Tamron 70-200 f/2.8 on an Entry Level Camera (Nikon/Canon) - Demo and Review!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2024
- The 70-200 f/2.8 is a go-to lens for many professional photographers. I got my hands on a Tamron 70-200 f/2.8 and decided to see how it performs on an entry level crop sensor camera. I used my trusty Nikon D3400 for this demo, but I could have used any entry level compatible camera in the Nikon or Canon range (D3500, D5600, D7200, Canon T7i, T6i, etc.).
Regardless of brand (Tamron, Nikon, Canon, Sony), the 70-200 f/2.8 is a GREAT versatile lens, but is it worth the money? The answer will depend on your needs:). I have shot the same range from Nikon, Canon, and Sony and feel Tamron is on par with all three.

Whenever I think about upgrading my camera from D3400, I watch your videos to say to myself that D3400 is very capable. I got the tripod, nifty fifty and the 35mm on your suggestion and they did not let me down so far. Thank you :)
Glad to be of help!:) I have taken many shots with various cameras and feel the D3400 along with many others in the same line are capable of capturing great images. A great shot is not necessarily the result of expensive gear, rather a great shot is the result of a photographer's ability to use the gear:).
8:58 the perfect time for the background music and the photo with the guy laughing/smiling. 👍 great video.
LOL - I discovered the same after I laid the music down ... a good unplanned overlap:).
True true! 😂👍
I was about to say the same thing. You beat me to it.
Oh the delicious crispness of being able to do lower ISO at high shutter speeds 😭😭😭 These images are so beautiful. Thanks for this video and for frequently using the D3400. It's my first and current camera, that's why I like it when you shoot with it 😂
Thanks for the post/feedback Daniel and glad to be of help!:) The D3400 is a capable camera ... a bit of knowledge and experience can make it shine:).
@@RealWorld I just got this exact lens last week and am using it on the D3400 as well 😆 I loooove it. It's quite heavy, but I feel like it's worth it. Just a question though: have you tried the G2 version? Is it so much better than this one?
I do photography for my Fire Department, and my 2 lenses i use are the 24-70 and the 70-200 G2, both Tamron on my Nikon 7200. Love those lenses and allows me to run and gun and capture it all!
Sounds like a great setup Dave!:) A few years ago I happen to have my camera gear with me as I drove to the gym. On the way I stumbled upon firefighters working to extinguish a blaze. I caught some great action shots that I later sent to the fire department. The 70-200 f/2.8 would be a great lens to pair with the 7200.
@@RealWorld sometimes you get the greatest captures when you least expect it!
I really appreciate the videos you make. It's great to see photography from the real world. In the aspect of not having an unlimited budget to have the latest and greatest, in using what we have and coming out with great shots! Thank you for your great work.
Agreed and appreciate the feedback!:)
I was looking at one of the videos (for Tamron 70-200 MM 2.8) and then in the right corner saw your thumbnail with this lens and dropped that video and oh man your presentation is so simple yet so powerful and skill is just great :) and the best part is you don't just recommend expensive glass like most of YTers do who are just 20-30-35 Year old, you know this profession really well and guide all the people in the right direction (rather than expensive/Wide open aperture is better)
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) I am a firm believer - awesome shots are not so much about the gear as there are about the photography's ability to use whatever equipment and compose a shot:).
The Tamron 70-200 is one of my main go to lenses for a wide variety of projects. Even though I use a different camera body now, I started out with a Nikon D3400 and I recommend it to anyone starting out in photography. It is such a capable entry level camera. Combine the D3400 with the Tamron 70-200 and you have an excellent combination. Along with learning the fundamentals of photography and a willingness to experiment, I would say good glass is one of the top most important elements in photography. This lens is a must have if at all possible. It is great to see you do this demo and review Mark.
Thanks for the post/feedback and agreed!:) Good glass is an important factor to consider. No need to get a great camera body and attach poor quality glass ... resulting images will be sub-par. Some will think bad images are a result of a bad camera when they should first consider the glass:).
I'm about 90,000 shots into a D3300, it's a beast. Thanks for this review.
wow - 90k tells you have gotten some good use from the camera - NICE! :)
That lens is amazing! I had it on my D7100! It is fast, crisp and the bokeh is beautiful! The stabilization is crazy good! Strongly advise the investment! I have since sold it along with my Nikon gear and invested in a Fuji X-T3 system and the Fuji 50-140 f/2.8 is their answer to the 70-200mm....but that Tamron is hard to beat!
Thanks for the post/feedback Steve!:) The X-T3 is a nice/solid body ... thinking to do a review on it at some point:). Agreed with you comments on the Tamron as well ... the VC works very well in my opinion - no noticeable issues.
Great video as always! For those like me who cannot afford a lens at this level, I would recommend looking for a used 80-200 F2.8 Nikon AF-D lens - I bought one in great shape for about $350. No image stabilization, and heavy, but has a tripod collar, built like a tank, and takes great photos. It is manual focus on 3000 and 5000 series cameras, but works well on 7000 series and models like the D300 and above. Just a possible alternative - cheers!
Thanks for the post/tip ... sounds like a good alternative:).
Because of your videos I was bought Nikond3400.. now i consider what to buy from telephoto lens, and again you give me the answer.
Keep it with good work!
Glad to be of help Greg!:) This a solid lens with a wide aperture - great for sports, etc. I also see many photographers use this lens for portraits.
Great video. I love your video so much because it caters to the category to which we belongs(beginners). I have watch several videos on photography but it is your channel which ultimately pulls me back everytime. Keep it up.
Thanks for the post and glad to be of help!:)
Always look forward to your videos especially since we both use the D3400. I just recently purchased the Tamron 24-70 G2 and I love it. Can't wait to get the 70-200 whenever I recoup from my 24-70 purchase lol.
Thanks for the post Eric!:) Yeah - the 70-200 is a bit pricey but should retain it's value:). The 24-70 is a solid lens as well.
I'm truly impressed with the combination of both the camera and len. I am not getting rid of either.
Wow... This was an excellent video. I really liked the raw video to set up the scene followed by your shots. Big fan!
Thanks for the post and glad to be of help!:)
A big thank you for all the effort and time you spend creating this content. Very helpful videos that you post freely, full of useful information and tips. I wish you the best and be safe!!!
Appreciate your feedback and glad to be of help!:) I started this channel years ago to simply help people:).
Glad you've posted a new video! Invested in this lens, no regrets, but it is heavy. Will always keep my fixed 50, but the options from the 70 to 200 have been worth it. The VC options really help. At least than half the price of the Nikon, well it's a great piece if glass in my opinion.
Thanks for the post Christy!:) I have another video on way regarding light painting ... lots of fun and very interesting/cool results in my opinion:). Nonetheless, I plan to break it down and show some sample photos so stay tuned. LOL - agreed ... relatively heavy lens, keep the fixed 50mm but lean on the 70-200 whenever flexibility is needed:).
I really admire your straightforward approach to photography.
Thanks and respect.
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help Rajay:).
I have been using this lens for near 2 years on my Nikon D500. Excellent lens for the money.
Thanks for the post/feedback Jeff:). Ahhhh yes, I reviewed the D500 - a great camera and I suspect even better with the 70-200 ... sounds like a great combination for sports/wildlife/etc.:).
No matter what is the topic of the video but your videos are very informative,good and nicely explained
I have a D3400 too and saving for a good lena
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) Lenses can be expensive but they tend to hold their value well which is good:).
ThankYou again for Showing on an entry level Camera D-3400 with another Favorite Favorites Lens I Love BigTime.!
ThankYou for the "Meda Data" That is what makes YOUR REVIEWS THE BEST.! again thanks for always including it, I am an amateur and need it BigTime, You are truly one of The Best Teachers ever.!!!

Mark, great video again. Loved those images you took with this 70-200 Lens. Also liked the comparison with Nifty Fifty Lens. Thank you and love the simplicity in your videos and the concise messages you always deliver
Thanks for the post/feedback Anuja and glad to be of help!:) I really like the fixed 50 or 35 which open to f/1.8. The big benefit to the 70-200 is f/2.8 all the way through the zoom ... nice but comes with a price:).
@@RealWorld So true Mark. I too own a 50mm and find it very sharp and true value for money. I am yet to explore 70-200mm and seeing your photographs, I am convinced this is the next lens on my list now. Thank you Mark once again for such excellent content and grounded messages that differentiates you.
When your lens is more expensive than your camera......on my wish list that lens is.
LOL ... agreed:). That can definitely happen in the world on photography:).
right! and on my wish list it will stay lol not something I could ever afford.
RealWorld just so you know because of you I actually bought the d3400..
Glad to be of help KC and hope the D3400 is treating you well!:)
RealWorld where do I start ....it did up until I watched your video on flash photography ..then started looking at off camera flash photography..so went to the d7100..then I watched your video on the fixed 50 vs the fixed 35. And now let's just say .i take decent pictures I must say thanks to the tutorials you put up..I think I have 2 projects I did on UA-cam not my best work but good enough to share with family and friends. Anyway thanks for all your videos man.
First view and first comment from France😉 thank you 👍
Thanks for the post and welcome from the United States!:)
I use this same A009N lens with a Nikon D7200 all the time. I get great action shots with this combo.
I love your presentation! I am convinced, sign me up! I wish. Thanks for all the tips.
Thanks for the post/feedback Debra!:) It's a great lens offering more options with the ability to shoot f/2.8 all the way through:).
started to watch you since I started photography. You convinced me to get a d3400 haha. good videos man.
lol - glad to be of help and hope you have enjoyed the journey!:) more to come so stay tuned:).
Hey! Don't know if you still remember me or not. I first started watch your video about explaining the manual mode and also the D3400 videos. I then believe photography isn't all about the equipment but more of the skill or idea. After considering quite awhile, I purchased a second hand d5200 for nearly 220 us dollar plus an extra battery from my cousin. You're the one I learnt and discovered the magic of raw images so I did take lots of pictures in raw. I had taken some images since I bought the camera and am very excited to maybe receive comments from you. Is there anyway I can show them to you? It would be extremely helpful! By the way, really love your work so humble as always. Keep it up :)
Ahhhh yes - great to hear from you and glad to be of help/inspiration!:) Agreed ... awesome images are the result of the photographers ability to use existing gear (any gear) and compose the shot:). Are you able to post the images anywhere and provide a link? If have an IG account, feel free to post as well.
thanks for your opinions, as always very wise and usefull. That is a nice lens indeed, super sharp, but I got instead the canon 70-300 is ii, more reach, lighter, cheaper and outstanding AF/stabilization. In my case, I prefer lighter lenses, if the package is to heavy I tend to leave the camera at home. Greetings from Chile ! Superb work as usual !
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) I reviewed the 70-300 as well - ua-cam.com/video/1RaXjNuD6ls/v-deo.html ... my lens came with a kit and stayed in the box for a long time. After putting it through the paces, I decided to use it more often:).
It looks like a sharp lens. Good examples of real world photos.
Thanks for the feedback Ron!:)
and you can use this lens for sports photography (which is what people mostly do with it because of fast AF speed and that wide aperture), planning to buy this real soon
Agreed ... the f/2.8 all the way through is nice to help achieve a fast shutter for various zoom shots (sports, wildlife, etc.).
Thanks for the information. Sounds like a handy piece of kit.
Glad to be of help Andrew ... it is a solid setup:).
........I'm in love with this review against a Crop factored camera (i officially have no interest in going full frame) .... Good bye sigma (reviews on its 70-200 Art have been disappointing) .... welcome Tamron 70-200m G2.
I have a Canon 750d and 77d

Thanks for the post and welcome to the channel!:) It's a great lens ... enjoy the ride!:)
really appreciate the amount of work you put in for us. learned a lot of things from your videos. very comprehensive review with helpful suggestions. thank you so much ❤
Good glass makes a world of difference, even on a cheaper body. Sensor is the same as the more expensive APS-C bodies, just less bells and whistles. Nice glass makes that 24mp sensor shine!
Ahhhh yes ... agreed!:) I see some people with nice sensors/cameras but bad/cheap glass. If you have a nice camera/sensor, might as well use decent glass:). The resulting image is only as good as the weakest link/component.
I love the views from Indianapolis! From Fishers here, maybe a day out shooting around would be in the works? Great video :D
Ahhhhh a fellow Hoosier and nice to see you on the board!:) Thanks for the post/feedback!:)
Wow entry Level D3400 Tamron 70-200
A combo I always wanted to see used.!Karma baby, I just had to make second response.! I am a Diamond 💎 follower

kindred indeed
Thanks for the post!:) Funny to see the 70-200 attached to the D3400 body but it works!:)
Those low light shots were beautiful. It seems like a really great glass but the price of it corresponds to that too :)
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) Agreed - it is a bit pricey:). The real benefit is the ability to open the aperture all the way through the zoom.
Ok, you're really making me buy that lens. Would you make a review of the 70‐ 300mm from Nikon?
Big fan of your videos, man. I've gotten the same camera, and you keep showing me that gear doesn't matter that much.
LOL - it is a great lens for various reasons:). Nonetheless, I have a video on the 70-300 which can be found here - ua-cam.com/video/1RaXjNuD6ls/v-deo.html ... as I retrieved the link, I remember shooting the video and taking a bunch of shots with the lens - it was coooold that day:).
as usual loved your video. have learnt a great deal from you. keep em coming.
Thanks for the feedback Karen!:) Stay tuned as I have more on the way!:)
Thank you very much for doing this video. I'm getting this lense using on my D3500
Glad to be of help and enjoy the ride!:)
Very good video, i'm on the go for buying this lens for my D7200.
Some people telling that have some front back focusing problem.
I have not noticed any significant front to back issues ... note the minimal focal distance though which is 1.3 meters:).
Great photos and real world review, thanks Mark. Remember, shoot at will, but never use your monopod in anger. 😁
You are the best i always watch your videos here in brasil. Just loving it.
Thanks for the post and welcome from the United States!:) BTW - I took a quick look at your channel ... is that your music?
Excellent video
Love it! Quality job! Thanks 😊
Appreciate the feedback!:)
Always good information. I have both 35 and 50mm 1.8. Great lenses.
Thanks for the feedback:). Agreed ... I like both the fixed 35 and fixed 50 as well ... solid lenses:).
The video i am looking for I was searching that will 70-200 mm lens work on my d3400 and I got my answer 😊
Glad to be of help!:) I wanted to see what would happen if I paired the 70-200 on the 3000 or 5000 body ... works great:).
Have this lens on my 3400 .. Love it
this lens has in built af motor right?as our bodys have not got.it??
Vaishakh Narayanan M yes it does
I used to have same model then I sold it to get new version of it. I am 100% regret of my decision, especially this Lens has some magic color and creamy bookeh, I am planing to sell new version and get back to older version. Older version has Macro feature too I think it helps this Lens becomes more sharper.
Love your content great reviews
Thanks for the post/feedback Sid!:)
I really need to get 70/200 I do a lot of sports but I used my 18/400 and I still get goid photo but I know the 70/200 but the best choice to have thanks for sharing
Thanks for the post Mike!:) The 18-400 is a great lens and one I reviewed not too long ago ... really like the extended range. Nonetheless, the 70-200 opens all the way to f/2.8 which is nice when shooting fast action sports from a distance:).
Excelente lente, además tus fotos son muy buenas! Saludos desde Michoacán, México.
¡Gracias y bienvenidos de los Estados Unidos! :)
Thank you for a good video. Your videos always help me to make good ideas.
Love your work and great videos , just bought this lens so a great help . Many thanks
Thanks for the feedback and glad to be of help!:) A great combination in my opinion ... f/2.8 all the way through the zoom range coupled with extra reach on the crop sensor.
Actually I am long time subscriber of yours... In your earlier videos you will mention the photos that you click are of aperture priority or shutter speed priority like that... But you missed that in this video... Learners like me would love to know about it... Thanks a lot for teaching... Love from India...🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hi
I'm new into photography.I own Nikon D3300.I also have Nikkor 55-200mm lense.Should I upgrade to Tamron 70-200 ?
Your pictures are beautiful !
Thanks for the post/feedback/question:). Would I recommend upgrading? Depending on your needs, yes. The Nikon 55-200 is f/4-5.6 whereas the Tamron 70-200 is f/2.8 all the way through. I know a good number of professional photographers who use this lens for portraits. The f/2.8 gives a nice soft bokeh which is great for close-ups/portraits/etc.
Enjoyable video - thanks!
Thanks for the post/feedback Ron!:) Fun to make:).
35mm or 50mm primes vs 85mm or 135mm primes for portraits - shorter lenses tend to make brows, noses, chins etc seem more prominent. Not a drawback for men, but it can be for women. Longer lenses sort of flatten the face a little.
Interesting note ... I have seen this with wide angle lenses but not much with the fixed 35 nor the fixed 50. Wide angle lenses create a bowing effect which may cause the center object to bend forward a bit:).
Hi,
I have the nikon 55-300 F3.5/F5.6 and I really like it . it is really great for steady shoots but not for actions. off course , to be able to open the aperture to 2.8 is great but the price is also great 1400$ USD.
at the moment I found sigma 17-50 2.8 great as all around lens as well for portraits . I own also both nikon 50mm 1.8 and 35mm 1.8 but found that I sigma is more versatile.
Now my big concern is about mirrorless cameras and how to attache these old lenses to the new cameras ....
thanks for the review,great as always!!
Hi Sir, love your videos. They are very unbiased and honest. I am confused between buying D750 & 24-120mm f4 VR kit or, D7500 (same sensor as D500) +18-140mm f/5.6 kit & Tamron 70-210mm f4 VC. Price is same for both combination around 1700 USD. I don't need the D500 features because i am not in birding. The D850 is out of budget around 3100 USD. I love Bigcats and i shoot mainly bigcats in the wild and a few landscapes (not a priority). I hate noise and would love to get some good background separation in bushes where the background is not very far away from the subject, for example a tiger. D750 has excellent ISO performance but reduces the reach than crop bodies but it has 10mp DX mode if i need extra reach. I currently own the D3400 and 18-55 VR and 70-300mm f/6.3 VR kit (its very sharp and fast but background separation is not very good) and recently got a used Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6 VR for 650 USD. The D3400 mount seems very fragile for the heavy 200-500mm, it seems risky.
What combination will be best for low noise and good background separation (for ISO upto 6400, if needed a bit further also)-
1) D750+200-500mm f/5.6 & D3400+24-120mm f/4
2) D7500+200-500mm f/5.6, & D3400+70-210mm f/4.
The 18-55mm & 70-300mm kit lens will also be with me.
Thanks for the post/feedback/question!:) You have done your research!:) Many bird/wildlife photographers will choose a crop sensor because of the reach (like the D500). Nonetheless, the full sensors are nice and provide more recovery from various situations (high ISO, cropping, etc.). I shot with the 7000 series for many years as well ... the 7000 series leverages a similar sensor as found in the 3000 and 5000 series, however the 7000 series has AF built into the body and is well constructed (weather sealed). If given the option, I would lean towards #1 (the D750) ... the D750 is solid:).
@@RealWorld Yes i really like the colors and depth of field of full frame sensors. I am also leaning towards the D750 since i don't do birding a lot, only bigcats and other mammals. I think a clean image at 500mm is better than a noisy image at 750mm. If in any situation there's no other way, i could switch to DX mode.
I bought the D3400 after watching all your videos.
So, i am buying the D750 with the 24-120 f/4 kit or if possible with a Tamron 70-210 f/4.
Thank you so much.
@@stripes_in_raw d500 is THE BEST crop sensor camera Nikon makes.. it is not just for birding. You shoot in the elements with a Nikon d3400? That entry level camera will not last (no sealing of any kind). Sell that 3400 as well as the junky kit lenses it came with and put the money towards a d500 if wild life and nature photography is truly what you shoot. It's AF capabilities as well as ISO performance rivals and even surpasses the d750.
@@donathan82 no it doesn't surpass D750 in ISO. It may in studio lighting conditions under High ISO but not in real jungles, it doesn't. Compare them both in 500px or flikr in scenarios like maasai mara at dawn and dusk and see the differences between D500 and D750 above 3200 ISO till 10000 ISO. Sharpening and Details are both different things. A sharpened image in post with noise reduction simultaneously looks bad compared to a not so sharpened but detailed image out of the camera. For Birding D500 is no brainer because of AF and Buffer. For mammals D7500 is enough because of same sensor. No one needs more 51 points AF to click mammals. The D3400 is an excellent camera with the 70-300mm, not a junk at all. Got many images featured by BBC earth insta page and also many in exhibitions and twice in Top 10s only with the D3400 and 70-300mm DX VR.
@@stripes_in_raw bbc earth insta page? Top 10s? LOL. Stop! Please, provide these exquisite published pictures with a link. Include the EXIF info. Gotta make sure it's yours!
USD - I'm already envious, and haven't watched the video yet 😁
Recently put my Sigma 18-250mm up for sale; no takers yet, but I'm semi-patient.
If nothing happens at the end of the month I'll hit up a shop and see how much I can get in a trade-in for it.
Still stuck on whether to get a proper prime or macro lens - Time will tell.. I hope 😄
First up is getting my license back, so I'll be able to travel more easily in 2020 👍
E) Not only are you better at taking pictures of butterflies *ON YOUR FIRST GO* but Nuphars as well! 😶😑
*Takes of crying*
Hahaha, nah I'm just kidding - You're excellent Mark, and I really love your photos and _all_ the info you give.
Not just on the kit, but also on/in the photos.
Oh and 6:20 is probably my favorite picture ( *tries not to linger on the butterfly photos* ) hahaha
Also enjoy all the effort you put into showing your equipment, like your tripods and flashes in earlier videos.
Went out and bought a tripod similar to yours in January, and have two flashes identical to yours as well haha..
Not in an attempt to replicate, but knowing how good results you [can] get with 'budget' gear is awesome, and you *are* an inspiration 😊
Practice makes 'perfect' - I just have long way to go before reaching it :D
People in Europe, try looking for other brands than K&F. At least when I bought from Amazon.de the Andoer version was cheaper, and is similar.
Take note; you might want clamps instead of the twist system. I liked them to begin with, but honestly I'd rather have the clamps - To each their own 😊
Thanks for the post/feedback/info!:) Lots of fun shooting with this lens ... spent the day taking shots and having a good time. The butterflies were interesting as I never tried to capture them before ... fun to see what happens when leveraging continuous mode and shoot away:). Someone will certainly be interested in the 18-250 lens. You might consider the Nikon fixed 40mm f/2.8 ( amzn.to/2AY9ffT ) ... this is a true macro lens capable of shooting solid portraits as well. I used the lens on my macro video ( ua-cam.com/video/TzdY3azkzYc/v-deo.html ) and might do a full review on it relatively soon:). Regarding tripods ... I like both but had a few cheaper clamps break on me. The twist will not break but can become difficult to twist over time:).
@@RealWorld Thanks for the suggestion - Probably never would've considered it, but it's pricetag is ~300$ even here in EU/Denmark!
Omw out of the door to shoot some pictures while the sun is finally blessing me with some light, and try my chinese fixed 50 again - Need to see if I still find it 'to zoomy', or if it's just me 😁
Thanks for the insight on clamps. Honestly I should probably just use the twisties some more and finally learn them (that's my issue - Not locking them properly then having my tripod 'slip'n'slide' haha).
Also I forgot to mention the Andoer monopod uses a different thread size so people/I need a 'converter'.
This is a great lens. I was lucky to buy one for $300!!!
This is on my wishlist.
Bought a mint second hand for 480£ 645 dollars. It was a steal, brilliant lens on my nikon d7500
Nice and fast lens. I think I'll start saving for one. Thanks!
It's a solid lens ... the versatility of f/2.8 all the way through the zoom range is nice:).
@@RealWorld The f/2.8 through the range is what really sold me on it.
I love your videos! u're amazing
Thanks for the post Roy and glad to be of help/inspiration!:)
I can’t get it to attach to my rebel t7
Hmmm ... this should definitely fit/work:).
My Nikon 3400 is saying the lens is incompatible. I need help please.
If you are using a Nikon lens and see the message, check the connector pins on both body of the camera and the lens. if they look fine and you have tried to detach and re-attach the lens with no luck, i suspect a problem with the lens or body. if other lenses work, the issue is with the lens.
What about wedding photography tell me the sharpness of this non vc and non sp varient
Is that the original model?

A G1 of the Tamron 70-200mm f2.8, eh? How about using a G2 of that particular lens to a much model of camera like D3000, D40, or the D1? 🤔
Hoping for that kind of video.
Will need to see if I can get my hands on the G2:)

What is the difference with the other Tamron 70-200 listed price is $769.00
Great question as I believe Tamron came out with a newer version of this lens ... both are solid and the form factor changed slightly.
The nicest guy on UA-cam! I just gave you a follow on insta!
Thanks for the post/feedback and welcome to the channel Jeremy!:)
I just bought this lens. I usually shoot in P or S mode jpeg. Can I keep the aperture on with this lens or do I need to lock it in what aperture I'm going to think I need when shooting? Is it going to work with ot against the automatic aperture in my camera if I leave the lens one on? I'm shooting with a nikon D5600.
Thanks for the post/question and hope you are enjoying the lens (great lens:))! You can leave the aperture on and let the camera do the work:).
Brother plz help me i have the same lens with canon eos 600 D but my aperture remains variable. It increases with zoom which reduces my image quality. When i use the same lens on Canon 1200 D it does happen. What to do plz help me..
Would this lens fit a Nikon D3200? I know it's kind of an old camera...just wondering if it works
Yes, this will fit and work well with the D3200:)
Is this a G1 or g2 ? I want to get for the nikon d750 for soccer matches
G1 but still a great choice!:)
Nice photographs.
Thanks for the feedback!:) A fun filled day with lots of opportunities to take some great shots:).
Thanks man!
Thanks a lot. Very helpful!!
Great images, I have just purchased a Canon 250d and am thinking of this lens to capture dog photography, do you think the 2 would be a good combo for pet photography?
a bit late on the reply but yes, this would be a good addition to capture pets :)
I want to do sports with my d3500
Indoor/outdoor Baseball , softball, football, volleyball and basketball I’m not a professional just want to step up my game a bit Been using the kit lenses for a few years now and been using a fixed 50 as well
Would this be a good recommendation ? Also use it for some
Casual videos with my d3500 ?
Thanks for the post/question:). Yes, this would be a great lens for sports. I used the same lens for football, softball/baseball, volleyball, soccer, etc.:) Since the f/2.8 carries all the way through the zoom range, you will have good light at 200 which is great when you are on the sidelines. I really like the fixed 50 f/1.8 and fixed 35 f/1.8 as well:).
thnx for your clear explanation
YW and glad to be of help!:)
this .....or the 24-70 mm for nikon d7500 ?
this is a GREAT lens if you need more reach with a wide aperture. if you do not need the extra reach, stay with the 24-70:).
Mark, are you still posting to UA-cam? I don't use Instagram, unfortunately.
Looking at buying the A001E, EF mount, Tamron 70-200 2.8. I think its the 1st generation? Does anyone know where to find more info on it? Ive been looking. Im a beginner and I only have Canon kit lenses, so I know the newer Tamrons are better but I can get this lens at a great price for now. Any thoughts on that earlier model? I have a Canon 80d.
Thanks for the post/question:). This is a solid choice in my opinion (1st gen 70-200). After putting the lens through the paces, I feel it is a great option and you will not miss much between the 1st and 2nd gen.
@RealWorld Thank you for saying that. I paid $75 for it with the tripod mount, case and original box. Everything looks brand new, so I'm happy with it.
WOW - that is a great deal!:)
Great vid as usual. Is there anywhere on the market a monopod that is heavy-duty enough to be used as a trekking pole?
Thanks for the feedback and great question!:) I need to conduct a bit more research on a monopod that can be converted to a trekking pole ... Robert's Camera had one or two but I did not look close enough ... I may take a closer look the next time I am in there.
On a budget would the Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 Di LD (IF) Macro AF Lens vs Tamron SP 70-200mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 .. Would the older version be worth the current price instead of buying the new version .. Pro's vs con's between the two lens ..
One of the major differences in VC (vibration control). If you have some extra money, I might stretch towards the newer version ( amzn.to/2TP7OGX ). If not, the non-VC version will produce great results as seen in this video.
Can I use with d5300 Nikon?
Is it capable?
yes, this will work with the d5300
Thank you so much sir 😁
Great video and I am a fan of your photography! I have the 18-270mm F3.5 Tamron lens with a Nikon D3300. How would this lens compare? Thanks!
Thanks for the post/feedback/question!:) While the 18-270 is a solid lens, it should not be mistaken for the 70-200:). The major difference is the aperture. The 70-200 can open to f/2.8 all the way through the zoom which means you can open to 2.8 at 200 which is awesome. The 18-270 will open to 6.3 at 270 ... not completely certain what it would open to at 200 but definitely not 2.8:).
Hi great review ! Professional and to the point. I do a lot of wildlife photography, was wondering if i can use this instead of the canon f/5.6 400 fixed that i have, its heavy and becomes cumbersome without a tripod ....
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) Depending on your distance to subject and your willingness to crop, yes - this is a great option. The f/2.8 all the way through is nice and this lens is much less bulky compared to the fixed 400:).
@@RealWorld thank you so much! Cheers!
Hi, a very useful clip. beautiful pictures, thanks!
thanks for the post/feedback!:)
@@RealWorld With great pleasure, my friend
Hi, I want to ask you what do you think of a monopod (in general ...), but of this type / Manfrotto Element Monopod Aluminum red. Thanks.
I have a tripod that converts to a monopod and also have a dedicated monopod. When I received my dedicated monopod, I thought I would use it more but that was not the case:). I rarely use my monopod. Why? Monopod pods are great if you have a heavy heavy lens ... like a fixed 400 or perhaps the 70-200 on a long day (standing on the sidelines of football game, etc.). When I shoot with the 70-200, I am typically walking around with the camera/lens slung around my shoulders, etc. ... no need for a monopod.
@@RealWorld Hi, thank you very much.
Спасибо за обзор!
Juuust a bit curious: Are you staying with DSLRs, or are you moving on to mirrorless?
I like the added features 'and better tracking/focusing' but daayuuum does it come with a pricetag 😶
Since I'm only taking pictures for myself, and even *if* I start taking some work doing portraits etc. I'll still be sticking with the D3400.
I think I won't make the jump until 'I get serious with it', and by then I'll probably sacrifice the D3400 for some mods or maybe give it away to a family member 😊
The only thing that nags me a bit is the inevitable 'money pit' that is lenses - Once I start having +5 lenses or something like that it'll probably annoy me a bit that I could've had a mirrorless body and just 1 nice lens.. 🤷♂️ Ah well.. 1st world issues I guess :D
- And oh! I did hit up a shop that was even willing to put aside the 40mm macro lens you recommended!
Still didn't get a quote on my Sigma; they want it in hand first.. I'm just sure I'll get into an argument with them about the noisy glass, and they might claim it's broken..
*Puts lens on camera, and makes it shut up* 😄
I did put it up for sale on facebook and an 'ebay' danish site, but no takers yet - If the shop offers ~200$ I'll take it, even if it's less than I'm asking atm 😊
Ahhhhh yes, the debate between mirror and mirrorless:). I have given this a good amount of thought over recent years. While there are some benefits to mirrorsless, I feel both result in great images which is the most important aspect to any camera in my opinion. I am looking to get my hands on the Sony A7 III at some point and possibly make the jump but like you, I would need to swap out various lenses:). This might be worthy of a video at some point as I have many thoughts on the subject. Regarding the 40mm ... nice!:) A great lens with true macro capabilities. I might create a full review video on the lens ... used it in the macro video but did not put it through the full pace/test for my viewers.
Great video as always 👏 Can you suggest a budget telephoto lens for d3400 to shoot wildlife ... Can I go with 70 300 dx ed vr (or) are there any other manufacturers' lens around that budget
Thanks for the post/feedback/question:). Ahhh yes, I did a review on the 70-300 which I found to be surprisingly good - ua-cam.com/video/1RaXjNuD6ls/v-deo.html ... check the description on the video for a link to the lens. In addition, you might look for a used 70-300. Nikon included the 70-300 non VR in a kit which was a good deal (that is what I tested). Nikon also sells the 70-300 VR which is nice because it includes VR:).
Nikon 3500 d can use this lence
yes - not a problem :)
