Tamron 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5 DI-II LD for Canon

JeffS4653: This was my first experience with an ultra wide lens. With this particular lens at 10mm (which is basically all I used it at), I found the edges and corners to be very soft, especially at f/3.5. I ended up using the lens on Av mode set to either f/8 or f/11. The sharpness improved considerably, but still is a little soft (but acceptable). It basically acted just as every online review indicated it would. To clarify further, if one was shooting outdoor landscapes, and nothing was close to the camera at the edges, you wouldn't really notice this. However, if you're shooting an indoor scene, you will notice this. The problem with having to work at f/8 or f/11 is it limits your low light shooting options, but for outdoor it's no problem. For me this wasn't an issue as many of the shots I took were tripod mounted indoor long exposures. Focus was fast and accurate. Resistance to flair was good. My overall opinion of the lens is that when I decide to purchase a UWA lens, this particular model would not be considered. I am not sorry I rented this lens, nor am I unhappy with the results, I just would not use it again. The lens was used with an EOS 60D.

Meghan: I rented this lens to take photos of my baby girls nursery. I put so much work into her nursery that I wanted some great pictures of it...not just bits and pieces, but the room as a whole. Obviously, this lens was great for that. I love the pictures that I got with this lens and I love that I was able to just rent it to be able to use for a couple days, instead of forking over $700+ to buy one! I'll definitely be back to try out another!
