Tamron 24mm 2.8 Di III OSD M1:2 für Sony E

The Tamron 24mm f/2.8 Di III OSD M1:2 stays a bit short of the optical quality that we have seen from the Tamron 35mm f/2.8 Di III OSD M1:2 but it's still a very sharp lens. The center quality is absolutely superb. The outer image field shows no weakness even at f/2.8 but it stays short of exciting results even when stopped down. However, there's a caveat. Image auto-correction does reduce the corner quality due to a rather excessive amount of barrel distortion. We'll elaborate on this more in the next review. While you will see somewhat softer corners, the lens has still enough potential for maintaining a good quality in the outer image field though. CAs are quite low and usually not an issue even in RAW images. The vignetting is heavy at large apertures unless you activate image auto-correction. The Tamron lens is not the fastest prime lens around but you can achieve a decent amount of object separation at close focus distances. The rendering of out-of-focus highlights is decent for a moderate ultra-wide prime lens. The build quality has to be seen in the context of the price tag. Obviously, it is a consumer-grade lens so don't expect wonders in this respect. The use of plastics is perfectly fine but they have a rather mediocre feel to them. The rather sluggish AF doesn't help with the subjective quality perception. On the positive side, the lens features some degree of sealing against moisture. Macro photographers will also appreciate the close focus capabilities with an object magnification of up to 1:2. While the Tamron 24mm f/2.8 Di III OSD M1:2 is a decent lens, it still feels like an answer to a question that nobody has asked. Most standard zoom lenses cover the 24mm setting and the speed and quality advantage of the Tamron lens is either marginal or non-existent. But … it's cheap.

The Tamron 24mm F/2.8 Di III OSD M1:2 is a fairly fast, ultra-wide-angle prime lens for Sony's extensive range of full-frame and APS-C sensor mirrorless cameras. It features a maximum aperture of f/2.8, an Optimized Silent Drive focus motor for quiet AF operation, and a moisture-proof construction. The optical formula comprises 10 elements in 9 groups, including one moulded glass aspherical element and three low-dispersion elements.

The Tamron 24mm f/2.8 Di III OSD M1:2 is a classic ultra-wide lens with superb handling and performance.
