This review compares the Canon 16-35 f/4L with the Tamron 15-30 f/2.8 VC USD. The two lenses are similarly prices, even though the Canon has dropped from its original $1200 release price. As usual, I look at sharpness and resolution, but focus more on lens flare this time around.

#Tamron #Canon #LensReview
Nice production value and great to see some real photos (and very good ones, too!) Not all reviewers are also good photographers!
Thanks Dustin!
This was the best comparison video I've seen. Most reviewers like to talk in front of the camera when we are most interested in the performance of the camera/lens. Excellent presentation.
Everyone can tell that the production value of this review is gigantically high. Thank you for the time you put into this organizing and executing this for us. You are amazing!
Without any doubt, this has to be one of the very best lens reviews I have ever seen. Fabulous presentation style & some fantastic supporting photos. Im definitely subscribing & head on over to your website! Thank You!
Thanks!
I Agree, great review. The DigitalRev Tv review of the Canon 16-35 f/4L IS was garbage!
Why not pit the canon 2.8 against the tamron? Also would've loved to see the Tokina in the match up too -- thanks
Well, I figured that these two were about the same price, so it made sense. I think I did include the Tokina?
@@MatthewGore you did throughout, I just meant in the summary. BTW thanks for the comparison videos.
Excellent review. Thank you! I chose the Tamron, personally.
Hi sir. I really want to see you do a comparison between canon 16 35mm l f4 is USM and Tamron 15 30mm G2 f2.8. Because now they're really similar price on markets.
I'll do what I can :-) I'm currently working on the Sigma 14-24 f/2.8 and Tamron 17-28 f/2.8 for Sony E-mount. Amazing lenses.
Matthew Gore Photography is my hobby. I'm using canon 6D mark ii. What want to my 70 200mm mark III and 16 35mm f4 . I think Tamron 15 30 G2 is good too. But I don't know which one is better.
@@sottheaphoeurng9044 Keep in mind that optically, the 15-30 original and the G2 both are virtually identical; the g2 has some improved coatings on the lenses and the autofocus and stabilization are better, but you won't see any practical difference in image quality. So, you can take the comparison in this video and pretty much assume that the same thing will be true of the G2, but it will have slightly improved autofocus (although, I don't remember having any problems with it with either of these lenses).
Matthew Gore oh thank you so much sir.
I've just found this review :)
Altough you seemed to be fair the weight-issue in fact not an issue. This is a f2.8 lens, so be weight you should compare with the Canon 16-35/2.8 III. But it has no IS, and about 2-3x more expensive :D So you really cant compare them, as you pointed out: they are not for the same usage.
Anyway: I have the Canon and really like that it is real sharp in the edges, not like the 17-40/4L or the 16-35/2.8L I had earlier.
According the images you made I wont say that Canon is sharper as the results were inconsistent.
The flare is really an issue for the Tamron, but I'll get a Tamron soon to test it :D
Thanks! :)
thank god you are back, bought the 24-70 2.8 tamron after i watched your vid, now im looking for a wide lens and im pretty sure this will be a massive help :)
I use the Tamron 15-30 on my D810. Very nice.
Have you taken any astrophotography images? That is where I think the Tamron would excel.
I also have the D 810, so I'd be interested to see some of your images.
ValiRossi I know this is an old comments, but how do you find it? I'm interested in astrophotography so do you have any experience shooting this at night? Thanks if you reply
The Tamron is exceptional for shooting the milky way. I have the Nikon 14-24 and the Tamron, I like the Tamron better. The Nikon will go on sale soon. The two issues with the Tamron are : HEAVY. And you must buy a special filter holder.
I didn't use this video to purchase my 16-35 F4L recently but it would of help in a big way! :D Awesome video :) I am glad I chose what I chose !
That´s one of the best comparisons I´ve ever watched. Thank you for this detailed overview. You helped me a lot!
I was using the 15-30 Tamron with my c300 mark II and the AF does not work.... This was very unfortunate.
Congratulations on your video. However I have been wanting to see the comparative of both lenses indoors and in low light situations. Which of the two would you recommend for night entertainment photography?
This is by far one of the best videos I have watched. Excellent comparison, thank you very much.
First one of your videos I've seen, a very well constructed comparison. If I do buy one of the lenses in the new year I think it's only right that I will buy from your link, to that end I've saved your video in a new playlist all of its own.
Mark Harris
my camera doesn't have video and plus my camera is 14 years old it's a canon 400d 10.1 megapixel camera. i want to get an up to date camera that can do everything plus video. so what you think about the 10-18 wide angle lens. so you said this is a much better lens and it will make my pictures better i don't know i want to spend that kind of money on a camera lens but if it's going to make my pictures solid then i will have to invest in one. i love taking pictures especially wide angle ones but i want to buy 2 more cameras i want your opinion on the canon sl1 and sl2
By far the best lense comparison / review / field test on youtube. It helped me so much in deciding. The videos answer every single question i had about the sifferwnce in lenses. Thank you.
Glad I could help :-)
Have you started to test Canon 35 1.4 II? I'm recently trying out both this and Sigma 1.4 Art. I found they both have excellent image quality---when focus accurately. I say so because both of them have hard time to focus on people's eyes when the subject is about 2-3 feet close to the lens. Although Canon does focus faster and has a high success rate.
For me $200.00 Cheaper and 500 grams lighter it's no contest. The Canon is an easy choice. Also as a Landscape photographer the ability to use ND filters is a must.
Can you compare Tamron 15-30 F/2.8 and Canon 16-35 F/2.8?
Thank you for this video! I will go for the canon lens :)
little bit difference, almost the same, not real difference... but DIFFERENCE! U have to say in a right way, that canon is better, when tamron will be better say tamron is better. Have a nice day :)
Canon seems to be a very good lens. Great value for money, opticaly much better than Nikkor 16-35VR.
Your videos are amazing and you have a great voice too!
Have a great day!
Thank you :-)
Awesome i have been looking forward to your next review! Amazing as always thanks heaps :)
Thanks Johnny. I wish I could make them more regularly. From the start with these lens comparisons, I chose a method of making the videos that is very time consuming, although I like how they look. I'm working on ways to maintain the quality and speed up the process, though. Hopefully it starts making a difference :-)
Best reviews and editing. Would love if you added the new 35mm primes.
I'm going to start shooting with some of the new 35mms on Wednesday. :-) Not sure when the videos will be finished... getting the time to make these videos is always the hard part.
I enjoyed your video very much. Valid information indeed. However, I cannot decide which to buy. The weight factor of the Tamron could be a major factor & that added cost of a $100 for a filter...
I thought you could have given us more info on low light shooting.
Your opinion on whether the Canon lens would be ideal for low light shoots would be good.
Obviously, the Tamron is brighter, nevertheless a comparison would be interesting...
Thank you for an interesting comparison.
Wow that Canon looks real good. Case closed. Although I like the tamron color better
WELl you have earned a subscribe with a bell lol. I’d love to help yet I’m in Australia so my $$ is terrible but I’m also on veterans pension for life and my photography is now for maybe some odd print sales. But mostly to help my ptsd and get my service dog out more, well Drs say its me who needs to get out more as I’m canon shooter. But have done it very hard as tried my hardest to stay with my agent shooting yet apart from physical pain and then PTSD arriving, I lost my marriage of 12yrs my two kids house well everything. As I didn’t want my kids missing out or see court and more things created to let my X feel less guilty for playing around and many other things when i was away with Army doing my job, to help not only my own country but to work with many others in trying to give some freedom against others. But coming home to terrible stories i chose to believe her. Then she used most of my field allowance to make us move near her very odd family and Tasmania, is not attached to Australia, so she had family school friends and was just known by every one yet i had never been there and did not know a soul. So big money to move a house and family of 4 with me already being medically discharged due to injuries while serving, which i loved my Job and did pass many chances at specialist roles and promotion as she would make me feel so bad and threaten to leave if i did not fall out of a course. But only to see her going out 2-3nights a week with girls nights while i took care of ny baby daughter. (Yes I’m the fool, But strong on if I give my word to anyone that i will do the best i can. Marriage being one) so now 13yrs since a date. She has nice houses cars well everything i live in tiny place with ny services dog but any friends have there families or like me got sick and there partners enjoyed money and dump many soldiers. As maybe they don”t want the once brave soldier that is fighting a invisible wound and has trouble being around large groups or sleeps 1 hr a night. Yet xduring pregnancy I would come home from Army when on base you do get very good hrs to let you have extra time with families. So if she was sick i would take over when arrived home let her rest do the house and meals, that was just with a cold lol. Yet 7 days in hospital she said was to much out of her way to bring in the kids for a visit so better to let me rest 🤔🤔🤔🤯. Yet the pack and acoustic guitar and clothes where all i could carry when told to leave as she was staying at her sisters over a argument. That the really cold weather there would really hurt my joints and took a good hr to start moving even though the nightmares and sweats with increasing depression which i would try so hard to not show, but asking to rub some gel into back few times a week was her escape argument. Sorry to have typed this. I guess its been 10days since ive seen a person or had the phone ring. But I’m trying to put money from pension away to have a good landscape lenses As few yrs having media freelance ticket i was shooting very thing from F1 ro V8’s super cars bike launches for honda race bike that team would ride for season before public could come in to the expo, great model shoots Quicksilver Pro surfing in Australia part of tour. Which allowed film to digital the first 5D and 7D and one L series lens a year. Yet now the wider lens is a big one for me to try Astro and more nature and story creative photos, that i could putt on DVD with some video and music which id give to veterans and emergency service people that suffer the PTSD rather than sit watching infomercials if not Netflix and hide away for long periods some nice video with photography and music that might bring some tension release and maybe some hrs in deep sleep. So I’m really stuck on either of the lenses but Australia the canon is around $1800 for f4 Tamron 2.8 $2000 but can be more or little less than those numbers but canon f2.8 L $3200. As u see we pay a lot more for cameras lenses a 77mm Hoya protect UV $83 A 82mm 125 $98 was best price. You can get no name type yet they throw colour are tin glass. Yet the Sigma 18 f1.4 prime $2300 ive only got one non canon lens. So its really hard to say ok ill eat less this 2weeks to add little more to a lense as a 5D mk4 $4999 body only i have to not have a back up body which is strange yet i did sell my car to get ther 1DXmk2 for $9999 as was dream bucket list since film 1D. So i got selfish and 5D mk1 had to go. I bought a 22yr old car to allow me trooper the service dog to drive to take pictures. So this was most true lens test that was real world plus’s close up, but no pushing. Yet. I’m stuffed as Astro i need seals and 2.8 is better but the Nd filters and that glass more to add. Or do i sit and go sigma prime 1.4 I’m sure art. Love to hear if I haven’t turned everyone off because i used a keyboard not phone, which made me think i was talking again Apologies, giving poor me talk but i selected all and was about delete and thought this time ill let some people laugh at me, but also if you see a veteran or emergency services man or female that is alone and maybe even hiding from to many people. There are no bandages and often we really don’t ask for anything yet they may even put on there mask to help you. But in there head is some really nasty things and to now be 49 and still have trines i feel like a 5 yr old boy that once was a soldier and proud. I look forward to checking out your other vids as i budgeted $18 a month for Netflix but also can use utube on my tv. As raining and pretty sore. Stay strong and keep shooting, Instagram under this name i got pushed to put some photos of yrs back until my neck pops back of my nerve root just a added thing so I’m missing 2 things o I’m still able photography my guitar and my Dog. I had to tell my daughter to not get so worried ive not dated or anything 13 well really 15yrs so I don’t think some lady would enjoy walks and movies guitar and simple calming and fire. As there free and great but today everyone wants things and I would hate to put my problems, that they would miss better people. 👍😎🇦🇺
What about the obvious fact, that the Canon has a much better contrast? No word about it...
Great video. Good sound nice pacing etc. BUT regarding the sharpness tests, on which you put great emphasis they are kind of rendered less relevant, borderline useless IN MY OPINION. Why? because if you want to test lens' sharpness you absolutely have to use the 5dsr. This is how you push to the limits and highlight the differences. Plus its easier to show on a youtube video when the differences are actually visible. Ever since the 5dsr came out Tony Northrup started doing tests with that camera because you can ignore that 50 mp sensor. You get a whole new perspective on those "sharp" lenses. To really make this review you should've rented the 5dsr.
Just Don't agree with this comparison the Tamron soft!!!! you must be Joking , probably one of the sharpest lenses available. I think you must have a bad copy !!!
good review. i own the canon 16-35. joy of a lens. very sharp everywhere at all apertures and focal lengths with emphasis on performance on the wide end wide open. at 16mm at f4, the lens is designed to perform. i think this is where canon engineers spent all their focus. the long end is no slouch either though. at the longer end you'll wanna stop down to 5.6 for optimum sharpness. i think around 24mm or so is where you gain slightly by stopping down.
i get nice results down to 1/15 as well and i've eeeked out nice results at 1/5 and decent at 1 full second
Agreed. It's a great lens. Really, they both are.
Would u plz compare canon 200mm f2 with two 2x teleconverters stacked = 800mm f8 ,vs canon 400mm DO f4 Mark I with 2x teleconverter =800mm , thank u.
I can see the cable on the crane on the tamron side. You need to look very carefully for it
Subscribed for the in-depth, well thought out comparison. I especially enjoyed the rotating of the cameras to show which flared more and when. Thank you very much for this, and don't listen to that canon fanboy quote, you seemed to have little to no bias.
Good review. Sorry about your croaky voice I hope it improves soon.
Great video comparison it just made my decison easier which lens to buy! It will be the Canon for my EOS RP
I have been using his videos to do my research for what lenses I am buying. Had mostly canon L Glass, but I am finding that Tamron might be the way to go forward.
Adjust the volume of your intro, its stopping me watch your content as its very enjoying.
Best comparing video i ever seen on youtube, please try to make one for sigma 14mm f1.8
カメラもレンズもド素人ですが、参考になりました。ありがとうございます。Tamronはニューモデルでてますね。０２４１？ それを買いました。重いです。ボディいれて２ｋｇくらい。筋トレレベル。(笑)
Excellent video comparison and review of these two lenses. Decided to buy the Canon 16-35 f/4. I look forward to more of your work. Thank u.
Great review! Got my canon 16-35 this week. I hope I will get some nice shots😁
beautiful informative interesting video, thank you for the sharing .. i was torn between the lenses which one to buy to use it with my D810, you helped me out ... and one more thing, what I liked about your video is , its not commercial, like many other professional photographers whom turned to be lousy cheap salesmen underestimating viewers minds. thank you again sir. hope to see more videos like this.
This lens maybe not as fast as f2.8. Read in an article a few years back that it's actually f3.5.
Most lenses these days would have a different T-stop number. And there's also processing that goes on around the edges of a full-frame sensor, since light often can't penetrate properly into the receptor tubes because of the angle. I didn't notice anything egregious with this one, though 🙂
I just find your great reviews and subbed. I got this tamron on sony alpha mount and I love it. Unfortunately we have not too many options on a-mount just this and the carl zeiss 16-35/2.8 which is nearly £2000 and older minolta and sigma lenses. This lens was on sale last december for £750 in uk. My biggest problem the special filter holder for this lens anyway great lens.
The aperture alone .. in addition I've seen some odd auto focus issues with Cannon and this particular Tamron incredibly accurate and fast. It's quite interesting that you didn't take any low light pictures for comparison.
canon 11-24 vs sigma 12-24 please!
that might be interesting. I'll keep it in mind.
Best review on internet so far. Between 16-35 mm and Sigma 20 mm F1.4. What is your thoughts about this versus?
In general, I'm not a big fan of large aperture wide angle prime lenses for general shooting... they can be useful if you have a particular purpose in mind (night sky, stage or concerts, etc) but generally, you won't get great bokeh from a wide angle lens unless you're shooting a subject just a few feet away, and you can get away with slower shutter speeds with wide angles for general shooting, so I tend to go with more compact lenses. That's just personal taste, though. All of these lenses are nice and sharp (including the Sigma), so it comes down to what you're using it for and your personal taste. The Sigma will give you 8 times more light than the Canon f/4 lens, so that's a big consideration if you're shooting motion in low light. I like the flexibility of a zoom.
@@MatthewGore Zoom has many advantages, agree with you but it is far from sharpness of primes. I examined hundreds of Raw samples of EF 16-35 F4, 16-35 2.8, tamron 15-30, RF 24-105 F4. I am only using prime lenses and i need a wide angle but i can not decide. There are very good solutions such as 16-35 Mark 3 but very expensive. I will need this wide angle for street and travel photos. Now i am using only Sigma 50 mm Art for these purposes and it is not enough wide for landscapes.
really liked you sir.. very valuable your judgements are.. thank you
I wish I could find a similar video with the Nikon 14-24mm
I would like to see Tokina at f/5.6 or f/8! (edge comparison to the Canon and Tamron)
Who shoots landscapes at f/2.8? Why even bother to mention Tokina?
Broj 1 I bought the tamron because I shoot a lot 2.8, northern light and nightscape, milky way..
Hi Matthew,
First I would like to thank you for all your inspiring videos and all your tutorials.
I wonder if you can help me with this.
I want to open my own website to display my work online. I need to know how and what is the right size for my images.
What is the right size can the image be to look good on Squarespace and not to look good when printed if it is stolen from my website ?
I will really appreciate any help.
Thank you again
Maher
Ahh, that's tricky. First, I don't use Squarespace, so I can't give you any specifics there, but the same thing should be true for responsive wordpress sites like mine.
First, most people are still using monitors/displays that are no larger than 1080p, although 4K and retina displays are also out there. Still, I generally optimize for 1080p, since they'll also look OK on higher pixel screens. So, you can definitely set 1920 pixels wide as your upper limit.
1080p is 1920 x 1080, which is just over 2 megapixels, though a 35mm frame will be 1920 x 1280. For a high quality print, 300 pixels per inch is ideal, but even 100ppi will usually be passable if you don't look too close... and at 100ppi, a 1080p image could be printed at almost 30 x 50 cm. It wouldn't look great, especially to a photographer, but it would probably be fine at an A4 / 8x10" size.
So, it depends on what kind of pictures you're trying to sell. If you're a landscape photographer, I wouldn't worry much about people trying to make small prints of your work... that's not going to eat into your profits much (unless you sell small prints)... I'd be more concerned about your images looking good online. But you still might set an upper limit of around 1000 pixels on the long end.
If you're an event photographer / wedding photographer and expect to sell many small photos to your clients for their albums, then even 1000 pixel images will print reasonably well as small prints (4x6" or smaller). So, if theft is a concern, then either watermark them or keep them very small online. I don't shoot many weddings anymore, but to get around this worry, I priced my photography so include a certain number of small prints so that people wouldn't feel inclined to steal the images for small prints.
Good luck!
Slightly tough but exciting times ahead for Tamron. I love their lenses and considering that Nikon is in the mirrorless market (both Z series cameras have IBIS) wonder if they'll ditch the VC and create lighter and faster lenses.
The Tamron 28-70 f/2.8 for Sony E (see my most recent review) certainly makes it look that way :-)
Thank you so much. It's very useful. I still think the weight is more important I'm going to get canon 😊
I would be interested in seeing how the canon 16-35 2.8 does up against the tamron 15-30 f2.8
I know I'm commenting a lot, but do you have a generic Amazon link? one I can use for memory cards, that tripod I'm thinking about, and just general shopping.
Any of the Amazon links (either here or in the text of my website) will work as generic Amazon links; anything purchased after clicking through them will help me... even if it's not related to the product that I'm linking to. Thanks! ( but here's one anyway: amzn.to/2aoZasX )
Wow stunning review, have subscribed :)
Best comparison ever!
Will choose canon 16-35 2.8 ii because weight matters for hiker)
Thanks! Glad you found it useful :-)
the reason why Tamron @2.8 and @4 almost the same sharpness because the 2.8 on the Tamron actually is 3.2 or 3.5. The front element is smaller than the 14-24 2.8
Evidence? Front element =/= aperture
Yes it's smaller ...the 14mm is wider than 15mm so the optic is more important
Remember that a picture is never better than the monitor can display edited or not
Comparison brought to you by Edward Norton
Thanks for the review! I'm in the market for one of these lenses and your review gave me more food for thought! I didn't even think of weight differences!!! Thanks again!
Always after comparison WHY people said : i can't tell you what is the best ? but we are here just to know who is the best?
Thank you
In this case, I can't tell you which one is best because each lens is better at something. The Canon is a touch sharper. The Tamron will give you more light... etc. So, there is no "best", only a "best for...".
I bought my Tamron 15-30 VC in Hong Kong with 7 years official warranty at 6800 HKD only ~900 USD
Yes, here you can also buy the international version of it on Amazon for less than $900, but there's no official warranty: amzn.to/2aopVOf
1 minute into the video, decision made! Canon it is!!!! thank you!
This is interesting as the camera store did a review with bth of these lenses and they found the opposite to be true by a wide margin so maybe sample variation.
Recently covered the same places you did! Nice to see your perspective. And nice that you took time to do the tests. I don't think I could have. Well done!
Mathew sir
Just amazing stuff
Your comparison of the two is excellent
But it would have been great if we would have included cannon 16-35 f2. 8 generation two
I owe that beauty and seriously it's fantastic
Your reviews sound very neutral also
Thx
I'm expecting the 16-35 f/2.8 III to be announced any day now. Maybe next month for Photokina. Both of the lenses in this video are sharper than the f/2.8 II, though it's not a bad lens.
Great video, very helpful review! Thank you! :)
Extremely helpful review. I am deciding between these two and this video confirms my intuition that Canon is better for me.
great comparison Matthew!
Thanks Rosa :-)
Canon 24-70mm 2.8 vs Sigma 24-70mm 2.8 DG HSM OS Art. Please!!
Yeah... and the new Tamron 24-70 f/2.8 G2, which should be announced any time now. I hope. I'd like to do these videos, but I'll have more information about them soon.
great review, I subscribed! I have seen all the lens comparisons, very well explained! and I am now convince to get all tamron line up!
Many thanks for this review !
Glad you liked it!
Helpful field review and some nice images, too. Another useful comparison would be converting some images to black and white to show the tonal rendering qualities of the lenses.
That's an interesting idea, and along the same lines of testing the lenses for color rendering which I've thought about a good deal. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to come up with a fair way of doing it... there are just too many variables, since it depends on which RAW rendering engine you use, which camera/lens profile you use, and how good they are, not just the lens itself. If you use a color checker and create a custom profile (which I usually do), then they all end up about the same anyway. With B&W conversion, the tonal range is affected by the overall contrast of the lens, but also its color rendering (since different colors will be rendered as more or less contrasty). Ultimately, we might see a difference, but they're the types of differences that could be tweaked at any stage along the way to be very different... so I'm not sure how useful it would be. But I haven't actually gone through all of the steps to find out in a controlled way, so I guess the only way to find out is to try it :-)
Very nice tutorial. Thank you.
Why did you stop posting videos ? Your 50mm review was excellent
I haven't stopped entirely, just been busy. I don't make any money from these videos, and they're a bit tedious to make, so they're not my top priority. But more are coming, soon.
Absolutely understand. I was trying to do video in my woodworking shop. 8 hours for 10 min video. NO income. So now I have gone back to photography as a NEW Professional justbartee.com WOW very hard to break into the market in Atlanta GA !!
I am a very big Sigma fanboy. 70-200 Older model 85mm and 105 macro. I have Canon 24-105 red line and the Canon 50mm 1.4
I have found that buying the older lens is pretty good for me. I am looking at this Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM FLD I need a very wide lens. I also really like the Sigma 35mm ART
Thanks for responding... I subbed ...
can u include ef 24-70mm f/2.8 II at 35mm range in the next video?
Ahh... that would be interesting, wouldn't it? I'll see if I can work that. There are already enough 35mms to look at to fill out about a dozen different videos :-)
Best lens review I've seen, and Iv'e seen a thousand of them. Perfect pace and visual aids.
credo che tu abbia invertito i prezzi del tamron con quello canon
Great video. Very well done. I have question. I have Nikon D610 FX. I been using the Tamron 28-75 which has no VC, I been think of upgrading to Nikon 24-70 but its very expensive and at this moment I cannot afford it. Do you think the Tamron 24-70 will be better than the Tamron 28-75? Thank you for your time
Hi John,
Yes, the 24-70 is sharper, at least at the wide end. It's significantly sharper in the center of the frame, but only a bit sharper away from the center, when they're stopped down to f/5.6 or so, they end up being about the same. They're actually pretty comparable overall.
- Matt
Matt. Thank you
Thank you
Excellent detailed review!
Best lens review comparison on YT. Thank you, sir!
what tripod do you use? I'm in the market for one and completely lost.
I have several in different sizes that I use depending on the application. I have a pair of old SLIK u212s that were great but I never use them anymore. I have a small carbon fiber tripod made by Oben (B&H house brand that they gave to me. It's pretty nice, but not perfect). I also have a larger, more sturdy Vanguard. My favorite is a set of Manfrotto carbon fiber legs, which have flip locks instead of twist locks. I prefer flip locks, although that's just a matter of personal preference... there are advantages to each.
wow, such quality of your review!
much props!

Matthew, awesome review as usual. Thanks for taking the time to produce these. I'd like to vote on the 35mm review as your next project.
Thanks :-) I've started on the 35mm review. In fact, I've finished shooting for the next two videos. Today I'm flying to Portugal and on to Switzerland, but once I get some time to settle down and work (probably in Croatia in a few weeks), I'll start working on the actual videos.
Great review, Matthew! Thanks

J.J. Abrams would love the tamron
Great Videos! So very informative!
How is the performance of the Tamron 15-30 f2.8 after so many years of use?
After 4 years of sand ,wind ,rain ,snow and many drops ,mine still work perfectly well.
They just announced a much improved 2nd generation version. Ships in Nikon first then 3 weeks later in Canon.
Very nice review and comparison
