Hi Joe That's an interesting test, I've noticed very slight PF with the Tamron in high contrast situations, nothing too bad and easy to correct in PS. The sharpness of my sample seems better than the one on test. There's very little vignetting and distortion with the Tamron and it goes full frame 36x24mm so I can use it with film if needed. The Tamron's a keeper for me right now as a travel lens, I just need something light and inexpensive for the wide end, I'm going to try the DA 18-55 MkII shortly.
