      I was looking for a review of this glass for travel and here it is. Most of the reviews are for portraits but but since I am traveling a couple of times a year, I am looking for something like this. Hoping in the next couple of days I will get myself one of these. The best thing is that will be a great addition to my kit since I have the Sigma 150-600 C.

      If they made a mirrorless version of it, I'll choose it over 28-200mm F2.8-5.6.

      @@leodejongful Street/candid guys usually use 28mm or 35mm as their wide end. Anything wider than that will have too much dramatic distortion. I think there're more 35mm guys than 28mm guys.

    For my APSC 90D this is it for events, portrait etc instead of the 70-200 f2.8 which is in fact 112-320 which for inside jobs, the 112mm sucks a lot. 56mm is already real good

      Totally agree. Especially traveling or even inside a museum like he was shooting indoor. You can't capture the whole room. Never mind outdoor for architecture. Zoom we can always do cropping in post for travel pics since our resolution is so high now anyway. 24mm Is a must for travel

    • @johnbuscher
      @johnbuscher 4 роки тому

      Joseph Choy Sure, but if you’re shooting architecture, you’re either shooting wide the whole time or even shooting with a tilt-shift lens. If you’re traveling and have the 35-150, you can still get a lot of the peripheral in. Plus, I think the 17-35 would be a better indoor shooter, especially on a high MP camera where you can crop to get a better framing and not lose too much detail.

    I have the Tamron 17 to 35 which I absolutely love so I think I will be adding this to my kit I’ve been wondering about this lens for awhile and thanks for the great review because I think Tamron have really nailed something here. I actually do not have a use for a 24 to 70 mm lens. I don’t shoot much at 50 mil at all really. However there are things that sometimes pop up at about 130 mil like birds and so forth and then you need to quickly focus on that. It’s the adaptability of this lens and the focal length which makes it so appealing. I do not understand why 24-70 mm lenses are so popular because I don’t you anything

      The emphasis here is that a zoom lens like this Tamron is super convenient to use and eliminates the need to carry along several prime lenses. So it is ideal for the traveler, hiker, etc. that needs versatility without a lot of weight and bulk. In many shooting situations this lens will perform as well as the Nikon primes you have listed and possibly outperform them in many instances. For critical work at specific focal ranges, there is typically no substitute for a prime. >Mark
