Blue Jumper

You can focus very close with the Tamron 35mm f/1.8 lens, and it has image stabilisation as well. The clarity is generally good. But it is a biggish lens in comparison to old 35mm Nikkor lenses and heavier to carry. If it was the only lens you carried you'd scarcely care, but as part of a collection in a gadget bag you might examine how much you used this lens in comparison to others.

Footnote: Having looked afresh at other photographs I have made using this lens, I think it deserves to be employed much more often. If you would also like to see those pictures, they are in my album - listed at the top of "See also..." to the right-hand side of this page.
