Frequently asked questions
Does the Tamron SP 35mm f/1.4 Di USD have stabilization?
No. Stabilization has to come from the camera body if it has sensor-shift stabilization; otherwise use a faster shutter speed or a tripod.
What filter size does it use?
It uses a 72mm thread. If your other lenses use a different size, step-up rings let you share filters.
How close can it focus?
Minimum focus is 0.3 m. That is close enough to place a foreground subject against a wide background.
