The Tamron SP AF10-24mm f/3.5 -4.5 Di II is an ultra wide-angle zoom lens. Di II means that is designed for exclusive use on digital SLR cameras with smaller-size imagers (APS-C/DX). Boasting a focal length range of 10 - 24mm, (the 35mm equivalent of 16mm to 37mm) this lens has a varied range of applications for creating dramatic images as it features both ultra-wide and semi-wide angle settings.
The close focusing capability of this lens enables image capture with an exaggerated perspective at the 10mm ultra wide-angle end or with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:5 at the 24mm semi-wide-angle. It has Micro Motor to ensure precise and smooth auto focusing.
Note! Tamron SP AF10-24mm f/3.5 -4.5 Di II is not designed for conventional cameras or digital cameras with image sensors larger than 24mm x 16mm
- Captures Ideal Range of Focal Lengths With D-SLRs
- Since the size of 35mm film format is larger than the image sensor generally used in D-SLRs, a digital camera captures a narrower angle of view than a 35mm film camera even at the same focal length settings. This lens, made exclusively for digital SLR cameras, provides ideal focal lengths to cover the range desired by DSLR shooters.
- Fits Smaller-Size Imagers
- This lens is designed so the size of the lens' image circle matches that of smaller-size image sensors. In the compact design, it is almost comparable to a lens offering the same angles of view in 35mm film format. 1
- Aspherical Lens Elements
- The optical system within this zoom lens uses three large-aperture glass-molded aspherical lenses, as well as three hybrid aspherical lenses, which minimize spherical aberrations, coma, and distortion.
- Minimum Focusing Distance Across Zoom Range
- The close focusing capability of this lens enables the capturing images with an exaggerated perspective at the 10mm ultra wide-angle end or shoot with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:5 at the 24mm semi-wide-angle setting with the freedom to create close-ups at the minimum focusing distance of 0.24m throughout the zoom range.

I bought this wide-angle with the idea of using it for landscapes and architecture (more specifically, I plan to mount it on the camera that I'm having converted to infrared). Maybe I'll also use it to shoot crowd scenes at events. So far, in the two days of snapshooting that I've done with it (on the Sony a77), it's been everything that I wanted it to be: the focus is fast, the images are crisp, and the wide-angle perspective is an epiphany. This is the lens I've always wanted--without knowing about it. I only gave it four stars 'cos I'm sure there are other, greater lenses in the B&H catalog that I haven't come across yet.

Wide but soft
I use the lens for landscape and it seems not as sharp as I would like. My 18-250 seems sharper at the same focal length.

Comments about Tamron SP AF 10-24mm f / 3.5-4.5 DI II Zoom Lens For Sony DSLR Cameras:
I bought this lens in preparation for a trip abroad where I expect to shoot many landscapes and much architecture. This lens is remarkably wide for a digital camera and lacks any of the distortion of a true fisheye. The walls of buildings appear straight, not slanting as they will with less wide-angle lenses. This lens is perfect for my needs. I have been trying it out around the neighborhood with good results. The photos are sharp throughout the zoom range. In addition, the lens is not excessively heavy. I am quite pleased with it.

Comments about Tamron SP AF 10-24mm f / 3.5-4.5 DI II Zoom Lens For Sony DSLR Cameras:
I do a lot of realty photos...and need a good wide lens....with decent speed too...even though I do shoot with auxilliary flash..and wanted a wide lens for my new Sony SLT A33...
Some so called experts rated this lens poor for soft pictures..but just going to f8 or so gives a great boost to picture sharpness...overall very pleased with color and usefullness...great wide range from 10 to 24mm...which most other wide lens cannot match...for price and performance...some said lens is heavy---it is NOT heavy----my Tokina 12-24 f4...is heavy---(Nikon)

Comments about Tamron SP AF 10-24mm f / 3.5-4.5 DI II Zoom Lens For Sony DSLR Cameras:
It is very useful to get all familymembers in one photo in natural way, they do not need to gather close each other.
It does not need so much light.
Perhaps there are lenses that are smaller and not so heavy, but I think it is very robust.

Comments about Tamron SP AF 10-24mm f / 3.5-4.5 DI II Zoom Lens For Sony DSLR Cameras:
For documenting gallery installations in sometimes tight quarters, this lens is amazing. I find myself gravitating towards the widest end on this ultra-wide, so the extra 1-2mm over the other lens options is wonderful.
35mm lens on 35mm camera is what I first learned on, so having 36mm equivalent on the long end makes this a perfect lens in my mind. Yes, you won't be getting the shallow depth of field of a longer focal length prime, but that's usually not what one is going for with an ultra wide, anyway.
Using this lens with live-view on an Alpha 55 takes away the disorienting feeling of the ultra-wide edge distortion when using an optical viewfinder. I'm not sure exactly why this is, but I suspect it has to do with the image not filling up my full field of view, as the viewfinder does (e.g. my brain is able to integrate movement in actual space around the camera LCD).

Comments about Tamron SP AF 10-24mm f / 3.5-4.5 DI II Zoom Lens For Sony DSLR Cameras:
I own a bed and breakfast and I purchased this lense to photograph my guest rooms. When I hired a professional photographer, the lense that he used really warped the photos and I was dissatisfied with the result. This lense does a great job of capturing a wide range of a large room with minimal distortion. If I had to say one thing that isn't great about it I would say that the zoom action isn't smooth.

Comments about Tamron SP AF 10-24mm f / 3.5-4.5 DI II Zoom Lens For Sony DSLR Cameras:
I have read all the reviews available on this lens. Some said the lens was excellent and some said there were problems. After using the lens both indoors and out, I definately fall in with the excellent reviews. Sharp images with excellent color rendition. Easy to handle, it is only a little bigger than my Tamron 17-50. Some complain about the large lens hood, but what do you expect for a wide angle lens that goes from 10-24mm. They say they have trouble getting the lens in their bag. Well for heavens sake take off the lens hood an put in another part of your bag.I was able to use a standard 77mm filter with no vignetting. All in all I am very pleased I bought the lens. It fills a gap in my lens lineup.

Comments about Tamron SP AF 10-24mm f / 3.5-4.5 DI II Zoom Lens For Sony DSLR Cameras:
I have a Sony A200 DSLR and use the camera to photograph model portfolio's.
This Tamron lens fit my camera perfectly which was a concern of mine. The lens is large enough it doesn't take much light to get clear images. I have shot alot of natural light shots with this lens and the images were crystal clear.
I am perfectly happy with the lens and felt the price was very inexpensive compared to the same Sony lens.

Comments about Tamron SP AF 10-24mm f / 3.5-4.5 DI II Zoom Lens For Sony DSLR Cameras:
I've been wanting an ultrawide for quite a while, and finally persuaded Santa to bring me this lens for Christmas. After a short period of use, I've found it to be sharp enough for my purposes, although there are others better. Wide open, it's pretty soft, but stopped down to about F/6.3 or lower it really does a good job. The build quality I'd rate as 'excellent', It's really a blast to use it for just about any sort of shot. I recommend it without reservation.
