Yup, almost too clear and contrasty. Will see if I can give the Tamron 45/1.8 another test in the coming days...and will check your questions 
Greetings,
I'm more curious about your experience with the Tamron 35mm f1.8 VC. Currently I use a Sigma 35 and it has definitely spoiled me in terms of sharpness expectations at wide open. It's clinical I guess but gets the job done.
Conflicting reviews on Tamron are flying all around, some saying it's much less sharp, with lots of chromatic aberrations. Others praise it's uniformity.
I'm trying to shed some weight, gain VC and the much needed weather sealing. I hope this does not happen at a very heavy cost of sharpness. Wide open sharpness not that important but I'm more curious on how you fared with different aberrations with your limited testing both in focus and out of focus.
Also, the manual focus direction on Tamron lenses is still wrong compared to Nikon's right?
