"Enjoy many aspects of this great new lens. From its small footprint in my camera bag to its performance as a wide angle lens."

"This is only our second Tamron lens and it is fantastic. It is definitely not a fisheye lens."

I have about 18 lenses, mostly Nikon. I have none better than this lens. It is amazingly sharp. I am in love.
