Marketing strategy pure and simple. If there are fools like me willing to pay the price for the high end glass, they will continue selling them at the price.
If most folks refused to buy and their sales dropped, they would probably lower the price to regain the market share. Skip Douglas A few cameras and over 50 years behind them But when the selling price falls below the costs associated with getting the product on the shelf, they will quite probably discontinue the product. They could then promote it as a loss leader of course I'm a fool, I have paid the price, but there was not anything else that met my requirements. Besides, I will remember the joy of use and quality of build long after I forgot what I paid for "L" glass.
I'm just glad I'm at the stage in my life and interests that I don't need many lenses. Everybody is talking about how it costs so much to make an excellent bright lens, but Tamron did it with the 2. Those who own the 'L' will talk about it's infinite superiority, but put images from the two side by side and see who can tell the difference.
Just don't need it. Tamron is too d mned good for the money. Back before digital cameras it was a rare f2. However, since the number of people buying f2. If there were no competition then I would blame a greedy company, but they have competition so I at least give them some credit for trying to keep their prices in a certain zone so customers don't see too high of a price.

If you do a lot of headshots, 85mm is probably the better choice. You can capture beautiful, tight images from a reasonable distance, whereas headshots at 50mm can put you uncomfortably close.
On the other hand, if you gravitate toward full-body or even group shots, 50mm is ideal. The minimum focusing distance or focal length with it is approximately 2. And while wide-angles have their merits, so do 85mm lenses.
The sharpest aperture on any lens is generally about two or three stops from wide open. Whether you are planning to shoot photos at night or in low light conditions, you will need a lens with a fast aperture.
The sharpest aperture is when the overall image is at its sharpest. Deals on Gear. Buyer's guide. CR Rating System. Canon Rumors - Your best source for Canon rumors, leaks and gossip.

Camera brands such as Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Sony, Sigma, and Tamron understand this and have offered a rather wonderful selection of mm lenses from which to choose. Several professionals actually own more than one mm, as this lens has the potential of becoming the most used glass in your photographic arsenal. The benefits of the mm lens are as priceless as our love for it.
Here are some of the reasons why you want to have this lens in your bag. The focal range of the mm lens is greatly inspired by the human eye. As such, this lens allows brand new photographers to learn with more ease than some other types of lenses due to its lack of distortion. It is much easier to study composition when you can photograph similarly to how your eye sees naturally. Some wide angle lenses have a curve to the glass, which causes the subjects to warp when improperly photographed.
The 24mm aspect of this lens offers no ultra-wide angle distortion while still offering a rather wide capture, perfect for simply concentrating on the best arrangement of elements. There is equally little trouble with the rest of the focal range. The range passes through 50mm, a commonly used focal length for portraiture. The 70mm offers a very nice zoomed close-up. This lens is a great stepping stone to a variety of focal lengths, such as the mm lens.
