Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM vs Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2

6 was almost identical to that of the Canon 24-105 lens also at 70mm and f/5.6. I would have expected the 24-70 lens to have had a better resolution. All in all, I pass on the 24-70 lens for the reasons above

It feels much more solid and smoother to touch. It doesn't feel too heavy on your camera either, weighing just over half a kilogram or a little under ...

While it still displays some levels of chromatic aberration inherent to the zoom design, except Fresno lenses, and heavy vignetting and geometric dist...

The Tamron 28-75mm is easily one of the sharpest lenses available for the Sony in its category. As far as I can tell, it is only slightly softer than the over-$2000 Sony 24-70mm for less than $900, although in some cases I have seen it actually beating the Sony in sharpness. The Autofocus has been fixed through easily installed firmware and is now relatively fast. Not the fastest, but definitely not as slow as it was before, and may even be faster than the Sony as well

I'll start by testing this lens on a full-frame camera, a 20 megapixel Canon 6D, with chromatic aberration and vignetting correction turned on. At 24m...

- very good out of camera contrast - ridiculously sharp (especially in the center, quite sharp in the corners, great sharpness throughout range). - one of the smaller zooms. Only the Sony Zeiss 24-70f4 is smaller. - f2

8 lenses are always bigger. They are heavier and they cost more money This lens comes at about $1,500 if that is out of your budget But you still want...

It is a little heavy and if you use it for a long time you end up with pain in the neck, when using the shoulder strip.

Now, a price difference like that has to raise some eyebrows and call into question the value of the 24-70 Mark II. But let there be no doubt, the Can...

If you don't want to spend an arm and a leg for the G Master, this lens is definitely worth the bucks.

Motorsport is a whole different kettle of fish, and it has a lot more in common with say wildlife photography, where you have practically no control o...

Sharpness is not everything. My Voigtländer 50mm 1.2 was very soft wide open - and I liked the rendering, the smooth transition and the bokeh.
