Sony 70-350mm Lens VS the Tamron 18-300mm Lens on the Sony a6700 camera. Photo and video testing. 

Can please elaborate why? Thx

I also have the Tamron 28-75 2.8 I use now on my A9 III for our jobs for portraits and weddings. both lens are very good.

Bro, what? 😅

Tampon? 😂😂😂🩸

Sir , which one do you recommend for the video?

For longer I will end up with the 200-600.

Is your 18-135 lens is compatible with sony a6700?

@@G_mus yes, it's a kit aps-c lens.

I used it a lot traveling as it ended up being the main Lens is uses on the A6700. I also shot a lot with the DJI Pocket 3. See the video on the motto cross that the Tamron 18-300 was used on for most all of it.

@@goactivemedia how is the stabilization on tamron? How is that VC (vibration compensation) faring against sony's oss??

I can confirm what the video says. The lens works as well very reliably with older bodies. E.g. it works just as fine with my a5100 as it does with my A6700. It doesn't like the A7RIII, however. I had the impression there was some blur that I didn't see on the crop bodies, maybe some compatibility issues with the image stabilisation. The lens is wide open a little bit soft at 300 mm, but that goes away if you stop down to f8. For portrait, it's fine wide open like that, but if you shoot a bird with all those details in the feathers, you'll want to stop down. All in all, I can highly recommend this lens and would love it so much if Tamron would offer a version II with improved bokeh and a little bit more sharpness wide open. I can not say how liberating it is to almost never have to switch lenses while you have good lighting conditions. It just covers it all. PS: I'd suggest the 135 - 200 mm range for getting crisp portraits while still having good bokeh.

@@maggnet4829 Thanks for the advice, this Tamron is a somewhat dark lens, it starts at f.3.5, its best advantage is obtained by using it during the day with good natural lighting. Using it in broad daylight you shoot at f11, for product photos also f11, with lighting and flash, so it would work quite well. I have the Sony 18-135 f.3.5-5.6 lens and I used it that way, on trips if an all-terrain lens is very convenient and relying on the ISO, I have the Sony A6600 camera. Obviously this Tamron lens covers a great focal length but in terms of image quality it should have some deficiencies, you can't ask that much, I agree that there should be an update to this lens, it would be much more attractive to purchase. What I need with detail and quality I achieve with my 24 mm f.1.8 Sony Zeiss lens, very sharp, I use it a lot for product photography, social, although I really use f.1.8 on few occasions due to the shallow depth of field, I end up going down to f.2.8 generally and in f11 product photo, f5 or f5.6 product video Have you taken photos of the full moon with this Tamron lens? what about the result? I show you some of my photos with the Sony 18-135 lens, there is not great sharpness but something can be done instagram.com/pqophoto/

The 18-300 is not a great lens for in door shooting as it has a high F stop of 6.3 when you zoom in so does not let in a lot of light. But for video its not to bad as for video your are shooting at a much lower shutter speed and that lets in more light. Anything outdoors in good light the Tamron is great for. I traveled around Portugal for a month shooting with it every day all outdoors daytime and it worked fantastic for the wide range of zoom it has. I was able to shoot anything I wanted and video as well. For wide stuff like real estate you can get the Sony 11mm 1.8 lens. This lets in a lot of light and is very good for that kind of photos. It is a 16.5mm equivalent focal length on a cropped camera. I had that with me on my trip as well and only used it one time as most everything we shot was outdoors and I used the Tamron. Also shoot two days of motocross with the Tamron 18-300 and it worked great on the a6700 I shot many hundreds of images and video and not one of them was out of focus on fast moving action outdoors. You can see a full video on this as well I made. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TuMOzrWXj8M.html

Assign one of the buttons to zoom function. It's in the Red shooting menu

The auto focus on the Tamron is fantastic on the a6700.

Doesn't the Sony start at f4.5?

This comment is just plain wrong. The Sony starts at 4.5.

I also used it on a month long trip shooting in Portugal and it worked fantastic. Even shot two days of motocross with it you see in another video. The focus and tracking it was was dead on for the fast action. Even using clear image zoom for more reach for some of the video it worked great.

I shot them side by side the Tamron was fantastic. I now use a Tamron 28-75 2.6 on my A9 II as my main lens we use on all out jobs and it is tack sharp as well. I have Sigma 50MM 1.2 on order i will be shooting with soon as well. Will use it on some jobs and fun shooting as well before making a video on it. We shoot full time for a living so have plenty of job to use it on.

@@edzonedigitalmedia Sounds exciting! Can't wait for the new videos!

@@stupidcanvas Got the Sigma 50mm 1.2 in today so far its a great lens will shoot a portrait session with it today. Seems more heavy than I was expecting more weight than the Tamron 28-75 2.8 I took off to put the 50 on. F 1.2 looks amazing for background blur and its sharp at 1.2.

@@goactivemedia F1.2 is crazy. Didnt think it would be that heavy

Think Tank camera holster.

I am back from a month long trip and used the Tamron every day it works fantastic very sharp and focus is super fast even shooting motor bikes racing we shot for both photos and video. Having the wide end is also a huge help as I can shoot more with just the one lens. I did a lot of testing vs the 70-350 and it did not focus as good as the Tamron at all. Yes it did work good but not as good as the Tamron. Many times it would hunt some or a lot and the Tamron never did on the same subjects. The Sony was brand new so I would hope it was working right as it did work but shooting them side by side you can see the Tamron did better.

@goactivemedia Cool.Im glad you're enjoying it! Just a FWIW, having the Sony 70-350mm these last couple days, taking many shots while walking our dogs on hikes, this lens paired with my a6600 has not hunted even once. Also, not let in so little light that it blurred swift moving ospreys, seagulls, ocean waves, deep woods, etc. I'm thinking your lens no doubt passed on by mfr to many reviewers MAY have not of been up to snuff by the time it got to you. However, I do get the beauty of the wide angle advantage. My experience with the Tamron super telly's has been not so great. Particularly ones with the twin tube extension. But we all have our unique experiences with these amazing and wonderful tools. Happy shooting, my friend!
