Hi Dustin, Thanks for such a detailed review! I read your text reviews of this lens both for Sony E and Fuji X mount. One thing I would like to add here is that the flaring issues that you noticed were more pronounced on the Sony than the Fuji is (I realized) not because of the lens coatings being slightly different, but rather because of internal reflections and poor flare handling /sensor reflections of Sony A6400 and A6100. If you have bright lights at the corners/edges of the frame like street lights there is nasty blooming and flaring will all lenses attached to these Sony bodies. I checked this with Sony, Sigma, Viltrox, Tamron lenses. These issues almost don't exist on Fuji or Nikon. The Sony A6600 also does not suffer from this. To confirm this further, I actually hand held a Sigma 18 50 F2.8 for E mount on the mount of the A6100 without actually attaching it and pointed at a light bulb to see the flare pattern. Then I took the same E mount lens and held it over my Fuji XT30 and the flares were almost non existent. I had bought the A6100 for its AF but have had to stop using it at night because of these flaring issues and reverted back to the XT30. Sorry for the long text but wanted to highlight this as you would probably be able to dig deeper into this much better than what I could.
you always helped me with my purchases and i'm just thankful for your helps comments and videos and explanations which always leads me to be happy with my purchases. thank you for being so great to your audience and me 🌹
I really wish they would put these in the more fully featured "G2" lens build they have rolled out on the likes of the 28-75 and some of their other recent releases. Still, good to see this finally make it's way over from sony, always good to have options and maybe this will inspire Fuji to improve upon their 10-24.
Wonderfully thorough as always. Curious how this lens performs with action? Looking into the Fuji X for my children (they are on Fuji Bridge Cameras) and this looks like a great wide/indoor lens to share. Thanks Dustin!
Autofocus seems fast enough to keep up, so I don't see why it wouldn't work for that application. I got good results with Nala moving around fairly quickly.
I have ,and am very happy with, several Fujifilm X series bodies, from the, to extent that it may be relevant, the obviously not so new, but still capable XT20, XT2 and , as luck would have it, an open box S10, purchased some 6 weeks' prior to the release of the S20! I already have the Fujifilm 8--24, which performs perfectly well for my non pixel peeping needs. I have no desire, or need, to acquire one of the new Fuji mega large file producing bodies. The Tamron, seemingly as with all its new lens releases, be they FF mirrorless, or apsc, have done an excellent job in producing a top quality value for money lens. That said, my current Fuji wide angle lens will remain with me, I simply don't see the value for money equation in selling my current Fuji lens so I could fund the Tamron purchase. Clearly different considerations may have come into play had I not already owned the less expensive, but still perfectly competent Fuji lens. Although the following comment applies to FF mirrorless, the ongoing opening of various camera systems would, one would have thought, simply add pressure on Canon to open up the RF system, yes, that's an entirely different story.
It is definitely true that moving up to high resolution bodies creates some pressure to upgrade to newer/better lenses...which is probably at least part of the motivation of these brands for pushing the resolution envelope.
hi, Dustin, love the vedio as always but can you add an specific time stamp on the time table so we know where to skip to to avoid the sponsered countant? or at least only include the sponser in the introduction and not in the build and feture category. :)
In wide angle lenses, a single digit difference in focal length can be very different in angle of coverage, let alone even the nine on this lens. Bi-pedal zoom works reasonably well in the "standard" range of focal lengths of 40mm to 75mm but rarely beyond that unless the bi-pedal zoom we're discussing is also called "a hike."
This Lens is something like a 16-35 on FF, which is a really Common Video lens. If you have this one, a 18-50 and a 50-135 you have the common three Lenses in equivalent to full Frame.
HI DUSTIN, THRE HAVE BEEN REPORTS ABOUT VIDEOS SHOT WITH NEW SONY ALPHA CAMERAS CAUSING MORE EYE STRAIN. ANY SIMILAR EXPERIENCE REGARDING THIS? ALSO MANY CONTENT CREATORS USING NEW FULL FRAME SONY CAMERAS ARE GETTING PUFFY AND SWOLLEN EYES DUE TO THE EXCESS STRAIN. HOW IS YOUR EXPERIENCE?

That's very interesting feedback. But yes, the flare was definitely less on the Fuji.

Thank you for this excellent detailed review Dustin!
My pleasure!

Thus far we haven't seen any of that treatment for their APS-C lenses, though I don't disagree with you on this point.
Thinking of getting rid of a lot of my older big fuji lenses- 10-24, and 18-55 (for the Sigma). These new 3rd part are excellent.
Agreed.
Thanks
My pleasure.

@@DustinAbbottTWI Thanks! What body were you testing with?
I used both an X-H2 along with the new X-S20
Your reviews are always top notch! Nice lens; too bad it’s got no aperture ring markings.
That's fair.

please review xf8mm f3.5 when it comes out. I need to decide between it and the Tamron 11-20. Great review! Thx!!
I'm working on the review already!
@@DustinAbbottTWI what's the ETA of that review? I am very excited to see it.
why its 3mm shorter. it should be 11-23mm.
but its good to see there is a new options for wide zoom lens for APSC
I can't answer that, but I suspect that Tamron chose a smaller focal range that they could do well without compromising the optical performance.
hi, Dustin, love the vedio as always but can you add an specific time stamp on the time table so we know where to skip to to avoid the sponsered countant? or at least only include the sponser in the introduction and not in the build and feture category. :)
Done!
@@DustinAbbottTWI thank you so much :)
the range of zoom on this makes you think why not just... uhh get a prime in the range and just zoom with feet, or just stitch two
Perhaps, though that's not always possible either in nature, but, in particular, indoors.
In wide angle lenses, a single digit difference in focal length can be very different in angle of coverage, let alone even the nine on this lens. Bi-pedal zoom works reasonably well in the "standard" range of focal lengths of 40mm to 75mm but rarely beyond that unless the bi-pedal zoom we're discussing is also called "a hike."

I have to say that the distortion is alot less compared to the FUJI 10-24 where its crazy distorted at 10mm
There is definitely some advantages for the Tamron.
How does this lens compare to the 10-24?
It's optically superior

I've seen no such issue.
