ownership: | I own this lens |
compared to: | Sigma 105mm F/2.8 Minolta 50mm F/3.5 Tamron 90mm F/2.8 |
price paid: | 150 USD |
positive: | Sharp Tripod Mount Bokeh Size AF-D works as well as range limiter |
negative: | Slow Focus- as expected |
comment: | This lens is very sharp. I am grateful to have acquired it for $150 USD in like new condition. AF-D and the distance limiter on the A99 work well with this Tamron optic. It has proven itself an excellent portrait lens and is well built. It can produce CA in some situations, but nothing that can't be easily corrected. |
