I have this for almost 6 months now and I love it. When I need a little extra reach I just switch to crop sensor mode and it gives me everything I need.
Thanks
Which button did you program for switching to crop mode just curious?
@@viktor928 I still haven’t programmed any of the buttons. That’s on my to do list
Lucky. Been pre ordered since January no update.
I was testing Tamron f/2.8 17-28mm, 28-75mm G2, 70-180mm and 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6 when just switching over from Fuji (2 bodies + 10 lenses) to Sony a month ago with the mind set of "trinity lenses" ; however, came across this lens on UA-cam and was immediately intrigued. At the end, I purchased this lens and Sigma 16-28mm and I am extremely satisfied with the IQ and less need to swap out lenses while carrying lighter/ smaller backpack. I found myself using this lenes 98% of the time so far shooting over 20 events so far and making distance adjustment to compensate the need of extra wide coverage or zoom. I did buy a used LNIB Sony grip to counterweight the front heavy issue and found that the grip not only help to counterweight the lenes but also help my hand not to sit in 90-degree angle when supporting this Lense which also could cause corotational on the rest when holding this lenes for extended time. Thanks for your review that help me not to waste money on more lenses or lens swapping but focus on shooting. I may buy a used 28-200 f/2.8-5.6 in the future as I found it was a joy to have with excellent IQ even though it is f/5.6 at the long end.
I thought it was too big when I first got it, but I find myself leaving it on my camera all the time. It is an amazing lens.
Way too big for me but I love to see Tamron pushing the boundaries. Also, the rack focus is an incredible feature. I was out hiking the other day and just kept wishing I could switch to mf and hit a custom button to have my lens snap to focus at infinity. Maybe Sony will add that in firmware so people will buy their lenses instead haha
Thank you for the review, brilliant as always.
You listed this as Sigma 35-150mm in your comparisons to Sony 24-70mm 7:18
Yep...I goofed that one lol. Definitely the Tamron
Nice...I wish Tamron would make this lens for the Nikon Z mount.
Nikon and cannon would need to open their mount and electronics data first
The lack of 3rd party lenses is why I left the Nikon Z series
Wish Nikon would let Tamron make this lens for z Mount. Its the Equivalent of a Copyright strike for the manufacturing world.
Or you could just buy a Sony camera.
The megadap adapter for Nikon Z to Sony E seems to be quite popular and has been doing well with this lens...
I have this lens and like others here, feel it's an amazing lens but...it's heavy. So I reach for it when I have a dedicated shoot, and love not having to switch lenses. For casual shooting, I have the tiny Sony G primes (polar opposites) of this Tamron lens. For me it's far more interesting than a 24-70, but I do carry a 24 prime with me when I take this out.
I have it and I love it. My one gripe is the stiffness of the zoom ring. I’m shooting a lot of wrestling matches. I fantasize about a zoom turning knob. I use pro mist filters so the images have a bit of a dreamy film-like feel to them.
Bought this thing 3 months ago and there's still no telling when its going to ship. The frustration is now wearing out the excitement I have for this lens.
did you get it?
@@JJ-vp3bd I ended up contacting one of my local camera shops and they had one in stock so I cancelled my order from B&H. But yes I got it and it is absolutely amazing!
@@gweeds334 dayum how do you rate it do you work full time
This is one of my dream lenses ✨️ REALLY wish Tamron would/could make this 35-150 f2-2.8 for Z mount. I still use my Tamron 35/1.4 & 24-70/2.8 G2 on my new Z9 & they both work like native lenses, it's incredible!
I'm heavily considering just buying this Tamron lens & getting a ETZ adapter (I've heard good things about the Megadap one), but it's just the unknown of reliability that makes me hesitate...but I'm definitely giving it serious thought bc I just LOVE the lens 😅
Hi..Does the Sony lenses works good on Nikon with the adapter? I like Sony lenses but Nikon body due to the colors. Did you have the same reason? Thanks,
It's available for Z mount now!
This lens is incredible.
pretty excited about Sony lenses selection - I am coming from Fuji APSC for many years. good variety depending on your needs.
Nice! Definitely some solid choices
I want to jump to an A7C for this very reason and AF. Currently, use 2 fuji bodies.
Love the original version of this lens on Nikon F mount, though it is only f2.8-4 but much smaller, lighter, cheaper. I bought it to replace the Nikon 24-120 F4, and the Tamron gave sharper results with better bokeh for sure. Also love they made it variable aperture, as having f2.8 at 35 makes it much better in low light versus a constant f4.
The new version may be a little too big, heavy, and pricey for a non-professional like me, but it's definitely still great value and actually fulfills the goal of the original lens, which was to be an all-in-one solution for pro portrait photographers. I think f2.8-f4 just wasn't bright enough for that goal.
It's actually f2 at 35mm.
Thanks for the review man - I'm moving into Event Videography with my first big job lined up in November. This looks like the perfect lens for me paired with my Sony Alpha IV. I'll go handheld for a lot of my shots and/or gimbal - which is where my doubt sets in. Is this just simply too heavy? Would I be better with a 24-70?
Im curious what you went with? I've just been rocking 35/50/85 primes, but have been looking to grab a 24-70 for my everyday/video lens.... but now im also considering the 35-150.
@Dan Watson - Great review most def! Thank you for all of the new and useful info. I did however wanted you to know about the typo you had starting at 7:13 you labeled the left side as a Sigma 35-150mm instead of saying Tamron :) Otherwise, flawless victory lol
Like the logic. I would like 20~80mm as well.
f-ratio transition points are officially 42mm, 62mm, and 82mm :)
Thanks Marc!
@@learningcameras I gotchu :) super pleased you dig the lens.
LOVE the lens and want to purchase one but can't find it anywhere. Any ideas why that is? And any thoughts best place to buy or preorder, if I could? Thanks!
Sadly not available for the Canon EF, or RF. This is the ultimate lens. Just watched your video on the 35-150 F2.8-4.0, but yeah, this one at F2-2.8 is unbelievable. Tamron, are you there? Can we get this for Canon? Please?
Great Video! What can you say about the Video Focus? Smart to use it as an Video-Lens?
Yep, focusing was smooth and I was perfectly happy using autofocus with video on it
Wish they'd do this formula but for a crop body. That would be a 24-105 f/1.4-2 about the same size. But it would be awesome for a fuji system which I enjoy using more than sony.
Amazing video Dan! You have convinced me to sell my 135 and 24-70 to get this man! Oh btw just thought you should know that there was a labelling mistake in your sample shots at the 07:15 segment
Awesome!!! Hahaha...unfortunately youtube doesn't allow corrections after something posts
@@learningcameras oh well not like that ruins the video in any way lol 😂 hey in my research on this lens I saw someone mention that if budget was a constraint then to go with the canon 35-150 f2.8-4 version but adapt it on to the sony body using a canon to Sony mount speed booster and that should give it the 2-2.8 speed as well and have the advantage of the VC as well. I ask you if this would be possible? Before I go and buy the wrong gear!
@@davematthew21 I wouldn't do that. First of all in my experience VC from 3rd party lenses and IBIS don't always play nice with each other lol, and using an adapter greatly limits autofocus performance compared to this native version. Massive difference for autofocus, especially with continuous AF or video. Plus if you want to use a speed booster on a full frame camera, you will have to put the camera in APSC mode which defeats the purpose. The speedbooster only works if you were using an APSC camera like the Sony a6600
@@learningcameras ohh 😮 thank you had no clue about that! Won’t bother about it and get the regular Sony mount itself! Thank you for your time
i refund it 6 days later and changed it to tamron 28-75,70-180 and i love using with this combination so far. 35-150 has good image quality, wide range or focal length, but was too bulky and heavy that i couldn't focus on shooting stills.
I've had the lens since January. It is wonderful but heavy. I'm still using primes when I can, not because of image quality, but just for the weight savings. When I'm not sure what I am going to need, I take the Tamron 35-150, which is most of the time.
This is a good reason to sell all your primes and start going to the gym)
Hit the gym
I love my 35-150, I'm never returning to the "holy trinity", 24-70 and 70-200 GM can suck it. We need to get away from this 3 lens box that we have been swept into for years now. Mirrorless camera's were supposed to be revolutionary, and instead manufacturers are falling back to their DSLR safe spaces. I'm glad Sony is using Tamron to push the industry.
I used tamron lenses on my Nikon DSLR. they are amazing. And I’m still using tamron 70-200 G2 on my Z Nikon body.
Min 7:30. Tamron not Sigma 😬
Hahaha... My bad
I for one am still going with the Sony 24-70mm F2.8 GM II and 70-200mm F2.8 GM II. I can understand the versatility of this one lens option. But I'd rather have the two GM versions, and eventually when they release a newer GM II 16-35 (might) get that. But honestly would rather have the next GM II 85mm F1.4 (whenever that comes out).
As far as sharpness and quality how does it compare to the Tamron 28-75mm g2? Better worse or the same?
This is my favorite Tamron lens hands down.
I have the older 35-150, such a great lens
The biggest problem with this lens is the 35mm on wide end. The 24-50 is a very busy focal length, meaning that either you have to carry two bodies or constantly switching lenses. Having 24-70 and 70-200 is a LOT more convenient, because 70mm is a black hole you rarely need to cross in the same session.
So if you also have like a 16-35, you're set!
I do think that depends on your shooting style. I’d say 90% or more of my shots across all disciplines (landscape, event, portrait, travel) are 35mm or longer. I just don’t really like the wide perspective. So I think this lens offers a specialist option for people like me who prefer a normal to compressed perspective.
The Tamron 35-150 on a Sony A74 and Sony A7C is an awesome combination
more awesome is a7riv with apsc on a custom button, to crop in 1.5x and still have 26MP
The Tamron 35-150 and Sony 24-105 combined with the Sony A74 would be perfect for me
That's definitely on my buying list, but there are rumors about a Sigma 28-70 f 2.0, if it comes to fruition it will be a tough decision
wow
Sigma would have to match the programmability of the 35-150 at minimum... They'd already be hurting in focal versatility.
Good if they do...
Love your video dose the lens have a stabilization button
Thanks! So no, the lens does not have internal stabilization but it will work with any camera IBIS system
Would you go with
16-35 + 70-200 both from Sony
or
16-35 + Tamron 35-150
I spend most of my time in the 35-55mm range so definitely the 2nd option with the Tamron
I'm on the fence with this awesome lens because I primarily shoot video such as weddings and I'm concerned about stable footage like I get with my Sony 24-105 F4 OSS. Thoughts?
you should totally get this tamron lens
Dan, how does video work handheld & run& gun, given there's no IBIS?
Also, when I looked up Sony E vs FE, it says, E is only for APSC, so I'm confused.
So as long as you have a camera with IBIS or ideally the new Active IBIS in the latest cameras, I have no problem using this handheld for run and gun video work as long as you aren't trying to hand hold it at 150mm. Sony's lens mount is called E so all E mount lenses will fit. An FE lens just means full frame E mount and this lens is an FE lens so full frame
I hope Tamron brings the 35-150 to Nikon, Canon, Panasonic and Fuji mounts
Is the image quality better than the Sony 24-105mm lens? Thank you.
By miles
My Nikon 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 tends to automatically change the aperture when zooming during video shooting, even when set to f5.6. Does this lens do the same?
No, as long as you fix it at F2.8, it will stay constant
Hey Dan =D Have you noticed that you wrote SIGMA 35-150mm vs SONY 24-70mm on your sharpness comparison photos? Looks like you made a typo there, instead of Tamron ? ;) Otherwise super good job on presenting this lense. The video and photos look grate. =D
Lol...a few people have brought it up. Definitely a typo haha...unfortunately youtube doesn't allow you to correct anything
Great video man! Have been dying to get this lens. Ordered it 2 months ago on adorama but it’s still on backorder and I still haven’t received it. Called 3 times and they said they are barely getting shipments. Stopped by B&H three times and they said no one in the store has ever seen it and their Tamron rep hasn’t even seen it. Seems like the perfect lens no one can get LOLL. Hope at some point people can get their hands on it. Lemme know if you know who is fulfilling orders!
Thanks! That sucks. I Preordered mine the day it was announced from B&H and got it in the 1st shipment. But yeah, things are different these days lol...it's almost impossible to get lenses that have been out for over a year! I'll keep you posted but everywhere I see doesn't have stock either
So responsive! Thanks!!
Yeah im also right around the 2.5 month mark. Im just waiting. Ugh.
I’m at about the 3 month mark and still backordered probably won’t be getting it for a few months either. Sad since I have some trips planned in the summer
Brick and mortar will be much faster to get you the lens than any of the internet giants. Check around the states and you will find one.
Reallyyyyy hope Sigma and Tamron start making their mirrorless lenses for Canon RF
Yep! Long overdue
Switch to sony
This lens or would both the Tamron 28-75mm G2 and Sony 70-200 f4 G be a better combo choice.
Have one and I love it.
Great review! You made a very compelling case for my next purchase. My wife thanks you 😂
Hahaha... Awesome!
I already own the Tamron 28-75 f/2.8, and am about to maybe buy a used Tammy 70-180 f/2.8. Would you recommend the 35-150 over that combo, or the other way around?
Sorry for the late reply! Not sure if you've purchased already but you can't go wrong with either of those. If you don't mind the weight of the 35-150, I'd definitely consider that first
I really want this lens but its not available everywhere...
Great video, thanks for Ur work :)
I know... So many lenses are out of stock right now! Appreciate it!
FYI, the current Sony 24-70mm f2.8 GM is bested in overall sharpness by a few third-party lenses now like the Sigma Art 24-70mm f2.8 DG DN, so comparing the new Tamron against that current 24-70mm f2.8 GM is not comparing it against the best E-mount 24-70mm f2.8 lens, and becomes a moot point as the new version II Sony 24-70mm f2.8 GM is set to drop in a few days and will be much sharper. We will wait for your comparisons with that version II Sony 24-70mm f2.8 GM II. Cheers and best to you.
Might not have to wait much longer to see some new comparison vids from me lol on some of what you mentioned...😉
Been there had the Sigma, had the Tamron and even the new GM ii and went back to the old GM - sometimes sharpness isnt all! Especially when you are searching for character and rendering. In this departement the original 24-70 is the best (less busy bokeh than the GM
ii etc..) Have been comparing my pictures and came to this conclusion ..
@@afrank3029 I had the Sony 24-70mm f2.8 GM version one and preferred the rendering of the Sigma Art 24-70mm f2.8 DG DN and sold the Sony one. I have not tried the Sony 24-70mm f2.8 GMII, but I know and follow some great testers like Gerald Undone and he told me the Sigma has 90% of the performance and IQ of the GM II and at half the price. I will stay with the Sigma which has made stunning photos for me all around the world with my A9, A1, A7RIV, A7SIII. My Sigma Art 24-70mm f2.8 DG DN images pair nicely with my images from my Sigma Art 85mm f1.4 DG DN, and my Sony 135mm f1.8 GM lenses. Cheers .
Everyone wants and talks sharper, sharper, sharper. Is anyones eyes even good enough to tell the difference at these levels ? Respectfully.
Hi Dan,
how would you rate the Tamron 35-150 compared to the Sony 24-70 GM2? I saw that you were able to test the GM2 as well.
I actually talk about it in a video going live in a few hours! If size and weight is no issue, I think a 35-150mm works better for portraits, weddings, and even cars because I rarely use the 24mm end for those shoots. But I prefer the new Sony 24-70mm for video, especially on a gimbal and in the studio so it really depends
What about indoor sports (basketball) ? Which AF-C would be better ? Thanks !
This is a lens I’ve been excited about for a long time! I ordered it from BNH back in December and it’s still on back order :/
Although currently backordered, I will preorder it immediately.
Nice!
Very nice review. Note: at 7:15ish, your text comparison info refers to the lens as a Sigma.
Hey, Dan, can you email me?
Hey Dan! I wanted to ask you given that I am just starting out in the automotive journalism world, that I was very heavily considering (no pun intended) the Tamron and thought that I was pretty much decided until a local camera shop had a Sony 24-105 that is very lightly used and almost half its original price at $900. I’m primarily going to be using a gimbal, and the price gap between a new Sony and a new Tamron was enough for me to go for the Tamron, but now with a lightly used Sony versus a brand new Tamron, that’s a significant price difference and this combined with the fact that I currently can’t get my hands on a Tamron anywhere lol, I’m wondering what your thoughts are on the 24-105. For some context, this would be my second lens for my A7SIII and I currently only have a 20 mm F1.8. Thanks for reading!
I think the 24-105mm is a great starter zoom and my favorite budget option. This Tamron though is optically better and has over a 1 stop aperture advantage which is what makes it worth it for me
@@learningcameras Thanks for the feedback! I grabbed the 24-105 because I noticed it's selling for as much as I bought it on ebay AND they gave me the box with the paperwork sealaed and all the packaging intact, so worst case I can sell it later. Also, the 35-150 is nowhere to be found for me lol! I practiced some car filming yesterday and the 105 was already enough for me. Thank you for the insight!
I love your reviews Sir
Thanks!
Waiting for it to drop for the Nikon Z Mount and I’ll be clicking that Buy Now buttons.
I want this in a 28-135mm.
Um, love the video but I'm confused as to why at the 7:13 spot, you label the 35-150 as Sigma (instead of Tamron), vs Sony 24-70?
Cause I slept like 3 hours and made a stupid mistake lol
@@learningcameras Ah, I'm sorry and I get it! Still enjoyed the video. I did go hunting for a Sigma to do a comparison. Hope you got some R&R!
What wider lens or lens in general would you pair it with?
Sometime like a 16-35 would be great. There are tons of choices from Sony or Sigma's 16-28 is solid: bhpho.to/3pKvxbD
I’m a fitness photographer and do live events from time to time and considering this as a one and done lens for such events and shoots, would you say this is one of the best I can invest in for such a niche?
Only if you also have a wide angle lens. I'd say for live event fitness videos, you will need something wider so if you only have 1 lens, I'd be more likely to get a 16-35 or 24-70 but if you also have a wide angle, definitely get the 35-150
I have 17-28 on A7iii and 35-150 on A7Riii, with super-35 on C1. So 225mm with a push of a button. So I hardly ever need to switch lenses. :) love everything about 35-150!
Awesome!
I like this lens but there is one caveat (besides being massive & heavy): the auto focus can be a little soft at times when shooting video.
In my opinion this lens alone is why E-mount is the best mount
What will the focal length be if I decide to shoot either APSC?
52-225mm so a great telephoto lens
Thanks a lot
I keep wanting to buy this lens. But I sold the original 24-70 and 70-200 GM lenses because I didn't want the weight. And flair is pretty bad for an otherwise excellent lens. I currently use the 24-70 GM II and 70-200 GM II. Plus I can use the 1.4x teleconverter on the 70-200 GM II. Are you still using the Tamron? If so, how do you like it after a year?
Hey! I'm still a massive fan of the lens and optical quality is stunning. It's definitely a heavy lens though so I tend to use it when I can use it to replace my 70-200 & 24-70 with this 1 Tamron lens. I'll bring a 16-35 and the 35-150 and have all the coverage I need and amazing optical quality. The only other negative is that you can't get more than about 7-10fps on Sony cameras so even if you have a Sony A1 (which I do), you can't maximize the full speed. But most Sony lenses top out around 8-10fps so not a big deal
When paired with the new Sony A7RV with 8-stop IBIS, the 60MP FF with the sharp Over Sampling 26MP APS-C images that is sharper than the 33MP image from the A7IV while still providing incredible flexibilities that covers most of my needs.
Tamron 35-150mm f/2.0-f/2.8 focal range including in APS-C mode:
@ f/2.0: 35mm-39mm (APS-C range: 52.5mm - 58.5mm / Total available range: 35mm - 58.5mm)
@ f/2.2: 40mm-59mm (APS-C range: 60.0mm - 88.5mm / Total available range: 40mm - 88.5mm)
@ f/2.5: 60mm-79mm (APS-C range: 90.0mm - 118.0mm / Total available range: 60mm - 118.0mm)
@ f/2.8: 80mm-150mm (APS-C range: 120.0mm- 225.0mm / Total available range: 80mm - 225.0mm)
I rather carry this one lens than have to miss precious moments during lens swapping, not to mention dealing with increasing frequency of sensor cleaning and dust entering into different lenses and while have to carry the weight of all the extra lenses on a much larger and heavier camera bag.
What tripod mount lens collar do you use?
None lol
Thoughts on the Tamron 35-150mm? What would you buy instead and what lens should I check out next!
I wanted to buy tamrons 28-75 f2.8 and 70-180 f2.8 and than they announced this beauty. So i ordered it, i was waiting for two months, and tomorrow is the day. Cant wait. I'm going to pair it with sony 20 f1.8 and thats all i will use for video on a7siii.
@@MarkoPejovic awesome!
Man this lens is tempting. I love my Sigma 24-70 and Tamron 70-180, but this could easily replace both of those. I'd miss the 24-35mm range, but I already plan to add the Tamron 17-28 back into the kit for wide shots, so maybe that would make more sense than having three lenses. Hmmmmmm
depends how often you shoot at the low end. You might find yourself changing lenses even more like i did. there is a reason most zooms are 24-70
wondering why you were showing portrait images when you want to compare the different focal lengths to what the eye sees?
As a wedding photographer
Do u think tamron 35-150 is better than the tamron 28-75 g2.? Sharper? What about image quality in both lenses?
Both are sharp lenses...the 35-150 might be a little sharper at some focal lengths but neither one have an issue with detail. Overall image quality is slightly better in the 35-150 I'd say...it just has some more unique characteristics that I prefer. If you don't already have a long lens like a 70-200, the 35-150 is amazing for those longer shots and much more usable throughout the day than a 70-200 would be
@@learningcameras i have just bought Sony a7 iii
And i am looking for my first lens
Do u think that it is the best choice as a wedding photographer
And thanks alot ❤️
I am going to purchase the Tamron 35-150m F2.8-F4 DSLR Version of this lens for both the Canon and Nikon mounts
Dan, are you still using this lens? At about 2K budget, I'm struggling between this one and the Sony 135mm GM prime. Other than the obvious differences, as long as the autofocus is decent in video and it is as sharp as you've experienced, I'm really kind of leaning towards the Tamron for it's zoom flexibility. First world problems for sure!
Hey, I do still use and love the lens although I don't use it quite as often just because of the size. I do find the lens gives the quality of a prime lens so only get the 135 if the size/weight of the 35-150 is going to be an issue in your bag. I love the 135 but I tend to bring that focal length with me even less unless I know in advance I'm definitely going to use it. It's a great lens but it has kind of a niche purpose for me so even when I use it, it's a small subset of my shots. Definitely first world problems haha
@@learningcameras Thanks for the response! I made up my mind over the weekend and will go with the Tamron (after watching a few dozen other videos on it LOL). Take care.
@@TomNguyen Awesome! Hope you enjoy...it's an awesome lens
UA-camr Wes Perry reviewed the older Tamron 28-75 f2.8 G1 (9/3/2020) and the Tamron 70-180 2.8 (8/27/2020), and he had issues with the Tamron lenses not performing as well as native lenses with respect to eye autofocus and face tracking, and real-time tracking when the subject turned away from the camera. His comments are at the 5:48 mark of the 28-75 review and the 11:47 mark of the 70-180 review. Are you seeing any of those issues on the Tamron 35-150?
Also, some people report that the non-native lens’s max out at 15 fps burst rates on the fast Sonys, e.g., a9, a9ii, and a1. Have you seen any sign of that on the Tamron 35-150?
The burst rate part is definitely true. Even some Sony lenses are limited to 15fps. And AF performance at those speeds, compared to Sony glass, is lacking. I’ve shot sports with the 70-180 on an a9 and that is my first hand experience.
@@llStixxll Thanks Slim Jim. I would also be shooting sports on an a9. I appreciate your first hand feedback.
@@freeadrian1144 You’re welcome! I would definitely recommend Sony glass for more reliable focusing at high speeds but third party glass can get you about 80% of the way there. If Sony glass was 95% reliable, the Tamron was maybe 70% in the same conditions (while shooting 5 less fps)
@@llStixxll Thanks for your observations, Jim. It sounds like the differences between native and non-native glass aren’t huge, but they are noticeable. I’m not a pro, so I suppose the differences might be acceptable. I’m thinking about renting some lenses to experience the differences myself. Thanks!
Do u know the best ZOOM lens for the eos 250d plz ?
If your on a budget go for 55-250 canon stm
Hmmm I might sell my Sony 24-105 f4 and pick this up. Great focal coverage.
As long as I have my 16-35 or a 24mm prime, I rarely use my 24-70mm or 24-105
I just bought this lens❤️
Awesome!!! Hope you like it as much as I do lol
Until what focal length is the f2?
42mm exactly
Lenses like these make me want to switch from Lumix FF to Sony FF. Just kidding. I'll just hope and wish they make this in the L-mount or that Sigma makes something similar. Till then it's primes and the 24-70. Lol.
I have used Tamron Zoom lens a lot. My first one on my Nikon D 40 was 18-270 mm. loved the reach. Sharp. Today I have the Nikon Z 7 w the Tamron 18-400 mm . So sharp and nice. I have a problem. I would like the Tamron People to know there are NIkon Z cameras out there. I don't want to use the FTZ adapter. My pictures are sharp. No problems. I love the Tamron lens. But hey Tamron. Wake up.
If it were 28-135mm it would be a dream lens. 28mm I can workwith but 35mm is just not wide angle it is natural angle as you said, so it would be my 70-200 but not 24-70 or 28-75
So let's assume you already own a 16-35 to cover the real wide angle...why do you need a 24-70?
@@learningcameras i like when bottom is at least 28mm without the need o change lenses. Getting 35-150 forces you to carry both uwa and this unless you treat it more as telephoto rather than midrange lens. With 24-70 you can take either 16-35 or 24-70 depending on the location. Its more about travel light kind of idea I guess.
So all in all it doesn't cover use case of 24-70 fully but it is indeed use casr of 70-200 easily
My setup would be 16-35, 28-135, 100-400 if 28-135 f2.8 existed. Maybe even 24-105 f2.8 would be ok. I like uwa to have whatever i need
What lens is the first part filmed on? Beautiful bokeh
Sony 50mm F1.2 and yes, absolutely beautiful bokeh on that
how long did you have to wait before you got this lens??
I ordered it almost immediately from B&H and mine shipped almost a month after. It looks like delays on everything is much worse now than they were in October last year so who knows. Between the chip shortage and supply chain issues, it's been crazy trying to get stuff. Manufacturers are prioritizing products
Awesome! Been waiting for mine since November last year from B&H. No indication on time frame. Cannot wait!
hehe too much bass in the post processing... it literally distorts my speakers.
I'd either leave your audio alone (if you're boosting bass) or add a vocal enhance eq filter
Now if only they would actually be in stock!
Seriously! There are quite a few things I need in stock right now lol
What camera do you use for the pictures on this Video? Thanks!!
My images are taken with the A7IV ua-cam.com/video/DFW-2YCOIM0/v-deo.html
@@learningcameras Thanks..🙏🏻
I've been researching Sony Cameras for the past month and if there is one lense that I would buy - in fact, I would only buy one lense - it would be this one. Coupled with an iPhone 13 for wide shots and an insta 360 for weird shots, what more could you want in life?
Something much smaller and lighter that shoots at f2 at all focal lengths.
I love how at 7:25 of the video it says "Sigma 35-150mm" - we get you Dan. We all agree that it looks more like a Sigma rather than a Tamron.
Hahahaha. In my defense, I was testing a Sigma lens while making these graphics which in hind sight was a bad idea
@@learningcameras Hahahah, you do not need to defend yourself, sir. Mistakes happen and I actually happened to have loved it.
Your video text at 7:17 says Sigma not Tamron. Great video though and definitely a lens on my list. Thanks.
It is impossible to find it in Thailand 🇹🇭 wish I could buy it
How well does this do without a tripod?
I use it with the built in IBIS without an issue
Now that the RS3 Pro has come out, what do you think about putting this on an Alpha 1 and using it as a primary camera for remote operation, say, on the back of a car?
Subscribed!
Appreciate it!
Is that for mirrorless only ?
Yep, this only works for Sony's mirrorless E mount right now
could you balance that combo on rs3 mini?
Definitely not. It's not about the weight, it's about how much adjustment there is. At some point you would have to start adding counterweights to offset the lens weight
i wonder if Sony is going to come with its own G lens version
Yeah and maybe in a bit more usable range like 28-135. I am not the biggest fan of 28 but I can work with it, its fine for outside
I have the 24-105 f/4 OSS G Lens. I do mostly photography (virtually no video). All things considered, in your opinion, is this lens good enough that I should consider replacing my 24-105 with it?
I came here to do the same question
@@fshirata I have both the Sony G 24-105 f4 and now the Tamron 35-150 f2-2.8. Optically the Tamron is much better than 24-105, IQ-wise it feels much closer to my 35mm 1.4GM than the Sony zoom. IQ is fantastic. However, next to the 24-105 it feels gigantic. MUCH heavier and larger and definitely much less conformable to use over extended periods, after 1h shooting my kids the hand that holds the lens got sore.
Another thing to consider is that the Tamron is really mediocre when it comes down to magnification, also not mentioned in reviews, but at longer focal lenghts it becomes soft for closer objects (1-2m away) wide open, you need to close it down to achieve maximum sharpness. For far objects it's fine.
