I returned the lens back as the mediocre performance was not acceptable for the price range. In the future I would never buy a Tamron garbage lens again. I wonder how PZ rated it so high... If that Tamron was good, than all other lenses must be junk or I demand too much... I am happy that i returned it and I won't recommend Tamron to anyone. A few more things worth to mention about it, the flare is on a very high level, sharpness doesn't improve much when stopped down, and if you hate heavy vignetting -stay far away from it.
