Tamron sounded as though it closed the door on primes, but the company's has clarified this isn't the case.
The language sounded as though it closed the door on primes, but Thiry and Tamron have clarified this isn’t the case.
At the time, Thiry said that Tamron’s strategy was to differentiate and offer zooms that did not exist elsewhere. That was“It would obviously be interesting to announce lenses like 24mm f/1.4, 35mm f/1.4, or even an 85mm f/1.2, these are lenses that make you dream. But today, from a commercial point of view, there are already a large number of players who offer this type of optics and we are rather trying to play the agility card. So we are focusing on our strengths with our zooms,” he said.
That language, especially when translated from French, sounds more like a firm closure than the company’s actual stance on the matter, it turns out.
In short, Thiry isn’t able to say that Tamron is done making primes because he isn’t privy to that information. For those hoping to see a revival of Tamron’s outstanding prime lenses from the DSLR era, there is still hope.
