Always love your videos. Don't see many APS-C videos on sport shooting. Trying to get into more mountain bike shooting of photos and video. Would love to see a comparison of this one and the Sony 70-350 once you go back to shooting sports. I know the other has a much larger range, but would be curious if the range on the Tamron is enough. Keep putting out great stuff. Good to see you posting again.
would be great if you could answer this @that1cameraguy . I will be shooting youth soccer, and trying to decide between these two lenses on the a6700. On one hand, worried 180mm even with the crop is not long enough, on the other hand, the Sony not being bright enough if the light is not good enough.
I have the Sony F4 70-200 and use it all the time with my A6400. Works very well and I don't really miss the F2.8 as I shoot outside most of the time I picked up mine used for around $900 and it looked like it had never been used. If the Tamron had been out at the time it would have been a toss up between the F4 Sony or the Tamron
@@franciscruz8911 remember on apsc sensor this 70-180 turns into a 105-270.... I much rather recommend you the sigma 56mm f/1.4. that lens is only $400 compared to $1200 for the tamron. That sigma lens is awesome and is a portrait lens primarily. It's equivalent to the 85mm look. 👍 Check out the review videos on youtube
Did you have any problems about the fact that the Tamron 70-180mm F2.8 has no image stabilization and also the Sony A6000 doesn't have in body image stabilization? I mean, don't get me wrong, I get it. It's rough to not have any image stabilization at all and use a 100-120mm+ lens. You gotta increase the shutter speed and etc. But, is it unusable? Or?
The biggest question with this lens is how well it works with the IBIS. How slow can you reliable shoot at 180 which will be 270 on a cropped body or with super 35mm on something like at the A7RIV
When I first heard that Tamron should release a 70-180 I planed to buy it in case I upgraded to full frame. It took a long time so in the meantime I bought the Sony 70-350. It is defenitely not fast and I don't use tele lenses very often. But it's fun to have a lens that zoom in to equal 500 mm.
I have an a6000 so wonder if it would be a problem that there is no stabilisation in the Tamron. I have the Sony E 70-350mm F4.5-6.3 G OSS and its a great lens for the APS-C a6xxx series.
Thanks for the video. Wondering how the lens goes with low light, fast shutter speed images? Specifically looking at pairing this lens with a A6400 for some night motorsport photography. Thanks!
My experience is a big NO. Used it on my a6600 for night football, had problem numerous times with focusing, and images tend to be soft at F/2.8. Better try before you buy
@@renzbu1 So I have the A6400 and ended up buying it. I personally have to make up for the lack of OSS by not shooting any lower then 1/200 ish to be sure to prevent motion blur. Talking about handheld shooting ofcourse. For filming...I don't really recommend it if you really wanna make proper videos, unless you have some good set up that will keep it steady? I don't film so idk how that works. All in all, would I recommend? In my opinion, the no OSS is the biggest difference/downside to the Tamron 70-180 f2.8 and the sony 70-200 f2.8 OSS, with generally about a 1000 euros difference between the two. I got my Tamron cheaper for 900, even. Since I don't film, it would not have been worth it to spend that much extra. Beaides, the Tamron 70-180 is a whoooooole lot lighter and smaller then the Sony 70-200 while not really compromising on the quality, as far as I can tell as an...enthousiastic amateur. So I would definitely recommend it.
@@skuggie7939 thank you so much for your fast reply and inputs! im just planning to use it for photos and not vids.. thank you 🙏.. do you have public ig or fb or anything where you put those photos you took with that setup?
If you have any plans to test the Sigma 100-400 FE please let me know. I’m thinking of getting it and I’d love to know your opinion. I get that you don’t have any live sports to test against but any advice would be great. I rented the Sony 200-600 and it was great but I noticed the 200 side was to close for the shooting I do.
I wanna get this straight. Does Crop Sensors affect the aperture? Is it true if I shoot the 70-200gm 2.8 on my a6600 I’ll actually be shooting an aperture of around f4?
Correct, thats what a lot of people don't understand about crop factor. The depth of field (Amount of blur) would not look like a f/2.8 on FF, but more like f/4.2. So a 50mm f/1.4 or f/1.2 full frame lens does not even have an equivalent in APSC. Which is why bokeh and depth of field snobs shoot full frame.
Generally the answer is no! Cause it will give you same amount of light, means you still get T2.8. But yes depth of field will be different. BUT it is like having a 105-270mm F 4 on fullframe. So depth of field also will look the same! 180 f2.8 turns to 270 f4!
Hiii I hope this message finds you well. can you please take some videos and photos at 180mm f2.8. please whenever you have a chance! Thanks Daddy to Yza
I'm still waiting for that "in the field" test on a Sony APS-C body... I think it's a very good option if you plan to do some sport with a lens similar to the 70-200mm in Full-Frame... another option it could be the sigma 50-100 f1.8 with the mc-11 adapter, but you already did that test with acceptable results but not good enough ua-cam.com/video/_N5EbCYXiwA/v-deo.html Are you still planning to do the test? Maybe with that test of yours I decide to buy for my APS-C 😉👍🏼 Thanks
These mirrorless lens prices are completely ridiculous, regardless of whether they are crop or full-frame or for an amateur or pro. There is absolutely NO JUSTIFICATION for such high prices. These lenses do not cost $800+ dollars to manufacture per copy. I'd be surprised if the unit cost was half that.
Sony's engineering philosophy was to create small, compact, photography. Thus, mirrorless, tiny, sleek camera bodies and compact lenses. To mount enormous lenses on this tiny camera body defeats the Sony purpose of creating comfortable to carry/sleek camera bodies and lenses. Instead, consider the much newer (released 8/19), smaller, lighter, longer zoom lens made specifically for the Sony A6--- cameras: the Sony G 70-350mm. The 70-350 has image stabilization, zoom lock, auto/manual focusing, and is tied to the auto/eye focus system. The lens can be bought for $900 on Amazon. If you haven't considered this lens just go to the many reviews that almost universally rave about its performance.

It's a great lens you guys. I pair it with my A7RIV and quality is top notch.
Would you recommend this with a6500 for portraits?

You missed the important part. OIS. A6400/6300/6100 doesn’t have that
Did you get any issues with the lack of image stabilizastion. I have an a6400 which doesnt have in body is.

How is it using in A6000? Is it still usable? Particularly A600 has no IBIS
Great video, did u do the 2021 review for sports? I am really interested in this combo!
Thanks for the video. Wondering how the lens goes with low light, fast shutter speed images? Specifically looking at pairing this lens with a A6400 for some night motorsport photography. Thanks!
yeah same, I wish there were more youtube videos about this lens paired with A6400/aps-c sensor cameras
have you bought a lens yet? what did you choose?
@@skuggie7939 not yet mate. Still deciding
My experience is a big NO. Used it on my a6600 for night football, had problem numerous times with focusing, and images tend to be soft at F/2.8. Better try before you buy
Thanks for the answer man!! I REALLY APPRECIATE IT!! =D
I'm going to buy for my a6000 for sports what full frame camera are you recommend sony not more than $1,500
I mean there is a aps c mode on the Sony Full frame cameras so therefore you have 70-270mm if you use the full range from full frame to APSC right?
why you do not put some images or videos in video. Nothing i did understand about it's quality
Answered a viewers question with a video. Based
There is a UA-cam channel named Yuu based in Japan and he uses the 70-180 lens on the Sony A6600 in a cinematic way
I have been told that Tamron full frame lenses do not work well on apsc cameras. Is that right?
Have you tried the 70-350? For a variable aperture lens, it is very sharp. And then the reach is crazy.
I have not, but will at some point.
I picked it up last month for my birthday, and I'm blown away at the image quality I get from it. I'll probably pick up the 16-55 2.8 for Christmas.
the thing I am most worried about is using it on the a6400, and not having enough stabilization/missing that
anybody have anything to say about that?
same here. I have a6400 and I wonder how it would come out with this lens since it doesn't have oss.. Please anyone answer this! 🙏

No photo or video samples? Why?
I’ll try to throw them into the tamron 70-180 mini review video.
Do you advise it to use it with A6500?

@@that1cameraguy I remember that video. I watched it maybe 3 times. That's why I was hoping to see if you had plans to try the native lens.
deberias poner fotos cuando haces este tipo de videos
So wait the Tamron 70-180 on a APSC will have a longer zoom range? Or is this Tamron 70-180 a FF camera ?
Looks cute on the aps-c bodies.
