This lens totally outshines Tamron 17-28mm. Cost, performance and size is simply unbeatable. I almost got 17-28 but discovered this little gem...I am so pleased I bought it because it's way more versatile than any other wide angle zoom I ever owned. Canon produced a similar lens back in 80's and that was 20-35mm f/2.8 L. I had it for almost 10 years and loved it. This Tamron is optically superior in comparison to that old zoom. Great video and fantastic review...keep them coming. Subscribed!

Cool analysis of the 20-40mm. I think I need this lens BECAUSE the range that it covers is PERFECT for how "I" shoot. I do party events so I take shots on the dancefloor with the party guests. You did not mention that. 📸💯💪

@razafiarisonmichael4421 Год назад

@molybdnum Год назад

I'm grabbing this as my A7C 28-60mm kit-lens replacement and (with some trade-in credit) using it as an affordable opening to figure out what focal lengths in the 20-40 range to commit to a quality prime for. The 28-60 already traded out the tele end for compactness and I didn't miss it, because like you say - when I want a 'detail' shot I really want to exaggerate that 'punch in' effect with a 150mm + tele (or to go put my wideangle 10cm from the subject). I'm not worried about the long end because there's tons of options I can pickup down the road for when I know I will want longer reach. 50-85-135 primes, or a fast 50 and a 70-200, or the Tamron 35-150 2-2.8 and 150-500, or a hilarious 2-lens kit of the 20-40 and the Sigma 50-500.

@savnac Год назад

Imagine this lens, with an 85mm 1.8? That’s like the perfect lens duo you wouldn’t really get with a 24-70. There’s still more use in owning an 85 if you own this 20-40 because of its lower reach. I was considering getting a 28-75 and a 17-28, but I might get this 20-40 and an 85mm instead. Pretty great stuff.

@MusicLee2012 Год назад

thanks for the information! But between the 20-40 f/2.8 and the 28-75 f/2.8 II, how to make the decision? I had the 28-75 f/2.8 II, but I always find it not wide enough nor reach far enough.

@KenseiAkatsu Год назад

It's about if you invest on wide or telephoto side. You can get a reach by getting close to the subject physically, or just cropping the image. But solutions are less in Wide. So, I would go for wide.

@allen.h14 Год назад

I've already have 17-28mm, 28-75mm, baits 25mm, 40mm, Sony 85mm 1.8. Just bought 35-150, and I'm wondering if I can only keep 20-40mm and 35-150mm for filmmaking....

@winterkat8693 Год назад

I personally fell like sigma is for that really crisp modern commercial clean look, while tamron is like the soft yet sharp cinema look that you cant quiet put your finger on why it looks the way it does. So I used to prefer sigma but after using the latest tamron glass, I think its more my kinda glass, mostly cause I do video more and photo 2nd.

@martin9410 5 месяцев назад

I've had both. If it's for events, the Signal is much better, but if it's just for traveling and you don't want to draw too much attention to yourself, then I would go with the 20-40. I think the Sigma focuses slightly better and the image quality is slightly better.

@PatrickSchraner Год назад

If this was a 20-50mm I would preorder it immediately, but only having a 20mm zoom range is a bit limiting if this is a new "standard" zoom lens.

I didn't upgrade to the A7iv because of it's weight and size from A7iii. Having the 20-40mm would be perfect. I dont like Tamron lens's low-light performance but weight trumps all.

When I need to shoot event photo or portrait or more need on telephoto, I will use the sigma 28-70. They can help to save time on changing lens. I had tamron 20mm and sigma 28-70 and I found it is quite annoying in switching lens between them.

@professionalpotato4764 Год назад

But then you have to swap lenses. 40mm crop to 50mm is a very small crop. This feels more usable than a standard zoom + wide prime, especially if you're travelling in an urban area and constantly go indoors/outdoors.
