será de mucha utilidad y seguro permanecerá un buen tiempo como parte del equipo.

It's sharp

Lho preso per la mia sony a7 cercavo un grandagolo economico da portare sempre dietro. Come qualità costruttiva è molto buona il barilotto è fatto da buoni materiale e l'impugnatura è buona. Come qualità ottica è molto nitido al centro a 2.8 e chiudendo il diaframma quasi su tutto il fotogramma. Per quello che costa è un 'ottica molto versatile e di buona qualità so rprendernte anche nelle macro e nei close up molto divertente usarlo per la street.
