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.

Tamron SP 45mm f/1.8 Di VC USD review
We have it in our heads that 50mm is the standard focal length for 35mm format, and it has been for years. The rule is that the length of the diagonal of the frame, of film or sensor, is the focal length with the ‘normal' angle of view, and that's what makes our standard focal length.

Tamron's new SP AF 45mm f/1.8 DI VC USD prime lens has few rivals, being slightly wider than a standard 50mm focal length, having a fast (f/1.8) maximum aperture and including weatherproof sealing and integrated stabilisation.

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

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.
