Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Xr Di

[xxmxaxrxyxx]

I'm going to say no, it is not worth it for you. You have the best portrait ranges of the 28-75 covered with your 50mm and 60mm prime lenses. At wide angle, 28mm f2.8 is not really any better than your kit lens at 28mm f4 with IS.
ok thanks! i am just learning...and every time i open up a thread with someone using a lens that i don't have...i so think i need it....lol...because i am so fascinating by their results...i need to learn more before i spend more money i guess...thank you for you input!

[rvdw98]

A handsome lens, for sure!! I recently sold a 24-70L to pick up a 35L and this lens, and I must say, I am 120% satisfied. ;)


How recently was that? Your samples were shot a year ago (according to their EXIF that is).

That would explain it. :D

[tupper]

After much consideration.. I have chosen for this to be my next lens.. was a toss up between this and the Canon 28 f/1.8 but chose this as it filled the gap I have well and has proven to be a good all rounder. Keep posting guys!

[madhatter04]

That would explain it. :D
Yup, just changed it. It was 1 day and 1 year behind. eesh.

[aerosmith9110]

xxmxaxrxyxx,

this is a very good glass for its price.

but if you want better for more than 2x the price 17-55 2.8 is is the way to go.

If you have primes that cover the range good, but remember that its way easier to use zooms.

Nice!

Never thought about what a great range this would be on a 1.3x - 36-100 equivalent. That is pretty much what most 3x zoom pocket cams are.

Thanks.

It is indeed an more usable range on the 1.3 crop IMO and one that I am more used to coming from P&S film bodies as a kid at about 35mm wide and then 50mm primes on my Vivitar SLR body. I've used it on the 1D Classic intensively for the last four days and there is little I couldnt do with it for what I was shooting.

Last night, while driving south of the Montana ghost town of Wagner, I stopped on the tracks and snapped this photo out my window. My literal one-second pause on the tracks caused great distress to my children, who accused me of wanting to get them all killed.

Sometimes you just have to take what's presented, regardless of the settings on your camera and hope your camera and lens performs as you hope.

No children or cameras were harmed during the taking of this photo, but please do not try to replicate this effort unless under adult supervision.

"You must hate your children"

Of course. They (the three who were with me at the time) were all eating DQ Blizzards and giving me a hard time over "when are we going home Dad?!".

They also didn't appreciate it when I told them I thought I had at least ten seconds if/when the crossing arms started coming down.

The above train, BTW, was parked and waiting for another one coming from the opposite direction. The other train didn't show up for about ten minutes.

I may take another drive out there a bit earlier tonight, to see if a parked train is a nighly occurence.

Good job. The primary job of a father is to scare, tease, and annoy the hell out of his kids to toughen them up for the real world! :)

I'm going to get this lens in the next week or two from B&H, it's about AU$300 cheaper than what you can get it for here! Just need to get in touch with a guy who wanted my Canon 24/2.8 and sell my nifty fifty to a mate and I'll be good to go.

I found shooting wide open at F/2.8 with my Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8 on my 50D the images are very soft,,unusable in fact..They only start to sharped up at around F/4..I've never noticed this with my 20D or my 350D for that matter.. Any explainations??

I'm going to do some more tests..I'll keep you posted..

[yogestee]

^ Edit,,I just shot a quick test..

First image 20D, second image 50D.. Both images manually focused and straight out of the camera at F/2.8 @ 75mm,, only resized.. Shot in Jpeg without camera sharpening..

Probably not a conclusive test but a start..

OK,,now looking at it, it appears the 50D is a tad sharper..

Need to do some more tests..

[The Moose]

Have you put in some microadjustment at all? The 50D shot does look better but it can't hurt to have a go.

Micro adjustment will only work when using auto focus.. These were focused manually..

The black is definately richer and darker in the 50D image. Sharpness is a tough call but I'd say the 50D takes it.

I agree.. If you check the EXIF on both images you'll find the 20D pic was shot at 400th sec @F/2.8 and the 50D at 500th sec @ F/2.8,,giving deeper blacks..Not thinking, I was more concerned with sharpness as opposed to exposure..

I must remember to do a more controlled test..

How much skin smoothing did you use on these??

[jdlloyd67]

How much skin smoothing did you use on these??
I used Portraiture on a seperate layer and then dropped the opacity to 85% because it was too strong at 100% IMHO. Do you think it needs to be pulled back some more?

The saturation looks ok on my monitor here at work.

Maybe it isn't the saturation then, but something needs to be toned down - maybe the sharpening? Sorry I don't mean to critisize your photos unnecessarily! But hopefully, it's helpful comments ;)

Very helpful and not taken as criticism. I've struggled a bit with color saturation ever since I started using Portraiture. I like what it does to the skin tones but it can really render the reds over-saturated. I'm still learning the ins and outs of that plug-in.

Me either. I understand why people use that and other things to make their subjects look "better". Because that's what the customer wants.

But, I don't charge for what I do so I can get away with it. I prefer that people look how they look, blemishes and all.

I havent posted on this thread for a while so here we go. First some landscapes from Mexico.

This was a very fun trip with numerous opportunities to shoot. Especially a sunset and sunrise since our resort had its own private beach.

I hope you guys like these, i have a bunch more on my flickr account. Please C&C im always looking to learn more.

1-Sunrise at 6:20am Maya Riviera. It felt as if the clouds were right on top of me.

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3551/3819691594_880768f404.jpg

2- A horizontal view as well

3- The tower in Tulum, Mexico. The Mayans used a small cone shape on the north side of this tower with a hole in it to detect how close a hurricane was due to the sound the wind made as it flowed through it!

4- My good friend enjoying a corona at a beach in Cozumel, Mexico

5- Before the rise of the sun.

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2665/3818865573_5e2518f7ea.jpg

6- The moon at 10pm Playa Carmel Time. This was my most challenging shot. Lacking a true wide angle i laid basically flat on the sand trying to fit the moon in before it soard too high.

4- Sunrise at Maya Riviera with my shooting friend.

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3572/3818897891_df625779ae.jpg

5- I was walking the streets of Playa Carmen and strolled right by this guy. It took me a few seconds to process i had just passed by a guy playing a harp on a corner street. I went back and he slowed down a bit so i could get this shot.

Center focus and recomposing. The kids were not the most cooperative and moving around everywhere. The problem with the XSi is you can't easily change focus points unfortunately.

Just got mine today.

Done a quick test against my 28-135....stumped it at 28, 50 and 75mm, with apertures right up to 8. Didn't go any further...didn't need to. ;)

I love that lens. #2 is 100% Crop.

[yogestee]

The Tamron 28-75mm is slowly becoming my walk around lens in place of my Tamron 17-50mm F/2.8,,which is also a fine lens..

I took my 28-75mm for a walk through the markets here the other day to give my new 50D a really good work out..

These images were taken at 1600 ISO..

Thanks Scott.. The 50D and Tamron 28-75mm is proving to be a great combination..

Here are a couple examples with the 5D. I love this lens for the 5D.

Not the best 2.8 in it's class (the canons are def better) but well worth it for it's price.

Great pictures!! Can I ask what you used/settings to make these pictures? Im sort of a newbie with photography and shooting into the sun/light is one of my weakest points. Could you tell me exactly how you did these shots? thanks so much!!

Thank you..

I metered for the sky in AV.. Then used the settings in M...

I had a 430exii on camera, with a FEC of -2/3.. For Fill

Once your sky is metered, you'll just have to adjust your FEC, till you get the exposure correct on the subject.. I think it took a 2-3 shots

[str8addicted]

i have been looking and hearing good things about this lens on the 5d classic...... i joined the club yesterday and hopefully the lens will be here in time for me to take it out over the weekend

Ok this might sound incredibly noobish but how exactly do you meter for the sky? and I have found on my flash that I can only get an FEC of -2/3 in ettl mode.. I Obviously need to practice more with flash lol. also did you have any diffuser on your flash head?..

Thanks Alot for the help :)

[aerosmith9110]

Let me get that...

He was in AV mode.
Then he pointed it to the sky.

So you got the Apeture right? Since you set it...
when you point it to the sky the camera will tell you what shutter speed it will use for proper exp.
Keeping that in mind ...
He put the cam to Manual.
Put the metered ( apeture and S.speed he got when he "METERED" the sky for proper exp )
the he used his 430exii on camera, with a FEC of -2/3. FEC = Flash exposure compensation

hello fellow 24-75 users. i had a question about shutter speeds with the 28-75. i know my tamron 17-50 2.8 didn't do well with my hand held shooting style to me with anything under 1/200. i mean i still could get good shoots under 1/200 but i really saw the sharpness drop off. i was wonder are tamron 28-75 users have any fear at shooting at 1/60, 1/80, 1/100...

[Bobster]

i shoot 1/3 hand held.. it depends on the photographer, i have a pretty rock steady style of shooting (i shoot a lot of gigs which some i need to shoot @ ISO3200 and then only get shutter speeds of 1/3-1/15..)

Surprisingly good! I shot a bellydance event the other week, which had absolutely terrible lighting and still got tons of usable shots, in fact only a few had misfocus. However, I must admit I had the 580ex on cam (set not to fire) to aid the focusing.

These are a few of the shots (softer on here for some reason - probably Flickr's fault). I had to shoot wide open and ISO 1600, although I should have used ISO 3200 since I had ended up pushing the exposure in Photoshop anyway.

Had this lens for a couple of months now and really like it but not sure if i'd have been better of with the wider 17-50. These shots (girlfriend and son) where taken on a recent short break..
