The photos from the charcoal factory are amazing. Thanks for the review, Bobby!
Thanks! Was fun to photograph there
Thanks Bobby - nice summary of the two. I've been wondering as I bought the Nikkor 17-28 2.8 (likely the G1 Tamron) - not sure if Tamron is making a G2 yet, but it occurred to me that when they did, it would now be available for Nikon. Truthfully, for the limited use case that I have with this lens, I doubt I would get the new one - especially for a 5-7% improvement as the one I have is pretty good as it stands.
Still, I am a huge Tamron proponent - had many of their lenses in the DSLR days with my D750 and I think they make great products - whether OEM or rebadged as NIkon - although I suspect now that Nikon is allowing them to make lenses for the Z mount that we will not see future rebadges of their lenses from Nikon - who knows?
-PD
I've become a Tamron believer. I use Tamron for video in Sony. I would love to do the same with Nikon. Love all the Tamron because I like the 67mm filter size. Great for video guys. I also like shooting handheld weddings on a fx3 and it pairs well.
Indeed. Solid for video work
It’s actually been almost 2 years since the Tamikon 28-75 came out on Z, and the Tamron G2 came out on Sony about the same time. I almost wonder if Tamron agreed to wait to release the G2 version on Z mount as part of the arrangement with Nikon’s 28-75.
My timing for the release was a bit off on the Nikkor. Yes I think there was an agreement made especially since the G2 was out for Sony for some time
@@btonelli So by your reckoning when would the 70-180 G2 be out for nikon Z ? that's the range i really like and i hope that it can accept TC! BTW informative , nice , quick and to the point review. So you are not just a pretty face ! ;-)
I am looking at getting either the Tamron G2 or the Nikkor 28-75. Currently the Nikkor is on sale for less than the Tamron - would it be better to go with the Nikkor or stick to the updated Tamron G2?
Well according to the specs the G2 is slightly better. But this depends on you and your preferences. Would you prefer to have a “Nikkor” branded lens or Tamron? If brand is more important go with the Nikkor lens. If you feel the price increase is justified then go with the Tamron. To be honest the differences are minimal, just more on personal preference
@@btonelli thanks :) I'm not brand specific, already have a tamron lens as my primary!
@@Rockysfosters then can consider the G2 :)
Tamron should be faster focusing than Nikkor. Nikon replaced the linear motor Tamron used in their lenses (VXD) to its own slower stepping motor.
@@USGrant21st perhaps but also there is firmware that helps as well
I agree about rendering. I have S lenses and have Tamron 28-75mm and rebranded Tamron (17-28mm) and personally, while S lenses are super sharp, there's something about those Tamron files that makes them pleasing to the eye.
I recently got the sony version ( long story ), but I've the megadap etz21 adapter and it works great on my Nikon Z8 as well as an older sony A7rii henc the adapter. But Tamron's tolerances are so crazy it is a pain at times talking if of to swap out cameras, not that happens very much, but it only happens with this lens not with other Tamron models that I checked out in my local camera store. But great its a great little lens.
Thanks Bobby!
Any time!
Just brought a ZF. I know which primes I want , Problem is now how to fill out my zooms. I had Tamron with my D600 great for the price mostly camera lens communication issues rarely . Tried the Nikon Z 28-400 in store ,24-120 earlier & 70-180 too , not the 28-75 yet of either. So much choice & probably before I buy a 70-180 G2 as well
The 28-75 will suit the Zf well in regards to size. It’s compact and light enough to compliment the camera
Nikon Z 70-180 is 6 months old in catalog, Tamron will not get a release on Z mount until 2-3 years
@@gilgameshuruk2644 Nikon Z 70-180 is on sale with a large discount, which tells me that Tamron 70-180 G2 in z-mount is going to appear this summer.
@@USGrant21ststill waiting...
I love my Nikon 28-75 but I don't think it is worth upgrading for. I wouldn't mind a fast wide prime though.
It’s honestly not a big upgrade
Maybe is Tamron limited to 10 fps in continuous shooting mode?
Not sure. Need to test that over the Nikkor version
i think the z8 in general is a little too sharp, almost 3D but in an unpleasant way. this lens is insane, though. more than enough to cover nearly all bases unless you need extreme telephoto like wildlife or sports.
Yes it does. This can be adjusted in the respective profile to reduce sharpness, but out of the box it’s very sharp
3:07 that poor puppy needs some serious saving. Hope someone actually helps him.
Yes. Agree. His mom was around the site as well
Does Sony really handicap 3rd party lenses?
Yes. They limit burst mode frames per second and also for some cameras maximum shutter speed. See the A9III for example
@@btonelli yikes glad I never personally purchased into their systems outside of some of their points and shoots and camcorders early on. The DSLRs had focus issues and the mirrorless didn't agree with my hands ergonomically.
@@MB-dq2gz now they are industry leaders and their lenses are some of the better options. I understand some limitations but it’s unfortunate for the sports and wildlife photographers they can’t maximise third party lenses for the faster cameras
@@btonelli That doesn't affect 95% of users out there, who don't own an A9 and A1. I shoot Tamron 35-150 on my A9 shoot wedding and tennis photography.
While it may not affect some it still needs to be acknowledged and highlighted that if one wants maximum performance out of their Sony camera these limitations should be known.
WHAT ABOUT THAT STRAY PUPPY? 😢
Yes. This was heartbreaking to see. So to give some context, at the charcoal factories there are a number of dogs and the puppy’s mother was there. I was told they do get fed but the next time I go there I’m bringing a big bag of dog food for all of them to eat. It was very hard to see. Unfortunately I live in Singapore and not in Malaysia where this location is at so I’m not allowed to bring the dog home. Also this place is very far out from anything so no shelters around.
please dont make subtitles in the video itself, if i want them i can turn them on youtube, if i cant its just really annoying, thanks
Some people ask who don’t speak English as their main language.
The Truth About Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 G2 is that I didn't like it. Since it was on sale ($200 off) I decided to try it with Megadap on Nikon. First thing becomes obvious that AF is pretty bad, it's slow and it has a tendency to backfocus. The lens is sharp at the short end, but at the long end it's much softer, quite average I would say. Also optically, both Tamron at 75mm and Nikon 24-70 at 70mm show exactly the same image size. Probably Tamron is actually 70mm and becomes 75mm due to cropping when corrected for distortions. I found Tamron's bokeh ugly, not always but enough to be annoying. Bottom line, after shooting with both Tamron and Nikon, I returned Tamron.
Understand. It’s not a big upgrade to be honest so definitely not a must have
That must be this adapter, I have no issues whatsoever with AF with my Z mount 28-75mm.
