My whole kit is pretty much Tamron now. I was waiting for this one up after seeing it at the CP+ Show in Yokohama this year. The Tamron guy was really excited about it then. I picked it up last week and it is a great lens. Tamron are really making great products now, and I find then way more reliable than SIgma.

I haven't personally had many issues with Sigma lenses in terms of their build, but that does seem to be the general perception.

Thanks for yet another helpful review, with some lovely example images too, which affirms other online reviews of this lens I've seen - notably that of Lensrentals' Roger Cicala. (BTW, that 'spider' was a harvestman, which differs from most other arachnids in that it only has one pair of eyes, rather than three or four pairs.)

That's interesting about the spider.

Incredibly helpful and comprehensive. I have both Tamron’s 15-30 f2.8 (not the G2) and the G2 70-200 f2.8 in no small part based on your historical reviews. Being a, ahem, Nikon shooter, I find both deliver superb results via my D850. My only hesitation on their 24-70 f2.8 is that I have another lens covering that range. However, I haven’t had a 35 mm prime since my teenage Olympus OM1 years and am now on the hunt. This is making a compelling case. Look forward to your final piece and thoughts. Thanks.

Another great review, Dustin. Just a question though, using an EOS R body, how far off is the RF 35mm F1.8 Macro compared to the Tamron 35mm F1.4 in terms of IQ? I just want to have a bench mark of what a native RF lens can do compared to an older EF mount third party lens but with stellar optical performance. Thanks in advance!

Just recently bought the lens, having watched this review some time ago. I didn't really need the lens as I already have the 45mm and 85mm F1.8 which are both so good. But the "must have it" syndrome kicked when I saw an ad for one on sale for just 500 euros. All the hesitation I had at first quickly dissipated as I started to take images with it. It truly delivers uniquely beautiful results.

Great review. What I have been waiting for. Confirms what I saw on a lens testing website where I compared its performance to a couple of other 35's including the Tamron 1.8. The clear distinction between this and the other lenses is the sharpness across the frame. Best I have seen. Lensrentals says this is best in class in resolution. I would like to see a Christmas light sort of image to see how it does with clear and bright bokeh circles: fringing, shape, onion rings.

@DustinAbbottTWI

If Lens Rentals is accounting for total resolution across the frame, I think I would agree with that conclusion. Sharpness will not be a problem. It’s rendering tons of information at F1.4 even on my 42mp Sony a7rIII

@@DustinAbbottTWI I am having a hard time trying to find out if this lens is better than the 35mm f1.8 with regards to focus consistence/accuracy as I have seen your final review. Would you say the 35mm f1.8 is more accurate in that regard ? And also if you still have the 45mm f1.8 and if that is accurate at AF ? I know the f1.4 is better in all regards except close focusing and no VR and vignette but focus accuracy is more important to me. If you can give any more info on this it will be much appreciated. Thanks.

First I want to thank you for this review. I was thinking to buy the Canon but I waited to see if this new lens can surpass the Canon. I think there are some onion rings in the bokeh from what I can see it in your video at 13:58 but with bigger bokeh circle in an image are they visible with normal size image (not zooming at 100%) and compared to the canon?

There won't be an FE version of this exact lens, as developing for mirrorless and DSLRs requires two different approaches. The optical improvements here could very well make it into a lens designed for FE.

If doing video, no. 1.8 should suffice since VC will be most helpful.

So it’s safe to say the Tamron can beat the double priced canon 1.4 version 2 and also contend with the sigma art 35 1.2. Wow impressive. Looks like I found my new 35.

Make it a gold SP. people are all about showing off and it sound s petty but we both know this is true people don’t want other people to think they are using the regular 35 1.8 if they get the sp 1.4 you know damn sure they want people to know it’s the 1.4 and not the 1.8.

I agree with your latter point, but the former really depends on a persons budget.

Strikes me as if You refrained saying every 2 minutes that we here have exceptional performance with this full frame DSLR Tamron. As if You did not allow Yourself to say so. I just sold my Canon mark II to buy the FE Art f1.2 Sigma 35, that, at Lens Rentals, is also considered now the sharpest (but only mirrorles compatible), quasi equal to Tamron that, however when adapted, also like the Canon, requires a button to be customized for DOF preview -witch I refuse to do (just for a 35mm only). Canon 35mm L II lost its reason to be, especially at it's price. I think it is as easy and plain as that. I even suspect(only) the Tamron's bokeh might also be better then Sigma's f1.2 (but at this point I just want strait realtime DOF, and as a bonus the Sigma has apperture-ring, plus button - just like GM-type housing).
