    Tamron delivers great quality budget lens for Sony full frame cameras. Works really well with Sony’s Autofocus feature as well as subject detection (human and pets).

    Great lens, I compare it to Sony's FE lens "16-35" However it doesn't go quite as far or as close, but is much cheaper!

    This compliments the Tamron 28-75mm very well and now I use the duo for travel due to their small size. You can't get another f/2.8 in that similar focal range for that relative small size. Very sharp! Tamron has done it again. I hope they make small f/1.8 primes someday!
