gwyatt 0 Posted September 8, 2008 Is this the tamron lens that is not sharp or am I crazy? Or is it sharp to you? I think it could be more crisp with a nikon lens. Can I get your thoughts? Greg Link to comment
alan_southard 0 Posted September 9, 2008 The image is far too small to assess your lens. Regarding Nikon versus Tamron: I used a Tamron 28-200mm in the late 1990's and was disappointed with it at most focal lengths and apertures. While I do have a 35-105mm that just doesn't meet Nikon's usual standards when at 35mm. So, I am prejudice against Tamron because %100 of their lenses that I have used failed to perform, but only one of the MANY Nikon lenses I've used failed to EXCEL. But who knows...my Tamron could have just been a lemon. Link to comment
paul_de_ley 21 Posted September 10, 2008 Hi Greg, Aside from the need to scrutinize this at 50% or 100% size, you'll need to consider a few more things before you can judge the inherent sharpness of a lens, especially while shooting birds: which model is this exactly, what f-stop and shutter speed did you use, were you shooting handheld or from a (solid) tripod?
