Now that the subject of the quality of Tamron lenses has been raised, and now
that I'm warmed up, allow me one more bit of input. I have a few Tamrons, and
for the benefit of the curious, I'm going to rate them on the good ol' 1-10
scale.
For purposes of calibration, let me say that of the 24 Zuikos I own, there are
only three that, all things considered, within the realm of reasonable
expectations in the ordinary course of photographic endeavors, I would rate a
10. Those three are the 21/2, 50/2, and 100/2. Keep that in mind.
Now for the Tamrons and my opinions:
17/3.5 (newer version without internal filters) = 8
24/2.5 = 8
28-105/2.8 = 7
80-200/2.8 = 9
90/2.8 1:1 macro = 9
300/2.8 = 10
