Tamron SP 35mm f/1.8 Di VC USD

The Tamron SP 35mm f/1.8 Di VC USD is a high-performance prime lens for full-frame DSLRs, part of the 'Super Performance' series. It is notable for including Vibration Compensation (VC), which is rare for a wide-angle prime, and a very short minimum focusing distance of just 0.2m. This allows for close-up photography with a wide perspective. The f/1.8 aperture combined with the VC system makes it an excellent choice for low-light handheld street photography and environmental portraiture. Used units should be checked for the responsiveness of the USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) motor. The VC system should be tested to ensure it stabilises the image without causing blurring during movement. SDS checks the fluorine coating on the front element for any permanent marks or cleaning damage. As this lens is weather-sealed, the rear gasket should be inspected for integrity. Ensure the AF/MF and VC switches click firmly into place and that the focus scale moves freely across its range.
