Does anyone have a copy of popular photography from Feb. 1995? I am
considering picking up a Tamron 20-40/2.7-3.5 as a "normal zoom" for my
D30 and to use as a wide zoom for my eos-3, and there was a test of it
in this issue.
Anybody have any thoughts on this lens? It seems to perform quite well
based on online reviews and photodo. I am especially interested to know
at what focal length the barrel/pincushion distortion approaches zero.

I have the test report on the Tamron 20-40mm F2.7-3.5 lens.
It outperforms the Canon 17-35 F2.8L and the 20-35 F2.8L.
You can also check photodo.com.
My Comments: Excellent lens, very very sharp, solid build, but
AF is not USM speed. But then again I know few who require
a fast AF 20mm lens. The nice part to the Tamron 20-40
is that 40mm is a great people focal length.
