If you haven’t subscribed to this channel yet you really should do so. Arthur R really knows his stuff and is a clear, concise video reviewer. I have watched his videos for quite awhile without commenting but would like to take this opportunity to say Thank You for what you do. It’s incredibly informative and helpful! Your wife is lovely and your boy is beautiful; stick with this- it’s really exceptional work.
This lens is living on my a6500 and I am very happy with the combo. It is fantastically light but also not the best looking lens. However. it has rapidly become my new "favourite".
I appreciate the review and your use on aps-c. I wish there more sample pics of things faraway, showing the same subject from the shortest length, followed by the longest length.
I guess the next video will be testing the tamron 28-200 f2.8-f5.6 (A071) or 70-180 f2.8 (A056) on an apsc camera! Planning to get a full-frame camera in the near future, I just bought a A071 a few days ago and love how it performs on my a6500.
I decided that the stabilizing, extra reach, and a good sale price made the Sony 70-350 the right choice for my a6100. Thank you for helping me to choose, Arthur. As you did with the camera body last summer.
I need a good zoom. That's what I've been missing since switching from Canon to Sony. I had a pretty nice zoom for my t3i. I won't be going on any outdoor adventures till next year though so I can wait.
Just watch 55-210 sole review because that is an entry level lens. If you're planning to crop hard, don't. It's decent for casual photo, just don't crop Sony has the similar class lens which is 70-350.
@@daniellehotsky1776 That's the goal.. a comparison between a cheap lens vs medium price vs expensive one.. how can a cheap lens compete versus more expensive one in the same range and same focal length/ aperture.
@@daniellehotsky1776 not all people have a budget for video and photo camera both, and there's plenty of options of hybrid cameras with excellent rolling shutter performance, Sony is unfortunately notorious for bad video rolling shutter especially in apc-s bodies (earlier even their pro camcorders line such as F3 had a pretty noticeable RS)
@@daniellehotsky1776 there's no need to be so grumbly. As for "go and earn some money" - majority of people doesn't live in first world countries, hence the possibilities for earning money might be extremely limited.
I'm still somewhat confused about the lack of tele on the sony. Okey, there's tele lenses but even my old canon 70-300 does 300mm at 5.6. And why don't we have the sigma 50-100 1.8 for sony E APS-C yet??? I notice I often fall short with the 200mm 2.8, where is my 300mm 3.5????
Hi, love your videos. I have a Sony A6000 and am looking for my first prime lens. I have watched several of your videos and just wondered, what you would recommend?
I shoot with both full frame (A7iii) and crop sensor (A6600) Sony mirrorless cameras and my go-to telephoto lens is the Sony 70-350mm f/4.5-6.3 OSS. Although this is a crop sensor lens, I have no problems with that since I always used my Canon 100-400mm Mark-ii lens on my crop sensor Canon 7D Mark-ii camera and was very happy with the results. Although both cameras have IBIS, the combination of IBIS and OSS or the Sony lens is a very handy combination since the lens has a relatively slow aperture range. However, if the Tamron lens had been available at the time that I purchased my Sony 70-350, I would seriously have considered that option because o the considerably lower price. I wish that Tamron would come up with a good 1.4x or even 2x teleconverter for their 70-180mm f/2.8 lens...
I actually took a leap on this lense and pre-ordered it when I saw it coming out. I have to agree, ita not nearly as premium as my Sigma 24-70mm Art lense, compared to that lense the Tamron feels like a toy. Outside of that I think its spot on, especially with it being $500. This thing is pretty great.
The 55-210 is a good lens, but not fantastic. The OSS in the 55-210 is great if your camera doesn’t have IBIS. It is also WAY smaller and cheaper. It’s worth trying the 55-210 first to see if a telephoto zoom lens is what you are looking for.
Hi. Is this a better option for APS-c then the native Sony 70-350 ? I am thinking that the full-frame aperture would result in better performance on APS-c
I wonder, how does the quality compare to the Nikon AF-P NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6E ED VR It is the FX version of their 70-300 and is cheaper than the tamron lens while offering OIS. While it is for a different camera, it would be interesting compare, especially since Nikon uses Sony image sensors anyway. The only reason why I am interested in such a comparison is one of pricing, and how they justify the price, especially if they ever make an F-mount version.
Thanks for your review. I just purchased from B&H, the price is right, and I'll be using it along with the Sony a6600, mostly for bird photography. Thanks for sharing, I love your channel, it's very informative, and I enjoy very much the pictures of your beautiful wife, that is always smiling and the aura she has all around is like an angel.
Superb video, just heard about Tamron will be launching 17-70 f/2.8 VC for Sony APS-C. Exciting times. Please review that lens once you get. Also, test it across its focal range even on your Full frame to see how vignette is present. Last time one photographer did checked the 18-105 f4 on A7iii uts was awesome from 70-105 end.
This lens is very tempting for landscape photography 🤔 I've heard that the OSS is something you want to turn off when you want to shoot with a slow shutter speed. Plus if you want to switch to full frame later, this might be the best choice possible.
Please explain to me, can i use it for moon photography? Since you are saying it performs not so good in low light, So shall i not buy it? I am trying to focus on Sunsets and Moon captures.
Yes, It can mount to that camera, but you"ll be without any stabilisation at all (and that helps a lot at the long focal lengths). This lens does not have VC.
The comparison I was interested in was the 70-300 Sony vs Tamron on a full frame camera with ibis. The ibis will put the Tamron on a somewhat level playing field. Just curious as the Tamron is half the price of the Sony.
I bought Sony 55-210mm for my Sony a5000 APC camera. I'm not happy with it's performance, especially at 210mm. Will this Tamron be a good upgrade considering I'm using it for casual nature and bird photography?
It will on the long end, under certain conditions, for example if you're trying to focus manually. The stabilisation does help in framing up your shots too.
Glad you tested on APS-C, too many full frame reviews out there.
Sony 70-350 vs Tamron 70-300 vs sigma 100-400.
Make it happen💪🏻💪🏻
Yes
Agree I would like to see this.
heard so much good stuff about this sigma
Is the sigma made for Sony bodies ?
@@Jobitto07 yup. Fullframe, just like this tamron

Thanks Arthur You helped me a lot in the deliberations. I have an A6400 and was looking for an option that fits my budget. Well done
Would you consider doing a comparison between this and the Sony 70-350?
I trust your reviews. It's the highest compliment!
Another great video, but please include the settings you used for each photo (focal length, shutter speed, aperture and ISO). Thanks.
why you are so awesome Bro, Always Top Notch analysis. keep it up.
This lens is living on my a6500 and I am very happy with the combo. It is fantastically light but also not the best looking lens. However. it has rapidly become my new "favourite".
Used it the other day (A6400) for BIF. For that you need a very fast shutter which makes the lack of IBIS or OSS a mute point
I appreciate the review and your use on aps-c. I wish there more sample pics of things faraway, showing the same subject from the shortest length, followed by the longest length.
8:29 - WAT?
No image stabilization
Could you compare with Sony E 70-350?
Thanks for making this review. I have a6000 and I'm planning to buy this lens.
I guess the next video will be testing the tamron 28-200 f2.8-f5.6 (A071) or 70-180 f2.8 (A056) on an apsc camera!
Planning to get a full-frame camera in the near future, I just bought a A071 a few days ago and love how it performs on my a6500.
I would also love to see the Tamron 70-180 f2.8 on the APSC video!
Я могу сказать, что Tamron 70-180 2.8 на Sony A6600 работает изумительно. Я уже пол-года им пользуюсь и очень доволен.
This is what I am waiting for. Thanks so much💙

Was there ever a review of the 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS | C by Sigma?
That’s what I had been waiting for. Christopher Frost has a great review. I bought it after watching his review.
@@keystonebrotherb Thanks! Are you enjoying using it?
Yes! It’s great. Surprisingly it’s a great outdoor portrait lens with my AD600 and the Glow ParaPop 38” I use this more than the 85 1.8.
Great review. Would have loved to see if using the 6600 really made a difference in stabilization
yeah, I'm waiting this video for a long time
Perfect for someone having both ff and apsc.
Again, nice review.
Using this lens in A6600 and it was great.
Does the IBIS help while shooting videos?
Thanks for sharing, as always covering all questions that i had when started to watch the video. 👍🏼
Finally! Back to reviewing normal lenses. I recommend the Sigma 100-400 DG DN. It’s nearly perfect.
Sigma weighs and costs twice as much. Sharpness is exceptional on Tamron. It uses same optics as 28-75.

The 55-210 is not only entry level, it is also quite old. If you don’t find a used copy really cheap, I would not consider it.
Pumped, mine will be here Tuesday! A7III + this should be 🔥
Can't wait for you to review the upcoming 17-70 Tamron 2.8 Lens coming out next year, and how it goes against the Sony G Master 16-55
8:40 that rolling shutter is painful to watch
It's a Sony
@@trym2121 it's bad but it's not supposed to be that bad, something is wrong here.

kind of a missed opportunity to not try out this lens with the 6600
just to see if the IBIS was sufficient to keep this lens manageable
Did u test the full frame sony 70-300? No one review this lens and i find it quiet interesting it fixes the smalls cons from the tamron i think
Awesome video🔥🔥
Any chance I could get my hands on the RAW images? Just 2-3 should also do.
Thanks in advance 🙂😄
Would be nice to compare this with the tamron 28-200 f2.8-5.6 less zoom but you can get to 2.8 for lower light.
Would this be good for sports photography? I’d be using a a6400

If you have the money 70-350. If you plan going to FF, this or sigma 100-400
So if i switch to crop mode on my a7 will it be 450mm ? 😀
Perfect Quality/Price ratio !
Hi. Is this a better option for APS-c then the native Sony 70-350 ?

how would that work though? shooting handheld wouldnt a slow shutter and OSS off give blur or something?

Is almost the same, both have 4.5 so the change is not enough.
