The continued problem with 3rd party glass.
Jun 10, 2020 07:18:20 #
I have nearly divested myself of all Tamron glass and replaced them with Nikon glass. The only Tamron I choose to keep was my 90mm f/2.8 Macro.

Good for you. You have made a wise choice. You will be rewarded in Nikon Heaven.

I believe in the lenses made by the manufacturers for their cameras. I have nothing against third party lenses and when the budget is tight a third party lens is the best solution. Modern third party lenses seem to have excellent quality and some of them are as expensive or even more expensive than lenses by camera manufacturers.

I suspect the camera makers aren't necessarily too generous in giving information to other lens makers. As a result, their lenses have problems. Or, maybe it's just a design glitch.

Heh... I think Nikon would gladly swap book ledgers with either Sigma or Tamron right now...

I believe Tamron is the largest INDIVIDUAL glass lens maker. Single glass lens not what we call camera lenses

Perfectly understandable issue with a camera that has just been released.

To some extent, one is also paying for the brand name.
but one is also paying for confidence that the OEM knows all aspects of the interface - they didn't have to reverse-engineer anything.

Some on here seem to lose sight of reality. Results are all that matter. A camera and lens are tools to capture an image, just like a hammer. You can build a bird house using a $10 hammer or a $100 hammer. In the end the bird doesn't care which hammer you used. Likewise there is no price premium on a print for sale in a gallery because it was captured with a name brand camera and lens. Buy and use the tools that allow you to capture the images that satisfy you. Yes, I have some name brand lenses but I love them not because they are name brand but because they allow me to capture extraordinary images.

I own 3 Tamron and 1 Sigma lens and never had a problem. If I could afford Canon lenses, I would have bought them.

I have Tammy’s new lenses for E mount Sony, the 17-28 F2.8 and the 28-70 f2.8 and find them both excellent. I am planning to try the new 70-180 2.8 in the near future.

I buy Canon lens I have three ways to buy New, Remanufactured, used second, and I save money on the last two ways. Save up the money and buy OEM nothing hard about it!!!!!!!

Hear hear!
And you might be able to build the bird house faster with the $10 hammer as the expensive hammer's features don't apply to what your using it for or hinder this use.
It's possible to use a Cine zoom on a still camera - but why? All the extra expense is for features that a still camera usage doesn't use. Unless, you're going to show up the next day with the same Cine lens, a Red camera, a full crew, and the Talent. Then the features might be useful in showing exactly what the Red camera will see the next day and your director won't fume at you for technical problems with the shots.
It's all about the end product, your images. More skill makes better pictures with any tools.
