I did already buy this lens. The extra range with the 70mm is what I need. I get alot of candid photos that aren't always close of my family. This is the only camera I believe that has the image stabilization, especially in this price range. I figured this would help alot with my photos and require less lens changes when I'm out and about with my a6400
The Sony 18-105 with OSS is my go-to all-around lens with the a6400. I was considering the 17-70 especially with the F2.8 aperture but I'm concerned about Tamron's VC stabilization. Do you use it to shoot videos? If the result is the same as in Terry's sample footage, maybe the 17-70 would be a no-go for me. Cheers.
@@randkjournali've sold 18-105 and bought 18-135. Despite variable aperture i find it better lens for photos. Zooming is faster and it's not resetting to 18mm. Extra reach is also great.
@@wojciechkanclerski I came across a relatively inexpensive used Sony Zeiss 16-70 F4 so I went with this instead. The biggest plus with this lens is the small form-factor which has really become a big consideration for me lately especially for traveling - keeping the gear lighter and more compact. At 16mm, I get extra room at the wide end which helps offset the cropping when shooting video in 4K. I do miss the extra reach but I've learned to rely on Clear Image Zoom when necessary. For photos, I was pleasantly surprised how sharp it is (at least sharp enough for me) - which is contrary to most of the things I've read about this lens. Only drawbacks - it appears a little sluggish on autofocus and, this is not a lens to be used under bad weather conditions.
I totally enjoyed your presentation on the Tamron 17-70 2.8. I wish to compliment you on your energy, approach, Spirit, presentation and observations. Yours is an absolutely informative and refreshing approach to reviewing. Outstanding! Congratulations. Col. (Ret) D. Shaffer
I only have 2 lenses in my camera bag for my a6400. The Sigma 56mm f1.4 and the 17-70mm Tamron f2.8 and it’s the best set you can have for apsc. You can do it all with these two, events, portrait, macro, vlogging, and the reach at 70mm converted to a 105mm full frame equivalent is niceeee. The only thing I would add to my bag would be a telephoto lens for wildlife
You can get a wrist strap for those days when people come by and slap your camera out of your hands but when that happens I suspect there's other issues at hand.
Hi, Terry! Thanx for the honest review! All I've seen before yours about video shooting was like "wow! it practically makes gimbles not necessary!" I think that those people were shooting very accurately. Few days before I've bought a used Glidecam HD-2000 and was happy as a child )) I've got it just for a fraction of it's cost. It's pretty old and ppl now are obsessed with electronic gimbles like Chinese "Cranes" and etc. But once I've seen and heard all their issues I've decided to start with classics. My main lens is a very cheap XC 16-50 for Fuji. The body (X-T3) itself is claimed to be "weather protected". Meaning that I can shoot in very light rain situations easily. At least I don't need to run for some umbrella urgently. And the steadycam is on par with it. Here I like that Tamron 17-70 claimed to be "weather protected" too... But... Did you've tested how it live on -5 ~ -10C conditions? Also I imagine that I'll need about 400g more on my steadycam in the bottom (maybe 300-350 as the head in my current setup is a bit too liteweight). I'm doing my "gym" with Glidecam now almost everyday :)) So I'll become a One Punch-man if it will not kill me :))) Relatively to that "pixel snobbing"... If you've seen some cheap 7artisans lenses then maybe you'll become "converted" :)) When I've did my spontaneous buy of a used Meike 28mm lens the guy also did offered me 35mm 7Artisans for a good price (for almost 2x more than Meike)... I've found that 7Artisans can't handle sharp shots (of far away objects) even with the fully closed diaphragm! I've noticed that even my current cheap Fujicon is much better! Meike does the job very well. I've got it for ~50$ and it's a good little thing (I have no fixes yet) to shoot at night. I'm seriously thinking about this Tamron but I think I'll wait about a year and the prices for the used units will become lower since Tamron will make some better lens (they can IMO).
Still here!! amazing review by the way, you were very thorough, answered all my questions, informed me and never failed to retain my attention and interest. Much love
This is a must-have travel lens in my opinion. I have the old Tamron 28-105 f2.8, which I love and have been using adapted. But, really wish I had the autofocusing capabilities and greater contrast wide open. I think this would be an excellent lens to pair with the new fx30.
The way the bokeh works is that you get the same bokeh on the APS-C if you just walk farther back, so you actually do need the 17-70mm range to get a descent bokeh, which is going to be better for portraits, but at that focal length the lens isn't that sharp. I don't think it's a problem for 4K video, more for pixel peeping.
Already bought it and use it for mostly landscape and river photography. Got it used, so, I saved there. Collects dust, but, I will be getting a UV filter. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
For me I found the stabilization to be enough to make the difference between usable and unusable footage. I want to eventually sell my a6400 and get an a6600 which I think will be perfect for all my video needs as far as stabilization goes.
@@leeteivans2509 can't really say, because I ended up selling mine not long after that comment lol. I didn't really try vlogging with it much because I found 17mm wasn't wide enough, especially for someone as tall as myself. If you are careful with how you walk it should be usable.
Hi, I’m planning to buy this lens ( 17-70 2.8 tamron ) for photography specifically for wedding photography, covering both the ceremony and reception. My camera body is the Sony a6400. Previously, I used the Sony 18-105mm f/4 lens, but I found it lacking in sharpness. Could you please recommend a suitable lens that would provide better image quality for these types of events? Thank you!
I’ve been shooting primes my whole life and in the last year or so sold all of them for many zooms. Zooms are underrated now that their quality is relatively superb.
I was gifted this lens, just haven't picked it up yet. I was doing reviews on it because I was looking at it before someone gifted it to me. I needed a f2.8 zoom lens for my fs5 because it's not the best at low light (until you switch from iso to gain/db. Then it's much better). The vc is a big plus, it's probably not the best but the fs5 have no stabilization what so ever 😂. I'm definitely excited about using the lens. Especially for you my youtube channel!! Thx ya bruh 🙏🏽
Great video and review! I think this lens is perfect for someone like me. I shoot with an a6400 and still have the kit 16-55 lens as my wide angle/zoom and have been eyeing this lens up for a little bit. You helped seal the deal when I can afford it! Thanks!
Thank you for this post. Very informative and helpful (and also engaging and entertaining). Quite interesting to see this "wobble effect" with the Tamron 17-70mm lens. I have seen this before as well on the a6400 and the 16-50mm kit lens. For the life of me, I'm not sure what I did to fix this wobble effect issue. It could have been a firmware update or a setting I've changed. I also do not recall experiencing this issue with other Sony lenses - 18-105mm, 10-18mm, and the 28-70mm full frame kit lens. I considered getting the 17-70 for its wider aperture but I may stick with the 18-105.
I’ve been wanted to get this lens so bad! For the range you can cover with it it’s such a good price. Loved the video, and I loved listening to you in the golden hour podcast!
Thanks. About to enter into the ‘mirrorless’ cameras and was looking at this lens….very informative, think I get another brand with similar specs….looking forward to your other reviews….
Gonna slap this bad boy on my a6600. I’ve been a fan of Tamron. I have the holy trinity Tamron on my a7iii and I’m very happy with it. This is a no brainer. Thanks for this review.
I got sigma 16mm f1.4 and close focusing is very useful. Sony or full frame versions are mostly unable to do that. Major difference compared to Sony's 16-55 besides that is focusing speed, deciding would be based on those 2 points. There is one up for Sony though, if you own super wide or prime with close focus at 16mm, it's easily better to buy Sony, since you are covered for that situation.
I appreciate your energy. I was watching some other videos that were so boring. I clicked on this and was so drawn in by your enthusiasm. I’m a Sigma fan but curious about Tamron Thanks!
Top cat Terry! I see you brother, hey thanks for sharing just today I was setting at my desk trying to decide should I or shouldn't I cop this glass, and then there you are giving the really real on the very item I'm thinking about, so thank you for your very informative tutorial it was extremely helpful, This was my first time watching your channel and I truly believe I'll be all the better for it, real talk is good talk much luv brother, oh and yes I'm a coper!✌️
Using this tamron for few days, love the flexiblity and sharpness, the only issue that im unhappy with this lens is that it gives A LOT of aberration and ugly bokeh at f/2.8, mosty I use f/4 or above on this lens, cause anything below often needs a lot of post process to repair photo. On other hand it's only 800$ so it can't be perfect :D
I already bought the lens but I wish I'd watched this first, I love it but it is a little big and this is the best vid by a mile for getting a sense of scale in the hand. Also having a second camera angle to the side when u talking actually helps a lot to keep the pacing up. Great vid bro, subscribed
This makes me feel old but VR (vibration reduction or compensation or control) is not stabilisation at all. Its essentially helping you focus at 70mm apsc and keeping focus between focusing and taking the picture.
First time I've ever been told by a RUclipsr to hit the thumbs up & subscribe buttons and actually convince me to do it! Much support bro, thanks for the video
Yo Terry video is looking good man , You really stepped up that lighting game, I can dig it. anyway keep up the good reviews I'm a full frame head so I'm waiting on the next joint, likes your outlook with the A7S3 too, all right , ☮️ peace ✌🏾.
The only other lens that competes with this Tamron lens is the Sony 16-55mm G lens but that sucker is $1,300 bucks on Amazon right now! Plus it doesn't have any kind of stabilization feature. Crispy sharp imagines but that's only if your hands never move... Unless you have the a6600 with IBIS. But with IBIS and this Tamron lens that has internal stabilization feature... For $800 on Amazon? Definitely would choose Tamron for now.
The flaring is good to know about, as I was wondering if this is usable for infrared photography on my Fuji. I think I'll wait for this to be available to rent so I can test it before I buy. But seeing as how I'm all stills, this could still be good for my visible-light X-T3 for general purpose and macro! Great review!
Good review, I already have this lens on my ZV-e10 I agree it's a good lens for the money. Much better than my stock lens. I really can shoot into lower light.
Do you use this for videography? Are you experiencing the "wobble effect" with the 17-70? If so, does the Active Stabilization on the ZV-E10 fix the issue? Cheers!
@@randkjournal Hello mate, yes I use it for video. I have made this video with the lens. ruclips.net/video/g3MwpanX8m8/видео.html I have done a few test video's, its fine. As long as your not on a roller coaster! Yes the stabalisation on the camera sorts out any wobble. I made a family video of a day on a RIB boat, very bouncy. Footage is fine. I am off to iceland tomorrow for 10 days. Touch wood. Looking forward in vlogging the trip with this lens. Its a lot better than these people on youtube are making out. you wont be disappointed. Like I said, over the stock lens this is miles better, shooting in low light is also miles better. Enjoy!
@@penknifemonkey Thanks for the reply. Lens and ZV-E10 (I'm assuming) looks fairly good on the video. Thanks for sharing. Last trip we took was New Zealand/Australia just before the pandemic. I wish I had the Tamron 17-70 then. While the kit lens was adequate and compact, the Sony 18-105 or the Tamron 17-70 would've produced better video footage. Enjoy Iceland and may your vlog videos be grand!
Not sure if it’s been brought up, I don’t have time to read all the comments… but a lot of the walking “warbles” you see isn’t the lens at all. It’s the AWFUL rolling shutter of the camera being used. I’d love a revisit of this lens on the a6700. I bet it changes everything.
I right now am running the Sigma trio, and the lack of quick access to other focal ranges on type of content i do makes me really interested in move into this 17-70, or a 24-70 from sigma, but honestly, the bigger range and cheapest price for 17-70 is way more interesting
for my zv-e10 and a6000, 16-50 kit lens oss seems the best lens. Sorry about all the other hollow efforts in that range... This Tamron is huge for my tiny set up... It will look ridiculously big on gimbal with zv-e10 for day light situation. In dark conditions high iso is ok. 55 210 is also awesome for portrait. I rarely use sigma 30, and sony 50oss primes...
Not gonna lie.. I love my Tamron 17-28 for vlogs. Tamron is a solid buy. On the 17-28 lens.. the barrel doesn’t extent which I really like. Great video man! #fam “We In there like swim swear” lol
Thanks for sharing the good information with us! I'm currently considering buying Tamron 17-70mm or Sigma 18-50mm, I kind of want a longer zoom range, but I also like how lightweight and small sigma is, tough decision...
Which did you go with? I'm in the same situation now. Leaning towards the Sigma as it's less expensive and much more compact. But the a6000 I have doesn't have image stabilization, so the Tamron looks promising. The extra range is a plus too.
@@mavagam99 Hi Markus, I've ordered the Sigma 18-50 a few days ago, the main reason is that I already have a Sony18-105, so I think the extra zoom range isn't as important. The fact that 18-50 is lighter, smaller, and less expensive seem to be more important factors for me.
@@ConstantineSPhotography thanks for your quick response! That is exactly how I feel, so I just bought the Sigma as well. I believe that I'll take my camera more places with the Sigma compared to the Tamron since it's so much smaller
@@ConstantineSPhotographyIs the sigma 18-50mm got backfocus/out of focus issue? How is your experience with the sigma as of today? Still considering either sigma 18-50 or tamron 17-70
I've been back and forth between getting the XT3 vs the a6400, comparing lens selections, and I settled on the XT3 but I do really like this lens. If I had gone the other way I might have just gotten this plus the Rokinon 12mm F2 and called it a day.
Great review! Can I ask if I can get “cinematic “ feel out of the A6400 without post correction? Reason being I am attracted also to Fuji’s film simulation modes for movie. But in all otter aspects the Sony is way better, so I am not sure which one to buy - any thoughts?
I have an a6400 and I'd suggest you youtube a6400 cinematic, it'll show you how to setup a picture profile. Ultimately, I'd shot in s-log/raw and color correct - would be fun to learn
OMG, Terry your “Navi” from Zelda sound is my text message tone so I kept checking my phone but didn’t see a text! Took me a few minutes to realize it was from your video as I had to rewind it!! Lmao
Forget about the lens for now coz im loving the color grade “for the vlog”! Im new subscriber here gonna check your videos hopefully I can find a tutorial about your color grading process otherwise you have to make one “pls”
Thanks for doing this. I was thinking about picking up a Sony body soon and was peeking at this lens. Unrelated, do you like that table tripod your camera is on? If so, what brand is that?
Thanks for watching man! It came with a Vlog Kit I got at Samsung Unpacked last year. I think it’s by Movi or Movo. One of the two companies. And...it’s decent I guess. I wish it was more sturdy I’ll likely be getting a beefier one soon
@@TerryWarfield yeah I've been researching table top tripods too (along with lenses). It's hard because a lot of them are too small. Thanks for letting me know
The vlog test is pretty shaky/wobbly, even though you're standing in one place. I feel like the 18-105 gives a more clean, stable image. Do you have a chance to compare those two?
I have a video comparing the 18-105mm to another lens and camera combo - the Fujifilm X-S10 + XF 18-55mm. Basically it's Sony OSS vs Fuji IBIS+OIS. I realize it's not a comparison to the Tamron 17-70mm but it demonstrates how the Sony 18-105 OSS can hold its own (to some degree). Here's the link in case you're interested: ruclips.net/video/E8-PDUUCDqE/видео.html
Appreciate the real world review. Seen too many boring reviews on it. I blame quarantine life so big ups for going out in the cold! The new Sigma 28-70 is also gonna be $799. Really like the size of it for casual home use. Full frame lens that is smaller and lighter than this APS-C lens. Hope you get one for review!
Great Video MAN. I have the sigma 56 mm and the 30 2.8 mm and i wanted to buy the 16 mm 1.4 which none of them have the stabilization. So you have better light performance but only if you`re steady. Like you were saying, at 2.8 and stabilization, you can lower the speed and you can get better photography. I mean, you don`t have the same quality, but you will get more good pictures than a 16.mm if you`re not steady. Right? First video I see on you`re channel but it is great, so I subscribe. hands down
I want this or the sigma 16-50......i really dont think this big ass tamron will work with my gimbal though, and i dont really thing the oss is gonna save anything
I dig that this was a real review without the pixel peep crybaby rants. You kept it on the real side, and rolled out truth. I will be picking up one of these. Oh and you gained a new sub right here yo!

I forgot to come.back and watch your video. I'm on it now. Good plug for the other dude you don't see to many brothas in R/C.
I bought it for Fuji, it's awesome!
Top cat Terry! I see you brother, hey thanks for sharing just today I was setting at my desk trying to decide should I or shouldn't I cop this glass, and then there you are giving the really real on the very item I'm thinking about, so thank you for your very informative tutorial it was extremely helpful, This was my first time watching your channel and I truly believe I'll be all the better for it, real talk is good talk much luv brother, oh and yes I'm a coper!✌️
Thanx for your honest review man
Using this tamron for few days, love the flexiblity and sharpness, the only issue that im unhappy with this lens is that it gives A LOT of aberration and ugly bokeh at f/2.8, mosty I use f/4 or above on this lens, cause anything below often needs a lot of post process to repair photo. On other hand it's only 800$ so it can't be perfect :D
I already bought the lens but I wish I'd watched this first, I love it but it is a little big and this is the best vid by a mile for getting a sense of scale in the hand. Also having a second camera angle to the side when u talking actually helps a lot to keep the pacing up. Great vid bro, subscribed
how it's preforming?
This makes me feel old but VR (vibration reduction or compensation or control) is not stabilisation at all. Its essentially helping you focus at 70mm apsc and keeping focus between focusing and taking the picture.
I’m getting it to complete my travel kit/ back up to my full frame kit
I really like the colors in your work. Thanks for the video. Like you sait: it works.
First time I've ever been told by a RUclipsr to hit the thumbs up & subscribe buttons and actually convince me to do it! Much support bro, thanks for the video
Great review mate. Appreciate it!
Nice story dude. This was informative as well as entertaining.
I'm not even looking for a new lens but damn dude I just glued myself to the vid. Now I want a new lens, though. Amazing channel, dude 💪
Tamron 17-70 F2.8 vs Sigma 18-50 F2.8 which one is better on photoghapy?
Excellent, straight forward review!
Just about to buy this lens. Thanks for the review! Great stuff
Been looking into wider lens to finish my holy trinity, excited to hear what this one can do since I carry around the Tamron 28-75 💯✔️🔥
Remember this is NOT a full frame lens bro!
great review, subbed!
Hey man! Thanks for the video. What body and lens you're using to record yourself in front of the desk?
Yo Terry video is looking good man , You really stepped up that lighting game, I can dig it. anyway keep up the good reviews I'm a full frame head so I'm waiting on the next joint, likes your outlook with the A7S3 too, all right , ☮️ peace ✌🏾.
Thx your video, i just brought it as your recommendation.
That price is right. You just gotta go with the value. Looks like Tamron is looking to capture that Sony mid range market. Good video and info.
The only other lens that competes with this Tamron lens is the Sony 16-55mm G lens but that sucker is $1,300 bucks on Amazon right now! Plus it doesn't have any kind of stabilization feature. Crispy sharp imagines but that's only if your hands never move... Unless you have the a6600 with IBIS. But with IBIS and this Tamron lens that has internal stabilization feature... For $800 on Amazon? Definitely would choose Tamron for now.
thank you for the review brother
The flaring is good to know about, as I was wondering if this is usable for infrared photography on my Fuji. I think I'll wait for this to be available to rent so I can test it before I buy.
But seeing as how I'm all stills, this could still be good for my visible-light X-T3 for general purpose and macro!
Great review!
Love your enthusiasm man!
Good review, I already have this lens on my ZV-e10 I agree it's a good lens for the money. Much better than my stock lens. I really can shoot into lower light.
Do you use this for videography? Are you experiencing the "wobble effect" with the 17-70? If so, does the Active Stabilization on the ZV-E10 fix the issue? Cheers!
@@randkjournal Hello mate, yes I use it for video. I have made this video with the lens. ruclips.net/video/g3MwpanX8m8/видео.html I have done a few test video's, its fine. As long as your not on a roller coaster! Yes the stabalisation on the camera sorts out any wobble. I made a family video of a day on a RIB boat, very bouncy. Footage is fine. I am off to iceland tomorrow for 10 days. Touch wood. Looking forward in vlogging the trip with this lens. Its a lot better than these people on youtube are making out. you wont be disappointed. Like I said, over the stock lens this is miles better, shooting in low light is also miles better. Enjoy!
@@penknifemonkey Thanks for the reply. Lens and ZV-E10 (I'm assuming) looks fairly good on the video. Thanks for sharing.
Last trip we took was New Zealand/Australia just before the pandemic. I wish I had the Tamron 17-70 then. While the kit lens was adequate and compact, the Sony 18-105 or the Tamron 17-70 would've produced better video footage. Enjoy Iceland and may your vlog videos be grand!
Not sure if it’s been brought up, I don’t have time to read all the comments… but a lot of the walking “warbles” you see isn’t the lens at all. It’s the AWFUL rolling shutter of the camera being used. I’d love a revisit of this lens on the a6700. I bet it changes everything.
Thanks for the review. Really helpful.
Nice review.. hope to have this lens on my a6500
What you guys recommend Tamron 17-70 f/2.8 or Sigma trio f/1.4?
Tamron 17-70 f/2.8, Sigma 16 mm f1/4 a Sigma 56 mm f1/4 . My combo I also had a 30 mm f1/4, but there was no use.
@@lukas_runner_czWhy do you say there was no use if you don’t mind
@@Musicomni150 I replaced the Sigma 30mm 1/4 with a Tamron 17-70 2/8. I kept the 56mm 1/4 for portraits.
@@lukas_runner_cz Oh cool , do you have any issues with the tamron , like autofocus or what i’ve seen some people talk about some vibration
I right now am running the Sigma trio, and the lack of quick access to other focal ranges on type of content i do makes me really interested in move into this 17-70, or a 24-70 from sigma, but honestly, the bigger range and cheapest price for 17-70 is way more interesting
Which lens is best for making indoor RUclips videos?
Man your RBG lights look so dope. Dog you’re set up. 🔥🔥 #Fam
Thanks bro!
That was supposed to say Dig your set up. Stupid fat finger when I type on my phone.
1:48 "And also.." is my favorite thing now 🔥😂
Awesome review man! THank you for your analytic video ! i am an onwer of a6400 and i am digging these lens! i will consider buying them!👍👌
What camera and lens did you use to shoot this video? Looks good.
for my zv-e10 and a6000, 16-50 kit lens oss seems the best lens. Sorry about all the other hollow efforts in that range... This Tamron is huge for my tiny set up... It will look ridiculously big on gimbal with zv-e10 for day light situation. In dark conditions high iso is ok. 55 210 is also awesome for portrait. I rarely use sigma 30, and sony 50oss primes...
That lens is really soft though. Consider the Sigma 18-50 if you want a lightweight option and are OK with no OSS.
Great video Terry...man that B Cam shot is 🔥...but one thing people wanna know is how Terry like them 🤣🤣🤣 (inside joke)
😂😂 thanks bro
Fantastic review! How does it compare to the Sony 16-55 2.8?
Great energy and personality. Not your typical review! Keep it up bro #fam
Can u tell me which tripod or gimble u using in your this video
Not gonna lie.. I love my Tamron 17-28 for vlogs. Tamron is a solid buy. On the 17-28 lens.. the barrel doesn’t extent which I really like. Great video man! #fam
“We In there like swim swear” lol
Yeah that 17-28 is a killer lens! Thanks man!
Thanks for sharing the good information with us! I'm currently considering buying Tamron 17-70mm or Sigma 18-50mm, I kind of want a longer zoom range, but I also like how lightweight and small sigma is, tough decision...
Which did you go with? I'm in the same situation now. Leaning towards the Sigma as it's less expensive and much more compact. But the a6000 I have doesn't have image stabilization, so the Tamron looks promising. The extra range is a plus too.
@@mavagam99 Hi Markus, I've ordered the Sigma 18-50 a few days ago, the main reason is that I already have a Sony18-105, so I think the extra zoom range isn't as important. The fact that 18-50 is lighter, smaller, and less expensive seem to be more important factors for me.
@@ConstantineSPhotography thanks for your quick response! That is exactly how I feel, so I just bought the Sigma as well. I believe that I'll take my camera more places with the Sigma compared to the Tamron since it's so much smaller
@@ConstantineSPhotographyIs the sigma 18-50mm got backfocus/out of focus issue? How is your experience with the sigma as of today? Still considering either sigma 18-50 or tamron 17-70
Sigma 18-50
I've been back and forth between getting the XT3 vs the a6400, comparing lens selections, and I settled on the XT3 but I do really like this lens. If I had gone the other way I might have just gotten this plus the Rokinon 12mm F2 and called it a day.
I have good news for you xd
they made it for fujis too now
yoooo good ass vid fam! im curious how do ya get ur footage so dawm SHARP like broo it looks like 8k!
Ha! It’s all about lighting and composition
Great video as always , wanna ask is it how far away from sony 85mm 1.8 when we talk about portraits?
Great review! Can I ask if I can get “cinematic “ feel out of the A6400 without post correction? Reason being I am attracted also to Fuji’s film simulation modes for movie. But in all otter aspects the Sony is way better, so I am not sure which one to buy - any thoughts?
I have an a6400 and I'd suggest you youtube a6400 cinematic, it'll show you how to setup a picture profile. Ultimately, I'd shot in s-log/raw and color correct - would be fun to learn
OMG, Terry your “Navi” from Zelda sound is my text message tone so I kept checking my phone but didn’t see a text! Took me a few minutes to realize it was from your video as I had to rewind it!! Lmao
Haha I am a Zelda nerd for life!
what is the bad boy you waved to reduce the flaring
Forget about the lens for now coz im loving the color grade “for the vlog”! Im new subscriber here gonna check your videos hopefully I can find a tutorial about your color grading process otherwise you have to make one “pls”
Thanks for doing this. I was thinking about picking up a Sony body soon and was peeking at this lens.
Unrelated, do you like that table tripod your camera is on? If so, what brand is that?
Thanks for watching man! It came with a Vlog Kit I got at Samsung Unpacked last year. I think it’s by Movi or Movo. One of the two companies. And...it’s decent I guess. I wish it was more sturdy I’ll likely be getting a beefier one soon
@@TerryWarfield yeah I've been researching table top tripods too (along with lenses). It's hard because a lot of them are too small.
Thanks for letting me know
For reference. I can put the a7siii+cage+24-70mm GM and it will hold it as long as I don’t angle the lens downward
The vlog test is pretty shaky/wobbly, even though you're standing in one place. I feel like the 18-105 gives a more clean, stable image. Do you have a chance to compare those two?
I have a video comparing the 18-105mm to another lens and camera combo - the Fujifilm X-S10 + XF 18-55mm. Basically it's Sony OSS vs Fuji IBIS+OIS. I realize it's not a comparison to the Tamron 17-70mm but it demonstrates how the Sony 18-105 OSS can hold its own (to some degree).
Here's the link in case you're interested: ruclips.net/video/E8-PDUUCDqE/видео.html
Appreciate the real world review. Seen too many boring reviews on it. I blame quarantine life so big ups for going out in the cold! The new Sigma 28-70 is also gonna be $799. Really like the size of it for casual home use. Full frame lens that is smaller and lighter than this APS-C lens. Hope you get one for review!
Yeah I’m interested in checking it out! Thanks for watching!
Love your energy bro
thank you man you got mi like . i got the lents thanks of you
It’s a awesome lens
@@TerryWarfield
I bought this lents Thanks to you man . l in your opinion This lens is valid for this type of work ( b roll )
Tight shirt terry! 😂😂😂 great review
😂😂😂 I watched your as well after the lens launched. Thanks man!
Very versatile lens all around lens for apsc cameras. Great review man!
Do you think selling my Sony 18-105 and either Sigma 16 or 30 to offset the price is a smart move?
Keep that 16!! Other than that as long as you won’t miss that reach at the longer end, I’d say go for it alone for F2.8 vs F4
Great Video MAN. I have the sigma 56 mm and the 30 2.8 mm and i wanted to buy the 16 mm 1.4 which none of them have the stabilization. So you have better light performance but only if you`re steady. Like you were saying, at 2.8 and stabilization, you can lower the speed and you can get better photography. I mean, you don`t have the same quality, but you will get more good pictures than a 16.mm if you`re not steady. Right? First video I see on you`re channel but it is great, so I subscribe. hands down
I want this or the sigma 16-50......i really dont think this big ass tamron will work with my gimbal though, and i dont really thing the oss is gonna save anything
waiting for comparison between this lens and the new sigma 18_50 2.8. .
I dig that this was a real review without the pixel peep crybaby rants. You kept it on the real side, and rolled out truth. I will be picking up one of these. Oh and you gained a new sub right here yo!
