    I had been holding out for a 35mm lens that impressed me. This one fit the bill. Purchased it. Excellent image quality and color rendition. Relatively fast AF. Minimal CA stopped down. Heavy vignette at f/1.4 and peripheral Cat's eye bokeh in the corners as you mentioned. Very impressed with this lens and use it often.

      ​@nikonmark37814 The 35 and 45 1.8 are greatly built, IS weather sealed, but not quite as good as the sigma art 35 1.4 optically, which has no weather sealing or IS. This tamron 1.4 beats the sigma art 35 1.4 optically by a fair bit.. it's the weakest sigma art but still very impressive work from Tamron.

You've sold me mon ami. Well, that and my Sigma keeps locking up my R5 whenever I try to use eye AF with it, and was just very disappointed by it's performance on my R5. It was find on my 5DmkIV, but I don't really use that much now, actually haven't touched it since I got the R5 and R6.

      @Shadow81989 5 років тому +1

      I sold my Nikon 50mm f1.8 for that Tamron, and it was definitely worth the extra money! :-)
      Main reason for me was the much shorter minimum focus distance, as the 50mm was pretty much useless for almost everything I would have liked to use it for.
      The focus is really slow indeed, but not too big of a deal when it doesn't have to go from one end to the other.

    •  3 роки тому

      Yes, me. I have the same issue, and I've testes three samples of that lens. Err01 error occurs irregularly and without any external cause. It's definitely not a matter of dirty communication pins.
      1. What serial number your lens has? My last two was: 2602, 6007.
      2. Have you update firmware to version 2? I don't, but in theory, it shouldn't help (improves only issues on the Canon EOS R5 / EOS R6).
      Please answer, maybe together we can figured out solution.

Sad that these lenses have flown under the radar as I think they still hold value with certain bodies that do not have IBIS. I am able to get shots down to 1/8sec on my 45mm F1.8 VC which would never be possible without VC. They also have a combination of great sharpness yet pleasing bokeh that is usuallfound on much more expensive lenses.

      Yazeed Saber I think the biggest difference will be in the corners wide open. The Tamron is nearly perfect while the Sigma is just “good.” Stop it down a bit and there’s not a huge difference. For 35mm f/1.4 FF lenses, you’re probably looking at the two best values on the market. I’d be tempted to go with the Sigma at $600 because of it’s size and weight advantage, and because I don’t care too much about perfect outer frame IQ at f/1.4.
