Tamron AF (IF) 28-105mm 1:4-5.6 Test

[farlymac]

Mounted on a Nikon N90s, with Kodak Ektar 100 film accidentally rated at 400.

The lens worked flawlessly, focused fast, and wasn’t too noisy. It’s also light weight, so the N90s didn’t feel out of balance. The range was good for the location, as there weren’t a lot of wide open spaces to draw in closer. It doesn’t have a macro feature, but will close-focus to 0.5m/1.64ft. That’s close enough when zoomed in to 105mm.

Test scenery from beautiful Craig County, VA along Barbour's Creek. I didn’t have to correct all the exposures. Makes me think I should shoot the Ektar almost a stop under all the time.
