Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)After reading the reviews, I don't know if I would have purchased this lens. More than likely I would have gotten the Sony 11-18 f/4.5-5.6 as I believe, or at least I did at the time, that it takes sharper pictures. But, my wife, who loves me dearly, got me this lens for my birthday. I could have returned it, but since I had it, what the heck.
I've read that there is some distortion on straight lines if you shoot very close. I suppose that means like you see in those lens tests where they shoot a brick wall from a couple feet away and show you how those straight lines bend a bit. I don't shoot like that. I use this lens to take indoor shots and for landscapes and for me, it really delivers. I've read reviews that said this lens is very soft when used wide open. Those reviewers used this lens on other camera bodies, Canon and Nikon. Either I got an exceptional copy or my Sony Alpha magically sharpens the pictures, because my shots are fine and plenty sharp.
I've also read that compared with the Canon 10-22 and the Nikon 10-24 that this lens has more noise. I've shot at ISO 3200 and I'm not seeing any noise. Also, if you're reading this review, you've got a Sony Alpha body and you can't use those lenses anyway. This lens is faster than the Sony 11-18, it cost less, has a wider range and I'm keeping mine. I'm a lover of Sony lenses, have a lot of them, but this Tamron lens, in my opinion, matches Sony in both performance and build quality.
