| positive: | Sharp F2 Internal focusing Bokeh Object distance at 1:1 |
| negative: | Plastic build Auto focus can hunt |
| comment: | The lens is light, sharp, has a beautiful bokeh and doubles as a good walk around optics. Compared with the old and cheaper Minolta 50 F2.8 Macro, the Tamron is similarly sharp but shows less contrast and I prefer the slightly more vibrant Minolta colours. Auto focus of both lenses is comparable but the Minolta hunts much less. If it wasn't for the bokeh and portrait capabilities I would drop the Tamron and keep the Minolta. |
