I wanted a 35mm prime for my D750 to use as a walk-around in street photography and while hiking, etc. Tested this Tamron against the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 ART and the Nikon 1.8G. The Tamron was the clear winner for my needs. Here's why: - Image Quality: Sigma is the winner for sharpness wide open and definitely better stopped down to f/1.8, but the Tamron is very good even at f/1.8. Both have a nice rendering, with the Tamron showing some CA in certain scenes but nothing that isn't easily corrected in Lightroom. Personally, I liked the Tamron colors the best, but that's pretty subjective. The Nikon was noticeably behind the other two to my eye. - Form Factor: The Nikon is the winner for portability, being almost unnoticeable on the camera, but the Tamron isn't unduly heavy and balances very nicely on my D750. The Sigma, on the other hand, is kind of a brick for my uses; if only in studio and other controlled settings, it wouldn't have bothered me as much. - Autofocus: The Nikon was the fastest, but the Tamron is fast enough and very accurate. I eventually did an in-camera autofocus fine tune of +2 but it was very good out of the box. The Sigma was slow and not as consistent as the other two, at least in the copy I rented to test. - Build Quality: The Sigma feels solid, but the Tamron feels and looks better, and the fluorine coating really works if you get caught in the wet. Manual focus on the Tamron is a joy thanks to the long, precise throw and stiff action of the focus ring. You also get some weather resistance in the Tamron, which is not the case with the Sigma or Nikon rivals. The Nikon, like all the 1.8G primes, is solid but doesn't really feel so to me. - Features: Here's where the Tamron really shines: I don't use the vibration compensation a lot on a wide prime like this, but when you need it it's great to have and works really well. Great for things like photography in dimly lit cathedrals and the like without needing to break out a tripod or monopod. The best feature of the Tamron, however, has been the incredibly short minimum focus distance--it will focus accurately to within a couple of inches of the outer lens element. Basically gives you a quasi-macro capability without having to tote a macro around, which I've found very useful and a lot of fun when hiking or walking around town with it. The VC and near-macro capability really increase your creative possibilities with this lens, which is what I wanted. - Other: Six year warranty is pretty awesome. That's it; I love this thing and am thrilled with the purchase--so much so that I'll probably add the Tamron 85mm f/1.8 at some point soon.

I don't think I've ever written a review for amazon. I have been buying from them for about 8 years. I am writing a review about this product because I feel its necessary to give the attention it deserves. It's is honestly one of the better lenses I have ever had the pleasure of using. I am a engagement photographer and portrait photographer. I have used many lenses in the past and mostly stay true to Nikon lenses for my D750. This lens truly carves the perfect picture. During my first shoot with this lens, I had fallen in such love with it, I didn't remove it trhought the full job. Normally I use a 35, 50, and 85 lens. Mostly 35 and 85. On my last shoot I didn't even want to grab my 85. It was that damn good. Tamron should be getting a lot more love than it has for this lens. Anyone who complains about the chromatic aberration is just trying to find flaws. It is sooooo easy to fix now a days it shouldn't even matter. I rarely even had a problem with purple fringing with this lens to begin with. I had to fix maybe 10 out of the 50 photos I did for aberration and it took ONE click. Slow autofocus... yes.... if you are a sports shooter or a race car shooter this lens is not for you... but why would it be? This lens isn't for that. If it had those two things down it would be the perfect lens and it would cost 2k not 500.00. With that being said, the autofocus was perfectly fine for me shooting people and I didn't even think about it. Again, just wanted everywhere out there in this world of amazon to know how great this lens is and if you are considering purchasing it I would say dive in. I love it compared to the sigma. I find the sigma overrated and wildly expensive for what you get. Also it feels cheap. This feels like you own gold in your hands. Compared the nikon 1.8- crushes it. Now the nikon 35 1.4 is a different story as it cost i think 1k more than this lens. But i will say that the nikon is not worth that much more. If that 1.4 was an a+ this lens is an a-. It is honestly that close.

This lens? This lens? Spectacular. It really is. For what you pay for this lens you're getting something that does fall short of CaNikons top of the line 35mm offerings. It's obviously not on par considering it's less than half the price of the Canon 35mm F1.4L but, considering not only do you receive stellar image quality but 3 stops of Vibration Compensation (which is somewhat rare at this price range.) The lens barrel is plastic but it's a solid plastic and it doesn't feel like something that's going to break any time soon, if ever. I've read reviews that call this lens "heavy" but I personally like the heft. It's reassuring and lends itself to a more premium feeling lens as opposed to incredibly light, cheap feeling lenses. Like the Canon 50mm 1.8. As far as image quality goes, this lens produces excellent images that are sharp in the center past 2.8 and reasonably sharp wide open. (Lenses generally perform better the more you stop them down.) Contrast is good, not as contrasty as higher end Canon, Nikon and Leica lenses, but again, this lens costs a fraction of what most of those cost, AND it has vibration compensation. Which, in my experience is excellent. I shot some pictures at a concert in horrible lighting conditions and I opened up the lens to f2.8 and shot at shutter speeds as slow as 1/20th, and this lens managed to produce quality, sharp, blur minimal images. There are very few lenses on the market that can compete with the Tamron 35mm f1.8 VC as far as value goes aside from perhaps the Sigma Art series. Again stellar lens, I don't really have any other complaints with the lens.
