- Is it a Tamron with a Nikon, or is it a Nikon with a Tamron? Neither! It's a great performing solid lens for portraits, events, landscapes, whatever you want to use it for. Focus on what matters most to you!

I like how you said if it’s a lens that you need and aren’t concerned about the edges, then this lens is for you. I like how you feel like this lens is a good general work horse to get the shots you need!
I love it. Own it use it all the time.
I LOVE that you showed pictures from this camera and focused on those, instead of a side by side comparison! Like you said - if the pictures look good then that's what matters! I don't need to over-think and second-guess my descission. That's what everone elses videos are for!
I've owned the Tamron off and on over two decades and while there was some sample variation, it was a solid lens each time. This last one I've kept the longest because it's the sharpest so far. Will definitely look for this Nikon version eventually.
Great review . I generally shoot with Canon and I am a event and portrait shooter. Recently had to rent equipment and rented a z9 with this lens. Perfect and powerful kit. Quick focus, sharp rendering and colors. Nikon shooters got nothing to complain about. Plus really good value. You get the critical focal length. Excellent practical review keep doing your thing👍🏽
That you 🙏🏾
Great review! Nice real world use examples and practical guidance about where the value of this lens can be found. For people looking for a high quality, fully compatible, Z lens with the flexibility f2.8 allows for half the cost of an S Line 24-70 f2.8, it is excellent value. The S Line f2.8 lens pricing is consistent with what it delivers (and its competitors), but many viewers of the images produced will not be able to tell the difference. it is interesting to me so many early "observers" stated they were confused about Nikon's decision to release a lens like this. For anyone getting started with putting together a fully functional system camera kit, it reinforces the already high "value for money" characteristic of the Z system. An excellent marketing decision.
Thank you very much and very well said!
I just got this because though I could afford the 24-70 2.8, I just couldn't justify the price premium because I don't use that range often enough. To add to your review: it also works good (enough) for low light live work, shooting a small stage in a club with very mediocre lighting. It's not going to be the best lens ever, but certainly not the worst either. Absolutely totally completely agree with your view 'if it gets the job done and fits your budget, it's the right lens'. Excellent review!
Thanks so much 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Well done review. Very clear and helpful. BTW nice shots. The brown dress high contrast shoot seemed to come out great. Thanks for the heads up Ike
Excellent video! I’m sold with this. I need the 2.8, and I can’t afford the 24-70 at this time. I look forward to your next video! Keep ‘em coming.❤️
To begin with, excellent review; second, it's encouraging to see Nikon provide affordable choices that perform well, providing excellent value for money for those on a budget restriction or new to photography who are afraid to make large purchases due to a lack of understanding.
Thank you very much 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Excellent review, Its very few channels talking about Nikons. I really enjoyed your seeing this video. I have old NIkons but I am getting back into the game. with the Z9 as my hobby again. Thanks for sharing !
Thank you very much 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I love the lens- my go-to in the studio. Honestly for fashion/portrait I rarely shoot at 24mm- too much distortion (and if I want to go wide for perspective effects then I head to my 17-35 anyway ... 24 isn't wide enough!) And having 75mm at the long end means I feel less need for my 85. This lens focuses fast and close so I and my models can move freely as I shoot too. Great 'bargain' Len!!
Thank you very much!
Great video Ike! I have the Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 for my a7riii and it works amazingly! Not a bad template to use for creating or re-badging a lens.
Honestly, this was an amazing video. Being predominantly a fashion and portrait photographer whenever I'm looking for new gear it gets frustrating sitting through hundreds of videos talking about corner sharpness and how it compares to top of the line gear when pixel peeping. But you actually showing a real world scenario and how this lens applies to your work was just what I needed. Not having the money atm to afford the 24-70 f/2.8 but needing a fast lens for my work (this includes concerts) I've been considering getting the tamron 24-70 or this one but just the fact it's native is making me sway into the 28-75 direction. Also thank you for supplying your raw files!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Thank you. I’m thinking of renting this lens again before I buy it to shoot a wedding this weekend that I plan on vlogging. So be on the look out for that video next week as well!
@@Photomeike Definitely will lookout for that!
@@Photomeike would you like share this wedding video ? tks!
Thanks man!! Always right to the point! Sealed the deal for me!
Loved my Z5 when I shot Nikon. Their lenses are light and sharp. Good to see them coming out with more and more Z mount options.
I agree 100 percent! Thanks a lot man!
Perfect review...straight to the point, great visuals and images, will most likely get this lens at some point
Glad it was helpful!
I may purchase this for my travel camera or work horse lens. Thanks for the videos man! You’ve been a huge reason why I picked up a Nikon Z5.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 I hope you are enjoying it!
Thank you man, as a portrait photographer this was the review I needed. You got a sub out of me man. I can't wait to scoop this up in a few days.
Thanks alot 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
great video Ike!
would love to see a 24-70 2.8 v 28-75 comparison!!
I'll think on it in the future - saving for the Z9 first.
Appreciate the review - TY
Liked the honesty in the video as usual 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thanks Joseph!
great work bro!!! Always right to the point!
Appreciate it!
Very straightforward review. Thanks for showing the elephant in the room to be a distraction that is at best part of the analysis of the lens. Looks like a great choice for events.
Told you I was waiting for this review. I think you sold me on it Ike. This will check the block until I can decide on other lenses in the lineup. Thank you sir.
Glad I could help. And it's on sale right now for $200 off!
Man you and I both! Thanks Isaiah 😆🤣😂
Awwww man... thank you for doing this Ike... the 2k on the 24-70 S 2.8 is heartbreaking... I am definitely sold on this lenses. Since switching to the Z mount and moving to the S lenses I kinda miss the feel of the Tamron 24-70 G2 2.8 on my D750. So I'm really glad about this. The Tamron doesn't perform as well adapted on the Z mount as it did on the F and there's a noticeable lag when shooting with is as compared to the S-Line lenses I have. However, I too was skeptical about this lenses after all the initial naysaying. So again, thanks for this and doing it in your usual Ike-ish way. ✌️ ✌️ ✌️
Thanks for watching man! I’m glad you found it helpful! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This is what I wanted to hear. I have used the 24-70 2.8 S and it had some issues on my Z6II. This is a more affordable option for me since I do photography on the side and it's not my main hustle. I can see this having a wide rage of uses on my next trip or family photo shoot. Keep striving!
Thank you very much! I’m glad you found this review helpful!
Hi, I would like to know what issues you had with the Z6 II.
@Ravin Chandra hey Ravin! I don't know if the issue was camera or lens related, but the 28-70S would have this strange blur around the subject. Not bokeh, but a weird look too it. The camera works well with every other lens except that one. Hope this helps.
I love my Tamron lenses. Im rockin the 24-70G2, 70-200G2 and the 17-35 2.8/4.
Awesome review, but we need that Z9 review as well man! Hook the people up!
Solid review. Nikon def took the Tamron design and improved it where they could, like better coatings and maybe some better quality glass, full AF compatibility and silent AF. It was already a great lens, but as a Nikon it's a step above.
Agreed!
Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for the review!
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I own the 24-70 f4. I would still consider buying this lens for events and use the f/4 for landscape. Yes I would like to see a comparison between the 2.
Thats what I'm trying to decide on, which one to choose 😅
I agree with you 100% and I’m very happy with my purchase. With the £1300 that I saved I put this towards a 50mm 1.2 and that’s a win win in my opinion 😀👍
Thanks for sharing
Great Video & Good info!!
Thank you for this review!!!! :) It was great! If you had a choice between this lens and the 24-70mm f/4 Which would you choose for family portraits? Which has better bokeh? Thank you!
Great review bro. Great work Thank you. Lens looks good.
Thanks for watching!
Aint no denying that 28-75 e mount by tamron! But this would easily suffice as an alternative to the 24-70! Great video.
Thanks a lot brodie bro!
Great video brotha you’re always on point 👍🏾
Appreciate that
Good review. Great for someone just getting started.
Glad you think so!
Just a great lens, I have used it in quite a few indoor sporting events with poor lighting and my shots have come out great every time. I honestly don't know why you would spend the extra $1000 on the S lens 24-70 f2.8 when this fills the gap.
Thank you very much for your input 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Hello Ike,
I really liked your review! You were straight to the point and this is all out of the field experience with no pixel peeping. I am thinking about getting a 2.8 standard zoom for dark venue events, because my Z6II is struggling with lowlight focusing on f4 (I am using 24-120 for most of my stuff, paired with 70-200). I am torn between getting an used 24-70g lens, getting this one or maybe getting a prime, although for business events zooms are much more handy. I have used 35mm z lens on the dance floor once, and I was amazed how good the focusing is on the Z6II is!
Anyhow thanks for the review, I think I am one step closer to making a decision. I am sure that 24-70s lens is the best there is, but for that price I could get a couple of lenses...
Best regards!
For sure! Thank you very much!
great summary, thanks!
Looks like good value for the Z system. I'll be picking this up. I have the 24-70 F4 but I would like the wider aperture without breaking the bank.
Same!
Oh that's first time i know these lens thanks alot for that. It really helps and make me want to get it
You are welcome and thank you 🙏🏾
Those colors are just wow
Agreed!
Hell... Looks good to me.. I think it's going in my shopping cart :) Thanks for the video.
Thank you for watching! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
It does look like a good lens. I am very tempted
Amazing video! Would love the comparison video of the 24-70
Thank you! I will work on it some day!
Great review, thanks!
Thank you!
very helpful thanks!
So cool bro! Tnx
Nicely done and nicely stated.
Thanks man!
I just got my lens last week. I've owned the Tamron 28-75 for Sony, and I'd say it's pretty much a copy of it, BUT that's not necessarily a bad thing. With the current rebate, it's definitely worth it, considering the what you get.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 This guy gets it!
Is the Nikon version softer? Or equally as Sony?
Great review I feel better watching this video I just bought this same lens today hoping I did a good investment.
Thanks! Have a look around my channel. You’ll see plenty of content where I use that lens with great results!
Great video as usual. I've already spent the money on the f2.8 and wish I've seen this coming before hand. But a comparison video between all 3 would be dope.
Matt Erwin has that video

@@Romjan27 Thanks a ton! 🙏🏾
@@RejeRush my pleasure brother!
Yesssss Indeed bro
Awesome video, are you carrying this lens for your pro work? Looks amazing
Yes! In the video you just saw I used it for an engagement session. I have also used it for a wedding and several other photo shoots that I have done on this channel!
Love your work and your vids. Why not get the 24-120 f4 for $100 or so more? Would you find it better to have more zoom or would you prefer the wider aperture? Thanks!
Wider aperture. The 24-105 is a great walk around or travel lens. But for my job/work I prefer the option of the wider aperture over the longer focal length
This lens looks good and has a real good price point. Although not the same, I loved my Tamron g2 24 - 70 f2.8 but using it with the FTZ on my z6 was WAY too heavy so I got rid of it and have been using cheaper primes so may have to get this
And it's on sale for $999 at the moment!
We in the same boat @k3n12ock
I literally relate exactly to this i’ve been dreading the tamron on the z6 🥲
Thaks from Barcelona
Thank you 🙏🏾
Nice work bro
Thanks 🔥
Cleannnnn. Lets go !
Thanks man!
Love this lens
Me too!
Always good info...
I'm still mad Tamron or Sigma haven't come out with anything for the RF mount... Or maybe it's Can I should be mad at. 😂
Thanks 👍
Yo it’s you…nice to meet your from the live stream I was just looking at this lens at my camera store. But no option to rent.
Ayyyee you made it!
@@Photomeike yeah, I’m here and subscribed.
As for comparisons, I'd like to see this lens vS the 24-70 f4 seeing as their price points are pretty close
It's currently on sale. So I may go ahead and buy it and work on it!
Would you recommend this lens combined with the z50 for fashion and portraits?
Yes!
how is for sports photography. since i am sports photographer. also love watching your video to learn stuff i do not shoot all time
Well as you can see the focus is fast and accurate which are two of the most important things for sports photography!
Great review. How does this lens work with the Nikon Z5?
It works great.
Who's the amazon queen that's what I want to know? 😁....great video bro.
👀👀👀
I already have the 24-70 2.8 S lens, but definitely recommending this one to one of my 2nd shooters.
As far as rebranding, I say bring it. Anything to bring more lenses to the system and quickly at that.
Love that portrait of the couple in between that block wall, by the way.
Solid lens, great real-life review
Thanks man!
Dope review bro, I was definitely thinking about buying this lens to replace my Tamron 24-70 g2! After watching this seriously considering it now! But my only problem is I hardly use my 24-70 so that's what's really holding me back from upgrading!
Yeah that makes sense. No need in spending money on a lens that you probably won’t use as much!
There is a 16-28 tokina that works on the FTZ adapter. I own and use it
Yeah but I don’t want to adapt 😭😭😭
I wanted to get my hands on a Tamrom 24-70 28 G2 but when I was shopping the nikon 28-75 2.8 popped out.. Can you help me decided? I shoot with a nikon z7. Thank you.
Get the 28-75. The reason I say that is because I’d rather buy native Z mount lenses as much as possible. If I can avoid using an adapter then I’m all for it.
Thank u Bro 👌 Go ahead & please make a video on the comparison of this lense with Nikon Z 24 - 70 mm 👍
Which one lol? All of them?
@@Photomeike No bro 😊 I meant to say the comparison between Nikon z 28 - 75 2.8 & Nikon Z 24-70 2.8
I just downloaded the raw files and it is a bargain lens...really good...for someone broke like me this is the lens...
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Looks like a great event or portrait zoom lens.
I agree 1000 percent!
Perfect 👍🏾
Thank you 🙌
🤩
What's the name of the monitor on your camera?
Atomos Ninja V - bhpho.to/3uJZ87h
I'm researching this lens to see if it renders 45mp fine... and from what I've been able to find out, Nikon outsources the manufacturing to Tamron. However, Nikon provides glass and electronics. So in the end it's a little of both it's a tamron and a nikon lens.
If you hit the link and download the RAW files you can see how they look for yourself! It’s an amazing lens for the price.
I'm looking for the video of the wedding you shot with this lens....
It’s the latest video that I uploaded!
It technically cost more than the tamron version but goes on sale quite often
#Photo-Me-Ike How do you rate this lens. Is it worth, for example, to sell the 35mm and 50mm S and buy this one zoom?
You that is more of a creative decision than a quality one in my opinion. If you only do portraits and don’t shoot weddings or events. Then I think the 35 and 50 primes are cool to keep. But if you also shoot events and weddings then the 28-75 will provide a lot more utility IMO.
this is a step in the right direction for Nikon. the price is valid. the output is valid. it might be time for me to leave fuji and come back home to Nikon.
We welcoming you with open arms!
I plan to buy this lens nikon 28-75z is it better than sigma 24-70 f2.8 art for sony? tks so much
No it’s not better than the Sigma. But I love it and own it and I would buy it again over the Sigma.
@@Photomeike Can I ask more, it can be equal or much worse than sigma lens
As far as image quality they are equal in my opinion.
@@Photomeike Tks so much i so happy
That sure looked like Glazers. Are you in Seattle too?
Tacoma actually... Welcome to the channel!
looks like Glazers in Seattle!
Yes!
Ok in the used market would you do this for $750 or the 24-70 2.8 for $1550?
Yikes that’s tough. If I could get the 24-70 f2.8S for $1550 and it was in great condition. I would probably spring for it cause that’s a great deal.
@@Photomeike yea hood looking. I think long term I will be happier with the 24-70 but damn they both great prices.
@@Photomeike Ike I got the 28-75. That 24-70 is still out there. I took a look at the lens and besides not having the hood it’s new. I can email you or post the information on here. I just don’t want somebody to snake you if you want it. He is Dallas and does a lot of business on line. Oh yea since it’s online no tax. Which is great!!!
It wouldn't be the worlds best selling lens if it wasn't good
Very well spoken!
I came for a review on the lens and ended up falling in love with the girl in the brown outfit haha
🤣🤣🤣🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
but if they can rebadge their 70-200...
Exactly!
