A Look at the Remarkably Versatile Tamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8 Di III VXD Lens

Tamron's 35-150mm f/2-2.8 Di III VXD lens, on paper, looks to be one of the most impressive and versatile lenses ever made, offering a focal length range that can cover a huge range of scenarios paired with an unusually wide maximum aperture, allowing it to potentially replace several lenses in your bag. How does it hold up in practice, though? This thorough video review takes a look at the lens and the sort of image quality and performance you can expect from it in practice. 

Coming to you from Dustin Abbott, this awesome video review takes a look at the Tamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8 Di III VXD lens. The 35-150mm f/2-2.8 is certainly one of the most intriguing options in a long time. It certainly is not the first zoom lens to cover that range of focal lengths we have ever seen, but it is the first to have such a wide maximum aperture, making it an intriguing option for wedding, portrait, and events photographers, just to name a few. I recently replaced several primes in my bag with a Canon 28-70mm f/2L, and I can't say how awesome it has been to have one lens that offers the versatility of several primes, and it looks like Tamron's new lens could give photographers the same sort of advantage. Check out the video above for Abbott's full thoughts on the lens.
