Post by: Akira on June 02, 2017, 19:38:02: Love the first one for the delicate color. Love the second one for vivid but elegant color.

Post by: Hugh_3170 on June 06, 2017, 14:16:40: Airy, I really like the rendering of this Tamron. Your collection of lenses around the 50mm focal length appears to be quite extensive. Where does the Tamron sit for you?

Airy, I really like the rendering of this Tamron. Your collection of lenses around the 50mm focal length appears to be quite extensive. Where does the Tamron sit for you?

Well, here's the list : Voigt 40/2, Tamron 45/1.8, 45/2.8 PC-E, 50/2 AI, 50/1.8 AI, 50/1.8 AIS pancake, 50/1.8 G, 50/1.4 SC, 50/1.4 AIS, 50/1.2 AI, 50/1.2 AIS, 55/2.8 micro, Voigt 58/1.4, 58/1.2 AIS.

Concerning the Tamron 45/1.8, there is a specific thread under "lens talk" with some comparisons.
In short, very clean, sharp (on Df), bokeh is rather good, night behaviour is very good. While the general contrast is less than with Zeiss lenses, the contrast is still there when the subject is backlit or, precisely, at night.
If you add VC, weatherproofing and an acceptable focus ring, it is a very good lens overall.

I agree with your observation on the stem. However, I absolutely wanted to keep the OOF rose on the right. A case for more photoshopping.

Hi Brute, that Yellow Breasted Chat is an unusual shape.
Like it's standing on tiptoe, singing it's heart out to the world!

The perfume from those roses must have touched it's heart :)

Post by: Airy on August 03, 2019, 22:47:16: So do I, not to mention the "strange" composition. Some Degas paintings also brush the subject to the side, and emphasize the circumstances.
