With Tamron's various deals being available and flash sales during different months, we felt it was sensical to update our guide to Tamron prime lenses. Granted, they haven't released a prime lens in a while.
Tamron has made it their mission to create high quality, affordable lenses for Sony’s E mount cameras. The new 20mm, 24mm, and 35mm f2. 8 Di III OSD M1:2 lenses have set a new standard for affordable, weather-sealed fast primes.
Tamron took a good long while before fully committing themselves to the Sony E mount, but if some recent news is anything to go by, they plan on making up for the lost time. No fewer than seven patents have been filed in Japan for new Tamron f2 prime lenses.
Introduced during last year's PhotoPlus Expo, the Tamron 35mm f2. 8 Di III OSD M1:2 (Model F053) is part of a trio of compact and affordably priced prime lenses designed for Sony Full Frame Mirrorless cameras.
