Tamron's optical design staff was given a single instruction from product planning: aim for the absolute ultimate in lens performance. What we decided on is the 35mm F/1.4.In a market packed with excellent lens offerings from various companies, Tamron has accepted the ambitious challenge of producing its greatest lens. This is yet another answer to the question of what constitutes the 'ultimate lens.' This is the kind of lens we wanted to create to mark the milestone 40th Anniversary of the SP series. We wanted to know what kind of lens would result if we focused Tamron's technologies purely on lens performance in pursuit of image quality. On the other hand, if we said there is no allure to pursuing the ultimate in lens performance disregarding the bounds of body size, we’d be lying. We believe that a lens can’t be something that the photographer hesitates to bring along.

No matter how well a lens performs, it’s useless if it’s not on hand when you want to shoot.

One of our answers to fulfill this ambition is the SP series of lenses that balances advanced optical performance with ergonomic, maneuverable bodies. Tamron has long pursued the development of the 'ultimate lens' based on the conviction that, 'We want to deliver a perfect image to people who love photos,' our creed for all Tamron lenses. Thanks to our valued customers who are lovers of photography, Tamron is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the release of the first five SP series lenses.
