The Tamron 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 lens is a poor quality lens with weak autofocus and low image quality. The build quality is not up to modern standards, with visible electronics when zooming, and a gaudy zoom ring. It lacks a focus clutch mechanism and has a slow autofocus motor. The image quality is poor, with low contrast and visible fringing. The corner image quality is incredibly weak at wider apertures and different focal lengths. Distortion is visible, and the minimum focus distance is limiting. The lens is not suitable for close-up shots and has ugly bokeh. Overall, it is not worth the purchase. Even though it is cheap, the quality does not match up to modern standards.
