Unfortunately, I was never impressed with the Tamron lenses and they used to vignette like crazy on my 5D. I'm talking the image would be a circle.
I just picked up the new Zeiss 50mm F1.4 and am loving every second of it. I have a few lens tests up with models at the moment. I definitely recommend going for the Zeiss primes if you are ever deciding between upgrading to the L lenses or not.
That's mad about the vingnetting, I've never had a problem with the Tamron lenses. Thanks for the advice, I love your photos, just followed!
Thank you :-) Yea it was insane. The last time I saw it I borrowed my 5D to another photographer and she was using one of her lenses. It was a circular photo. Great if you are doing art photography... not so good if you are working for a client.
Like you I started out with zooms. a 28-70 2.8L and a 70-200 2.8L. Those babies paid themselves off many times over through out the years. The standard zoom busted the morning after a wedding last year. I was sad to see the old lady go.
