So, I just got this lens and tried it out today. Very sharp, except at 50mm all fstops, worse was 50mm 2.8. Is this normal? I compared it against my 35mm f2 (only because I have to choose between the two can only keep one). The 35 was a lot sharper at 2.8 further away (Tamron (set at 35mm) won at 4.0 and 5.6 further away). And 35mm was also sharper up close for 2.8, 4.0, and 5.6. Obviously I can't compare Tamrons other focal lengths to the 35 since that's all it has. I'm still so confused on which to keep! The 35 does a lot better indoors for me, but I like the zoom on the Tamron.

I had a problem when I bought mine, new, at 75mm/f2.8

Sent it in to Tamron, because I was really happy with all the other settings of this lens and didn't want to risk sending it back for a replacement that may have turned out be not quite as good, overall.

Glad I did. They fixed it without screwing up the rest of the performance.

Sounds like one of the elements is out of whack in yours.

The third shot is just weird.

The scrub is OOF/blurred while the painted lines on the road are in focus, yet in the same focus plane.

Was it windy and long shutter speed ?

Apologies for the delay!
Yes, it was very, very windy up there.
The shutter speed was 1/800
