Pros

Gm, but at $899 there is nothing close that matches this tamron 17-28 f/2.

The fov is amazing when it comes to real estate and landscape photography. More money, but much better suited for my photography and videography needs. Thats my opinion as profesional photographer and videographer.

Focus is incredibly fast, and at f/8 and beyond you're gonna get a sharp image across the frame. Great reaction with focus in drift/stunt photography. My only complaint is when you put the camara in portrait position the auto focus hunt a lot on subje... Read More

The sharpness is on point. It's perfectly capable of doing what's on the tin. I love the feel of the lens, even love the lettering on the lens!

Quality

Colors look great and i’m impressed with the sharpness for the price

It have little to non ca and the distortion is acceptable for a super wide angle lens but lens correction is not well supported... Read More

Competitiveness

I have paired this lens with my sony a7riii and it is wonderful for the price

Auto focusit performs great on my a7iii almost like any lens made directly by sony

Probably not as robust as the sony competition but i have no definitive evidence that this is the case

I used to have a tokina 1116 that i loved but ever since going full frame ive needed a new wide angle lens
