Die Brennweite ist echt gennial und leicht ist es auch noch. ]]> Thu, 28 Jul 2011 09:23:36 +0200 119-284 http://www.fotofach.de/zoomobjektive-erfahrungsberichte/tamron-af-28-300mm-f35-63-xr-di-vc/ Das 28-300 ist für Fotografen konzipiert, die auf Reisen ein leichtes (550g) und flexibles Objektiv haben möchten. Der extrem hohe Zoombereich geht natürlich zu Lasten anderer Eigenschaften wie z. B. Lichtstärke. Bis zu ca. 70mm stimmt die optische Qualität (s. Beispielbilder), danach hat man zunehmend mit Vignettierung und CAs zu kämpfen. Dazu ist der AF nicht der schnellste. Für Aufnahmen von z. B. Vögeln muss man schon ein paar Bilder machen, bis man einen akzeptablen Glückstreffer landet. Dennoch ist es für Reisen ein akzeptabler Kompromiss, speziell bei Brennweiten im WW-Normalbereich und hat mir im Urlaub bisher gute Dienste geleistet. Wer aber z. B. Tiere fotografieren möchte, sollte aber zusätzlich ein gutes Tele mitnehmen. ]]> Sun, 29 May 2011 23:02:37 +0200 116-262 http://www.fotofach.de/zoomobjektive-erfahrungsberichte/tamron-sp-af-28-75mm-f28-xr-di-ld-aspherical-if-makro/ The Tamron AF 28-75mm f/2.8 SP XR (forgive me for using a shorter variant of the name ...) proved to be a very good lens in the lab. The resolution figures are among the highest tested among the standard zoom lenses - the center resolution is generally excellent and the borders follow closely on very good to excellent levels. The distortions are very low as is the amount of vignetting and even CAs are very well under control. Nonetheless it should be mentioned that this is the 2nd tested sample of this lens and both showed centering defects - this is worrisome. The build quality of the lens is decent but nothing to rave about. If you can live with the rather odd zoom range within the APS-C scope the lens is worth a deeper look - assuming you can get a good sample. ]]> Thu, 01 Apr 2010 10:42:19 +0200 113-261 http://www.fotofach.de/zoomobjektive-erfahrungsberichte/tamron-af-18-250mm-f35-63-di-ii-ld-aspherical-if-makro/ Early user comments already suggested that new Tamron AF 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II LD Aspherical [IF] macro does not only offer a longer range but also a higher quality over the old Tamron AF 18-200mm XR and the lab results confirm these impressions. The results may not touch the sky but the new AF 18-250mm delivers a very solid performance for most of the range. Unsurprisingly the weak spot is at 250mm @ f/6.3 - stopping down to f/8 is a good idea here. Nonetheless the resolution characteristic is fairly amazing regarding the extreme zoom range. Typical for such lenses the Tamron exhibits a quite extreme level of barrel distortions at 18mm but at longer focal lengths to the problem isn't overly significant. Vignetting is a problem at 18mm f/3.5 and in critical situations you should generally stop down a bit. Lateral CAs (color shadows at the image borders) are on a medium level except at 250mm where the problem can get more disturbing. As to be expected for a zoom lens in this price league ( ]]> Thu, 01 Apr 2010 10:38:20 +0200 109-260 http://www.fotofach.de/zoomobjektive-erfahrungsberichte/tamron-sp-af-17-50mm-f28-xr-di-ii-ld-aspherical-if/ The Tamron AF 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II LD Aspherical [IF] is a very serious performer capable to deliver some of the best MTF50 figures to date in this lens class. Vignetting and distortions are about average for a lens in this class. CAs are very high at 17mm and 24mm. Mechanically the lens isn't top notch but it compares very well here to other third party lenses. AF accuracy could be a little better on the Nikon D200. Thanks to the very moderate price tag the lens is highly attractive and definitely worth a deeper look when shopping for a quality standard zoom lens for your APS-C DSLR and it's also a very interesting alternative to the genuine Nikkor standard zooms. ]]> Thu, 01 Apr 2010 10:36:54 +0200 115-259 http://www.fotofach.de/zoomobjektive-erfahrungsberichte/tamron-sp-af-17-35mm-f28-4-di-ld-aspherical-if/ The Tamron AF 17-35mm f/2.8-4 Di LD Aspherical IF SP proved to be a very decent standard zoom lens within the tested APS-C DSLR scope. The resolution figures are excellent in the center of the image and good to very good at the borders. Distortions are very pronounced at 17mm but very moderate otherwise. Typical for full frame lenses vignetting is very well controlled. CAs are a little on the high side specifically at 24mm. The build quality is generally pretty good but the direct competition does a little better job in this respect. When shopping for a new lens the Tamron AF 17-50mm f/2.8 SP may be a tad better and more versatile in terms of focal length range but without full format capabilities. If you prefer to have a lens living in both camps the AF 17-35mm f/2.8-4 Di SP may be still worth a deeper look. ]]> Thu, 01 Apr 2010 10:33:19 +0200 123-258 http://www.fotofach.de/festbrennweiten-erfahrungsberichte/tamron-sp-af-180mm-f35-di-ld-if-makro-11/ The Tamron AF 180mm f/3.5 SP Di LD [IF] macro offers a near-flawless performance. Optically it doesn't leave anything to be desired - the resolution is very good to excellent from f/3.5 all the way down to f/16 and vignetting, CAs and distortions are non-issues in field conditions. The bokeh (out-of-focus blur), a primary aspect in macro photography, is very smooth and buttery. The build quality of the Tamron is very good but there is one bug - the lens has no focus limiter and the rather slow AF combined with AF hunting can be a frequent and rather tiresome experience. Thanks to a focus clutch mechanism you can switch between AF and MF as easy as pushing/pulling the focus ring so if necessary you should give the AF a better hint by manual pre-focusing. Other than that it is a really impressive lens. ]]> Thu, 01 Apr 2010 10:30:40 +0200 122-257 http://www.fotofach.de/festbrennweiten-erfahrungsberichte/tamron-sp-af-90mm-f28-di-makro-11/ The Tamron AF 90mm f/2.8 Di SP is a superb lens without any significant flaws and it's easily as good as the corresponding (classic) Micro-Nikkor - the resolution figures are extremely high, vignetting is marginal, CAs are low and distortions are non-existent. The build quality may be slightly inferior in comparison to the Nikkor but then the price tag is also substantially lower so the verdict can only be - HIGHLY recommended! ]]> Thu, 01 Apr 2010 10:15:43 +0200 651-256 http://www.fotofach.de/festbrennweiten-erfahrungsberichte/tamron-af-60mm-f20-di-ii-ld-if-makro-11/ The Tamron SP AF 60mm f/2.0 Di II is a welcome addition to the range of 60mm macro lenses. It shows very high sharpness and pleasing bokeh, with its large aperture allows for nice subject separation and therefor qualifies for many more usages than just macro shots. CAs are a little on the high side, as is vignetting wide open, but that's the price one usually needs to pay for speed. The lens itself seems solid and is rather compact and light weight. There's not much to criticise about this lens. Many would certainly have preferred a less noisy AF drive as it is available from the competition, but that's about it. So, in summary, a very nice lens for an affordable price and certainly recommended to anyone considering a macro lens with this focal length. Usually, the review would end here. In case of the Tamron SP AF 60 though we feel the need to add that our review unit showed significant underexposure. Consequently, it was sent in to Tamron Europe, and that is where the sad part of the story began. At the time of the publication of this review, the lens is at Tamron Europe for 11 weeks now. During that time, we have received only one status update from Tamron after 4 weeks, which basically informed us that the lens has not been touched, yet. Any further request for additional information we sent thereafter, including a written complaint to the General Manager of Tamron Europe, remained unanswered. Update Jan. 21, 2010: two days after the review was published we received a letter of apology concerning the lack of communication from Tamron, as well as the lens, which according to Tamron is without any error. Based on a re-test vs several similar lenses, including the Micro-Nikkor AF 60mm f/2.8, we tend to disagree here though. ]]> Thu, 01 Apr 2010 10:14:07 +0200
