Review of Tamron SP AF Aspherical LD ​​[IF] 28-105mm 1: 2.8 276D

The Tamron SP AF Aspherical LD ​​[IF] 28-105mm 1: 2.8 276D is a unique lens, it has a 3.75x zoom and a fixed maximum aperture of 1: 2.8. Personally, I do not know of other similar high-aperture lenses with such a large zoom ratio. For example, lenses such as Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm 1: 2.8GN ED и Canon Zoom Lens EF 24-70mm 1: 2.8 L USM have a total of 2.92X zoom. It is easy to recognize the zoom ratio by dividing a larger focal length by a smaller one, in the case of Tamron 28-105 / 2.8 276D you need to divide 105 mm by 28 mm and get a result of 3.75 X.

It is generally accepted among photographers that it is very difficult to make a good fast zoom lens for full-frame cameras with a zoom factor of more than 3X, and for some focal length ranges it is physically impossible. But that was not the case, Japanese engineers did their best and made a really very interesting lens.

Personally, I very often use a lens with the same focal length range - Nikon AF Nikkor 28-105mm 1: 3.5-4.5D and I think this range of focal lengths is very, very convenient, which is suitable for a huge number of photo tasks. By the way, the difference between the range of 28-105 mm and the more common ranges, such as 24-120 mm and 24-105 mm in practice, I feel weak, although at one time I played enough with my Nikon 24-120mm 1: 3.5-5.6D AF Nikkor и Nikon ED AF-S Nikkor 24-120mm 1: 3.5-5.6G SWM VR IF Aspherical. As a result, Tamron 28-105 / 2.8 276D acts as a universal lens with a very attractive range of focal lengths, and even with maximum aperture F / 2.8 over the entire range. In practice, it is difficult to overestimate the ability to use 105mm@F/2.8 for portraiture and 28mm@F/2.8 for indoor use, especially in low light.

In fact, the Tamron SP AF Aspherical LD ​​[IF] 28-105mm 1: 2.8 276D presented in this review is not the first lens in the 28-105 / 2.8 class. Prior to this, the company had a Tamron SP AF Aspherical LD ​​[IF] 28-105mm 1: 2.8 176D, which is easily distinguished from the 276D by the red 'Aspherical' lettering. The lenses have the same optical design. Model 276D was produced from 2000 to 2004, and 176D - from 1997 to 2000. There is also a manual Tamron SP Aspherical LD ​​[IF] 28-105mm 1: 2.8 176DA.

The manual for Tamron SP AF Aspherical LD ​​[IF] 28-105mm 1: 2.8 276D, in which it is designated 'Tamron SPAF 28-105mm F / 2.8 LD Aspherical [IF] (Model 276D)', includes three lenses at once: 266D, 67D and 276D. At first I was even worried, but what if the manufacturer saves not only on paper and layout for instructions, but also on the lenses themselves? But then he reassured himself that these three lenses could be the leaders, the 'Stakhanovists' of their time, that's why the instructions are immediately issued for all three 'brave guys'. I scanned the instructions, you can view and download from this link.

Tamron 28-105 / 2.8 276D turned out to be a truly huge lens, using filters with a diameter of 82 mm and a weight of 880 grams, which significantly affects when it is mounted on the camera. Native Nikon ED SWM AF-S Nikkor 28-70mm 1: 2.8D, with a smaller focal length range, weighs even more - 935 grams. The lens is very well assembled, even in spite of its huge trunk, which extends during zooming and consists of two parts - there are no backlashes or any other reason to doubt poor build quality. Although I can find fault with the fact that from the side of the camera mount you can see the lens electronics - boards, wires and cables. The body is made of plastic, although very sturdy.

The focus and zoom ring are rubberized. The zoom ring simultaneously serves to switch to the 'Anti-Slip Mode' (from the English 'slip' - 'slip'), which does not allow the lens to spontaneously change the focal length under its own weight. To enable 'Anti-Slip Mode', simply pull the zoom ring towards the camera, while this mode does not lock the focal length of the lens, but simply makes the zoom ring travel tighter. If you turn off the 'Anti-Slip Mode', then the trunk of the lens pops out spontaneously (slides) very easily under its own weight, and the zoom ring begins to rotate more easily. I really liked the 'Anti-Slip Mode', it is really very useful and it is easy to turn it on and off. For active shooting with frequent focal length changes, it is recommended to turn off 'Anti-Slip Mode'.

The lens has a very fast auto focus. The focusing time from MDF to infinity and vice versa is the same as Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm 1: 2.8GN ED. During auto focus, the focus ring rotates and cannot be touched. When you change the focal length, the focus ring extends forward along with the trunk of the lens. In fact, the focus ring is aligned with one of the inner sections of the lens that extend during zooming. During zooming, the front lens does not rotate, and the rear lens moves inside the lens body like a pump, driving air through the inside of the lens and camera.

Focusing is of the internal type, which is very pleasing :). In manual focus mode, the focus ring rotates only a measly 60 degrees, so manual focusing is not very convenient. The minimum focusing distance is achieved at a focal length range of 70-85 mm and is 44 cm. On the lens barrel you can find a focusing distance scale in meters and feet, but there is very little practical use from it. When zooming in on the front of the lens barrel, two rows of numbers become visible, which show the MDF in meters and feet for the set focal length. With these numbers, the trunk of the lens looks much more solid and it seems that the lens can shoot 'super-macro', it's a pity, but it is not :). The maximum magnification ratio is only 1: 4.7 and is achieved at 85mm focal length.

It's important: auto focus with this lens is available only when using him on cameras with built-in motor focusing.

Only auto focus and sound confirmation of focus will not work with these cameras, all other important functions, such as automatic exposure metering and automatic iris control, will work well.

You will find a lot of useful information on the types of cameras and lenses Nikon here.

There is no focus mode switch on the lens itself; to put the lens in manual focus mode, you must put the camera in manual focus mode using the switch located near the camera mount.

The lens has a manual aperture ring. To be able to control the value aperture from camera or for automatic installation aperture on modern central control valves, you need to turn the control ring to the value F / 22, after which it is fixed by a special small button-lock, which is located to the left of the marks aperture. If this is not done, then on a number of cameras, the display will display an error - 'fEE' (ring is not installed aperture) Some cameras having diaphragm rheostatallow you to control the aperture using the ring aperturebut only in metering modes exposure 'M' and 'A'. You can read more about this issue in the section on Non-G Lenses.

As befits a good professional lens, its aperture consists of 9 blades and closes down to f / 22 across the entire focal length range. The petals form regular polygons, which practically correspond to a circle in the out-of-focus area (at least there are no obvious 'nuts' in the out-of-focus area).

Nikolai, who sent me a lens for review, has two similar models, one of them is noticeably worse than the other, because we can say that the image quality with Tamron 28-105 / 2.8 276D can vary greatly depending on the instance.

The lens that I visited on my review pleasantly surprised me and in some cases showed excellent image quality. The only serious drawback that I noticed was a very weak sharpness at the edges and corners of the frame when using 105 mm focal length. Vignetting, distortion and chromatic aberration turned out to be much less serious than I expected. And the best part is that if you close the aperture at least to f / 4.0, then in the center of the frame the lens creates a very sharp image across the entire focal length range. And also - the lens holds very well in side and backlight. When shooting, in some situations, the lens did not see the sun in the frame at all. But, of course, small and large glare can still be obtained :). As for me, this lens has a pretty interesting 'pattern'.

Results

The Tamron SP AF Aspherical LD ​​[IF] 28-105mm 1: 2.8 276D has indeed proven itself to be one of the highest quality professional lenses, as evidenced by the letters 'SP' (Super Performance) on its body and showed a very high quality level of assembly, and most importantly - good level of image quality. Overall, I was very pleased with this lens, and its maximum aperture of F / 2.8 can be used for a number of photographic tasks. Apparently the aspherical and 'Tamron LD' glass elements are doing their job well :).

  • Dmitry K

    the dream of beginners is a lot faster, I will shoot landscapes and portraits, and so that inexpensively! Why interestingly removed from production? and how much did it cost then? how much can you find now? I'll go digging in the net ... if I find anything, I'll add it in the answers))

    • Dmitry K

      http://betterfamilyphotos.blogspot.ru/2012/05/do-it-all-at-f28-tamron-28-105-28.html
      it costs about $ 250 second-hand (the best offer) or (600 on average), judging by the test the link is quite soapy and vignetting heavily, Arkady was better at the test. Overall price / performance ratio is good

    • Do_Oraemon

      Everybody's dream is more powerful. Because it allows you to shoot a little longer during the working time. And in the "dark" even in the summer at 7 pm not a damn thing is visible. So this is not a question of portraits / landscapes, but just common sense. It is always possible to close the diaphragm, but on the contrary ... In the sun, what kind of normal person goes to shoot?

    • Lynx

      You have to pay for everything. For versatility - quality, for light-gathering power - for price and aberrations, for quality of drawing - often lack of zoom.
      The sooner a beginner realizes that generations and many photographers are no more stupid than him, and such a variety of glasses and prices is justified and appeared solely due to the fact that “cheap, awesome, high-aperture and from 10 to 400” does not happen, the faster he will stop rushing about in search of everything and immediately and begin to slowly figure out what exactly he needs.

  • anonym

    almost 4x zoom - 2.8?

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Yes :)

    Can I use the Canon 70D? (With adapter)

    Alexander good evening. Thank you so much for your review !!! Have you tried to shoot them on a crop? If “YES”, how did he show himself? Thanks in advance!!!

    • Alexander

      Vitaly, good day to you, but you were mistaken in calling Arkady Alexander;)

    • Arkady Shapoval

      I haven’t tried it on the crop, I suppose that due to the multi-megapixel nature of modern crops, this Tamron will not have enough urine to “pull” them. I do not recommend it for a crop.

  • Do_Oraemon

    Indeed, Tamrons (like Sigma and Tokina) have a very dashing spread in quality. Some are just fabulous image quality, while others are just junk. And the third ... It seems that the image is excellent, but the assembly is unimportant - either the zoom wedges, then the lens "falls off" from the carcass.

    Arkady good evening. Thank you so much for the review !!! You did not try to shoot them on the crop? If YES, how did he show himself? Thanks in advance!!!

    beautifully washes the background, very similar to sonar blur)

  • Gene jb

    Tamron has long surpassed the quality of consumer goods for Canon. I won't say about Nikon - I don't know. Shirpotrebovsky tamrons are made as a semi-professional in the canon (in terms of workmanship). Of course, this does not apply to this lens, because it is a bit old.

    • Lynx

      haha

      • Yarkiya

        After the comments of Gene JB and Do_Oraemon, I would say not just ha ha, but ha ha ha!

        • AM

          Something it reminds me of;)

        • Do_Oraemon

          Apparently, they did not collide, since such a reaction. Nothing, everything happens for the first time in my life.

          • Yarkiya

            Yes, no, just one praises and the other scolds. Cool.

            • Do_Oraemon

              Ah, well, if from this point of view, then yes :-)

              • Gene jb

                I did not mean this lens. Compare 18-135 canon (whale, golem plastic) and for example 18-125 sigma (almost completely metal) and 18-200 tamron (85% metal) + XR, LD. Strange as it may seem, I like pictures from sigma and tamrons more than from a whale. Yes, they have alignment errors, but this is mainly due most likely to a more complex design.

          • Oleg

            For some reason I can not answer your message below, I will answer here.
            Holding a couple of copies of Tamron 18-200 XR LD for Nikon, this is some kind of hell: mercilessly soaping at the edges of the focal. 100% crop shows that the picture is evenly covered with snow, even though the glass is clean.
            Even the flat whale 18-55 gave me a better picture than this tamron.
            I believe that the matter is precisely in the famous analysis of the factory quality of tamrons, and there is no need to state any categorical opinion about such a lens without its preliminary alignment :)

            • Lynx

              Tamron Well!
              Yes, and 18-200. They all have this quality, plus or minus 10% of figs

  • Valery

    Ai good review. Penetrated.

  • Andrei

    Blur is very pretty and true! Arkady, and the photo is where the sun is a little behind the cloud without any filters? Simple and bright source in the frame and the hills at the same time worked out well))

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Yes, everything was filmed without filters and without a hood. I forgot the hood at home, but I don't have 82 mm filters. Hills in JPEG stretched ADL, during shooting was in the 'Auto' mode.

  • Sergiy

    Dyakoy for the review of Arkadiy. For a long time, nagging to ny, re-reading a bunch of info. People write about the development of software and software for social networks 35-105 2,8 times. About shvidkіst trick focus after reading tilki here).

  • Denis

    Thank you for the article! Very interesting lens!

  • Nikita

    What a nice review! Thanks! Didn't even know about the existence of this lens. Arkady, I am interested in your opinion - is it radically different from the 24-70 / 2,8 G ED AF-S N Nikkor on the same focal points on the D700? For example, hit accuracy and sharpness at 2,8. I'm not asking about bokeh - the difference is obvious.

    • Arkady Shapoval

      24-70 is 2.8 better, especially contrast and glare resistant. 24-70 because of af-s behaves differently with autofocus. In general, radically different lenses, probably except for the price, zoom and design, Tamron has nothing to brag about to Nikkor.

  • Nicholas

    Hello, Arkady. Thank you for your logical, understandable, and most importantly, interesting reviews. Could you ask a question? And what is your favorite lens for a professional camera, and which one for an amateur? And if there are any, what are they good for?

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Let me tell you a secret - lenses do not matter what kind of camera you work on, professional or amateur. I like fast telephoto lenses (and zooms and fixes).

    • Nicholas

      Excuse me, Arkady, I did not concoct my question that way, I wanted to ask “what professional lens and what lens, so to speak, for mere mortals, especially to your liking?” Thank you for your answer. I wish you success.

      • Arkady Shapoval

        I like the lens on my camera. If you don’t believe and trust your technique, you will surely stumble and fall into the abyss. If you understand and appreciate your technique, you can get a good result with it in the photo. Personally, I do not shoot as cool "glasses" as many think.

        • Nicholas

          :-) Sorry for the importunity, but I’m still interested to know the opinion of a professional. I will paraphrase the question: Are you on a desert island, you are allowed to have one lens. So anyway, which one would you choose?

          • Arkady Shapoval

            On a desert island, I would have no time for lenses. And over time, tastes and needs change, today one, tomorrow another. If you want to hear specific models from me, it won't work, I don't see the point in that.

    Photoonanism, photoonanism is a maniacal obsession with photographic equipment, a photoonanist spends all his free money on lenses for his govnozerkalka, and all his free time on talking about the merits of his govnozerkalka and lenses in specially designated places for photoonanism - the so-called photo forums like Radozhiva. At the same time, it is not necessary to be able to photograph, and for especially advanced photoonanists it is completely undesirable. Then the bish mustache who gathered here belong to the photoanonists, and the main among them are Arkady, Yarkiy and Lynx (so to speak, the supreme Photoanonists, who know everything, and have not shown a single masterpiece of theirs, and shoot mediocre shit, at the level of any bydlozerkalker) :) On this forum you will NEVER see photos, let alone ... amazing photos, because the main thing is to fuck and write for hours and years that Tamron is better than Sigma, and Sigma is better than Nikan than to finally lift your ass and go take pictures .... Unfortunately, 99% of those sitting here will not take off any ... uy good)))) And they will announce on different equipment here together with Arkady, good luck guys in this not an easy matter.

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Actually, to copy-paste Lurk, you also do not need a mind :) for mats ban :)

    • sergey

      You are an anonymous person, too, read Arkady's articles, which means you ... Arkady thanks for the review, as always on top, and such samples do not photograph anything, and cannot show anything. personally my opinion - this is the best site about photos ...

    • Jury

      In psychology, there is one postulate: in order to quickly understand what kind of person is in front of you, you need to listen to what he has to say about others. We all see the world exclusively through the prism of our consciousness - only this way, and nothing else. Therefore, everything that we see in other people is, first of all, in ourselves. And it is not at all necessary that what we see is in other people in reality. This is an axiom. Internet forums are the most revealing place. some participants make their judgments without even once talking to those who are “laid out along and across”, thereby giving themselves a very accurate description.

    • pilotkins

      You are cool :))))) you shoot superphoto on a soap dish ... well, cool cho :)

  • anonym

    Arkady has an instant reaction :) I quickly cleaned up everything so that the fans of the photoanonists would not run away. Unfortunately, I wrote the pure truth. And for this ban, and not for mats. True, she's always bitter and cruel. Yes, Arkady? Sometimes it surprises me how many people sitting on your forum rubbish and speculate all sorts of shit, instead of taking the truth and getting out for photography, and then returning home to throw another link here on their shots, and say, they say, they took a picture on such a lens. , and look how it turned out great ... .. No. It is not necessary to take a picture. The main thing is to just scribble here that one lens is better or worse than the other. Understand already all of you here at last, that it does not matter WHAT to photograph !!! And if someone here does not agree that he is a PHOTODROCHER, then please, we are waiting for a link to your masterpieces…. Although I am 101% sure that NOBODY will show their shots, because all the GURUs who are here jamming all sane bullshit comments (I'm talking about Yarkiy and Lynx now) can't shoot, and don't shoot at all.

    • Arkady Shapoval

      I left the previous post, why are you whining? ban purely for mats :) And the fact that people are maniacally obsessed with photographic equipment is pure truth (proof), and I write about it all the time (proof).
      But what do you want from me? There should be reviews too, and try to spend your time collecting and publishing 50 photos of the same nature for Tamron’s review, because the girl with whom it was persuaded to remove the set refused at the last moment, pay for the mail forwarding of this tamron, reshoot it in light tube, write the text (at the same time I do not do comparative tests about which you wrote so much), and then read any heresy off topic in the comments :) Ray crying, crying with bitter tears.

      • Peter Sh.

        Arkady, thank you very much for the work done, articles and reviews. I am sure that for many your help is essential for navigation in the modern sea of ​​photography, where the devil will break his leg.

        Personally, I learned from you a lot of important things that I myself would never have found out due to an elementary lack of time.

    • Ivan

      Lol
      There are photo forums with photos, thousands of them, and this is a site about technology (and shooting technique, by the way, too). A completely unique site and useful.

      And you, anon, don’t like that people have the freedom on the Internet to write what they want and read what?

      Arkady is a separate plus for an adequate answer is inadequate.

    • Oleg

      I threw a link to my work)) a couple of people checked out)) the rest said that crap)

  • Anonymous Anonymous

    Yes, I did not want to write anything about you. So Arkady accidentally escaped. Sorry if that. You’re done, you do the NEEDED thing, write unique useful content, spend a lot of time blogging, and even take pictures, and not just splash out the verbal panos like Lynx, Yarkiy, Gene JB Do_Oraemon, Dmitry K, AM and other photo dochers, which are in each gag review. Everywhere, 5 kopecks are inserted and kicked by everyone who wouldn’t write here, and sometimes smart people write here, and these people, unlike the above photo docs, even share links to their photographs, moreover, to quite adequate works, but nobody listens to them, and She doesn’t want to hear, all the above-mentioned heroes of this forum are just sure that they only have the CORRECT point of view, they are KINGS photos without photos that tell everyone here how to take pictures, but they don’t take pictures at all, and all the others, in their opinion, Zera.

        Arkady, what can you say about the use of this lens as a portrait lens on the FF?

        • Arkady Shapoval

          Can be used.

  • anonym

    Ivan, if you are not just another photo shooter on this forum, then throw a link to your masterpieces. And if not, then be quiet, better quietly and do not prove to everyone that you are another photo-dude from this forum. And what does “photo forum with photos” mean ??? and how does it differ from “a site about technique and technique of shooting by the way too” ???? If Lynx, Yarkiy, Gene JB Do_Oraemon, Dmitry K, AM and other photo shooters here teach EVERYONE in EVERY thread how and what EVERYONE needs to photograph, then let them share links to their MASTERPIECE works, with a justification of why you need to shoot with those lenses that have in their arsenal THEY. That's why I started this conversation. And it's already dumb for me to write here, because I've already littered Arkady's site a lot. Therefore, I will not write more and answer here. Who understands will understand. And if Lynx, Yarkiy, Gene JB Do_Oraemon, Dmitry K, AM do not understand, then let them continue to engage in photoanonism in each branch of Arcadia's reviews. Bye everyone! Shoot more, stay less on photo forums and fap less on equipment. RAW is power, JPEG is grave! Arkady best of the best!

    • Arkady Shapoval

      I assume that the above users will share links only if you give the right example :)

        Alexander Trekhsotkovich, Krop Polnokadrovich, and now just Anonism.
        Of course, I could be wrong, but the style of presentation, the syllable, the way of presenting the material, and the color of the bile shout like “I AM ALPHASAMETS”. And even though I was so unrealistically cool and banned, I still stick my head through the closed door and spit on you all. :)))

    • Ivan

      He shouldn’t do anything to anyone (prove / justify / send a link / somehow call himself in someone’s head / follow someone’s moronic advice, etc., etc.).

      I will draw an analogy to your actions: you went to a forum of motorists, in a discussion, for example, of car engines and began to rebuke them that they only do that digging under the hood and do not drive cars. Is it smart?

    • Do_Oraemon

      Feed the Troll Flamers? It’s ridiculous.

  • For a moment flashed over the crowd

    I am a beginner. I asked Gugu Lynx for a link to his photo. Then I got a refusal in the intricate Old Slavonic style. Wow, here he is definitely a master! How do I feel about him? The answer is obvious ... .. Lynx, Yarkiy, Gene JB Do_Oraemon, Dmitry K, AM really tired of his mentoring. Arrogance raised to the pinnacle of common sense. For Arkady I stand like a mountain - a man plows and we all see his photo. As for Anonymous, you must agree, comrades, he is largely right. He just presented his thoughts very harshly. Well, apparently, it hurts .... And his photo is of the highest class! Has the right to scratch us, doesn't it?

    • Yarkiya

      Listen to Trekhsotkovich, you’re already 26 years old, but you’re acting like a shkolota pimping. If you are constantly banned, no matter how you name yourself, then the donkey would already understand that something is wrong with YOU, and not with others. Tired of chesslovo!

      • Lynx

        pff .. I knew one guy, so at 32 he was a shkolota-shkolota. True, a year later he was no one and nothing, alas. So shkolota is a state of mind, not age.

    • Yarkiya

      You're just complete inadequate. See for yourself, your words:
      "For Arkady I stand like a mountain - a man plows",
      "In places specially designated for photoonanism - so-called photo forums like Radozhiva"
      "The mustache who gathered here belong to the photoanonists, and the chief among them is Arkady"
      "And will be announcing for different vehicles here together with Arkady"
      “Arkady's instant reaction :) I quickly cleaned everything up so that the fans of the photoanonists would not run away. "
      “But it’s always bitter and cruel. Yes, Arkady? "
      “I didn't want to write anything about you. So Arkady accidentally burst out "
      “I've already littered Arkady's site a lot. Therefore, I will not write and answer more here ”

      This is just one small comment thread. If you dig deeper than fiction will come despicable.

      • Arkady Shapoval

        Comrades, less flame!

      • Once again (last) for a second flashed over the crowd

        A lot of work has been done by Yarkiy.Of all of the above, my words are “For Arkady I stand like a mountain, a man plows.” Yarkiy, where is the photo-measure of skill? AM has already laid it out, it’s already like a man …… She regrets that I got involved in this baida. Good luck everyone.

    • Do_Oraemon

      Man, none of the people you have listed at least once called anyone a lamer or noob. Unlike you. So come on, bye.

        And let him look, Google for help. I participated in the competition. The rest of the photos are free in the internet about 1000 pieces. The main thing is to know how to search. And I do not like to show off and do not judge others for their statements. I shoot what I have and what I prefer. I write music and repair lenses, cameras, car electronics, unlike you who only see them from the outside. A little more design, I write websites and programs. But I don't like to show off. Lurk read if what….

        • Do_Oraemon

          Really. They arranged some kind of member: who is a man, who is not a man, who photographs, who masturbates, etc. What now, do not write in the comments at all? Anyway: the number of comments on the article directly affects the position in the search engines. So I support.

    • Dmitriy

      I looked at the pictures of Anonymous, made beautifully, but I did not like them (advertising photo and no more).
      Such people occasionally speak out on various photo sites, so there is nothing unusual about this.
      Thanks to Arkady for the reviews. You, today, are the only one who reveals the technical capabilities of photography equipment for amateurs, and we will take pictures ourselves, better / worse - that's who else.

  • Oleg

    I don’t understand one thing, that Arkady can’t find some girls / boys for the lens test? Well, how can you understand the norms of the lens or not looking at the pictures of flowers

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Simply and easily.

    • Lynx

      the site has about 4-5 hundred reviews of various photo items. Just try to imagine the volume of work, and how many people need to be distracted for this, especially considering that people also would like to get good photos, rather than testing the optical relative of the pyramids with unpredictable results.
      Not to mention the time-consuming - to shoot and look for people for review is an average working day, taking into account the arrangements, rearrangements in the schedule, travel before the meeting, and so on. Considering that the site is being made on a voluntary basis, alas, it is often an unaffordable luxury to make a portrait photoset for each lens. Especially considering that lenses are intended not only for portraits, and you can assess the quality of the image from natural shots, if you learn to look.

      • Oleg

        for free, I think, they will agree to an unpredictable result. not on homemade optics will be removed

        • Lynx

          you are naive.
          Again, count how many are needed.

  • fotika

    A fire was lit in here)))) I agree in many respects with today's speaker on the account of jerking off, and the fact that for their 5 kopecks at every opportunity they insert someone to crap (all the same faces). Most of all, the cAMMENTS on the account of purchases of goods on ebay “I’ll worry, and the rest” I counted a lot of such posts in 1 person and the funniest thing under the reviews of my lenses. so where are your purchases and pictures for these optics?

    ps reminded me of my classmates who regularly bragged about sex at (15-16) years old and after every weekend furiously with foam from the mouth proved that they had “it” and we are cool))) - this is me about shopping on ebay)))

    • Arkady Shapoval

      hahaha) you haven’t been brought here for a long time :) well noticed) even about mobile phones as a child everyone knew everything in the same way, and yuzali polls Nokii Fedorovna 3310 and Semyon 65th)

    • Yarkiya

      Well, there wasn’t enough to butt you yet. Who then stepped on your tail? I see my phrase is used. So what is eating you that I do not buy lenses from you? So I do not live not in Ukraine and not in Russia. To decide whether or not to buy this or that lens, I am capable of my own and do not have to report to you for my acquisitions. I also do not need to be measured by members who have a cooler bag or professional glass. As for Radozhiva, I think this site is wonderful and very necessary, after reading the reviews, I bought two lenses (you see, I justify myself) one used Nikon AF Nikkor 70-210mm 1: 4 on IBEE, and the other new Nikon 18- 55mm 1: 3.5-5.6GII VR II AF-S DX in the store. In general, where I live to buy photo goods in specialized stores, it means taking off my last pants, so it turns out that IBEY is the best option to purchase the equipment you want. So you have to buy on ibeya often, and if you use ibeya an unattainable dream or a fantastic future, then this is your problem.
      So I have reported to you for purchases, now you deign to show reasonably who and why I "crap".
      And remembering your past non-literary attempts, I suggest you go on an erotic journey, choose the direction yourself.

      • Do_Oraemon

        And how many lenses do you need? Yes, there is such a thing. But these are favorite glasses, to which the soul rests and for the purchase of which I had to pretty much fork out and shovel a bunch of forums and sites with samples and dozens of discussion pages, to at least know about the pitfalls and not run into another bullshit (there were all kinds of cases), and experience a certain amount of disappointment from the purchase.

  • fotika

    Honestly, I didn't want to torture the locals here, they react violently to my watering, and every time they try to prove that I don't understand a bit in technology…. maybe someone really pisses off the fact that Igor with whom you are personally acquainted, and I have access to a very large number of equipment. And we love it ... Igor shoots a lot, I gave up for 2 years (I started looking for new opportunities), but I returned to duty, and I will tell you in truth that I am shooting for everything that comes to hand, I didn’t break into a wedding take 35-70 or 80-200 mk2, and sometimes 70-210 f4 .. and good shots come out. I even have a photo of Igor running around Feofania with 300mm 2.8 and d4. we never shoot with the same optics. I once hooked trehsotkovich at the expense of open diaphragms, trash cans and petitions of 6 pages. and then I realized that there are clearly people living here who take little pictures, but mostly read a lot of shit and add their own, and treat the rest.

    as the anonymous wrote, shoot more, read less, try and train.
    the fool who admitted that he is a fool is no longer a fool.

    ps anonymous here is my mail fear135@yandex.ru write me your coordinates, I will send those beer by new mail! or discount for equipment muddied)))

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Yes, I’ve already gotten so many stories from Igor, a world man! Trekhsotkovich added to me on Skype and sometimes he writes something off about his new toys))

      The lynx was still banned for half a year, although it continued to check the records for errors, but now it does not swear and does not offend anyone, indicate the reason for the ban and Rei will punish the guilty.

  • Arkady Shapoval

    Ahahah) I have nothing to do) As for the Lynx, a person checks every divine record on Radozhiv and writes me whole canvases with corrections in spelling and punctuation in a personal note, because I'm still doing something wrong and don't notice my mistakes. In a word, Lynx is the honorary editor of Radozhiva, for which it has long been written on the page - https://radojuva.com.ua/about-radojuva/, there are others who just check spelling on Radozhiv. Also, a photo of the Lynx, as well as a bunch of interesting photos of his observations, can be seen in his LJ, the link, in fact, has been on the same page for a long time - https://radojuva.com.ua/about-radojuva/.
