It seemed sharp enough when the subjects were brightly lit, but at lower light levels the contrast was really very poor and even with a tripod, negs seemed 'soft'. Neil.

I do not use it very much as I have others less heavy (but slower). I found the photos taken with the Tamron to be more than good. In fact I compared them with my Contax 300/4 and wondered if spending the extra money for the latter was really worth it. Maybe the one owned by Neal was a lemon. Joseph Codispoti
