I just needed to get out this morning. I have been wanting to give my new Tamron Z35-100mm lens a try, so I got up, took the boys to school and walked straight down the beach. Weather was lovely and sunny, the tide was in (quite a low, high tide today) and I had my earphones on playing Madonna’s new album! What a wonderful way to start the day.
Of course, I had to do a few long exposures too (all EXIF data and more can be found in the full resolution images), plus just try the lens out at different focal lengths and apertures. All images were edited in Darktable 5.6.0.
I used my Nikon Z6ii and for the long exposures I used my PigIron 10-Stop filter.
Damn! The lens is sharp, just as the reviewers before me have said. It has a really nice look to the images and I am super-impressed by its rendering and sharpness. I used my dtStyles “Natural Portraits” on the sea shots, and “Vivid Punch” on the greenery etc.
I think I will like this lens! On Tuesday I am off to do some street photography with it, and I will put it on my Nikon ZF for that one. Let me know what you think!

I had a look at your new images from the Tamron 35-150, and I can definitely see a difference compared to your earlier posts. It’s difficult to say exactly what’s responsible for it, as the older images were shared at a much lower resolution, so there are simply fewer details to judge.
Whatever the reason, the higher-resolution uploads really show what the lens and camera are capable of. Fine detail, texture and overall rendering come across much better, and for me that adds a lot to the viewing experience. It’s a good reminder that image size can make almost as much difference as the gear itself when you’re trying to appreciate image quality.

Thanks Marc, I’m just hoping others vire those images, so far I think you’ve been the only one to visit the site for any I’ve put up, and that’s with hundreds of views on the main post 🤞🤞🤞
The lens is definitely as good as my other Nikkor/Tamron lenses when it comes to resolution/clarity, and it’s right through the frame which is lovely.
I just find it hard to get used to a zoom mentality. But that’s just a me thing.
