- An interesting take on the 70-300 archetype, with a wider angle.
All pictures taken by me on Sony a7R III and a5100 cameras.

Been waiting for your review of this lens, and want to see your review of the 28-300. The good thing is that you use the same tests, so its easy to compare performance.
Tamron:
Designs a telephoto lens.
Makes it sharp at the telephoto end.
Finally someone understood the f-ing assignment!
Tamron 40 years ago makes lens for all mounts, 40 years later does it for 1 mount
Unfortunately the 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD Lens for Sony E isn't as sharp at the telephoto end, but decent enough for me.
@@Exhaustscavenger They make lenses for Fuji and Nikon too. Sony gets the most and gets theirs first because they own 15% of Tamron.
Can’t wait to see your testing on the new Tamron 90mm macro lens.❤
I didn't know there was a new one. Thanks for mentioning it. Hope Chris would be able to test it soon.
How does this compare to the Tamron 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di III-A2 VC VXD?
seems to be much sharper at telephoto end which is often an issue with these long zoom ranges
That is a APS-C lens so it won't cover a full frame sensor
Been using it for around three weeks now. Other than the moving inner parts the only other downside i have on mine is a constant humming noise and the occasional loud autofocus. Id say image quality has been superb for my uses. Especially enjoyed it for Moon photography.
This humming noise is also in tamron 150-500, at first I was concerned, but 2 years later and still works perfectly fine ;d
Not bad for a lens like that. It'll get the job done. For some parent taking photos at the sidelines of their kids' game that's useful.
Ok, still over 100g heavier than the 70-300mm lol. I've mentioned in a video about the new firmware update for the 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD Lens for Sony E is still the world's lightest lens in the range (this looks smaller though!). I now understand why Tamron was holding off on releasing that firmware update. I'd love to have that lock, the 70-300mm drives me nuts when I'm carrying it and it's extending by itself. Stabilization is a nice "to have".
still waiting for Tamron 90/2.8 Macro
Is it a big enough upgrade over their 70-300 in terms of image quality? - my biggest frustration with the 70-300 is lack of OIS though.
Was looking for your review of this lens just yesterday but couldn’t find it unfortunately, now here it is! You’re the best, thanks!
Hi Christoph, very nice review as allways. Tamron's ability of close focus is great at 50mm, but what about 300mm? It would be great to add this information in tests of zooms. Please consider it. Thanks!
Damn this is a killer
Very good review 🙂
I wished there is a battle between zoom lenses : 50-300 Tamron, 50-250 Nikon, 50-210 Sony etc...
I have the recent Tamron 28-300mm and, for what it is, it's a great all-around walking lens. Like any zoom lens, the wider the focal range, the more compromises you tend to make, but I do believe its image quality is better than the Nikon 28-300mm on my older DSLRs. I can't say for sure, since I don't have that Nikon lens any longer, but that's my general impression. I'd be interested in seeing a matchup between the Tamron 28-300mm and this 50-300mm.
Heavier and larger than the tamron 28-300, although you get a wider aperture at the long end (6.3 vs 7.1) I wonder how it compares throughout the zoom range.
Weak VR, great image quality, works on Z6 with ETZ21.
I don't know for Tamron, but for Canon, rattling lens elements can be normal, it's usually image stabilizer assembly.
What happens is if you unmount the lens while the camera is on, the IS assembly isn't parked, in this case you'll want to shut the camera off and wait a few seconds for the elements to park. And in this case near to no rattling.
We need a APS-C version of this! Currently APS-C seriously lacks high quality lightweight telephoto zoom.
Nikon Z 50-250 is absolutely awesome if you have an APS-C Nikon.
Unfortunately, at 300mm+ there is almost no room for saving weight or size with smaller sensors, they don't make such zooms because it's not profitable, the Sony 70-350 is the best you can get and probably nothing better will ever be made.
That is the 28-200 i guess. Which translate to 42 to 300mm
Please review the Voigtlander ultra wide set - 10mm, 12mm, 15mm :)
I can't wait for the Z-mount rebranded to Nikon and 50% more expensive version of this lens.
Looks like a great landscape lens on both FF and crop. Leave it at f/8 and shoot away!
Do review 28-75mm 2.8 z mount lens.
7:27 300mm f/1 ?! That must be a some sort of record!
Overall looks very good.
Lovely review 🙏
Goooood eeeeevening
Colour rendering seems flat.
Nothing to do with the lens.
I own the older Tamron 70-300 (with the latest firmware installed just today) In your opinion, would it be worth trading up to this new 50-300; would I gain enough of an IQ bump up to offset the slight weight/size increase and the slight decrease in light gathering . I am using it primarily on an a6700 and and an a7c.Thank you Christopher for your enjoyable videos.
Where I am the 70-300 is less than half the price of this new lens and I can't really fault mine. It is exceedingly portable compared to other teles and it performs well enough for me, except 70-90mm corners. It has pretty nice bokeh at 300mm just like this lens seems to have. It also has a kind of sunstars at f/9.
@@Vantrakter I agree with you. The most annoying thing about the 70-300 is the lack of a lock switch. I do love the lightness of the lens even on a smaller camera body.
@@Vantrakter yes, it's half the price most places I think. I have it too, and agree with you.
Hey! I think you've watched my video about the firmware update?! I'm working on the full length video now.
@@chryseass.5143 I just commented about that lock as well, it's the only think that makes me a little crazy with the 70-300.
Is this a Tamron design?
?
Yes, this Tamron lens is a Tamron design.
