Upgraded: Search photos now with specific camera model

Last Updated on January-29-2010 Add Comments

We are very excited to inform you that you may now filter the sample photos accordingly by the camera model. It took us few hours of intensive development and testing before releasing it live.

It’s a pretty straight forward filtration mechanism that would help you to find photos you need better.

Generally, at this stage, this filtration feature would only return photos that have EXIF’s data containing the camera maker and model. Photos without EXIF data would be skipped.

Of course, during the initial launch, only recent Canon and Nikon camera models can be selected from the drop down list but we are working day and night trying to bring all models into the list. At the same time, we would need to migrate all items from the old mylensdb project into the database (Complete list) too.

We hope that we are now thriving in the correct direction bringing good to the masses!

Tamron AF70-200mm F/2.8 Di LD (IF) MacroWhile overall dimensions are confined to the absolute minimum, the new SP AF70-200mm F/2.8 zoom lens is packed with features that allow stress-free photography: a versatile MFD of just 37.4″ over the entire zoom range; best-in-class maximum macro magnification ratio of 1:3.1 at f=200mm; and an advantageous internal focusing (IF) system. The new tele-zoom lens covers a desirable focal length range of 70mm medium telephoto to 200mm telephoto when mounted on full-size format SLR cameras and a focal length range from 109mm to 310mm* ultra telephoto when mounted on a DSLR camera with an APS-C sized imager.

Tamron AF28-75mm F/2.8 XR Di LD Aspherical (IF)The most compact and lightest in the history of fast zoom lenses. Thanks to the revolutionary downsizing “XR” technology employed by Tamron in the development of high-power zoom lenses such as the 28-200mm and 28-300mm, the dramatic compactness that makes this lens the world’s smallest and lightest is achieved. Its compactness makes it look and feel like an ordinary standard zoom lens, yet the versatility that a fast constant maximum aperture offers will definitely reshape your photographic horizons.

Tamron SP AF 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di LD Lens Review by The-Digital-Picture.com

No lens is perfect, but the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di Lens delivers a lot for its price. The Tamron 28-75 would be a good general purpose zoom lens choice for 1.5x/1.6x FOVCF Digital SLR body owners unable to afford (or don’t want the size/weight of) the Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM Lens.

Tamron SP AF 17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di-II VC LD Aspherical (IF)

Last Updated on September-3-2010 Add Comments

Tamron SP AF17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di-II VC LD Aspherical (IF)Tamron’s SP AF17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di II VC LD Aspherical [IF] (Model B005) is a high speed f/2.8 wide-to-moderate-telephoto zoom lens designed exclusively for Canon and Nikon-mount digital SLR cameras with smaller sensors and now features Tamron’s proprietary tri-axial Vibration Compensation (VC) mechanism that minimizes the effects of handheld camera shake. The new SP 17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di II VC covers the very popular 17-50mm focal length range (equivalent to 26-78mm in the full-frame 35mm format) making it extremely versatile. Its wide aperture and outstanding performance provide practical advantages in low-light shooting and aesthetic image control, thereby enriching the user’s range of creative expression. The new lens delivers impressive sharpness and striking contrast over its entire focal-length and aperture range, and at its maximum aperture of f/2.8 it produces beautiful images enhanced by shallow depth of- field, and smooth, natural transitions in out-of-focus areas of the image (i.e. excellent bokeh.) The new lens is equipped with Tamron’s proprietary Vibration Compensation (VC) image stabilization mechanism, which controls the effects of camera shake in three planes. VC provides more opportunities for sharp hand-held photography (up to 4-stops) at the slow shutter speeds needed when shooting in low-light conditions (e.g. night or indoor scenes) dramatically enhancing the user’s level of photographic freedom.

Tamron AF28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di VC Lens Review by photographyreview..com

Photographers on a budget who want a do-it-all lens, or travel photographers who need to travel light will appreciate the Tamron 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di VC lens. You will have to sacrifice some sharpness, though. Personally, I would rather give up the 300mm reach and carry two sharper lenses. But if size or price are limitations, then it could very well be a good compromise. If you want a sharper lens with this zoom range and image stabilization, be prepared to pay about four times the Tamron’s $600 price tag.
