Tamron's new 24-70mm f2.8 VC

[mabmy]

Ok, but I still think Tamron is partly at fault (design wise) as my humble Nikon 24-120 doesn't have this problem and i don't think it's a common occurence with other lenses either.

maybe you might want to try shooting under the same lighting condition with your Nikon lens at 1/1600 shutter and see if you get the same result. I know i do get it with my canon lens.

But didn't encounter this issue with my nikon lens so it's not a universal physics issue .

wow.. I like how u subtly is saying Nikon is "out-of-this-world".

Oh wait... I just made it obvious.. :x

Err...no lah....actually none of my previous lens which includes Sony, Canon, Oly and Pana had any of these issues. Just that for this particular incident i am sharing, i only had my Nikon lens on hand so that is my point of comparison.

Yep!

But that kinda sucks cos one of the reasons we buy a fast lens is so that we don't need to bump up the ISO and/or reduce shutter speed.

I think you got it the other way around.

To get rid of the flourescent light cast, you shoot at lower shutter speeds, why should you need to bump up ISO at all???
This is contradictory.

The flourescent cast is a question of the light flickering at those speeds 50hz, and has nothing to do with the lens. If anything, the lens is faithfully capturing the scene.

Oops my bad (sometimes gets confused). Anyway the main thing is I want to shoot high shutter speed so that can freeze the subject when taking candid shots.

Went to get a sigma 35 f1.4 today and brought my nikon afd 50/1.8 along. This time it is my nikon having the yellow cast effect (at high shutter speed). So I guess this is indeed a normal thing for artificial light and not any particular problem with the tamron.

no need to guess, it is as it is.

Its a figure of speech :|

And oh, the sigma 35 f1.4 did not have the yellow cast at any shutter speed.

If you try enough times, you might just get the yellow/green cast.

Why so hung up with it? It is a normal phenomenon when shooting under flourescent light.

Ya I am over it.

Just to share photos taken on EOS-M with Tamron 24-70 2.8 VC

Wa.. They allow you to shoot in the store ah?

Hi..

I have a Tamron 24-70 VC.
I'm intending to upgrade from my Canon 650D to a 5Dmkiii.
Is anyone using the Tamron with a mkiii?
Any issues to consider?

THanks!

For me i think using the AF on the mark iii with tamron is not very impressive especially when using the AF on the outer side, but if u always use center AF I would say it's pretty accurate and sharp. Other then that no other complaints about this lens.

 

[NormanSelvaraju]

Zhichun...

Thanks.. I was concerned that that might be the case. I guess I shall deal with it for the time being till I decide to change to a Canon lens.

THanks for replying!
