    I watched almost all the latest reviews of this lens and found yours is the best so far. You covered almost everything we want to know and even the tiny jitters of the background while using this lens to take video not to mention the comparison between this lens and the Sony equivalent. Very informative and full of fun. Respect!

    I have the sony and was about to regret it until your final comparison. Thanks for that. If I were buying now, it would be a hard decision (I do have a stabilized body a6500). That $500 difference, the VC and the 70mm long end are pretty compelling arguments. Tamron's got a winner. I'm glad that we have some good choices now. Great review!

      F2.8 is f2.8 in terms of exposure but on a full frame you'll get less nois and less Dof at F4 and one step higher ISO

    @stefpix 3 роки тому +17

    This is great, being 2.8 it allows a crop frame camera to compete with full frame A7C +24-105 f/4 . A comparison would be interesting to see if A7C+24-105 at ISO 1600 compares to A6400+17-70 at ISO 800. I just got in December a Nikon Z5 +24-200 for travel. really happy with it (beautiful viewfinder). I have the Sony 16-55 f2.8, bit image stabilization, close focus and longer range make this an amazing lens. Travel, lifestyle assignments, portraits, fashion. Also this Tamron is better and more competitive than the Sony 16-70 f4. Also wider and more versatile than Sony A7x+ Tamron 28-200.

    I recently picked up a 6100 (silver/black version which looks very nice) over the holidays to compliment my full frame Sony bodies. I wanted to have something small and compact that I can carry with me on less demanding tasks and trips. This is a workhorse lens that fills a gap in the aps-c lineup at a good price.
    I’m using my full frame lenses interchangeably but OSS is missing on many of them and no IBIS on the 6100. This is a godsend for darker environments and now on my wishlist. Thanks for the review.

  • @Tritschla

    Thanks mate, great video. I was just in search for a comparison and I love your videos about the right settings for the Alphas as well.
    This is especially great for someone new to this eco system (I was using a Canon EOS 600D with a Tamron 18-70 f2,8 and a Sigma 70-200 f2,8)
    Unfortunately, it seems that the most of the E-Mount lenses are not providing this great arperture, therefore I'm very intersted in these two glasses

I own 2 tamron lenses 1 for sony and 1 for canon and they are amazing for the price. In all honesty the quality is really good and so far no client of mine has had any complaints about their photos. Tamron is a great company with some great prices for the quality of both image and lens. I definitely recommend their products to beginners and pros.

I noticed a difference in term of sharp, Sony 16-55 is better but... as I understand it, there is no reason to buy the Sony 16-55 because the Tamron is definitely the best choise. (I’ve also a Sony 30mm 1.4 for portraits photos). I’d love to know what do you think about it. sorry for my english 😂 🇮🇹

    I'm tempted to switch to Sony just for the 17-70/2.8. Just waiting for their next APS-C body. Hopefully in DSLR form rather than rangefinder.
    If Tokina makes their 11-16/2.8 or 11-20/2.8 in E-mount, that would be awesome as well.

    Just ordered that lens. Exited to use it. Little surprised for that $ it's not made in Japan. Will be on a6600 which has in body stabilization. Will be my first non Sony lens for that body.

    It's interesting to hear how several people have been tripped up with the focus ring and zoom ring between this Tamron and the Sony 16-55G lens when Sony's very own 70-350G lens has the Zoom ring on the outside and the focus ring on the inside like this Tamron.
    I use the Sony 70-350G lens quite a bit and its Zoom and Focus rings are identical to this Tamron lens which is great news for me, because I get tripped up going from it to the Sony's 55-210 lens which seems to be similar to the 16-55G.

    Vivian got the like. Good content on the lens. Wondering if the pulsing effect on the background has gone away with the FX-30 and newer cameras.

    I love that road from Zion to Bryce, wish I had a nice camera on a gimbal to capture it when I was there.

    Really good video. You touched on a topic that I have been considering for a while. I have a small streaming business and want to add another camera. I currently have a Sont a6400 with a good selection of lenses. I have been thinking about getting another a6400 wit this lens (Tamron 17-70mm f2.8) or the Sony A7C with the Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8. I think comparing these two setups, with test footage, etc, would be a great video. How would both setups compare under low light conditions for video work? How much more stable is the A7C footage thanks its IBIS? I was leaning towards the A7C setup, but Im now leaning back towards to a6400 setup because of this (Tamron 17-70mm f2.8) lens with its image stabilisation. If you decide to do this video, please use real scenes for low light. I dont think that point both camera at an object in a poorly lit room is a good test and most real life tests have moving objects. Keep up the great work. Michael from Ireland
