This will be a quick overview and summary for Tamron wide angle lens.
If you’ve read my Tamron 11-18mm and Tamron 10-24mm review, you know how I dislike Tamron wide angle lens.
I’ve recommended some alternatives to those 2 lenses, but many of you who are on a budget have asked me on what 3rd party lens to get.
I’ve got a happy news for you.
I’ve been busy writing for my second site, Tokina Lens Review and I found 2 VERY EXCELLENT wide angle lens that I would highly recommend.
Here they are:
Alternatives to Tamron Wide Angle Lens
If you’re using a cropped sensor DSLR, get the Tokina 11-16mm lens. See the picture below.
If you’re using a cropped sensor DSLR and are or planning to upgrade to a full frame camera in the future, get the Tokina 16-28mm lens instead. See the picture below.
I’ve tested both lenses and both showed excellent results.
However, there’s only one catch with those 2 lenses: It’s very hard to get nowadays due to their popularity.
Where to Read More on Tamron Wide Angle Lens Alternatives?
My advise to you is to go to the review page of Tokina 11-16mm or Tokina 16-28mm and see if the recommended store on the “Where to Buy” section still has them (last time I check, some are still available).
Hope this helps and happy shooting! Good luck with finding a suitable Tamron wide angle lens!
Cheers,
Luke

It's extremely fast and easy. Here's how - Start your online shopping by clicking any of these links: Amazon, B&H Photo Video or Adorama. Those are the sites that I personally use to buy almost everything for years. They are proven to be safe, secure and credible.
How will this help me? When you buy your lenses or anything else from them, I got a tiny fraction of the sales which I will use for paying the maintenance cost of this site. They will also lend me more lenses to review if I hit a certain sales target. The price you pay for any item from those sites is always the same whether you use the above links or not. The only difference when you use the links is that you help me keep this site fresh, alive and FREE for you and for all readers. So, it's a win-win situation for all of us. You, me, everyone.
Please note that I always put you, my readers, as a first priority. Although I sometimes those vendors lend me lenses to review, I am always unbiased in my review. "I will be brutally honest with every review. Don't expect me to always write good stuff about the lens." That's what I told my vendors. And thankfully, they're fine with it.
Finally, you're not planning to shop, but have some extra cash to give out, consider making a small, $5 donation by clicking the "Donate" button below. This can also help paying off the maintenance cost of this site.
I hope to keep serving and helping you with your photography needs.
Many thanks for your support and thank you for reading!
