    I’ve felt like a crazy person for how much I loved this lens and for how few other people seem to rave about it. I had this lens and I loved it- it was a FUN lens, super versatile, just heavy enough, just big enough, super duper close focusing, stabilized, and it also had oddly overly vibrant colors. I sold it along with a Sigma 24mm Art because my plan was to shrink my kit and put both my 24 and 35 needs into one lens (Sigma 24-35mm F2) which is also a fun lens, but I really seriously miss this little Tamron. The only reason I don’t go back to it is that I recently made the switch to RF, and I’m trying to avoid adapters at the moment. Hopefully canon’s RF 35mm F1.8 can offer the same fun and magic that Tamron offered in their 35 1.8 because it’s looking like that’s what one trying next.

    Mark Shirley You may have to check though, if your Tamron lenses are the V1.0 firmware ones, you have to send them to a Tamron service centre for the update before you can use the TAP-in console. Once that is done, it works flawlessly with the console and my Z6! Autofocus is decent but not perfect with the z6 and tamron

    Hi Taylor, thanks again for the objective review. I'm considering buying the Tamron SP 35mm F1.4 once I'm able to travel back to the U.S. BUT I see that this one is not stabilized like the F1.8 model. Since you shoot video as much as you do stills, would this be a deal breaker for you? (I.E., you would not upgrade to the F1.4?) Sincerely @chriserichorn

    I have been using a d5600 since the end of last year but I only know the basics of photography (brief understanding of focal length, aperture, and ISO). So, how much better is this lense vs the nikkor 35mm 1.8 that is only a third of the price?? I do a lot of portrait photos for Instagram during the day and I am looking into possibly streaming/recording interviews as well. Thanks in advance

I've been looking for an alternative to the somewhat underwhelming Nikon 35mm AF-D F2 for a while, and this looks like a fantastic alternative... Appreciate any input. Cheers! :)

    I was about to ship this lens to Tamron to upgrade software, so it will autofocus on my Nikon Z5/Z6, and stumbled upon this video. This lens is well-built, sharp, with two killer features: image stabilization and macro. However, chromatic aberation is out of control; purple fringing everywhere under high contrast situations. Had to use software to remove purple.
