SP 35mm F/1.8 Di VC USD overview
The Tamron SP 35mm F/1.8 Di VC USD is a 35mm f/1.8 prime for full-frame cameras on Canon EF / EF-S, Nikon F and Sony A-mount, announced by Tamron in September 2015. 42 cameras we track take it without an adapter. It is discontinued, so new stock may be limited.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits low light.
New, it sells for £310 in the United Kingdom (eBay.co.uk); used and refurbished copies start at £260.48.
Worth comparing it with the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G ED, Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM and Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art.
