Klaus Schroiff and Markus Stamm have just posted a full review of the newly released Tamron SP 35mm F1.8 Di VC USD (Amazon|B&H|Adorama|ebay) at the opticallimits.com. Tested on the Nikon D3X, they found “Some aspects are really impressive whereas others … not so much really. The lens does a good job in terms of resolution – mostly…“
Verdict from opticallimits, “While this may sound worrisome, you have to balance this with the fact that the corners aren’t usually all THAT important in real world situations when using the lens at this setting…The borders and corners improve by stopping down and are very good at f/4 and beyond. Both image distortion as well as lateral CAs are very well controlled. Bokeh fringing isn’t quite as impressive though. There’s some light falloff visible at f/1.8 but, to be fair, that’s just normal on full format cameras. The quality of the bokeh left some mixed impressions. The general blur is quite smooth but out-of-focus highlights are downright unpleasant…”
