Tamron 1750f28 can replace my prime lens?

Clubsnap is getting more and more constructive and useful advice these days.

Next you will be saying that you can't snap cats, they will turn your camera into a witchy haunted thing.

yea and your signature's still within the rhythm of the odds! great piece of advice there

I use a A550 and have all 3 lens as mentioned with both the primes @ f/1.4 in the following order of purchase (50/30/17-50).

My opinion is that the 50mm compliments well with 17-50 when shooting indoors. 17-50 good for general use, from large group photos to 2-3 ppl shoots. When I just need head - shoulders portraits, then I switch to 50mm which is really sharp, especially for the eyes and fantastic bokeh (which you probably know by now. So, in the end, my 30mm is left in the dry cabinet most of the times. 30mm seems neither here or there, sometimes it feels too tight for group shoots and sometimes too wide for portraits at a standoff position. When I try to make use of the f/1.4 on the 30mm over the 17-50, I felt it was too tough to manage the shallow DOF and most of my shots end up blur when there's movement.

Just my 2c worth.

Anyway, OT a bit.
Any bros ditch their tamron 17-50 for CZ16-80 and why?

Cheers

better not to use 3rd party lens,
the color is not synchronise.

Eh I don't think this is true. The 17-50 tamron is one of the best tamron lens on alpha mount.

Usage of Primes and zoom depend in your shooting style. U need to see which one suit you better
