    5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible image quality, old school AF, great price

    Amazing sharpness and smooth bokeh at all apertures. Autofocus as if it was an older generation lens, noisey, slower, but good enough to capture my kids running at the camera and macro of flowers getting blown around by the wind. Looses track and racks focus too often.

    Still giving it 5 stars for the best image quality of any f2.8 35mm lens on e mount while having decent AF and incredibly cheap price. No chromatic aberrations, super sharp even wide open and smooth out of focus areas at all apertures...

    Am just starting out with a A7C. I shot mostly antique furniture for online sale, and needed something that would let me work in my dark and tight studio. I was looking at other 35mm lenses with a lower f stop then my kit lens' f4 which is practically f5 when at 35mm. Though there are many other 35mm with a lower f stops than 2.8 of this Tamron, the macro capabilities and the current price sold me. With macro, this has saved me time swiping lenses when I need to get just one or two pictures of something close up like a scratch or a label. It has worked out really well so far, and at 199.99 may be a sleeper of a deal. For what I am doing, the picture quality has been good, though I have not done much with outdoor photography. With what I saved on this compared to some of the other 35mm lenses from Sony, Sigma, and Tamron it self, I was able to also get a Sony 50mm 1.8 used which I have also been looking at.

    For $200 it's kind of a no brainer if you like prime lenses. Very light, plastic barrel, metal mount. Feels well made. Very sharp snappy images and it's a (sharp) macro too. Focus is not completely silent for video but fine and accurate for photography.

    I have been working with this lens for about 8 weeks now on an onging project. The autofocus is subpar and pretty loud and slow but this can be easily mitigated by just manually focusing images. The images this makes are razor sharp and it looks so so good and the lens preforms all around amazing and at this price point it is hard to beat.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Noisy autofocus
    Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2023
    Image quality is good, and if you are okay with a noisy autofocus, this may work. I wouldn't recommend it for video, it's too loud and it's not fun to shoot with. Body is mostly plastic, feels okay. For $100 more, the Sigma is far better for me.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for the price

    Tested on the A7r IV which is a tough master with its 60 megapixel sensor. Good sharpness in the center, mid zone isn't bad, corners just ok but turn to mush at close distances, i.e. the point where the usual minimal focus distance turns into macro. To be frank you kinda get what you pay for and a Macro 35mm at this price is stretching ones optimism somewhat.

    I didn't have any problems mounting, the weather seal didn't cause any problems and although the focus motor is not silent, it's a low pitch hum which is not distracting IMO, at least for photo use. Focus was sure and accurate in the moderately good lighting conditions that I was testing with. The lens hood design is nice. Good protection for the lens and the cap snaps onto the front of it which is convenient.

    Overall, a good lens for the price, probably best suited to a 24 megapixel camera where it will no doubt shine far better than on my A7r IV.

    Excellent corner sharpness and overall image quality. Smooth bokeh and the close focus makes it a versatile lens. One of my favorite lenses now.
