Tamron SP 35mm f/1.4 Di USD - Canon EF, Nikon F Mount

The Tamron SP 35mm f/1.4 Di USD was released to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the SP series and represents Tamron's flagship prime lens for DSLRs. It is designed to offer exceptional resolution and minimal aberrations even at f/1.4. The lens features an Ultrasonic Silent Drive (USD) and a sophisticated optical design including LD (Low Dispersion) and GM (Glass Moulded Aspherical) elements, making it a professional-grade choice for reportage and portraiture. When buying used, pay close attention to the autofocus accuracy, which can be fine-tuned via the Tamron TAP-in Console if required. SDS checks the barrel for impact damage and ensures the internal lens groups are correctly aligned. The focus ring should operate smoothly without any 'gritty' feel. Check the front and rear elements for scratches and ensure the moisture-resistant seals are in good condition.
