Tamron 35-100mm f/2.8: $899 and Lighter Than Expected

A constant f/2.8 zoom covering 35-100mm at $899 is the kind of lens that quietly solves a real problem — event and wedding shooters who've been carrying a 35mm and 85mm prime combo just found their excuse to consolidate. The weight being half what a comparable fast zoom typically runs means you'll actually want to keep it on the camera all night, not swap it out when your arms get tired.
