Great IQ review Dustin. I have both Tamron lenses the 17-28 and the 28-75 not as much for the very best iQ but their both good lightweight flexible options for mobile events or when i don't have a lot of time to react to my environment but still care about having a good overall quality outcome. I sold my 24-70GM and 12-24G after having them for at least a year and replaced them with the Tamron's and i'm happy for the most part. Nothing is perfect right lol. Thanks again Dustin have a great day

@DustinAbbottTWI 4 года назад

That's such an overlooked quality these days. Having reasonably sized and lightweight options means (to me) that those lenses are more likely to actually get used on a regular basis.

@Tarkinx 4 года назад

Michael Mystro Pierce why you was not happy with 12-24 G ? Just for price/weight performance ? Or the lack of use of 12-16 mm range ? I will be curious to know your opinion. I plan to start real estate photography and video and I’m struggling between buying the Tamron 17-28 or Sony 12-24 (I already own the Tamron 28-75). Thank you

@town3 4 года назад

@@Tarkinx It wasn't that i wasn't happy with it just I didn't use it enough to justify keeping it. I do real estate from time to time and landscape for fun and the only other thing i shoot that wide is Groups for weddings but i really don't need it to be that wide. The widest i need is a 14mm even for real estate. It's a great lens if you use it a lot. I didn't but the 17-28 fits me a bit better and it's cheaper with about the same IQ is the 12-24G f4 plus I like the extra stop of light on the 17-28 being that it's a f2.8

@joealfanophotography9568 4 года назад

Tarkinx 12-24 is too wide for RE. You will easily misrepresent the size of the property with anything less than 16mm. 16-35 Sony Zeiss f4 was what I used for two years. I’m now using the Tamron 17-28. The Tamron is producing better images than the Sony lens.

Thanks for the great review. Do you think the tamron 15-30 g2 is still the better choice for astro?

@DustinAbbottTWI 4 года назад

I went back and compared, and the G2 has slightly less coma. It also has a wider focal length, which can be useful for shooting astro. Not a huge difference.

@gorbunovvv 4 года назад

Nice video, thank you! Have you noticed the phenomenon when during the AF-S with closed aperture there's momentarily white blinking on LCD? Probably the aperture actuation and sensor gain aren't synchronized as well as on Sony lenses...

Hmmm, I'll have to look for it, as that hasn't stood out to me thus far.

@MrJAM-np7go 4 года назад

Tamron really made the stack of primes! I got mine and I am looking forward to use it on my vacation. I wonder how Tamron would make their F2.8/F4 telephoto zoom. So far, Tamron made a good compromise with the weight over focal length, but it would be hard for telephoto zooms.

@DustinAbbottTWI 4 года назад

They've done good work with both Sony lenses thus far

@zrzpro5998 4 года назад

NIce job Dustin! Which lens would you recommend for real estate video and photo jobs? thanks

@DustinAbbottTWI 4 года назад

The best real estate setup on Sony (IMO) is buying a Canon EF mount Laowa 12mm F2.8 Zero D and the Laowa MSC. This gives you a 17mm shift lens for Sony which is fantastic for real estate. I own and use that combo myself, and I reviewed it here: bit.ly/LaowaMSCda

@anka042 4 года назад

Hopefully they will release a 70-200 (or 75-2xx) as well. Seems like an easy recommendation for people wanting good value full frame zooms for Sony E-Mount.

@DustinAbbottTWI 4 года назад

I'm nearly 100% certain that this is their plan, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it start at 75mm. They've chosen zoom ratios that they feel like they can do really well, and so far it seems like a winning formula.

@KevinJamesVideo 4 года назад

Here's hoping they release it this year. It's hard to drop $2500 on the GM.

@Ava-wu4qp 4 года назад

I have a suspicion that Sony is not allowing third party manufacturers with their focus algorithms to make standard focal length zooms. Would be a clever though lame way to artificially inflate the sales of their own G-Master bread and butter lenses. That said, my money is on something around a 75-180 from Tamron.

@lomarvgc1580 4 года назад

If they normaly compromise the focal range in some was wouldn't it be 75 - 150

@RealRaynedance 4 года назад

I'd expect either a 70-210 or 75-210 since those are more "old-fashioned" focal lengths (that's what the older Nikon and Canon lenses were), but probably an f/4. Wouldn't be surprised to see a 70-200 f/2.8 alongside it though since they do make both focal lengths for DSLRs.

@foothills1008 2 года назад

Do we think they will make a G2 VXD version of this lens ?

@DustinAbbottTWI 2 года назад

I honestly don't know the answer to that. The 28-75mm was the first in the series, and probably the most popular. It was pretty soon to get a G2 version of that lens, so I don't know if they plan to redo the whole lineup

@Jeremybutton 4 года назад

nice review, i just recently bought the Laowa 15mm and was on the fence to if I should wait for this one. I think i still made the right choice as i use my lens for indoor video work. Not sure if the vignetting is so apparent while shooting video but i think having straighter lines is probably more important

@DustinAbbottTWI 4 года назад

Yes and no. The Tamron actually receives in camera correction for distortion when shooting video, which helps it

@Jeremybutton 4 года назад

Dustin Abbott so for property videos what’s better to go for do you think

@DustinAbbottTWI 4 года назад

I would probably choose this lens for video for the simple reason of the corrections.

@anoopchaudhary3961 4 года назад

Very nice comparison, but this comparison was done on a7r3 . Do we see any problem resolving 61mp with both the tamron lenses on a7r4? Thanks in advance

@westenbergerstephan5955 4 года назад

Very detailed review (as always)! However, I am stil struggling whether to puchase the Sony 16 - 35 f4 or the Tamron you've reviewed. I don't bother too much that the Sony does offer only f4. I will be mainly using either of the lenses for landscape photography where f 2.8 won't be necessary. (Though I love to shoot at night, I have a different prime lense for this pupose). On the other hand image stabilization, which the Sony offers isn't a killer criterium not choosing the Tamron......As a consequence, I'd love to get your expertise which lense you would prefer oder recommend. Many thanks for your feedback.

@DustinAbbottTWI 4 года назад

It isn't easy, for sure. The Tamron is the sharper lens of the two, but it isn't night and day. I do think the Tamron is better value, but the Sony has a few more features. I can't really make the decision for you; it's not an easy one at the best of times!

I'm not a professional tester but I went to the outside of my house and took pictures of the front wall that has texture. I had my A7III on a tripod. I'm a little disappointed by the results of the Sigma. The Tamron right now is looking quite a bit sharper than the Sigma on the corners. I tried a couple of focal lengths at f2.8, f4 and f5.6 and same thing on all. I wonder if I have a bad copy.. I tried the test a second time 30 minutes later and similar results.

There’s a little too much barrel distortion to be optimal for real estate photography in my opinion. You can zoom in a bit, though, and distortion most,y disappears

@catchlite5196 4 года назад

Dustin Abbott Thank you so much. I have a Samyang/Rokinon AF 14mm f/2.8 which distorts quite a lot. I concluded this was because of the ultra wide angle so I was planning to sell the Samyang/Rokinon and go for this Tamron, hoping it would distort less. The versatility of the zoom helps too. 😆

From what I see, it can even match the IQ of the Batis 18. Would you say so? Thank you for a great review.

I wish that you could review the Sony 24 f1.4 and compare the IQ of both lenses in a future video. I think that would help a lot of Sony camera owners! I am looking to add a wider angle to my lens collection as 28mm is the widest that I currently own for full frame.

I also look forward to the comparison with the 16-35 2.8 GM :)

@DustinAbbottTWI 4 года назад

I disagree that it is the same as sharpness. It's probably closest to acutance, or the ability to resolve fine textures with contrast on a pixel level. I demonstrate microcontrast in this video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-La036dB-x_M.html (somewhere are the middle).

Hmmm...I've included 3 comparisons of sharp lenses, so I'm not sure what your complaint is. I have wall tests of all lenses that I've done in recent history, but there isn't a similar zoom lens that I've reviewed on Sony.

My best argument for test charts is that they are high contrast, making it very easy to pick out sharpness/contrast where the grey of a wall might be less blatantly obvious.

What complaint? I made a suggestion. And what has zoom to do with it? Myself I'd be very interested to se a comparison with sony and/or sigma 24mm/1.4. If sharpness turned out to be comparable it would be a compelling argument for this tamron zoom

@DustinAbbottTWI 4 года назад

I think that's true, but I find I pick up more real world subtleties with a three dimensional surface. Case in point is the Sigma 85mm F1.4 ART, which people who chart tested called CA free, but in real world lighting does exhibit some fringing. My testing method caught that.

Most likely the comparison will come when the new Sigma 14-24 FE comes out, and I'd like to compare the Tamron, Sigma, and maybe the GM.

Batis 18mm compared would be quite interesting 😀

@DustinAbbottTWI 4 года назад

I might try to arrange a little comparison when the new Sigma 14-24 comes out

From the tamron review, it seems as at full aperture the corners are much better in the tamron vs the Batis 18mm, especially at close distances.. that surprises me since batis is a more expensive prime.. am I right?

Hi, Tamron finally issued an firmware update for the 17-28 mm This update improves the following issues which may rarely occur with certain settings. 1.The back monitor of camera instantly flashes when the shutter button is pressed halfway. 2.AF doesn’t work properly after the camera recovers from the sleep mode or power off. www.tamron.jp/en/support/popup/a046.html#SO

Got to say you were right.. it's indeed always two downvotes on all new videos.. always!!!!!

@DustinAbbottTWI 4 года назад

There's definitely a pattern.

I just realized something. All Sony has to do is put a hinge on their existing design we can finally have a flip out screen and Sony would not be copying canon

@DustinAbbottTWI 4 года назад

Doesn't look like they've done that...at least with the a7RIV.

The problem with third party wide angle distortion is that it won’t be corrected

@DustinAbbottTWI 4 года назад

That’s not true. Both JPEGS and video are corrected.

well oh Azraelian-with-no video-content-on-his-channel, the tone of his tone is anything but "frowny" but you don`t seem like the type of person to prefer to praise when praise is due
