Wide angle, unique moments
“When we were in Rome for three days, we only took one lens with
us: the Tamron 10-24mm F/3.5-4.5 Di II VC HLD. The focal length
range of this ultra-wide-angle zoom impressed us from the beginning.
Converted to 35mm format, that becomes about 16 to 37mm - ideal
to get great shots of the Italian capital's architectural highlights. The
wide angle meant we could get an unbelievable amount in the picture
at close range. In architectural shots particularly, lots of different
perspectives look amazing. Something that especially fascinated us was
the enormous depth effect. We could get up to 24 centimetres from
the subject and still pick out lots of detail from the background. The
photos seem almost three-dimensional, like you could walk into them.
The lens's resolution performance and detail reproduction was a
pleasant surprise for us. It's incredible how sharp the pictures are.
This is where the autofocus and especially the image stabilisation
come into their own, preventing any image shake. We photographed a
restaurant entrance in an alleyway with 1/4 exposure free hand – and
the shot is as sharp as a tack. And while It didn’t rain in Rome, the
weatherproof casing still made us feel much safer in the dusty streets.”
