Third Follow Up: The Tamron 20-40mm f/2.8 Di III VXD.

I was in my, “Respectfully what the heck?”, phase for my last post about this lens. I have moved on to settling in with the fact that that in short order this lens has shown itself to be a bit of a minor revelation.

As mentioned recently I wrote a post about me trading two lenses I really like for this lens.

The 20-40mm succeeded.

Wide enough to meet my Tamron 17-28mm needs and its performance at 40mm has me not missing the Sony prime.

It has become my, “I just need the pic.”, lens.

Not for when I want dreamy backgrounds or ridiculous subject isolation. And that is ok. It still makes quite the pleasing image. Here are some pics mainly taken on my way to rehearsal and back. You know. The same old, same old.

Closing thoughts.

Count me cured of any FE mount 40mm or wider AF prime or zoom lens. This covers it for me.

As I said in my last post about this lens:

At this moment this is my favorite Sony FE lens. Not because it is best at one thing. Because of its flexibility.

Well done Tamron.

Happy capturing.
