Samples

The following images were taken with the Tamron 70-180mm f2.8 VC G2 lens mounted on a 42MP Sony A7R II camera. The images are RAW files developed in Lightroom 13.0.1/CRAW 16. from RAW to Adobe Color profile with the built-in lens profile only compensating for CA and vignetting. So you will see distortions as they are without correction. Noise-reduction is set to 0, sharpening to 50/0.5/36/10, with no extra tone, color, or saturation adjustment. I only did the occasional exposure compensation in post-processing.

The individual exposure details are stated for each image. All of the images are available in their original high resolution format for analysis at my Tamron 70-180mm f2.8 VC G2 sample images at Flickr.
