Reasonable lens for a new Canon R8

[mmbrombe]

Greetings,

I am a happy new owner of a new Canon R8. I am coming from the Fuji system, still becoming acquainted with Canon’s operation and features. My favorite lens with the APSC system was Sigma’s wonderful 18-50 f2.8 zoom. I am looking for a reasonably priced alternative for Canon and came across the (EF mount) Tamron AF 28-75mm XR Di LD Aspherical IF lens.

I am wondering if anybody has used this lens with the EF-RF adapter on an R-series Canon camera and how this has worked out, I.e. autofocus, overall performance, etc.

I only shoot stills and this would be an “everyday” walk around lens when I’d rather not swap my 35mm and 50mm primes.

Thanks!

Marcelo

I have the R8 with the RF 24-50 F4.5-6.3 Kit lens, RF 50 F1.8, RF 100-400 F5.6-8, RF 15-35 F4.5-6.3. But my favorite and go to is the RF 24-240 F4-6.3. 4 budget lenses to cover my ranges and an affordable nifty fifty. If I'm going to get an L series lens, it would be the RF 70-200 F4 or 2.8. More likely the F4 since the $1K is a big factor for me more than the F2.8 is. There are a ton of youtube vids covering all these lenses.
