What about Tamron 28-200 (571D) lens?

Re: What nearly Tamron 28-200 (571D) lens?

In reply to BobT • December 24, 2011

A bit late of a reply, but merely in case its of whatever help to any other people who stumbled across this lens (Sorry if there is a double post - I'yard a noob & might have replied to the author directly first time.):

I've actually got this Tamron 28-200mm 571D 7x lenses with a Canon EF mount - ie. i of the older versions of this lens size. I picked mine up used on kijiji in 2011 for $60 CDN - it seemed cheap enough to be worth a bullheaded try. No packaging or instructions, only it came with a front cap and the petal hood. No rear cap simply I got i on ebay for $2.

The type on base of operations of the butt reads: Tamron AF Aspherical LD [IF] 28-200mm i:iii.8-5.vi @72 (serial#xxxxxx) 571D Fabricated in Nihon. {the 72 seem to hateful 72mm diameter on the front internally threaded butt) It has a reddish alignment dot (EF) but its working on my EF-S mount Canon DSLR.

As another affiche mentioned, I can't say its smashing, but its non utter total crap either. I really but wanted to come across what a 28-200 range looked similar on my trusty old Canon Rebel XT/350D. (Yeah, its old, but I like the way it handles and shoots better than some of the newer Canons - elementary & reliable with lots of displays and buttons and so less carte stumbling.)

This is the just Tamron lens I accept used and then far. The 571D seems to have very accurate automobile focus, and the transmission focus ring has good grip and feel, though its narrower than a manual purist would like. Its aught near Canon 50-series sharp, but stopped down to f8 outdoors or indoors with a bit of fill flash, images were abrupt enough - not the worst lens I accept used. Non sure if this means much, merely when I have it in transmission and focus by eye, the bespeak at which I it looks in focus to me coincides with the XT beeping focus, so I took that as a good sign. When I put well lit exam images in 1:one way on the reckoner screen, the definition seemed quite good, though not quite as clear every bit my Cracking L on the aforementioned discipline matter at the same length.

The max aperture range I get on this 571D is f4-f22 on my XT, not the max f3.eight listed on the butt: not sure if that is about the lens or the photographic camera, but its not a large deal for me. I agree the dissimilarity is not great - images are a bit flat, only I tin modern that with just the slightest correction on a reckoner, and then its non large loss, and your cam may accept offsets if its important, and I am sure a UV or polarizer filter would improve things. I haven't really used it plenty to rate it for CA, vignetting or barrel distortion, though for $60 I'yard not going to complain too much. Its not a fast lens, merely with an external and/or remote flash, it can evangelize decent plenty shots for coincidental or general web employ. Not sure its worth much more than though these days, especially since at that place are several generations of new and improved models plainly.

Its a heavy lens for certain - its plastic exterior but the build feels solid and you feel the weight, particularly with a digital Insubordinate. That'due south adept, I find, for wide shots when I am well braced and shooting - the weight damps hand shake a chip. Simply on tele shots, you really need a tripod or lots of daylight then yous can shoot a fast shutter speed. There's a reason people pay the extra $ on lenses in this length for IS. It did feel a bit more than balanced on a friend'due south 5D. Thankfully the front of the barrel does not rotate when you focus, and the mounting plate is metal. The merely switch is for auto/transmission focus. Auto seemed pretty quick for a noisy micromotor.

Overall, for the toll/functioning for this lens, I'chiliad happy with the copy I have - no clue what it price new back in the 24-hour interval. It doesn't go used much, merely I like having the zoom length bachelor on rare times I need it, though I won't shoot tele without a tripod. Its on par with my stock xviii-55mm DC (non IS) Canon lens: a good beater lens with skilful range for shooting outside or with practiced fill lighting. It might be a bit heavy and lacking in IS for an easy walkaround lens for most people. I'm glad that at least now I know what kind of field of view range to expect on an APSC and full frame if, er when, I can cough up for a 24-105mm or 70-200mm Catechism L series.
