Reviewers from pcmag have found the following***:
The Tamron 35mm f/2.8 Di III OSD M1:2 is a fine alternative to the Sony FE 35mm F1.8. The lens locks onto subjects as close as 5.9 inches from the image plane. There is some noise as the focusing element moves to lock focus, which is distracting if you're recording video.

Pros
  • Excellent image quality at f/2.8 and f/4.2
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Occasional noise when focusing
