hi everyone I’m looking for a full frame Canon lens for Landscape , shots of family, holidays, band photography and maybe Astro but I’ve never tried that
reading threads on here and asking on here it looks like 35mm would be a good size to have would prefer a prime as the short zooms that have very good image quality are out of my budget
my maximum budget is the cost of the Tamron which is roughly £850 the Canon is roughly £400 will be looking at new , don’t want to spend more as it would not be my main lens and am retired now anyway so don’t have the spare money that I used to
am saving at the moment for the lens
I mostly shoot wildlife and macro but would like to have something wider for those odd occasions when a tele lens isn’t suitable
my main camera is the R5 but also have a 6D mk 2 but only use it as a second body
using the RF to EF adapter isn’t an issue as all my current lenses are EF anyway
the other lenses I have are 300 2.8 mk 2 , 70-200 F4 and 100 L macro
I would like to get a 35mm that’s at least as sharp as my current lenses as they are superb and have had them a long time the 70-200 since 2006 , for that reason I’m thinking that the Tamron would be the best option as apparently it’s a really sharp lens , the Canon is decent according to reviews but not quite as good , I think I would be disapointed with something that’s not as good as my current lenses
I just need a second opinion please that I’m making the right choice
