Want some attention in this DSLR lens-filled world? Introducing a record-setting lens has been a popular business strategy lately and Tamron is once again putting their name in the record books with the Tamron 45mm f/1.8 Di VC USD Lens.

The open aperture is set to F/1.8 with optimized critical properties at a higher level: superb optical performance coupled with a VC system, a shorter MOD, and a well-balanced form factor.

Tamron SP 45mm f/1.8 Di VC USD
If you've always wanted your 50mm prime lens to be just a little bit wider, Tamron has you covered. Its SP 45mm f/1.8 Di VC USD ($599) has a focal length that almost matches the true normal diagonal of a full-frame camera sensor (43mm).
Pros:
- Very sharp
- Minimal distortion
- Wide maximum aperture
- Optically stabilized
- Good close focus capability
- Weather-sealed design
- Available for Canon, Nikon, and Sony SLRs
Cons:
- Shows color fringing
- Edge performance isn't as strong as center
- Heavy for its size

Great IQ, great build quality, not without flaws
I'm really enjoying Tamron's entry into the 50-ish prime market. 50mm is my most used prime focal length, but I'm used to Sigma's implementation which seems to have a slightly wider field of view than Canon's 50s, so the 45mm length of the Tamron feels very natural to me.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Rugged
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Slow Focus

Tamron SP 45mm f/1.8 Di VC USD review
A new era begins for Tamron as the company famous for its zooms moves into the premium fixed-focal-length lens market. Damien Demolder tests the first, a 45mm fast standard.

Tamron SP 45mm f/1.8 Di VC USD review
So why do we use 50mm as a standard? Well, it doesn't really matter, but the maths does explain why Tamron is touting this unusual focal length as a standard for full-frame users. The company isn't the first, either, as Pentax offers a rather nice 43mm f/1.9, and has done for some time.
