Bai compatible ang Tamron 17-50mm sa FF? Do I have to buy a FF version of this lens?

akong suggest nimo TS...baligya na imong 24-70, palit ug 17-50 ug 35mm.

kana imong 24-70 matulog nalang na kung naa kay 17-50. Kay kana sad sigma 24-70 f2.8 walay ayo na i butang sa FF.

Thanks sa tanan. Decided to get the Tammy first then the Nikkor 35mm f1.8D.

I need expert advice on both of these lenses. Who has both and used both lenses? I'm going to use it for pre-nups and in the studio (mostly models). I've read so many reviews on the internet but unluckily did not find what I wanted so I needed an advice from the experts here.

Just no thread crapping please.

I'd go for the Tamron too, but you said gamiton sad nimo for studio so I'm not quite sure. I prefer primes when in a controlled environment for portrait shoot. Good idea though on selling bnoth current lenses and getting both the Tammy and 35mm

Alright, enough now on the Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 vs Nikon 35mm f1.8G.

Now in dilemma for: Nikon 35mm f1.8G vs Sigma 30mm f1.4 EX DC HSM

Sigma,
1. wider focal range
2. faster aperture
3. bokeh

Nikon,
1. build quality
2. bokeh
3. cheaper

RAAAAAAAWWWWWWR

Yes that will be my plan. I'm planning to sell both my lenses above then get both the Tamron 17-50mm and Nikon 35mm f1.8D. (older version because it is much cheaper than the G series)

murag wala may AF-D version ang 35mm 1.8, perhaps ur referring to 35mm F2 AF-D, which is the FF lens. 35mm 1.8G is the DX lens.


regarding ur Sigma 30mm, make sure lang that it has no compatibility issues with ur current cam. ive heard and read that some Sigma's need to be calibrated to properly function with the cam body.

one more thing, since ul be getting the Tammy first and as u stated, ul be using it for pre-nups and studio shots, maybe an 85mm would be better on the controlled environment.. and it will not be redundant with the Tammy's focal length.

The 5mm difference is not much really and the .4 on the aperture is very subtle but you wouldn't notice it. Just go for the 35mm f1.8 but if your upgrading to a FF go for the 35mm f1.4 or yet if you can spend more go for the Zeiss 35mm f1.4 which ridiculously great lens.

dili compatible ng 17-50 sa FF. Anyway, there is the tamron 24-70 f2.8 coming for the FF.

[GlazerPro]

Thanks bai! Might as well go with the Nikkor prime.

Tamron 24-70mm? I hope it will be released earlier.
