Is Tamron 17-28mm BETTER Than Sony GM 16-35mm?! | $900 VS $2200 

100%

🤣🤣🤣

How was it? What did you shoot with more?

Only thing I noticed from my testing is the 17-28mm does flair pretty heavy in direct sunlight (with the lens hood on). It ended up being artistic for the shots, but it could get annoying. Not sure if the 16-35mm is any better though

tammy blows f4 out of the water

Thanks for sharing your experience! I love my 1635gm too! It's super solid! Loved it more than my 2470

Ralph Orencia u r so rich.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Are you getting this lens?!

Jason Vong yes sir! I need to start shooting wider!

I gotchu you guys!

@@JasonVong you da real MVP! Greets from México.

really? i have also the 16/35gm and the ronin SC!! if this is true i’m very happy!!!!! thanks!! sorry for my english!!

@@garrios1566 yes that's what DJI told me. Also Smallrig have one coming out on 7th October. Pre-orders are open

Yeah it seems like such a waste of time. :/

buy a 70-200 f4

Try not shoot wit HLG3 cause the camera only shoot with 100mbps so when you start to grade your footage you color falls apart.

@@jl.1301 Noted and Thanks! What profile would you suggest? Thanks again.

Try HLG2 instead. And watch this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rPE12Tsim4o.html

@@UltimateHockeyFanCave if I'm not wrong potato jet and Jason suggest using HLG2

@@jl.1301 Will give it a try, thanks!

Thanks for sharing your experience! Glad to know there are people out there putting that focus hold button to use!

Good question.

Absolutely. You can sell the GM!

Unless the 24GM isnt wide enough, I don’t think it’s too necessary to get the Tamron. I personally use the 25 Batis for RU-vid!

Jason Vong good point! thank you 👌🏾

@@JasonVong i have a7iii and tamron 28-75. now, i need wide-angle for indoor shooting video. 17-28 or 16-35 f4, or 25 batis?))

Enjoy it! It's fantastic!

It seems like a lot of people are jumping to the GM as the competition, but really I think the f4 is the true competition. Because yeah, the GM and the Tamron are both 2.8, but there's also like $1300 between them. There's compromises between the Tamron and the GM, but you do get more (if subtle) for your money. Between the f4 and the Tamron, though? Now that's a great win. For me, I'm *already* not willing to spend 2200 on the GM, so it's really like, well would I get the f4 Sony or the Tamron?

@@JustinDoesTriathlon depends. I am right now trying to buy a 16-35GM used. You can get it for like 1400€ which makes it quite attractive

Did you sell it ?😅 I am thinking about buying a used one (1400€) since right now I am just using a Loxia 21. it is a great lense, but the versatility of the GM is so much better... . However, I am still concerned about the weight. And due to corona I cannot see it in real life

I use a tamron 17-35 since 2013 and last month I finally got a 15-30 and at the widest end I love the extra field of view, but when there is room to walk backwards it's a tie between those 2.

I'd love to see that review/comparison too!

Weight!

I’m waiting for this review too. Actually, I’ve already seen one. The tamron is a bit sharper in the middle but the sigma kills it in the corners.

I rented one last year and compared with 17-28 and 24GM on a7R2 & a73. Comparable with the Tamron in sharpness and most other aspects. Bokeh tho isn't smooth, and I would rate the Sigma 5/10 with significant outlining, the Tamron 6/10 with onion rings, and the GM 9/10. Autofocus is also a tad slower than the Tamron.

Bell Le that’s good to know. However, no one really get a wide angle lens for bokeh do they? The other thing is, if you’re using the tamron for architecture and real estate is it really wide enough? That’s where I think the sigma might have the advantage

​@@matthoffman6962 17mm is definitely not wide enough for real estate. I would say go for the 14-24 or the Sony 12-24/4 if that's what you need. Otherwise, the Tamron do have front filters tho. I didn't have a chance to try out the Sigma rear filter during the rental (seems less convenient). Regarding bokeh - I regularly use the GM or the Tamron @ 28mm/2.8 for environmental portraits in addition to wide-angle landscapes. Thus bokeh quality is important to me, and also why I went back to this video about 16-35GM. The Tamron just isn't that great for this, while my other camera body is often occupied with 85mm and can't mount the GM. (The other option is to replace the 85mm with a standard F/2.8 zoom, but also some compromises to make) Admittedly, the Sigma is even less relevant.

shut up

I definitely felt that way when I shooting photos. Video not so much because I'm always on the widest on a Gimbal

@@JasonVong I guess that kind of confirms it then. As 90% of what I do is photo based. It is still very tempting given the price difference.
