From DxOMark conclusion :

At 540g, the Tamron SP 45mm f/1.8 is on the heavy side, too, tipping the scales at almost twice the weight of the 280g Nikon 50mm f/1.4G. The Tamron SP 45mm f/1.8 is the first standard focal length prime to offer image stabilization, though, which could be a useful feature for many full frame shooters (and which goes some way towards explaining the additional weight). What’s more, with outstanding optical performance, and sharpness results that overall are ahead of the own-brand competition on the Nikon D800E, you get an awful lot of lens for your money.

The Tamron SP 45 mm f/1.8 Di VC USD is the World’s first full-frame standard prime with Vibration Compensation technology. Its optical formula comprises 10 elements arranged in 8 groups including two moulded glass aspherical elements and a low-dispersion element; plus an iris diaphragm with nine rounded aperture blades.
