 . High-performance imaging for shooting vast landscapes in sharp detail  The optical construction (15 elements in 10 groups) uses four LD (Low Dispersion) lens elementsto minimize axial chromatic aberrations that can occur with ultra-wide-angle zoom lenses. With two properly positioned GM (Glass Molded Aspherical) lenses, distortion and other aberration can be satisfactorily corrected as well.  Being the smallest and lightest in its class and dedicated to high quality imaging, the engineers have paid particular attention to size. The lens has also been carefully designed to allow peripheral point image reproducibility and thereby facilitate a high degree of sharpness and contrast.  The Minimum Object Distance (MOD) for the entire zoom range is a short 11 in., so background blurring is still possible when opening the aperture and approaching the subject close-up with this ultra-wide-angle zoom.  Advanced coating technology along with proprietary ghosting analysis simulation technology enabled the high level of backlighting control  Resistance to backlighting is extremely important for wide-angle lenses as they are often subjected to strong light sources. The Model A037 has a high level optical construction that repeatedly employs comprehensive ghosting analysis simulation. The BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating is highly effective in reducing reflection, allowing ghosting and flare throughout the entire zoom range to be controlled.  OSD (Optimized Silent Drive) enables both excellent AF speed and drive noise reduction  The AF drive system employs an OSD (Optimized Silent Drive) to ensure quiet operation. Through the innovative optimization of the system that includes AF system speed reduction gear, Tamron could greatly reduce the drive noise in comparison to conventional AF types with built-in DC motors. AF performance and speed have also been vastly improved. Thus, even if silence is required, AF can be employed without having to worry at all about noise creation. The Model A037 can provide superlative AF precision for exact focus even when shooting moving objects, as well as outstanding trackability.  Circular aperture to produce a smooth-edged bokeh  A 7-blade diaphragm is configured to retain a smooth, circular-shaped aperture opening even when stopped down by two stops from the wide-open aperture. This produces a smooth-edged bokeh in background light spots and avoids rugged aperture geometry.  Moisture-Resistant Construction  Seals are located at the lens mount area and other critical locations to prevent infiltration of moisture and/or rain drops to provide Moisture-Resistant Construction. This feature affords an additional layer of protection when shooting outdoors under adverse weather conditions.  Fluorine Coating  The surface of the front element is coated with a protective fluorine compound that has excellent water- and oil-repellant qualities. The front surface is easier to wipe clean and is less vulnerable to the damaging effects of dirt, dust, moisture or oily fingerprints, allowing for much easier maintenance. The coating also provides an enhanced level of durability, and will sustain its effectiveness for years.  Compatible with TAMRON TAP-in ConsoleTM, an optional accessory  The new A037 is compatible with the optional TAMRON TAP-in Console, an optional accessory product that provides a USB connection to a personal computer, enabling users to easily update a lens's firmware as well as customize features including fine adjustments to the AF.

Used Tamron AF 17-35mm f/2.8-4 Di OSD AF Lens for Nikon DSLR Cameras undefined

This is a great wide angle zoom from Tamron.  The quality is spot on and I use this thing almost everyday with little signs of any wear.  The distortion is also very minimal and shots are crystal clear.

Great lens from Tamron

The tamron 17-35mm is a great quality lens, although many may argue canon is better, I believe this lens competes well, especially considering its price.

Competes well with name brands

Excellent wide-zoom for the price, sharpness is excellent and I love the compactness.

Nice compact lens

Great wide lens. My favorite thing about this lens is the size. It?s so compact and easy to carry around. I?ve used the tamron 16-35 and wasn?t a fan because it felt bulky with my ftz adapter that i have to use on my nikon Z6. 
The one thing I?m not a huge fan of is the autofocus. It does the job, i just don?t think I?m quite used to it yet.

Great comapct wide lens!

Just the right angle range and price for me! Loving it!

Great lens!

Lens is sharp, very sharp in center throughout focal range. Edges are less sharp at both ends (17mm and 35mm), but get very sharp in the middle. Colors are great. Build is very nice even though plastic. Light weight and solid. Focus is good (not great), and tap-in is really a nice thing to have an use because the lens can have some front or back focus that can be corrected with the tap-in console. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because even though it's a good value performance wise, the absence of a focus distance window and especially VC are just unacceptable even at this price range.

Great lens, almost perfect hiking lens

So far I am really liking this lens.  The color capture has been great.  The lack of VC has not been an issue. I hope to continue with the great results.

Tamron wide angle lens

Super lightweight, great build quality, sharp and contrast.

Great lens.

I waited a long time after this lens was released, and regret that I did.  The photos produced (using a Nikon D750 and this lens) are great.  I use this lens mostly for landscape, and therefore shoot it at f/8.  As such, the sharpness edge to edge is wonderful.  No focus issues.  I am happy to recommend this lens.

Good wide-angle lens

This is the best wide angle lens I have tried so far.  Reasonably sharp from corner to corner throughout the focus range, even wide open.  Stopped down a couple of f-stops and the sharpness improves.  Well constructed, and the weather seals are a big plus.

Meets Expectations

I purchased this lens based on favorable reviews, and have been pleasantly surprised.  I agree with most of the reviews - the lens is not heavy, feels pretty solid, has a good feel/grip.  It attaches to my D610 nice, not too tight, and releases easily.  I like that Tamron made it a 77mm lens so my filters can work with my 24-70.  I find it to be slower to focus than my other lenses, but that's not a real problem, images are sharp.  The lens hood is large I suppose by necessity, but not obnoxious.   I think distortion at the wide end can be minimized with proper technique; sounds correctable in post, but I haven't spent much time with that.  I'm looking forward to using this on a trip to Death Valley and other parks this spring.  I'm still getting used to WA, it's a different animal.  I don't see anything really negative about this lens, it's fun to use, and you learn to see differently thru it.

Cool Lens

I don’t tend to use a lot of wide angle so I couldn’t justify getting the GM for my A7III. But this met my needs for casual shooting or cases where I want something wider than usual. AF is really effective on my Sony via an MC-11 adapter

Awesome light lens for my A7III

Very impressed. Simple, but great image quality at a great price.

Very impressed.

I just purchased this lens and took it on vacation. I used it daily for landscape shots as well as some family photos on the beach at sunset. I am extremely pleased with it! Even heavily cropped, my photos are tack sharp. I used it mounted to my Nikon D750. This is my first experience with a Tamron. It probably won't be my last! I highly recommend this lens.

Sharp and lightweight! What else could you ask for?

I needed something wider than my 24-70 and did not want to carry around another heavy lens.  This lens is surprisingly  lightweight, solidly made,  and easy to use. On my full-frame Nikon, the  performance is outstanding with respect ro sharpness, color saturation and bokeh. Don't forget a good polarizer if you want to shoot landscapes.    For the money,  this lens is an outstanding value.  I already have the Tamron 24-70/2.8 and 70-200/2.8 G2 lenses.  This one is another hit out of the park by Tamron.

Above expectation

Tamron 17-35mm

This lens is an absolute stunner, especially for the price. It is a perfect travel lens due to the weight, size and capabilities. Also great for photographing people and street. I ordered mine online and it arrived the next day. If you’ve been looking for the right ultra wide, this is it.

Above and beyond.

I bought this for a light weight wide zone and it has 77mm front thread so filters are easy to get. Took my first pictures with it at air show .

Nice light weight lens

I was on my way to purchase the Nikon 16-35 f/4 when this little darling showed up as a new item in stock for about half of the Nikon lens. It is 17 mm vs 16 mm of the Nikon, but at 17 mm, you get f/2.8. 

I was a little skeptical of the lens, not expecting high IQ from the lens, but man was I wrong. This little Tamron definitely does the job.

The build is a little light, it's not quite as well sealed as the Nikon, and there's more plastic, but that comes with the territory for a less expensive lens.

But it, try it, LOVE it!

Shock & Awe

This  lens is built so well, and functions so perfectly ... Wow!

  Quiet , Super quiet !   A Great price too!   I'm Happy !!!

Super Quiet and Razor Sharp

No complaints after playing with it a few days. Can’t comment n sharpness yet since I haven’t really pixel peeped but what I see so far in image quality is very good. Love the small size and build quality.
