Canon just released the new 7D PhotoRumors !
This is for crop sensors, right???
it is. And I can’t wait to see its high ISO performance
But I am really grateful for the camera, as it most probably will have an impact on Nikons D300(S). Finally…
What have you been smoking? A lens with ISO performance?
well, I had my share… But, I thought he was replying to the first comment…
Yes. APS-C size sensors only. The “DI-II” indicates that the lens is designed for the smaller sensors.
From Tamron’s Web site: “When pictures are taken with a Di-II lens on a full-size format, image corners become dark (ie., vignetting becomes noticeable).”
This is nowhere to be found outside this site. Not even the Tammy web site has this lens
that’s the whole idea, we get the good stuff before everybody else…
Press release is posted now on the U.S. site:
So far, only a news on the German website
Interesting news, I hope they’ll make a 28-75 VC too. Would be a much more interesting lens for me.
Finally, also someone who likes the tele-character of 2x-7x mm on DX!
Finally, it has taken the genius from Tanrom to do it. Is it technically that hard for Nikon or Canon to design such a lense. I have been waiting for something llike this… i hope it will as good as there pervious model. Thank you Tamron!
I wonder if the optics have been improved or if they’ve just added VC?
As it was quite sharp before, I doubt that one can expect much improvement there. In my opinion the biggest problem with this lens is the quality of the bokeh, which often seemed “turbulent”. I doubt that we see improvements here, as adding VC is a rather big improvement itself. But we’ll see…
This is all fine and good, but they really needed to put their VC on their 70-200 f/2.8 and the their 200-500 long zoom! What is taking them on this?
