Silkypix Developer Studio Pro 8 Review

Tamron's Ultrasonic Silent Drive autofocus motor is a game-changer for photographers who value precision and speed. This innovative technology enables full-time manual focus, allowing you to seamlessly switch between autofocus and manual modes without having to shift into dedicated MF mode. For enthusiasts of shallow depth-of-field images, the rounded nine-blade diaphragm is sure to impress.

The lens design consists of 13 elements in nine groups, including one low dispersion element and one extra low dispersion element. These advanced optical features work together to reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing, resulting in improved sharpness and resolution. In my testing, I used the Canon EF version ($749) on an APS-C camera like the Canon 80D DSLR. With an equivalent field-of-view of 136mm, this lens is perfect for outdoor portraits but may be a bit tight when shooting in small spaces.

The Tamron SP 85mm f/1.8 Di VC USD lens is available for Canon, Nikon, and Sony mounts, making it compatible with APS-C format and full-frame SLR cameras. As part of Tamron's Di family, this lens is designed to provide excellent performance across various camera systems.

As someone who has written extensively on portrait photography, I can attest that the 85mm focal length is a personal favorite.
