@mbvglider Год назад

@@RyanREAX IMO, the 20-40mm makes sense as a secondary lens, whereas 28-75mm is more of a primary lens that can be an only lens. It combines well with my 50, 65, 85mm primes, or with my 35-150mm, because it’s tiny in the bag and doesn’t overlap too much, and because of that, I’m actually more likely to use it, whereas my 28-70mm didn’t get used much because most of my favorite lenses are normal to short telephoto and 28-70mm is too similar.

Such a great and comprehensive review. I was looking to get this lens and it’s great to understand it’s compromises before purchase

Another great review, Gerald! I'm mainly a 15/21/35/40mm street, lifestyle and travel hobbyist shooter here, usually pairing the 40 with either of the wides so I got pretty excited when I saw the lens announced. My main use for the lens will be for travelling, just avoiding the hassle of changing between lenses on the go all the time and exposing the sensor to dust, besides being a lighter and smaller lens. Great to know better its strengths and weaknesses in depth, and YES, an f2 and not too larger version of it would be certainly fantastic! And congrats for the baby :)

Just got my first camera, the sony a7s iii. To go with it I picked up the Sony 20mm 1.8 G. The focus breathing was so bad I almost swapped the camera for the A7iv. The guys a NCE said it was the lens, not the camera. They sold me this Tamron 20-40 and what a difference. I'm shocked on how bad the breathing was on the G lens.

As a "webcam lens" I can recommend the 28mm f2, it gives a nice amount of separation and it's not too close or too wide as well. Has worked well for me.

@DmitriFilms Год назад

About to start vlogging. Got my eyes on this lens as my Tamron 28-75mm is too tight even with an outstretched arm. Love that this lens can go wide for walk and talk, and if I want to zoom in to show something, I can zoom to 40mm, APS-C and if necessary Clear image zoom on top, essentially turning it into a 90mm lens. Looking forward to nabbing one.

@andywakeman9806 Год назад

If it was a 20-50 2.8 even if it was a bit bigger it would be perfect. I’ve always thought the 70 end of a 24-70 is kinda pointless but I could use a bit more at the wide end.

@someoneelse242 Год назад

20-60 for me. Rumor is tamrons older 24-70 is a touch wider than advertised. And im using a speed boosted panasonic 4/3rds to get a 1.4x on a tamron 17-50mm 2.8 to get something similar. Or 1.3x canon with the same lens as a 22-68mm.

@baqcasanke Год назад

Haha i shoot at the 70mm end of my 28-70 all the time. I always feel like the 28 end is useless. My perfect length is 75mm. But the tamron 35-150 is on my next buy list!!

Interesting to see a modern lens with such painterly bokeh character (in part due to the slightly bright rings around the bokeh at f/2.8). I thought that feature to be lost with vintage glass.

@DannysHauntedJourney Год назад

My two lenses are the Sony 20mm FE lens, and the Tamron 28-75 G ii lens. They're an excellent duo, but I sometimes wish the Tamron was wider, on the wide end, and had a faster f/stop than 2.8. Still, these days, I get more versatility with my 20mm, since I can use the crop mode on my A7C to get a tighter focal length.

@NathanHoang Год назад

This is a great combo 🙌

@tupac1971ful 5 месяцев назад

How do you find your Tamron lens? Currently I also have the Tamron 28-75 but I find it a big lens for my a7c. I was thinking of switching it for a Tamron 20-40 and pairing it with a Sony 85 1.8. That would be my 2 lens combo

@DannysHauntedJourney 3 месяца назад

@@tupac1971fulhonestly, for portraits, the Tamron 28-75 is excellent. This was also my desired use for it. That said, if it was 24-75, that would have been a more versatile range.

@frankfeng2701 Год назад

At this price point this is not meant to replace prime lenses (except for the overpriced f/2.8 or f/2.5 primes), but it serves as the perfect kit lens for compact FF cameras like A7c and even FX3 if power zoom is not needed.

@MichaelBouhnikProductions Год назад

Hi Gerald great work as usual, I'm an R6 shooter, i been wanting to switch to the FX3 only for the dynamic range, but what kept me from doing it is the convenience of the drop in vnd.

@jongao Год назад

Thanks Gerald! Great review like always! At around 11:46, while the Sony does look sharper (and less fringing) to my eye as well, the Tamron somehow produces more detail among the thinnest four horizontal lines across the frame. So I can differentiate the different lines with the Tamron, but the Sony mushes them together. Are you seeing what I am seeing here?

Yep, I can see that too. 👍

@HappeningPhotos Месяц назад

Thanks for the nicely-organized review. I like the low-key presentation. This looks like a great lens for event work, especially use on reception dance floors with flash. It'll replace my 17-28 as a complement to my 35-150 for event work. I'm a little surprised you found sharpness only average, as LensTip and Dustin Abbott are more enthusiastic. Regardless, for event work it's probably more than sharp enough. I'll have to test it against my 28-60 to see which makes a better compact walkabout lens for high-rez scenic stuff.

Hey Gerald, may I know if you were using auto iso during your webcam test for the a7iv?

I fell in love with Tamron’s glass recently! I’ve spent a couple of years trying to find decent lenses for my BMPCC4K with an EF speedbooster - I was looking for something that’s wide on 4/3, yet fast, with good optics, yet relatively affordable. I’ve been down retro FF and s16 route, used EF-S glass I’ve tried all sorts of other things and nothing quite clicked, until… I came across the older Tamron SP 17-50mm f/2.8 APC-S lens (the non-VC, of course) and boy was I happy with it! It turned out to be great in everything, especially in CA and flare/glare control. The only things lacking are distortions at 17 and 50mms and shallow DoF. I’m now looking at modern Tamron glass for my photography with Sony a7)

@visceraljourney Год назад

I would really love to see 16-35 F2 someday..

@Thunderbird1337 Год назад

Well, personally I couldn't do much with a 20-40mm on full-frame. 20 is not really wide enough for landscapes (ok but not great), 40mm not really long enough for portraits. For a vlogger/ RU-vidr this might be a good range. But for everything else.... don't know, quite boring focal length range in my opinion. It can do everything but it isn't really optimal for most things ("nichts Halbes und nichts Ganzes", as we say in Germany). I would rather use a proper wide angle zoom lens (e. g. Sigma 16-28 2.8) and a proper portrait lens.

@dinoschachten Год назад

In the sharpness comparison it looks to me that the Tamron has some rather ugly mushiness/ghosting where light areas bleed into darker ones (which should go away when stopping down), but the separation of lines is clearly superior on the Tamron, assuming this was recorded using the same sensor.

@paulthiebaut 2 месяца назад

Awesome review really ! I'm hesitant between the Tamron 20-40mm and the 17-28mm. Does anyone know which lens performs best overall ( I know the 20-40mm is newer) ?

@vonwolfersdorff Год назад

Nice review Gerald! Will not buy this lens but the way you review made me watch the whole video. My go-to lens for run and gun vlogging is the 16-35 PZ G lens which you also reviewed.

I want it for my r5. If Canon doesn't get their stuff together I'll be getting an fx3 for my lightweight documentary rig.

@sdddlt 7 месяцев назад

This is the best review of this lens for my use case, because you are comparing it to one of the Sony primes (20mm/f1.8). In most reviews sharpness and other optical qualities are ranked quite high for this lens, but everything is relative. I bought this lens for documentary/event photography as a solution to combine my two-prime-lens setup (Sony 24/2.8 and 35/1.8) into a single lens. While the Tamron is probably the best option in terms of weight, size and prize, the overall image qualitiy and especially the sharpness does not quite match the prime lenses. It still is good enough though, knowing that the other option is a lot pricier and larger (16-35GM2).

@firpofutbol Год назад

When you compare the 20mm Sony to this lens, the difference is negligible IMO. Yes the Sony can give you more shallow depth of field but that's about it. In terms of sharpness and color reproduction, the gap is small. The Tamron does give you zoom range that the prime does not though, so it just depends what your needs are. Cant go wrong either way.

@markofadljevic1975 Год назад

Is this lens needed if I already have the Tamron 11-20 f2.8 aps-c lens that I use on the ff Sony A7C? Talking about video work only!!

@jer3006 Год назад

Not a pro, but just another response for you... I use the Tamron 11-20mm on my a7iv and like it but have been wanting to meet the occasional need for wide instead of ultra-wide. AND using the FF I paid for in the a7iv. I have no other Sony E lens- my longer lens is on my Nikon D7500. So my thinking is the price of the T20-40mm is good for a step up on my a7iv and I placed the order today. My plan is to keep the T-20-40mm on the camera and switch to the wider T-11-20mm APS-C when needed. I'm sure there is a hole in my strategy somewhere... but I'm not a prime-lens kind of a guy. 😂🤣

@grumblekin Год назад

I use Sony's 35mm f/1.8 and 24-105mm f4 and have several other lenses but those 2 are the ones I keep going back to. The 35mm is a good walkaround lens and gives me dark shooting potential while the zoom covers a useful range, has OSS, and is MUCH lighter than any offering from Tamron or Sigma that might be competitive. I can't help but think that Tamron and Sigma could put OSS in a lens like this or make it f2 and still keep the weight down. In any case, it's an option and a pretty good one, too. It's good to see Sony alpha cameras getting lens evolution.

@enellive Год назад

Wondering how you setup your a7iv for webcam? I was using Sony's imaging edge webcam feature to get away from getting a capture card, but I believe Sony limits the output to 1024 x 576, so you aren't really getting 1080p output, much less 4k. Are you using anything to get better output resolution?

With the a7 IV and newer cameras, you don't need software. It's recognized as a webcam over USB and you set the quality in camera up to 1080p60. (Or 4K15, but that's lame)

@@geraldundone Ahh gotcha, I've been using an a5100 or a7iii, didn't realize newer models work right out of camera. Thanks for letting me know!

Hmm. Do I keep the 17-28 tamron or trade up for the 20-40 for a streaming/mild video lens now?

@Sqeedledee Год назад

Gona stay with my old 17--28, don't think I would upgrade my ultra wide until I get a lens that is 1.8 or faster.

A curious observation talking about his focal length being a dream for you when the Leica 10-25 for MFT is the same with a slightly large range actually, although I still suspect you had a bad copy of the lens because its behavior was odd to say the least. My buddy is considering this lens strongly for his work!

@geraldundone Год назад

Yeah, that Leica would also be in my ideal focal range. I don't think it's too curious as it's not like I complained about the focal range on that Leica lens. In fact, the reason why I reviewed it was because it's in my ideal zone. However, that Leica is also approximately 732.6x bigger than this Tamron lens and is even less shallow for depth of field. 😜

@@geraldundone for sure! I didn’t think you complained about the focal length but they are totally different use cases obviously. You gotta but really serious to bring that big old Leica with you to something.

@CharlieVN Год назад

Doubt the Leica can hold detail like the Tamron, I have that lens and the 20-40 Tamron is on the way!

@RhettThompsonFilm Год назад

@@CharlieVN really? I haven’t used many sharper lenses than the Leica but if you’ve got a higher res body then that doesn’t matter much. I mean Gerald even says this lens is just ok in the sharpness dept
