    A great bargain lens that exceeds its price point

    It may be a bit slow focusing on my Sony A7r2 but the resolution is wonderful as well as the contrast and sharpness. It would resolve a 42mp as well as a 61mp sensor just fine. A truly bargain lens with great attributes.

    Budget priced, but quality wide-angle from Tamron

    Haven't had a chance to use this extensively yet, but this Tamron lens, as well as another one I've purchased recently (a long zoom), seem to be quite well-made and yet are very reasonably priced. Since I'm just a once-in-a-while photographer with asperations of catching a good shot here and there, I certainly don't need the higher-priced brand. The feel of the Tamron is light, but still solid. My Sony DSLR focused quickly with it, so no noticeable lag to me. Again, I'm happy with the purchase (and so is my bank account).

    Noisy autofocus but great picture quality.

    Affordable lens with fast, great autofocus and sharp picture quality. I am impressed with its macro capability with sharp picture, but has a loud autofocus noise. Would not recommend for videography due to the lens noise. Otherwise great for photography. One star taken off for the lens noise.

Questions & Answers

  • Would this lens work with a Sony a7iii?

    Yes! I have the next model up, which has the same lens mount and full-frame as the a7iii, so the Tamron 20mm will work just fine.
