The new Tamron 45/1.8 VC is a very versatile and interesting lens: It offers a fast f/1.8 aperture combined with image-stabilization that is good for two stops in my tests. Both allow the lens to hold out longer in dimly lit situations. It produces very s...
A new lens model for any company always brings lots of anticipation for me as I always love to see what the latest technology brings us. When a new lens model has a feature set not before seen, that level of anticipation is increased. With the ultra-high...

I suppose the presence of the Sigma A 50 mm f/1.4 HSM on the market might prove to be the biggest problem of the instrument tested by us. The Sigma is a bit more expensive than the Tamron but it is also faster. The Tamron's selling points, among other thi...
Taking a page out of Sigma's book, Tamron is revamping their higher-end 'SP' line of premium lenses, starting with a pair of fast, ƒ/1.8 image stabilized prime lenses. The longer 45mm ƒ/1.8 VC prime offers an excellent balance of affordable price and imag...

The Tamron SP 45mm f/1.8 Di VC USD is a sharp, stabilized standard-angle lens, but color fringing can be an issue at wide apertures...

Abstract: To make a better lens, one that avid photographers might even be inclined to leave on their DSLR camera permanently, Tamron set aside all of their former notions about lens design and construction and went straight back to the basics with the new Tamron S...
There was plenty of media hype when Tamron announced its new f/1.8 prime lenses so it was good to have a chance to see how much of it was based on real life experiences. The answer is complex.In some ways the new 45mm f/1.8 lens is a good performer; not g...

These lenses are part of the new generation of third party products that challenge the original camera makers in terms of optical and construction quality and generally offer better value. Mounted on a Canon...
Tamron used to have a reputation for being a cheaper alternative that perhaps wouldnt deliver quite the same quality as the top brands. That image has changed somewhat in the last few years, and this lens is another example of what the company can do whe...
Abstract: Canon is one of the most trusted names in photography, and countless enthusiasts, family photographers, and pros reach for its cameras to capture the natural world. The company's SLRs can swap lenses, so you can change the angle of view to snap shots of w...
