Personally, I consider Tamron lenses with "there's always something". No lens is perfect but with the better ones, I can usually accept the downsides but Tamron lenses tend to have one weakness that is over the top.

We'll see - the 28-75mm XRD will be here next week.

Hi Klaus,
I’m a little bit surprised that you gonna test Tamron 28-75/2,8 DIII.
Few facts
1. You dont like Tamron lines – test will be not fun for you.
2. Sonny is the best selling FF mirrorless system.
3. Tamron lens is one of the best selling Sony mount lens
4. As result of of #3 – there are plenty of online lab test of this lens. The tests are done from well known and trusted sites. Simple google search will not bring you here
5. As result of #3 – there are plenty of long term reviews you tube videos/. Videos are made from well known photographers. Some of them claims 1 year test period.


My questions are
- Who gonna read OL test? What is te purpose is this test?
- Do you have fun to test lens that you don't like?


My position
1. On topic
- form it look – Loose loose situation. You wil not have fun with Tamron tests? People will not read your tests.
- Tamron lens offers good balance between size, weight, price, optical / mechanical performance.
No wonder that this lens is popular by many content creators and art photographers. I have used 28-75/2,8 and two 17-50/2,8 for 10..20 years. I wolds say that they dont disappoints me. Tamron 28-75 DIII seems to share the same DNA.
2. Off topic – related to off topic comments above
I’m not brand believer. I’ve tried in the past to find some relation between Brands and performace & quality. My conclusion maybe in 70’s , 80’s I can find some realtion , but not anymore in modern worlds.
