Excellent video - Just subscribed - confirms my decision to replace my stolen Sony G lenses with Tamron equivalents. I'm a "stills" photographer mainly interested in travel/street photography but also shoot animals/pets. One lens I needed to replace was a Sony 24-240mm general purpose lens. Not a particularly great lens but very useful. I was loaned a very used Tamron 28-200mm to try out - it was lighter, shorter & I didn't miss the OSS & the results & close focussing ability won me over! I therefore not only purchased a new Tamron 28-200 but also tried & purchased a Tamron 50-400 (to replace the stolen Sony 100-400) - again a lighter, much cheaper & more flexible substitute. Like you I prefer to use primes for standard & wide angle focal lengths but following my experience with the forgoing lenses, I'm tempted, not to replace, but to supplement my Sony primes with the Tamron 20-40mm, constant aperture F/2.8 lens. Having a 67mm filter thread throughout the Tamron zooms - and similar ergonomics - really helps with their usefulness. (Perhaps the fact that Sony are a large (largest?) shareholder in Tamron, makes them more compatible than most other 3rd party lenses for the Sony E mount system?)
Love your video and comfortable delivery style. Just purchased my first Tamron and started out for a 17-70 ending up with a 18-300 as my main lens. New to photography with much to learn. Nervous when spending that much money for buyers remorse. Thanks and subscribed
I just added this one to my lens roundup, my first Tamron actually. YES the image quality is quite good and isn’t that ultimately what we’re all after? A lock would’ve been nice, but….no deal-breaker for me. Good video, Thank You.
I subscribed right away after the amazing intro 😀 I am new to Sony and I am trying to catch up with the current lens options for the e mount. Tamron seems to be always the best value option for zooms...
Thank you very much for the kind words! There are some that are probably feeling it's way too long, so I added the time-stamp to skip it lol. Your sub is very much appreciated as well BTW! Yes, loving what Tamron has been doing with their zooms.
Thanks for the video. Hope that lack of stabilization in Tamron doesn't affect when taking photos? Maybe shoot in a higher shutter? I understand that videos can be shaky if not mounted on a tripod?
Thanks for the visit! There is a very marginal advantage in photos, but shooting video is where the much more noticeable advantage goes to the Sony (although at full zoom you'll need a steady hand regardless). The in-camera stabilization of my current cameras, still has me hanging onto the Tamron for it's light weight. On the photo side of things, anyone shooting outside won't have any issue shooting during the day shooting with either lens (like in my use-case). If it gets a bit dark outside (or if you have to shoot indoors) the strategy with both lenses will be increasing your ISO, because neither have an option to open the aperture enough to help. At the full zoom a tripod when shooting video is a good idea with both, but I've gotten away handheld with both lenses as well. If you don't mind the weight and cost the Sony is the winner for those often shooting video at full zoom.
I bought the Tamron 70-300 because it's so light and the image quality is fantastic, but it does feel like a massive downgrade in terms of image stabilisation coming from a Fuji X-S20 with the Fujinon 50-230mm (75-345mm FF equivalent), that thing felt like it was on a tripod when you turn OSS on, especially in video. With the Tamron it's near unusable for handheld video at anything above 200mm or so on my Sony ZV-E1, even with dynamic active stabe in the body :( -- are there any compact telephoto full frame lenses with good stabilisation for Sony?
Hi! Currently anything with stabilization will mean going much heavier at these focal lengths, if you're now a full-frame shooter. The Tamron is still the world's smallest and lightest FF in this focal range. For video at the longer focal lengths with this lens I'm usually shooting in daylight, so I'm turning up my shutter speed, backing out a little, and then using the gyro-data to stabilize in post. It does a great job, but of course nothing is like having OSS and seeing it stabilized while shooting. My Sony's OSS was very much like you described your Fujinon's, but what a pain to carry! Those Fujinon lenses are amazing.
@@chosenideahandle Thank you, that makes sense. I've been playing with Catalyst which is just such a horrific piece of software and also gyroflow, which is really fantastic but has no support for IBIS at all. Less of an issue with higher shutter speeds but does mean more blurs/jiggers if trying to get more pleasing motion blur, warp stabe in Final Cut also seems to surprisingly do a much better job with tele footage than the weird jello you get with wide lenses.
Hi. I've been self-employed, and I've also worked full-time with employers in each of the fields. You can check out the areas I work in at www.chosenidea.com.
Anything you shoot at the far end of the zoom range is going to be challenging to keep steady. If you're using active stabilization with your zve10 you'll want to keep your shutter speed on the higher side to avoid blur from your shakes (also challenging if you haven't got A LOT of light when using this lens and an APS-C sensor). Thanks for your visit!

Great my video was worth something! Yes! Sony has like 15% of Tamron, so they're privy to their API. Thanks for dropping in, and the sub!

Thanks for the support Jim, and the kind words!
Thank you so much for the clarification
Glad it was of some help!

@@chosenideahandle thank you so much for taking your time. It was indeed very helpful!!
Loved the intro 😂
Ha ha! Thanks, I know it might be a little over the top😂. Your kind words are much appreciated!
Dude how do you only have 200 followers you should have like 200k
I appreciate the kind words man! I’ll keep working away to see what happens lol.
Takes time and commitment to grow, keep doing vids and followers will come
Can i use it with sony a 7 iv full frame. Please suggest. Thanks & regards.
Hello! Absolutely! It's a full-frame lens, so no issues whatsoever.
I bought the Tamron 70-300 because it's so light and the image quality is fantastic, but it does feel like a massive downgrade in terms of image stabilisation coming from a Fuji X-S20 with the Fujinon 50-230mm (75-345mm FF equivalent), that thing felt like it was on a tripod when you turn OSS on, especially in video.

How do you work as creative generalist and in what fields?

Hello sir. I have doubt. can I do decent video too with this with my zve10 with ACTIVE stabilization ?
Anything you shoot at the far end of the zoom range is going to be challenging to keep steady. If you're using active stabilization with your zve10 you'll want to keep your shutter speed on the higher side to avoid blur from your shakes (also challenging if you haven't got A LOT of light when using this lens and an APS-C sensor).

@@chosenideahandle thanks lot sir
Not enough showing of images!
