I have this lens and like it so far. Mainly for good light. You are not the only person to mention the VC as a weakness. I was wondering if it conflicts with Sonys in body IBIS? Have you tried just using the Sony IBIS without the lens VC? Or the lens VC with no Camera Body IBIS?
It looks really good, I'm waiting for this to hopefully come to Nikon Z soon. Always thought a 70-300 was underrated for landscapes, a 50-300 is even better.
Nice video. How would you compare this to the Sony 70-200mm F4 macro and 1.4 teleconverter combo? From what I can tell Sony better without the converter and better IS?
Tamron is going wild with these lenses. 28-200 2.8-5.6 28-300 4-7.1 50-300 4.5-6.3 50-400 4.5-6.3 I’m assuming the largest and most expensive 50-400 is also the sharpest with the best build quality.
I've seen many (shill) reviews of this lens, since I was considering switching from my Sigma 100-400, mainly due to its size and weight, plus the half-macro adds a lot of versatility. Most of the in-depth reviews point out that at 50mm the edges are rather soft, however on your pictures, they are fine - I think this has to do with the longer distance (test charts vs mountain) and the non planar subject of yours. What I appreciate about your review though (which is quite unique sadly) is that you make it obvious that this level of stabilization doesn't make much sense. It barely exists for photo, and it is unacceptable for video (in my opinion).
After doing a bunch of research, we decided that we needed to break the content into two channels. The Kemper Simpich channel is now landscape photography focused and the brand new Camera Nerds channel is for general photo and video. I talk a bit more about it in the Outro for this video.
Welcome back and amazing video as always!

The Sony has better IS for sure… I would say maybe slightly better IQ but not significantly
@@summitbidThank you very much for the reply!

I have heard that as well. Would love to try it!
