F4 and F2.8 makes them very different beasts. Sony is great for outdoor walk-around but anything low light and more DOF you are going to want the Tamron
Great video! Super helpful. I currently have the Sony 18-105, and while it has performed well for me, I just want some more light and bokeh. This video has convinced me that the Tamron is worth the buy!
I like the saying, you get what you pay for. I've had the Sony 18-105 for years, and would replace it with the Tamron but, I already have the Tamron 28-75, and may money would be better served buying the 17-28. I do have a FF camera too hence why I have the 28-75. I was just talking to someone today and recommended him to buy the Tamron 17-70.
Definitely getting both. Since im new ish to Sony, I'd get the Sony18-105 f4 first just to start to have better glass in this range then later if I have the budget the Tamron 17-70 f2.8. Nice that Tamron made the range 17-70mm since they already have the 70-180mm f2.8.
Hi sir can i ask which lens is much better for Product Reviews? As well as talking heads? I am really keen on getting the 18-105 due to its range and OSS capability for broll
Good comparison! I have the 18-105 but definitely considering the 17-70. Does the picture quality of the Tamron blow away the Sony? If it’s close, was thinking to hang on to the 18-105 for a bit and get the Sigma 56mm for the sharp bokehliciousness
In my opinion, YES. The image quality the Tamron produces is way better than the 18-105. Especially in term of the image sharpness. Thanks for watching :)
@@DanboxingPH does that apply to video as well, or just stills? I've heard that video is more forgiving when it comes to sharpness in general. Do you think you get a sharper video image?
Nice and entertaining comparison. Way to go 👌😉 I have two primes from Sigma for my A6400. 16 & 56. Those are amazing but I'm leaning much more into video than photos and I need stabilised lens for that. Gimbal is not practical for many everyday uses. Right now my top options are Tamron 17-70 or Sony 35 1.8. If anyone has some experience with these lenses, that would be a great help.
I have both. As a pure amateur they both take great photos and match well with my A6000. The Tamron is a recent purchase and I took it and my 35mm prime on a trip to Ireland. Having a variable zoom was great for vacation travel and I never swapped lenses. The 35mm is also a great lens that takes incredible shots but you have to zoom with your feet. The 35mm F1.8 grabs beautiful bokeh and works great in low light. Both have OSS and neither is a bad choice...just depends on what you want to do. Hard choice but if I had to choose one, the Tamron is more versatile.
@@NJMike67 Thanks! Ended up with a zoom indeed although Sony 18-105 f/4. The Sigma primes are much better for pictures. Sony is a very good video lens and decent all-rounder.
have you the two lenses? Please, let's me see pictures of these two lenses to analize the sharpness I have the 18-105mm f4 and I'm a wedding videomaker and I'd like to buy this tamron, then let's me see the pictures of these two in different mm
Was it a good jump? I’m planning to get 18-105mm for my first all around. And it’s a lot cheaper. Should I go straight to Tamron? Since I’m going to use it for travel
Switching from Nikon to Sony in a near future, I can't decide between 18-105 or 17-70 I will probably get the a6700 with a 11-20 f2.8 ; 150-500 ; 30mm f1.4 and a more versatile lens I have 2 options in mind, (30mm 1.4 + 18-105 f4) or only 17-70 f2.8, I don't a lot of portrait but I think the 2.8 will be okay I will just probably miss 70-150 range What do you think ? Thx !
SO happy i found your channel Dan- though I’m really trying not to purchase any new gear at the moment 😅 I love your reviews and just your editing style 💯 also, I’m always happy to discover fellow Filipino content creators 😎
I would get the tamron 17-70 over the sony 18-105 however Its quite a big zoom difference is it not? 70mm vs 105mm is quite a jump especially when shooting video or am I mistaken?? I need the most zoom I can get without moving to one of those mega anti portable lenses.
Hi Dan, nice video as always. Need a bit of advice from you about these two lenses. I'm looking to upgrade from my Zeiss 16-70mm f4 since its sharpness is absolute dogs$#!t especially in larger focal lengths. Currently stuck between these two and the Sony 18-135mm F3.5-5.6mm. Between these three, which do you think is best for candid street photography? And is the 18-105mm is still good in 2022? or are there better alternatives with similar traits? Thanks my dude!
Thank you, buddy! I’d go for the Tamron 17-70. Sharper, faster and larger aperture. Plus it has nice colors too. As least for me. It’s jus that, it’s the most expensive of the three.
@@DanboxingPH Thanks for replying! I'm currently saving up and still stuck between the 18-300mm and the 17-70mm. I'm leaning more towards the 18-300mm because I do a lot of far away candid shots so the subject don't notice that they are being photographed instead of the more "in your face" street photography.
HEY! my support all the way from TUNIS 🇹🇳. i do have the sigma 30mmf1.4. i do some street photography as a hobby, and planning to start portrait photography. however since i’m moving to istanbul. i feel that i kinda need a zoom lense to capture more of street moments. i was thinking about sony 18105mm for its OSS and focal length. the F4 seems great to me since i’ll bee shooting at day light most of the time. the sigma is enough for night street photography. however i started thinking about the tamron 17-70 f2.8 for its sharpness and its aperture so i’m kinda hesitant about what to pick. what do you think?🤔
I’d pick 17-70 anytime of the day. It’s just more advanced and better in my opinion. The only reason I’d pick the 18-105 over the Tamron is the extra focal length. The difference from 70 to 105 is significant. But if that’s not that important to you, go for thr Tamron 😊
my question is : do you actually have this lenses , because i can't see them...it seems like you are speaking in regards to only specification ...anyone can compare them like that , what we need are real tests , someone who tested them side by side
I work in events, the light is often not the best. which one would you recommend? On the one hand I want the 2.8 from Tamron and on the other I want the 105mm from Sony 😅
Thanks, man! Not that you should. 18-105 is a good lens after all. But if it’s worth the upgrade, IT SUPER IS. Larger aperture and better image sharpness 👌🏽
I have Sigma 16mm & 56mm too , and I'm considering to get the tamron 17-70mm f2.8 in the future :) reason is i can just use 1 lens if i dont really need to shoot in some very low light condition
I am stuck in the play off between the Tamron 17-70 and Sigma 18-50 both f2.6 but from there, features snd price are factors. So hard to decide as I have a6000 and this will be my last purchase of camera do dads. Enjoyed your presentation style and will look back on your other videos. Thanks
Hey dude, this was a really helpful video, I watched all the way to the end! You seem like a really nice guy and you're super charasmatic! Keep doing what you do man, you're killing it! 🔥 I have one question though, does the diffrence between 70mm-105mm affect a lot if I want to use the lens professionally, say for events, weddings, etc?
Hey, Gabriel! Thank you for this comment. Very encouraging. In my opinion, it does have significant effect. Especially in portraits, the compression of 105mm is way better than the 70. Altho without having to compare them side by side, both are extremely good.
I already own the Sony 18-105 lens…..which I love, btw……however, the Tamron 17-70 will be the perfect all-around lens for me to use when I visit my folks in the Philippines. BIG SALAMAT on the great comparison/review, and keep them dogs on a leash, broham. 🍻✊🏾🇵🇭 ALWAYS!!!

Did you try a tamron, or is this just an opinion based on youtube reviews etc. ? I use Tamron for about 3+ months, after selling 18-105 and sigma 16... and I still dont regret I did it. Both are great lenses, but they both miss something. Tamron just has it all.
@@RadimOndruska I am planning to buy a6400 without Kit Lens and was looking for 18-105 f4 and in future buy Sigma 16 f1.4 as Tamron is expensive. But now you are saying that you sold both of these and bought tamron. I want to make Travel Videos and I am confused AF 😭 Please guide me 🙏
@@RadimOndruska Also please tell me for making videos as a beginner. Which lenses are better Zoom or Prime?? As Sigma Trio is too good and cheap than these zoom lenses !! What would you say!?
Как говно соневское можно сравнить с тамроном.... сони проигрывает по всем параметрам, там 0 резкости, размытые края, качество как на стоке, темный 4, против 2.8, (и боке слабое естественно) остальное и смотреть нет смысла.

The Tamron has weather sealing, so you can take it to more extreme environments without worries!
Good point! 🔥
It doesn't help if the camera itself is not weathersealed. As fas as I know only A6600 actually is.
@@MeatMeOutdoors so is the A6400
Thanks for your comparison. Just sold my 18-105 & I'm waiting for the arrival of the 17-70! Looking forward to using it

Nice and entertaining comparison. Way to go 👌😉 I have two primes from Sigma for my A6400. 16 & 56. Those are amazing but I'm leaning much more into video than photos and I need stabilised lens for that. Gimbal is not practical for many everyday uses. Right now my top options are Tamron 17-70 or Sony 35 1.8. If anyone has some experience with these lenses, that would be a great help.
I am facing the same dilemma. I am thinking of going with Tamron, wider aperture will allow me to shoot in the night as well at lower ISO.
I have both. As a pure amateur they both take great photos and match well with my A6000. The Tamron is a recent purchase and I took it and my 35mm prime on a trip to Ireland.

Tamron 17-70 absolutely! I really hate the 18-105 for the image quality 🤣
Thank you, I have the 18-105 , now I have to decide if it is worth the money to upgrade.
For hand-held videos, Is the image stabilization on the Tamron smoother than the Sony when using an unstabilized camera like the Sony a6100 ?
For some reason, I find it fairly similar. Nothing better, nothing worse.
Switching from Nikon to Sony in a near future, I can't decide between 18-105 or 17-70
I will probably get the a6700 with a 11-20 f2.8 ; 150-500 ; 30mm f1.4 and a more versatile lens
I have 2 options in mind, (30mm 1.4 + 18-105 f4)
or only 17-70 f2.8, I don't a lot of portrait but I think the 2.8 will be okay
I will just probably miss 70-150 range
What do you think ?
Thx !
Your view on new sigma 20 - 55 vs tamron 17 -70 on non-stabilized Sony emount?
I haven’t tried the new Sigma but I’d say stabilized lenses always have a special place in my bag. Hahaha
