Q: 4. Sorry for the unrelated question, but should I get an ND filter or a polarizer for this lens? I am mostly into filmmaking but occasionally take photos. Thanks!

A: An ND filter acts like sunglasses for the camera. It allows you to use a wider aperture in bright light. Many times ND is used in film making if you want to use a wide 1.8 aperture during the day. Since you need to keep the shutter speed constant in filmmaking you need the ND filter to balance out the exposure during the day and keep the aperture at 1.8. ND filter will also allow you to slow down the shutter speed to take photos and show movement of water hitting rocks in a coast line or clouds moving overhead. A polarizer is used to reduce reflections from water, glass, metal, leaves, grass.

Q: 5. Has anyone sent this to Tamron to calibrate/improve autofocus performance? What was the result?

A: No I havent bit I did buy the TAP in console and am very happy with the autofocus accuracy not that the lens is calibrated to my camera. Im using a Nikon D810 and have both the 35mm and the 85mm lenses and both are working great. Sharpness is outstanding with the 85mm and the 35mm isnt quite as sharp but still very good. The autofocus speed is good but not great but Im not doung any action sports photography either.
