rob_piontek Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I see the Tamron 10-24 is now available at Adorama. Anyone happen to have one already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howard_owen Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Someone over at DPReview commented that it's nothing special. As always, sample variation may be a factor, but Tamron's history with wide angle zooms is not stellar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill_keane2 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 "Tamron's history with wide angle zooms is not stellar." The 17-50 f/2.8 is actually quite stellar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill_keane2 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Rob, Tamron is billing this lens as a VERY high resolution, VERY low distortion performer... While not a constant f/2.8 if it's as well designed as the 17-50, the price will make it very attractive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User_276104 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I think I saw a post (not a thread) from Ellis Vener in which he mentioned that he's had one for testing for awhile. Maybe he'll chime in on this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photo5 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I'm quite pleased with my Tamron 17-35mm f2.8-4. Before I upgraded to the D700 I was quite interested in the new Tamron 10-24mm as it's a great range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howard_owen Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 The proof will be in the pudding. FWIW, I don't consider the 17-50 to be a wide angle; it has its share of sample variation issues as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
