When using this Tamron 35mm lens for the last two weeks or so, I have to say it's one of the best prime lenses there is on the market. On our Canon 5D Mark II full-frame, the picture is unbelievably sharp with fantastic color rendition right out of the box. On our Canon 5DSR 50mp, there are some small issues with focusing and getting a clear picture; however, putting it on manual focus gives us incredibly sharp images never thought possible. We are big proponents of Canon L lenses, as we shoot semi-professionally weddings and such; however, we have changed our minds after purchasing this lens. The lens is well-built, has image stabilization, is all metal, and really feels like a $600 lens should feel. There's nothing cheesy feeling about this lens. It screams quality. The focus ring is firm and precise, much more so than any Canon lens we've ever used in the past, and when you can get several inches from your subject, it's almost like having a macro lens and a portrait lens all in one. The 35mm focal length is just about the best you can get for about 99% of the shooting you'll ever encounter. A few days ago, we shot Christmas lights hand-held at night with the image stabilization and it was crystal clear, which is something you would not be able to do with the Sigma Art Lens, which has no image stabilization and costs more. I would recommend this lens to anyone who's looking for a reasonably-priced prime lens and wants the absolute best they can get out of their full-frame camera. Last word -- buy this lens, as well as the little TAP to make any adjustments you need to your focus. You won't be disappointed!Read full review

The Tamron 35 mm f/1.8 is tack sharp, relatively light. Has optical stabilization making it great for video and is a great value, especially used!

Fast,smooth, love the images from this lens. Quick, accurate focus although in very low light will focus hunt a little. Great color w/ Canon 5d MkIII.

I really love this lens.... it's sharp and a great price for what you get. It's going to be a great addition to my bag. I usually buy only canon, but I'm very happy with this tamron. I will be looking at more Tamron's in the future.

The aperture and close MFD make this a really fun and creative lens.
