I got this lens for almost 6 months. It is simply f-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c! Christopher, your review on Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 VC is very good. Very nice review! Thanks a lot.
This is my first third party lens and it's VERY good. I have several L glass including the 16-35 f2.8L ii, 24-70 f2.8L ii, 70-200 f2.8L ii, 35mm 1.4L and the 85mm 1.2L and this Tamron 15-30 is FOR SURE on par with them in regards to optics, build quality, features and focusing motor speed/accuracy. I small issue I had is a slight decentering in that the right side is a little bit softer compared to the left, which leads me to another point of Tamron's 6 year warranty and guaranteed 3 day turn around period.
For anyone getting this for video, check out the Haida rear mount, 4-filter ND system. It's amazing and doesn't add any bulk or weight, as it mounts directly behind the lens mount.
@@1EyedJack51 Hey, Mike here again from a different account - it was just OK. It's annoying because it's not a variable ND filter, but if you can look past that, it's fine. If your lighting is changing throughout the day, it'll be a real pain in the pass because you'll have to change your aperture instead of ISO if it's too bright outside. I've gotten rid of the 15-30 a couple of years ago and would never go back. Sharpness was abysmal, and I kept getting a mount error on my old RP. Super agitating.
Joseph Kerollos Digital Rev is not as technical and comprehensive, but damn is it entertaining. I love getting the best of both worlds and stay subbed to both.
Thank you for your reviews - really informative and well done. I rented this lens recently. I didn't realize how heavy 1.1kg would be in a lens! I found that the zoom ring zoomed smoothly until about 16 or 17mm and had a bit of a stiff bump to get to 15mm. The VC is great! I managed handheld night shots with this lens (1/5s easy).
I recently purchased a Canon 16-35mm f/4 IS L lens and this is making me question my decision. I'd love to see a comparison. Both lenses are priced identically.
+TheForge10 Because Canon 16-35mm f4L IS is sharper. It's sharp from corner to corner at f4. At 24mm, it's even sharper than 24mm prime. And you can add filter on its front end is also a plus. You can compare the corner sharpness at f4 between the two lenses here: www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/ISO-12233-Sample-Crops.aspx?Lens=949&Camera=453&Sample=0&FLI=0&API=0&LensComp=986&CameraComp=453&SampleComp=0&FLIComp=0&APIComp=2
GreatKeny yep and its got a sharp price. Alsoimperfections on the Tamrion can be fixed in lightroom and Photoshop. So who gives a rates fucking arse. Jo public wont know or care that he Canon is sharper at f4.
+TheForge10 Most of time, you use a wide angle lens to shoot landscapes, so who gives the aperture a "fucking arse". For me at least, the extra stops of aperture for a super wide lens is not quite important compared to being able to add a filter. I am not saying Tamron is a bad lens. It is a fantastic lens. I just don't think it's superior than Canon 16-35mm f4 in practice, which in my opinion is the best wide angle zoom lens out there (yep, better than Canon's f2.8). Also, it's $200 bucks cheaper than the Tamron lens and only half the weight (which is also quite important for a landscape lens).
I've got mine since 4 weeks. You will be surprised by the results...;-) Don't forget to update your software for your camera to match both in the best way. No chromatic aberration and super sharp pictures...
+Rui Silva 10-18 is a fantastic lens but unfortunately there is a problem which is very low diaphragm range of as its f4.5 that causes limited ability to tack a shoot indoor .I`ve got this lens and Im having alot of fun with that as much as outdoor than indoor. Also you`ll need ''camera raw'' version 9.1 to edit photos that you`ve tacken in the raw format as well as light room version 5.7 or up.
Great review as always. After 12+ months of casual use, I happen to love and hate this lens. Love the performance hate the bulkiness/weight so I carry it less than I would prefer. I guess I'm just a prime kinda guy. I would have sold this long ago if it wasn't for the fact that the images are THAT GOOD.
Would you say the images are comparable to canons 16-35 f2.8 L III lens? Also, I read that this lens is prone to suffer from focus shifting when the lens is at its widest aperture capturing subjects close to the lens, have you noticed that anomaly with this lens at all?
Just bought this lens. Was very unhappy with my Rokinon 14mm f2.8 as it came with sticky aperture flange (Nikon) which made timelapse impossible. After "repair" it had TERRIBLE coma. No idea what they did to mess it up, but it's badddd. So far the Tamron is working amazing. Not cheap, not light, but FANTASTIC.
I've found that Tamron's zoom rings are extremely stiff from the factory but tend to really smooth out over time and usage. Great review as usual. I need one of these for some real estate photography.
I like very little distortion it has at 15mm. My canon 17-40mm at 17mm has a lot of distortion in the edges... this would be great for landscape photography.
It looks like a very nice lens, but is on the expensive side. There is a hole in the budget wide zoom lens market - there are several budget conscious and reasonable quality constant f/2.8 wide zooms for APS-C crop sensor cameras, but nothing I'm aware of for full frame in what I would call a budget price. I only have an APS-C body currently, but am hoping to add a full frame to the kit soon - it would be nice if there was a reasonable quality wide zoom in the 16 to 18mm through to 50mm range, with a constant f/2.8 and for full frame, but at a budget price.
If you're on APS, you're probably better with the sigma. I have one, love it, and it allows me to use a circular polarizer, which is quite useful for sunny days and for landscape photography. IMHO, the worst point of this tamron is not allowing easily the use of filters, especially circular polarizers, which are a must for wide angles
Hi there. Thanks for reviewing the lens. I am an ameuter photographer and just bought a 7d mark2 and was looking for lenses to expand my collection. I wanted to know which lens should I buy - Tamron 24-70 f2.8 or 15-30??? What pictures to expect from Both these lenses!! Is canon coming with 24-70 with IS??
I know thi is quite a long time ago Christopher but did you have any serious issues hunting for focus in AF mode? I am currently having many problems with my Tokina 16-28 Opera and I value your judgement highly
Hi Christopher..I should mainly with the Sigma 24-104 F/4 on my 6D. (Have some cheapish lenses to complement that, including some arcane Russian and Japanese lenses from the 60s) I'm looking for a little something extra in the ultra-wide department and I'm a bit torn between this lens and the Sigma 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 II DG HSM (I'm planning a trip to Bali and Maluku and I want to bring back home some nice pictures). Which of the two would you bring along? (if any?)
hey i have enough information now about photography and i really appreciate everything you have done for me. well i have notice f1.8 is better but i'm going to try out a few lenses tomorrow at my buddy house and see how good it does on my old camera the 10.1 megapixel one. i'm going to buy the canon 50mm from amazon and deal with that for awhile and then i will look at the tamron 35-150 i heard a lot of good things about that lens and then i heard good things about the tamron 17-35 and i'm also hearing good things about the sigma 18-35. he have a nice camera bag and he have 2 cameras and 4 lenses 1 full frame and 1 crop sensor that's cool. he was showing me the difference between full frame and crop and i love what i'm hearing with the full frame one. but i will definitely buy the canon 80d and the canon 6d and i'm done 3 cameras is all you need and i will see which one i will use the most lol. i already have an tamron 18-200 and i want the tamron 35-150 and the 50mm and the tamron 17-35 and the 10-18 that's 5 lens but i will see which ones i will decide to go with. so with those lenses i mention i want you to tell me what you think about those nices lenses
I have a 70D, so APS-C. But, for city photos, night photos and landscapes 15-30mm becoming 24-48mm looks good on paper for APS-C. I know you say it is throwing money but still, I will have a better quality on the Tamron then I will have on the Canon 17-55mm, in the same range right ? Because I would like to buy the Canon 17-55 at first, but they are practically at the same price. Remains the weight, it will be heavier to carry, I have a BlackRapid but still ?
what is your recommendation, same milimeter but half the budget for a Nikon 7200 mainly used for family gatherings, mostly Indore and tight spaces? I have the tamron 28-75 2,8. but often I feel I need a little wider angel.
+Christopher Frost Photography i looked at my pictures using metadata filters. before I upgraded (from D70s both a kit 18-70 to D7200 with 28-75 2,8) 1/3 of my pic are taken at 28mm or lower and most of this are taken at 18mm. so the question is , witch glas you would recommend that covers that gap , in a lover price range (600$ budget)
There are all kinds of options for you. Tokina do an interesting 12-28mm lens, and Sigma famously have the 18-35 f/1.8 which is also fantastic. Maybe an ultrawide angle lens is the one you need - one that starts at 10mm or so
I'm deciding between the 15-30 tamron and the 16-35mm f/4L IS and I'm pulling my hair out trying to choose the right one and there are 2 things I'm worried about holding me back from the tamron So since the 15-30 retracts inwards when focusing/zooming, will dust be able to get inside easily? Do you find that at all? Or does that never happen? Also is the tamron too heavy to be on a Dslr for long perieds of time? I will be shooting on a tripod but, it seems like might be too heavy to not have a tripod collar, Am I wrong about that as well?
+Mackenzie “in” Japan I don't think the Tamron will really have a dust problem long term. It is a big and heavy lens though. But then again, the Canon 16-35 f/4 is hardly small and light
+Christopher Frost Photography In that case, the Tamron makes a lot more sense to me since its faster and I can use it with my existing LAEA3 adapter. Thanks a lot for your reviews, your format is one of my favorites!
Was sagst du zu Tokina AT-X 16-28mm F/2.8 Pro FX Canon? Würdest du es bevorzugen oder doch dasTamron? Danke für deine Antwort. Alternative wäre canon 16-35 f4 oder 17-40.
I do lot of hiking and landscape photography just for my own satisfaction and not for professional level. I wanted to get a ultra wide angle lens for my Canon T5i. I was thinking about Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM Lens OR Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC USD Lens for canon. Which one would you suggest for me to use? please give your recommendations.
+Anupam Menghal Well the 10-22 is specially designed for APS-C cameras and will give you a much wider angle, so I'd recommend that. Even sharper is the new Canon 10-18mm IS STM
Hey Chris! Did you do a review of the tamron sp 90mm f/2.8 di vc usd macro lens? If so, can you provide the link for that. I haven't seen a video on it. Thank you.
Hi Christopher, great video... :) thanks... By the way, do you know if the Tamron 15-30 G1 which you've reviewed here works with the Canon R? If it works, then I will replace my 6D with the R. If not, I will wait :) cheers
+Christopher Frost Photography What would be your best pick for say 12mm to 20mm zoom range? This is what I am actually looking for. Which would be your take for the best prime... Say sub 16mm ? Thanks!
+Manjeet Singh There aren't any, if you're talking about a full-frame camera lens. If you're talking about crop sensor (APS-C) lenses then take a look at my ultra wide-angle zoom lens comparison video
Hi christopher! Very good work! I was wondering if you could help me to take a decision... For astrophotography, image quality, and video work, do you recommend this tamron 15-30? Or the sigma art 20mm 1.4? Thank you very much!
For doing general photo work (landscapes, seascapes, wide angle shots, pretty much anything to be honest that needs wide angle), and doing video work (would be used for a bunch of different scenarios) would you suggest this, or the Canon 16-35mm f4? Thanks!
@@christopherfrost thanks for all your help. I decided i would go with the Tokina 16-28mm (first gen) for $500 new or the gen 2 for $699 (coming this March 15). This saves me $600 vs the 14-24mm 2.8 and the 15-30mm 2.8 with a little compromise on iq, but for landscape and family gathering its good enough for an enthusiast! Ty keep reviewing lenses pls!
Thanks a lot for your reply! I decided to get the Nikon one but get this baby for my canon system .. you're doing great reviews, truly appreciated .. HAPPY SHOOTING :)!
Hi Christopher, excellent calm and informative reviews that you do, thank you! I need some advice please, I am looking for a lens with IS capability to replace my Canon 17-40 F4L for my 6D. It must have a wide aperture as I mainly photograph Buildings from heights up to 17M using a vehicle mounted pneumatic mast system, which does create camera movement even in a light breeze. My 17-40 at F4 sometimes does not allow the shutter speed in not such good light and I try to avoid high ISO. I was looking at this review and stopped immediately when you mentioned the weight of this lens as it is way too heavy as weight is also a big consideration. Any recommendations would be appreciated given a realistic yet reasonable budget.
Hey chris, do you think this would be a good lens to shoot prom, with a APS-C? (60d) I want to get the Sigma 24 1.4 but I'm still undecided. Any suggestion? Can be prime or zoom lens
This 15-30mm lens is really intended for full-frame cameras so you'd be throwing away money. Try a fast standard zoom lens - I made a comparison video of them
Some comments say it would be a waste of money to shoot with that lens on a crop sensor camera, but I kinda disagree. Yes shooting on full frame would be using the lens to its optimum, but you should still be able to take great photos with the lens on your 700D. In practice the lens becomes a 24-48mm zoom on a crop body, so you gain some reach at the top end of the zoom range, but lose some width at the bottom - you still get the advantage of f/2.8 aperture, along with the quality of the optics. Due to budget plenty of shooters I know only have crop sensor bodies, but full frame lenses - thats how I shoot, and I get no complaints about IQ, and in some instances crop sensor works out better for me. One day I'll partner my APS-C body with a full frame one, and I'll be able to cover more bases with the lens selection I have.
Bro, beautiful but, Does it have a rear screw to put a polarizer filter ? since the most of the users could be landscape photographers. If not, How the heck are you going to match a polarizer filter in the front ?, you are going to spend more money trying to get it.
How is this comapared to the Canon 16-35mm f/4L IS? That Canon is a couple of hundred bucks cheaper...so I am having a hard time chosing between the Tamron and the Canon
Christopher Frost Photography I see. Do you find not being able to put filters on is a deal breaker with the Tamron? I wanted the Tamron for video, with it's VC, but I can't even put a variable ND on it...do you think this is a deal breaker, as someone who does make videos and with such a great channel! :)
Hey, just a quick question. Were both photos from the full frame and aps-c cameras taken from the same location ? Trying to get a perspective on how the 15mm wideness compares. Thanks in advance, love your reviews ! Always so helpful.
Hi Christopher, great videos. If money wasn't an issue, which wide angle lens would you go for for a Canon 80d primarily for video work? Image stabilisation also being a priority. I'm leaning towards the Canon 16-35 f/4 L IS at the moment. Keep up the good work. Ruben.
It depends on whether you need an ultra wide angle lens, or a standard zoom lens. If you can only have one then the 15-85 would obviously be far more versatile
Christopher Frost Photography ya i use 80D crop sensor camera, lack of IS and usable is limited only for crop sensor makes me think again and again for sigma... whereas in tamrom it doesnt have filter thread.. so its confusing to decide. now all i want to know is which lens has better coner to corner sharpness at wide open.
Love your review Christopher. I am thinking to purchase the Tamron15-30mm on my 5D MII but the weight is a big issue while traveling. My alternative will be the Fujifilm XT1 with 10-24mm, can you please advice. Brian.
I really want a wide angle lens however there aren't many built for crop sensor lenses. I have a Nikon D3300 and I can't find any that are quite cheap anywhere :/ It seems pointless getting a full frame lens because it's just like getting an 18-55 which I already have
Hello, Chris and thank you for all of your perfect review job. I have one question about this lens on 15mm. Can you please tell me which lens have a better picture quality: Samyang 14mm F2.8 or this lens on 15mm ? I will be glad if you answer me:-) Thank you.
Thank you for your answer. I did it already before, but I did not see any big difference between this two lens, so I ask you on your opinion, because you have them:-)
Christopher Frost Photography no prob! Thank you for responding! I've been watching your video and you have the A7RII.. have you had experience using an adapted lenses like Canon?. . I'm picking up the new sony A7iii and I'm looking into getting a wide angle lens for Astro photography
Misael David You'll want an electronic adaptor. They at least provide aperture control. Autofocus performance is totally unpredictable - different lenses work differently with different adaptors.
@@stilmotionpicture I have the Sony A7III and I use the Sigma MC-11 adapter with the Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 VC USD for Canon EF mount. I am confirming that it autofocuses perfectly and there are no issues so far. I was also skeptical about the corners and focus. But after the latest firmware updates for Sony A7III, I don't find any problem. Only thing that is bugging me about selling this lens is the weight and no-screw-on filter thing. I feel limited and eyeing on the new Sony FE 24 mm f/1.4 GM lens. It's going to be the most wanted lens for astrophotography.
Hey Christopher, love your videos, however you made a mistake at 5:06 where you said 15mm when you were supposed to say 30mm. But still, keep up with the great videos!
justinlee19971 He also makes the mistake of never telling the equivalent aperture values for crop sensor cameras, which is a bit annoying. Apart from that, his reviews are always excellent! :-)
***** The aperture never changes. It's a physical property of the lens. The opening doesn't magically become 1/4th the focal length because you stick it on a crop sensor camera. Now, depth of field, THAT changes. But not solely because of aperture. It's a derived value (meaning, not a physical property of the lens) based on sensor size, focal length, aperture, and distance to subject all combined. A bit more involved than Mr. Northrup would like to admit.
Le Monarque "The aperture never changes." Neither does the focal length. "The opening doesn't magically become 1/4th the focal length because you stick it on a crop sensor camera." Did you really think I was labouring under such a misapprehension? The apparent aperture changes with the sensor size, just as the apparent focal length. There's no getting around it.
***** The problem is comparing a crop sensor camera with a 30mm lens to a FF camera with a 30mm lens. The focal length is fixed, you're right. But the field of view is different. How many times have you heard or used the property "a longer focal length = narrower depth of field"? All the time, probably. Now, say you've got a 30mm lens on a 6D. You want to compare depth of field on a 60D. Do you stick the 30mm lens on the 60D? No! That would be a flawed comparison because your field of view, and therefore your framing, are different. The only sensible way of comparing a single photo property, in this case DoF, is to make sure all other variables are similar. In this case, that means having the same framing in each shot. That means putting an 18mm lens on the 60D, so that you can have the same field of view and the two cameras can be the same distance to the subject. Now let's repeat that quoted statement again: "a longer focal length = narrower depth of field" What's the 6D at? 30mm. And what's the 60D at? 18mm. Is your framing the same? Yes? Good, it's a valid comparison then. 30mm is a longer focal length than 18mm, right? And what do we say about longer focal lengths above? Ah, that longer focal lengths create a narrower depth of field. That's why depth of field is narrower on FF cameras. There is no such thing as apparent aperture. The variable is field of view, which is always going to use longer focal length lenses on larger sensors when compared to smaller sensors, despite having the same framing. Of course, you can use a faster aperture to make up for the crop sensor disadvantage, but that distracts from the actual reason for why crop sensor cameras have a deeper DoF at equivalent fields of view. It's because you use wider lenses to get that field of view compared to FF bodies.
Le Monarque There is also the matter of less total light gathered because there is less surface area for the total gathered light to hit. Anyway, the end result will be that you multiply the f-value with the crop factor to get the equivalent f-value on a full frame camera. Which is exactly the same as what you do to calculate the equivalent focal length. So, if equivalent focal length is brought up at all, then so should equivalent aperture. That's all I'm saying. If you can show that the effective aperture of an EF lens on an APS-C camera *is not* equivalent to the crop factor multiplied with the lens' actual aperture on a FF camera, by all means do so. I don't mean to be antagonising or to cause strife. I'm only after the truth.
I have this lens and the Sigma 14-24mm DG DN both on Sony, and I think the Tamron is sharper and has less field curvature. I think you are wrong about the Sigma.
+Monsieur Pedda before nikon i was a sony user and before that a canon 50d one. my base lens in canon times was a 17-55 2.8 IS is special designed for crop sensors, it's deadly sharp all focals and has a IS around 2 stops efficiency. and is feather like compared with the tamron. that plus your 70-300 and who needs another lens ?

Damn I am so upset that this lens doesn't go as wide angle for APS-C cameras. The quality is amazing!! Thanks for the review :-)
That is just the nature of APS-C cameras. They will effectively be less wide angled with a lens of any given focal length.
Wow! What a good review :) Very appreciated!
I've found that Tamron's zoom rings are extremely stiff from the factory but tend to really smooth out over time and usage. Great review as usual. I need one of these for some real estate photography.
@turkishexpress: You post is quite old, but just as true for the much newer 35-150mm f2-2.8.
I like very little distortion it has at 15mm. My canon 17-40mm at 17mm has a lot of distortion in the edges... this would be great for landscape photography.
Awaiting delivery in 4 days. Pulled the trigger over the Nikon. Price and no VR....Tamron wins!
It looks like a very nice lens, but is on the expensive side. There is a hole in the budget wide zoom lens market - there are several budget conscious and reasonable quality constant f/2.8 wide zooms for APS-C crop sensor cameras, but nothing I'm aware of for full frame in what I would call a budget price. I only have an APS-C body currently, but am hoping to add a full frame to the kit soon - it would be nice if there was a reasonable quality wide zoom in the 16 to 18mm through to 50mm range, with a constant f/2.8 and for full frame, but at a budget price.
Thanks for addressing distortion! That's was my major concern and many reviews skip it
Great review chris!, Can you review the Tamron 70-200 2,8 vc? thanks
Torn between this and the sigma 18-35mm. 1.8. Upgrading my gear for my 70D
If you're on APS, you're probably better with the sigma. I have one, love it, and it allows me to use a circular polarizer, which is quite useful for sunny days and for landscape photography. IMHO, the worst point of this tamron is not allowing easily the use of filters, especially circular polarizers, which are a must for wide angles
Thanks for a wonderful review. Have you tested IQ at 20mm and 24 mm ?
Hi there. Thanks for reviewing the lens. I am an ameuter photographer and just bought a 7d mark2 and was looking for lenses to expand my collection.
I wanted to know which lens should I buy - Tamron 24-70 f2.8 or 15-30??? What pictures to expect from
Both these lenses!!
Is canon coming with 24-70 with IS??
+Amit Mehta They're totally different lenses. If you want a general purpose lens go for the 24-70 - if you want ultra wide-angle, go for the 15-30 :-)
will the next version of Tampon 24-70mm f2.8 look like this?
+Bernard Lim No idea. It's 'TamRon' - by the way
well if you're prepared to buy 24 or 70 more tampons then yeah :D
Tampon. Hahaha
Your wife uses expensive "gear" mate...
So you would choose this one over Canons 16-35 L lens?
Yeah sure!
I know thi is quite a long time ago Christopher but did you have any serious issues hunting for focus in AF mode? I am currently having many problems with my Tokina 16-28 Opera and I value your judgement highly
Will you review the G2 version of this lens?
Hi Christopher..I should mainly with the Sigma 24-104 F/4 on my 6D. (Have some cheapish lenses to complement that, including some arcane Russian and Japanese lenses from the 60s)
I'm looking for a little something extra in the ultra-wide department and I'm a bit torn between this lens and the Sigma 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 II DG HSM (I'm planning a trip to Bali and Maluku and I want to bring back home some nice pictures). Which of the two would you bring along? (if any?)
I personally would go for the Sigma 12-24. It's smaller and lighter and getting wider shots could be valuable
hey i have enough information now about photography and i really appreciate everything you have done for me. well i have notice f1.8 is better but i'm going to try out a few lenses tomorrow at my buddy house and see how good it does on my old camera the 10.1 megapixel one. i'm going to buy the canon 50mm from amazon and deal with that for awhile and then i will look at the tamron 35-150 i heard a lot of good things about that lens and then i heard good things about the tamron 17-35 and i'm also hearing good things about the sigma 18-35. he have a nice camera bag and he have 2 cameras and 4 lenses 1 full frame and 1 crop sensor that's cool. he was showing me the difference between full frame and crop and i love what i'm hearing with the full frame one. but i will definitely buy the canon 80d and the canon 6d and i'm done 3 cameras is all you need and i will see which one i will use the most lol. i already have an tamron 18-200 and i want the tamron 35-150 and the 50mm and the tamron 17-35 and the 10-18 that's 5 lens but i will see which ones i will decide to go with. so with those lenses i mention i want you to tell me what you think about those nices lenses
Hi Christopher Frost Photography, will you ever review a tilt-shift lens? Hopefully the TS-E17mm f/4L.
I have a 70D, so APS-C.
But, for city photos, night photos and landscapes 15-30mm becoming 24-48mm looks good on paper for APS-C. I know you say it is throwing money but still, I will have a better quality on the Tamron then I will have on the Canon 17-55mm, in the same range right ?
Because I would like to buy the Canon 17-55 at first, but they are practically at the same price.
Remains the weight, it will be heavier to carry, I have a BlackRapid but still ?
Just get the Canon 17-55 :-)
Will do !
I recommend Sigma 17-50, much cheaper yet sharp.
what is your recommendation, same milimeter but half the budget for a Nikon 7200 mainly used for family gatherings, mostly Indore and tight spaces? I have the tamron 28-75 2,8. but often I feel I need a little wider angel.
I don't really understand your question. If you want an ultra wide angle lens for your Nikon 7200 then you'll need something that starts at 10mm or so
+Christopher Frost Photography i looked at my pictures using metadata filters. before I upgraded (from D70s both a kit 18-70 to D7200 with 28-75 2,8) 1/3 of my pic are taken at 28mm or lower and most of this are taken at 18mm.
so the question is , witch glas you would recommend that covers that gap , in a lover price range (600$ budget)
There are all kinds of options for you. Tokina do an interesting 12-28mm lens, and Sigma famously have the 18-35 f/1.8 which is also fantastic. Maybe an ultrawide angle lens is the one you need - one that starts at 10mm or so
+Christopher Frost Photography thanks I'll look in to the toxins and the sigmas
Be careful with those toxins. They might actually hurt you :P
Another excellent review..
CAN YOU MAKE A REVIEW OF THE TAMRON 24-70 PLEASE! I love your reviews! Please keep making more!
Jackson Nguyen Come back in an hour or so :-)
OH MY GOSH I LOVE YOU! If you ever Come to California I would love to shake your hand and get a picture with you! You're awesome.
I'm deciding between the 15-30 tamron and the 16-35mm f/4L IS and I'm
pulling my hair out trying to choose the right one and there are 2
things I'm worried about holding me back from the tamron
So since the 15-30 retracts inwards when focusing/zooming, will dust be
able to get inside easily? Do you find that at all? Or does that never
happen?
Also is the tamron too heavy to be on a Dslr for long perieds of time? I
will be shooting on a tripod but, it seems like might be too heavy to
not have a tripod collar, Am I wrong about that as well?
+Mackenzie “in” Japan I don't think the Tamron will really have a dust problem long term. It is a big and heavy lens though. But then again, the Canon 16-35 f/4 is hardly small and light
ok thx the front element worries me a bit, would hate to scratch that
Have you tried the Sony fe 16-35 F4 and canon ef 16-35 F4 and if so do you feel this tamron is superior to both in IQ across the frame?
+shaolin95 I'm testing the Canon 16-35 - their image quality is similiarly good, they're about as sharp as each other at f/4 as far as I can tell
+Christopher Frost Photography In that case, the Tamron makes a lot more sense to me since its faster and I can use it with my existing LAEA3 adapter.
Thanks a lot for your reviews, your format is one of my favorites!
Was sagst du zu Tokina AT-X 16-28mm F/2.8 Pro FX Canon? Würdest du es bevorzugen oder doch dasTamron? Danke für deine Antwort. Alternative wäre canon 16-35 f4 oder 17-40.
I do lot of hiking and landscape photography just for my own satisfaction and not for professional level. I wanted to get a ultra wide angle lens for my Canon T5i. I was thinking about Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM Lens OR Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC USD Lens for canon. Which one would you suggest for me to use? please give your recommendations.
+Anupam Menghal Well the 10-22 is specially designed for APS-C cameras and will give you a much wider angle, so I'd recommend that. Even sharper is the new Canon 10-18mm IS STM
Thanks a lot for your help Chris. Keep up the good work with your extensive knowledge about photography.
If you say the focal range is best for full frame what would you say is the aps-c equivalent.
MonkeyButt117FTW something like the 10-18mm
riciy EF-S 10-22mm also is good.. But no IS unlike the 10-18mm STM :-(
not sure if pick this one or SIGMA Art 14-24 mm F2.8 DG HSM, opinions?
The Sigma could be a bit sharper, the Tamron has image stabilization
Hey Chris! Did you do a review of the tamron sp 90mm f/2.8 di vc usd macro lens? If so, can you provide the link for that. I haven't seen a video on it. Thank you.
I haven't covered that one I'm afraid
Hi Christopher, great video... :) thanks... By the way, do you know if the Tamron 15-30 G1 which you've reviewed here works with the Canon R? If it works, then I will replace my 6D with the R. If not, I will wait :) cheers
It will work if you use the EF-RF mount adaptor
@@christopherfrost thank you. I heard that version G1 may have some compatibility issues even with the adapter, but I'll give it a try. :)
Hope you can do a comparison between this lens and the new sigma 14-24 2.8.....very very interested in that...
Hi Christopher, which according to you is the best ultrazoom lens? Can please share your views!
+Manjeet Singh Ultra wide? For full frame I love this Tamron lens although I'm currently testing the new Canon 16-35 which is also very nice
+Christopher Frost Photography What would be your best pick for say 12mm to 20mm zoom range? This is what I am actually looking for.
Which would be your take for the best prime... Say sub 16mm ? Thanks!
+Manjeet Singh There aren't any, if you're talking about a full-frame camera lens. If you're talking about crop sensor (APS-C) lenses then take a look at my ultra wide-angle zoom lens comparison video
Hi christopher! Very good work! I was wondering if you could help me to take a decision... For astrophotography, image quality, and video work, do you recommend this tamron 15-30? Or the sigma art 20mm 1.4?
Thank you very much!
I would definitely go for the Sigma
Christopher Frost Photography thank you!
For doing general photo work (landscapes, seascapes, wide angle shots, pretty much anything to be honest that needs wide angle), and doing video work (would be used for a bunch of different scenarios) would you suggest this, or the Canon 16-35mm f4? Thanks!
I talk about that at the end of my review of the Canon 16-35 :-)
Great video. Would it work well on A7iii? And what adapter would you recommend? Thanks
No idea, sorry!
Great review. had my eye on that for some time. Did you keep it?
Nah, I'm normally testing some ultra-wide angle lens or another
Hey Chris, I was wondering if you'll be reviewing the new Tamron 10-24mm di ii vc hld? I'm comparing it with canon 10-22mm in terms of sharpness
Sure, when I have some time :-)
Christopher Frost Photography Thanks! Would gladly watch the review about it since you create great quality reviews :)
Hi Chris, after review this lens, do you still choose the tamron over the canon 16-35 f2.8 mark III???
That Canon lens is a lot sharper (and far more expensive)
Whats the difference between the g2? And the sigma 14-24mm f2.8? IQ, sharpness, CA, corners, vigneting, distortion? I subbed! Ty
I haven't tested those lenses yet I'm afraid
@@christopherfrost thanks for all your help. I decided i would go with the Tokina 16-28mm (first gen) for $500 new or the gen 2 for $699 (coming this March 15). This saves me $600 vs the 14-24mm 2.8 and the 15-30mm 2.8 with a little compromise on iq, but for landscape and family gathering its good enough for an enthusiast! Ty keep reviewing lenses pls!
hi
if i had to choose (cost no issue) between this one and Nikon 14-24..any thoughts..help :)?
+Fahad Al Othman (Fahad) If I was a Nikon user...I don't know...I'd probably still go for the Tamron...
Thanks a lot for your reply! I decided to get the Nikon one but get this baby for my canon system .. you're doing great reviews, truly appreciated .. HAPPY SHOOTING :)!
+Fahad Al Othman (Fahad) go for the tamron , its been rated as Nikons equal.
+Fahad Al Othman (Fahad) I think the VC in the Tamron is more useful for video whereas the Nikon has nothing
Thanks Christopher, very good review. I am looking for a decent wide angle that can also shoot video on the Nikon D750. I think this may be it !
HI bro, i own this lens , what i want to ask u is ... how can i use ND holder filter ???? lens hood is diffrent not flat. so how ....
James Melvin Gunawan I don't know, sorry! You'll need to find a special filter holder on the internet. Lee Filters might make one.
+James Melvin Gunawan Haida makes filter holders for this lense and it is compatible with Lee sw150 series filters as well as Haida's own filters...
Hi Christopher, excellent calm and informative reviews that you do, thank you! I need some advice please, I am looking for a lens with IS capability to replace my Canon 17-40 F4L for my 6D. It must have a wide aperture as I mainly photograph Buildings from heights up to 17M using a vehicle mounted pneumatic mast system, which does create camera movement even in a light breeze. My 17-40 at F4 sometimes does not allow the shutter speed in not such good light and I try to avoid high ISO. I was looking at this review and stopped immediately when you mentioned the weight of this lens as it is way too heavy as weight is also a big consideration. Any recommendations would be appreciated given a realistic yet reasonable budget.
This seems like the lens for you
Hey chris, do you think this would be a good lens to shoot prom, with a
APS-C? (60d) I want to get the Sigma 24 1.4 but I'm still undecided. Any suggestion? Can be prime or zoom lens
This 15-30mm lens is really intended for full-frame cameras so you'd be throwing away money. Try a fast standard zoom lens - I made a comparison video of them
Where's your review of the Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 when I needed you the most???
I didn't think there's anything you hadn't reviewed. 😢
Hiiii thk for video, this lens is ideal for astrophotography?
Is buying full frame lenses for crop cameras "slightly odd"
I have a d7000 and I only buy and own full frame. in case I want to upgrade.
+DaveDangerous74 Then go for it with my blessing :-)
+Christopher Frost Photography Well I am not sure which to get Samyang 14mm f2.8 or Tokina 16-28 f2.8
+DaveDangerous74 Get this Tamron lens
+Christopher Frost Photography
Thanks for the true opinion and I enjoying the lens on the Canon 5D III
Very interested in this lens, should be a nice upgrade from my dud copy of a Samyang 14mm F/2.8
I just bought this lens but i have a canon700d, and since its not a full frame its not as good. Any suggestions? Can i still get good photos with it?
Some comments say it would be a waste of money to shoot with that lens on a crop sensor camera, but I kinda disagree. Yes shooting on full frame would be using the lens to its optimum, but you should still be able to take great photos with the lens on your 700D. In practice the lens becomes a 24-48mm zoom on a crop body, so you gain some reach at the top end of the zoom range, but lose some width at the bottom - you still get the advantage of f/2.8 aperture, along with the quality of the optics. Due to budget plenty of shooters I know only have crop sensor bodies, but full frame lenses - thats how I shoot, and I get no complaints about IQ, and in some instances crop sensor works out better for me. One day I'll partner my APS-C body with a full frame one, and I'll be able to cover more bases with the lens selection I have.
Bro, beautiful but, Does it have a rear screw to put a polarizer filter ? since the most of the users could be landscape photographers. If not, How the heck are you going to match a polarizer filter in the front ?, you are going to spend more money trying to get it.
How is this comapared to the Canon 16-35mm f/4L IS? That Canon is a couple of hundred bucks cheaper...so I am having a hard time chosing between the Tamron and the Canon
+K doshi The Canon is a tiny bit sharper and consdierably smaller and lighter. The Tamron lets in twice as much light
Christopher Frost Photography I see. Do you find not being able to put filters on is a deal breaker with the Tamron? I wanted the Tamron for video, with it's VC, but I can't even put a variable ND on it...do you think this is a deal breaker, as someone who does make videos and with such a great channel! :)
+K doshi Hmm, it can be a bit of a deal breaker for a lot of people, especially video makers
Hey, just a quick question. Were both photos from the full frame and aps-c cameras taken from the same location ? Trying to get a perspective on how the 15mm wideness compares.
Thanks in advance, love your reviews ! Always so helpful.
+dupton69 I /think/ they were. All the best
Hi Christopher, great videos. If money wasn't an issue, which wide angle lens would you go for for a Canon 80d primarily for video work? Image stabilisation also being a priority. I'm leaning towards the Canon 16-35 f/4 L IS at the moment. Keep up the good work. Ruben.
If you mean ultra wide-angle, then a 16-35 is not ultra wide. You'd need the Canon 10-18
Thanks for your reply Christopher. In terms of image quality, which sort of wide angle lens, 15 or 16mm being fine, would you personally go for?
On an APS-C camera, I personally wouldn't go for an ultra wide angle lens designed for full frame cameras. I'd go for the Canon 15-85
Thanks again Christopher. Would you go for the Canon15-85 over the Canon 10-18 primarily for video work? Last question I promise!
It depends on whether you need an ultra wide angle lens, or a standard zoom lens. If you can only have one then the 15-85 would obviously be far more versatile
Chris, I was wondering, will you be reviewing the Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 Art lens? I rely on your testing. Thanks for all you do. God Bless you.
Not soon, but yes, sometime
if want to choose a lens between sigma 18-35 1.8 Art vs Tamron 15-30 2.8 vc
which1 will you choose and why!?
I presume you're using an APS-C camera. I'd use the Sigma lens. It's much smaller and lighter and has a much brighter maximum aperture
Christopher Frost Photography ya i use 80D crop sensor camera,
lack of IS and usable is limited only for crop sensor makes me think again and again for sigma...
whereas in tamrom it doesnt have filter thread..
so its confusing to decide.
now all i want to know is which lens has better coner to corner sharpness at wide open.
Love your review Christopher. I am thinking to purchase the Tamron15-30mm on my 5D MII but the weight is a big issue while traveling.
My alternative will be the Fujifilm XT1 with 10-24mm, can you please advice.
Brian.
Brian Yu I haven't tried any Fuji gear, although I do want to, and apparently that particular lens is great :-)
is the 15-30 3,5....auf aps-c the same with 2.8...in the sun?????
I really want a wide angle lens however there aren't many built for crop sensor lenses. I have a Nikon D3300 and I can't find any that are quite cheap anywhere :/ It seems pointless getting a full frame lens because it's just like getting an 18-55 which I already have
Louie Gleeson Yeah, if you can, you should stick to crop lenses. They offer the best quality for your camera, and are cheaper.
Awesome lens cap
Hello, Chris and thank you for all of your perfect review job. I have one question about this lens on 15mm. Can you please tell me which lens have a better picture quality: Samyang 14mm F2.8 or this lens on 15mm ? I will be glad if you answer me:-) Thank you.
You can compare them directly by looking at my video review of the Samyang lens. The Samyang is a bit sharper
Thank you for your answer. I did it already before, but I did not see any big difference between this two lens, so I ask you on your opinion, because you have them:-)
How well will this perform on the new Sony A7iii using the sigma MC11?
That's a very specific question and combination - no idea, I'm afraid
Christopher Frost Photography no prob! Thank you for responding! I've been watching your video and you have the A7RII.. have you had experience using an adapted lenses like Canon?.
.
I'm picking up the new sony A7iii and I'm looking into getting a wide angle lens for Astro photography
Misael David You'll want an electronic adaptor. They at least provide aperture control. Autofocus performance is totally unpredictable - different lenses work differently with different adaptors.
@@stilmotionpicture I have the Sony A7III and I use the Sigma MC-11 adapter with the Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 VC USD for Canon EF mount. I am confirming that it autofocuses perfectly and there are no issues so far. I was also skeptical about the corners and focus. But after the latest firmware updates for Sony A7III, I don't find any problem. Only thing that is bugging me about selling this lens is the weight and no-screw-on filter thing. I feel limited and eyeing on the new Sony FE 24 mm f/1.4 GM lens. It's going to be the most wanted lens for astrophotography.
Hey Christopher, love your videos, however you made a mistake at 5:06 where you said 15mm when you were supposed to say 30mm. But still, keep up with the great videos!
justinlee19971 He also makes the mistake of never telling the equivalent aperture values for crop sensor cameras, which is a bit annoying. Apart from that, his reviews are always excellent! :-)
***** The aperture never changes. It's a physical property of the lens. The opening doesn't magically become 1/4th the focal length because you stick it on a crop sensor camera.
Now, depth of field, THAT changes. But not solely because of aperture. It's a derived value (meaning, not a physical property of the lens) based on sensor size, focal length, aperture, and distance to subject all combined. A bit more involved than Mr. Northrup would like to admit.
Le Monarque
"The aperture never changes."
Neither does the focal length.
"The opening doesn't magically become 1/4th the focal length because you stick it on a crop sensor camera."
Did you really think I was labouring under such a misapprehension?
The apparent aperture changes with the sensor size, just as the apparent focal length. There's no getting around it.
***** The problem is comparing a crop sensor camera with a 30mm lens to a FF camera with a 30mm lens. The focal length is fixed, you're right. But the field of view is different. How many times have you heard or used the property "a longer focal length = narrower depth of field"? All the time, probably.
Now, say you've got a 30mm lens on a 6D. You want to compare depth of field on a 60D. Do you stick the 30mm lens on the 60D? No! That would be a flawed comparison because your field of view, and therefore your framing, are different.
The only sensible way of comparing a single photo property, in this case DoF, is to make sure all other variables are similar. In this case, that means having the same framing in each shot. That means putting an 18mm lens on the 60D, so that you can have the same field of view and the two cameras can be the same distance to the subject.
Now let's repeat that quoted statement again:
"a longer focal length = narrower depth of field"
What's the 6D at? 30mm. And what's the 60D at? 18mm. Is your framing the same? Yes? Good, it's a valid comparison then. 30mm is a longer focal length than 18mm, right? And what do we say about longer focal lengths above? Ah, that longer focal lengths create a narrower depth of field.
That's why depth of field is narrower on FF cameras. There is no such thing as apparent aperture. The variable is field of view, which is always going to use longer focal length lenses on larger sensors when compared to smaller sensors, despite having the same framing.
Of course, you can use a faster aperture to make up for the crop sensor disadvantage, but that distracts from the actual reason for why crop sensor cameras have a deeper DoF at equivalent fields of view. It's because you use wider lenses to get that field of view compared to FF bodies.
Le Monarque
There is also the matter of less total light gathered because there is less surface area for the total gathered light to hit. Anyway, the end result will be that you multiply the f-value with the crop factor to get the equivalent f-value on a full frame camera. Which is exactly the same as what you do to calculate the equivalent focal length. So, if equivalent focal length is brought up at all, then so should equivalent aperture. That's all I'm saying. If you can show that the effective aperture of an EF lens on an APS-C camera *is not* equivalent to the crop factor multiplied with the lens' actual aperture on a FF camera, by all means do so. I don't mean to be antagonising or to cause strife. I'm only after the truth.
Should i buy 10-24 or 15-30 for my 7D.. ???
I can compromise with the focal range but need the image quality...
Look at my reviews of those two lenses, and you'll see what the image quality is like
Can you do 105 macro from sigma and compare it to canons options?
CAN you do this Lens on a canon Eos 250D ?
What vignetting and distortion on apsc camera...
Almost none. That's is virtually always the case when you use a FF lens on an APS-C camera
I have this lens and the Sigma 14-24mm DG DN both on Sony, and I think the Tamron is sharper and has less field curvature. I think you are wrong about the Sigma.
Is this better than the Canon 16-35mm L f4 under the same aperture?
ok. gracias muy buena review.
Do you know how this performs for any Astro work? Coma?
+Ben Eriksson No real coma problems
I am wondering if you are interested in the new Sigma 20mm f1.4. It would be nice if it is reviewed.
+Aaron Yang I can't wait to look at it :-)
It would be nice if you can suggest how we should protect its front element. We cannot put a filter or a lens protector on it.
Well done!
I have nikon d5500 crops, is it good?
If you get the Nikon version, it will work, but it won't be an ultra-wide angle lens on an APC (crop) camera
That lens woukd be quit perfect for my 70D! I've got tamron 70-300 VC USD and soon a Canon 50mm 1.8... but 1000 dollars are too much :(
+Monsieur Pedda
before nikon i was a sony user and before that a canon 50d one. my base lens in canon times was a 17-55 2.8 IS is special designed for crop sensors, it's deadly sharp all focals and has a IS around 2 stops efficiency. and is feather like compared with the tamron. that plus your 70-300 and who needs another lens ?
timeless reviews
Please, review the g2 with same lens???
It's essentially the same lens, I hear - just better build quality
is this Lens for Full frame or for crop factor? i mean is this lens 35mm lens?
+imperatorMher I talk about that in this video - I even test it on a full frame camera
