Given that the Nikon Z 28-75 f/2.8 was essentially an exact copy of the version 1 of this lens, this G2 version is going to be a lot better. I do think it is an interesting option as a standard zoom, especially if you also have one of the wide angles like the 14-30mm (without that, I would generally find 28mm to be too narrow to cover all my needs). It bridges the gap to the telephoto 100-400 nicely for a 3 lens setup that costs and weights less than the 24-120mm and certainly less than the native 24-70 f/2.8. So yes, very interesting option!!!
Love your videos especially when they're rich with your still images, as is this one! And as you are the king of night shots, I can't see them without reaching over to touch my Nikon D3 and to whisper, 'thank you for bringing us the ability to photograph in the dark!" 😃
I own a Nikon Zf since several months now. To accompany this wonderful body I chose for zooms the 14-30 F4S, the 24-120 F4S and the Tamron 28-75 F2.8/G2 you talk about in this video. With this infernal trio, we really have a very large latitude of choice but always extremely qualitative. The 14-30 for architecture and interior photos of small volumes, the 24-120 for landscape/ travel and the Tamron for low light photo, although we can intervert the 2 in the other direction also thanks to the sensor of the Zf. These 3 zooms are really amazing and I love using them. Actually, it’s the first time I use so much zooms since I’m doing photography in more than twenty years.
The USB-C port is also for programming the lens for cine+video purposes: override the by-wire MF for a consistent 360° mechanical throw... Program focus pulls to one preset distance or between two distances... Even program exactly how long it takes to rack to or between those points. It's weathersealed to the hilt, as well. The Android app even allows you to do all this on-location for the specific scene in front of you. Brilliant.
Hi Matt - nice intro to this lens! So, this is an interesting development. We were led to believe before when the 28-75mm 2.8 Nikkor was released and the subsequent 17-28mm 2.8, 70-180 2.8 that these lenses were G1 versions of the Tamron lenses already available for Sony E mount, but rehoused by Nikon. We were further under the impression that Nikon would not be letting third party companies manufacture lens that were identical to current Nikon offerings in focal length and aperture. It seemed like Nikon went around their own 'restriction' by licensing from Tamron this set of 'affordable' trinity zoom lenses, but now, with the introduction of this lens, this theory is thrown to the wind. It is clear that Nikon is not restricting third parties from manufacturing native Z mount lenses that are the identical focal length and aperture as currently existing Nikkor lenses. This seems a strange move however. If the Nikkor version of this lens was in fact a re-badged G1 Tamron, then it seems like Nikon will have trouble selling this lens going forward now that a G2 is natively available and for less money. I wonder if this signals that Nikon has changed its perspective on this and has decided not to license such lenses from third parties going forward and rather to just allow the third parties to release such lenses directly as they did in the F mount days - well this seem to be the case definitively with the release of this lens. I suppose there is an argument that maybe Nikon is using its own glass in the Nikkor versions irrespective of the design and that alone might make the Nikon a favorable product - but even if this is the case they have not done a great job of signaling this and I suspect the Tamron 28-75 2.8 G2 will largely out sell the Nikkor 28-75 2.8 going forward. Still, this seems to be very good sign for the Nikon Z mount. It strongly suggests that Nikon will be allowing third parties to make any lens they want for the Z mount, which means we should be seeing many lenses from many other third party manufacturers in the near term. It would not now be surprising if Sigma Art lenses are made available for Z mount soon. This also seems to jibe with the reports that Viltrox will be making 1.4 and 1.2 primes of focal lengths that already exist in the Z mount Nikkor lineup. The bottom line is that Sony just lost one of its last advantages over Nikon - more lens choice. Recently this advantage has been dwindling with all the releases of Nikkor glass, but now that the third party manufacturers are fully in the game there is no more Sony advantage in this respect whatsoever. Ironically, to the contrary, this seem to now be an advantage for Nikon as Nikon does not intentionally cripple third party lenses the way that Sony does (limiting FPS on third party glass etc.). As such third party glass on a Nikon will be more functional than it would be on a Sony making it even more useful. This is another surprising, but favorable turn of events for Nikon - who in recent times seems to be unstoppable. With the future introduction of a Z5II, Z6III and possibly Z80/90 (D500 replacement) there will be nothing left lacking in the Z mount system in which Nikon is not on par or superior to all competitors - as it stands the lack of these products are all that stand in the way of Nikon being the best all around system out there and we all suspect that these products are on the near term horizon. Great time to be a Nikon shooter - but then again, when really was it not? -PD
I ordered this lens as I just upgraded to full frame ZF from ZFC Cannot wait to try this lens Probably this will be the only zoom lens that I will need. I plan to try more primes
Love the plane shots and the canal reflections! I'm guessing you will be quoting "Z on Red" a lot in the future...(The American version will never have the same ring)
Hi! Great video and photos. I am thinking about this lens for my Nikon ZF. It seems better than the Nikon Z 28-75 f2.8, being sharper from corner to corner. But does it bite the ankles of the all mighty Nikon Z 24-70 f2.8 S? You have to update your also excellent video comparing the mid range zooms from the Nikon Z lineup :-) Bye and waiting for your next one! Have a great Easter season.
Brilliant, thanks Matt. Not a lens i will be buying - simply because i already have the Z equivalent which I bought when I got my first Z body - the Z6. Before i switched to the Z system I had a D500 and a D 850 and my 24-70 & 70-200 lenses were both Tamron "G2" models and were both absolutely brilliant and half the price of the Nikon equivalents at the time. I also remember watching various RUclips reviews here on RUclips, especially the one regarding the last generation F-mount Nikon 70-200 v the Tamron 70-200 G2 and almost every review at that time said the Tamron out performed the latest Nikon as well as being half the price. It was a no-brainer. I am really happy with my Z 24-70 f/2.8 and my Z 70-200 f/2.8 and have no intention to change either but it is great that people are now getting more and more options to consider.
Are You available to compare the Nikon z 28-75mm with this Tamron version? Focusing Speed and Your conclusion if it outperforms or they are they are the same? Ordered the 24-400mm and hopefully I will have better luck in getting this lens than the 180-600mm. Cheers!
@@MattIrwinPhotography I did a comparison and Nikon does hamper the Tamron. I realized I have to buy the Puck or POD for updating the lens but on their website they only have the update for the Sony. Nikon was faster in focusing that is why I tried to find a firmware update. So the 24-400mm keeps selling out before I can get my hands on the lens but when I was at my camera store the salesperson said that he was sorry butr he did show me the 180-600mm. At least I didn't go home empy handed. Cheers!
I think I will get this lens! What makes me happy is that I haven't invested in any Nikon 2.8 in this range (24-70 2.8 or the Nikon 28-75) ... So this is now on my list for lenses to get. The scary thing is that I recently bought the Nikon 70-180 ... and now maybe Tamron will soon release the version G2 of that lens for Nikon Z???
Great looking lens. Gives people that extra little bit of reach. Bokeh is really sharp. And under a thousand dollars US. Have a great weekend Matt and Joe! Happy Easter to both of you and your families🙏🏻
There are more elements spread across more groups in the tamron than Nikons 28 75. What does that mean? … I have no idea I’m just a guy in the comment section that read this one piece of info earlier lol. Maybe someone can explain it to me. But it does seem better than Nikons option.
I've the lens in a Sony E Mount and a Megadap ETZ21 adapter so i can get the best of both my new Nikon Z8 and old Sony A7rii. But I'd love to see a head to head with the Nikon 24-70mm both the f4 and 2.8 plus the Nikon 28-75mm f2.8 Z mount.
Hi Matt, fabulous images sir 😍 I’m really surprised this lens came out and thought that Nikon had a deal with tamron when the native lens came out. I’m really pleased to see more options and have always liked tamron lenses. I had the g2 versions of the f mount primes in 35 & 85mm variant as well as 24-70 & 70-200 and was thoroughly impressed. The only downside side for me is the firmware port and wish that they’d utilised the docking station which worked perfectly but that’s a small and negligible issue. Great work tamron and all we need now is for sigma to launch their 1.4’s 😀
Just bought the Nikon 85 1.2 and I love it. My next land was going to be the Nikon 24 to 70 2.8 however I think this tameron lens which is much cheaper and seems to perform as good if not better than the Nikon what are your thoughts?
The most impressive thing about this lens so far is the size. If this smaller than the Nikon 24-120mm F/4 S? If so it may end up being the first zoom lens I use on my ZF.
nice video. for outdoor walks, street and portraits of my little daughter, what do you recommend on Nikon Z f? tamron 28-75mm f2.8 di iii vxd g2 or Nikkor z 24-120 f4 s
Hi Matt, you choose a good lens for the GP as they had a issue with long lenses. They told me the 180-600mm was too big and to leave it in my bag! Security told me they only allowed lenses up tp 300mm, some other amature photographers I spoke to were told maximum permitted was 500mm.
Hi. I have a question. How do you rate autofocus when working with Nikon? I'm thinking about it and the only puzzle I have is focus. Especially in more difficult conditions. Thank you in advance for your answer.
I really want the new sigma 15mm fish eye f1.4 ART prime for z mount. Then I can retire the $150 Opteka 6.5mm fish eye APS-C completely manual lens I adapt for my Z9. It surprisingly works decent as long as I crop out the black areas. But would love to have a proper lens.
I really thought this would be a safe video to watch as I have no desire to get this lens (I have the Nikon 24-70 f4 and rarely use it). But dang it, you talked up the Zf again. I'm hanging in there to see what the Z6iii brings to the table. Now, it does seem to be a right good lens. I do like what Tamron has done and I still use my Tamron 70-200 (but again, not all that much). But a question: Can Capture One suppress the purple fringing that is happening?
Great review! I wonder how it compares in AF speed to the Nikon 24-70 2.8 , in my experience it's Nikon's fastest focusing lense so far. I already have the 35-150 2-2.8 and it's slower , nothing extreme but noticable , inclduing slower start-up time for my Z9 SO how is it?
newbie to photography kind of confused is there a big difference between between the current nikon z 28-75mm f2.8 to the new tamron z mount 28-75mm f2.8 since the price just the same
Does anyone experience mis focusing on the 28-75 G2 for Nikon. I bought it brand new but it misses focus so much, i have not that problem with z lenses
Yep, definitely on my wishlist! For me the price is a big thing, in the way that I'm more likely to get out and relax with the photography if the lens costs less than my car. This Tamron might be a good compromise at 2.8. =)
Did you feel that the Tamron is sharper than the native Nikon 28-75mm f/2.8? I know they are different designs with different number of elements. Thanks as always for this information!!
Hey Matt, thanks for the review! I'm thinking about getting either this lens or the Nikon 24-120 f/4 Z lens. I know they're different, but I'm curious which one is sharper. And between the two, which would you prefer - the focal length or the aperture?
If you don't really need 2.8 go for F4 lens. I am using it almost exclusively for 2 years now for my pro work and it is amazing. It is really a do it all lens.
The only thing that would be great in the future, more lenses with aperture ring for Nikon, it really makes a difference, they look so clinical, mechanical somehow, at least for smaller size cameras like Zf, I believe ZfR is coming soon after Z7 III, Nikon should try to downsize their lenses without waiting for Canon to do it -The reason i'm saying all this...all the lenses made in the 60's, 70's,80's are still bought and searched by nikon z users, for the character and feeling of aperture ring
Is this ironic? Haha of course the Nikkn is way better than Tampon releasing "generation" lenses that obviously have poor quality. Expect gen 3 in 2025 😅
we also need sigma's 1.4 art primes for the nikon z mount asap
We have those for DX cameras.
Definitely needed for the ZF
@@andrzejjaniak6849 I think they're referring to the full frame f/1.4 Art primes (24/35/50/85).
@@andrzejjaniak6849 I edited my comment for u to realize we're talking about fullframe lenses here buddy
You think Nikon will ever let them release Sigmas new 1.2 primes on Z? Those look amazing.
Amount of new Z lenses coming out is astonishing. Also the quality.
Yes, although waiting for a few 3rd party prime lenses...
All these announcements just makes me even happier I just switched to a full frame Nikon.
Imagine being a Sony shooter lol. An extra $200 is not the move for this lens imo.
Given that the Nikon Z 28-75 f/2.8 was essentially an exact copy of the version 1 of this lens, this G2 version is going to be a lot better.

The Nikon 28-75 mm was my first ever lens for my Z6 and I still love it! Looking forward to seeing a comparison between these two lenses. Cheers!
yes yes yes please DO THAT Irwin

Really hope this means the 70-180 with VC is coming as well
This is VERY tempting. I haven't bought a 24-70 or a 70-200 for the Z mount just yet. I'll be interested in that next video doing the comparison

All the new generation of Tamron lenses are equally as good as the Z lenses. Good for us consumers really

Cannot wait to try this lens
Probably this will be the only zoom lens that I will need. I plan to try more primes
Great channel! New sub. I actually like the music you play. Love me some ambient vibes!
There is the Tamron 35-150mm is a great lens also. Cheers!
That's awesome to have this option on Z!

Your lens reviews and Ricci’s are always my favorite and the most helpful 👏🏻
Question: this new Tamron 28-75, or Nikon’s 28-75?
Nikon's is a rebranded G1, so G2 is obviously better.

Hi, I'm really confounded at 3:49 where you can get so much foreground and background in sharp focus at f/2.8? How do you achieve that? 😮
I really want the new sigma 15mm fish eye f1.4 ART prime for z mount. Then I can retire the $150 Opteka 6.5mm fish eye APS-C completely manual lens I adapt for my Z9. It surprisingly works decent as long as I crop out the black areas. But would love to have a proper lens.

But a question: Can Capture One suppress the purple fringing that is happening?
Great review!
I wonder how it compares in AF speed to the Nikon 24-70 2.8 , in my experience it's Nikon's fastest focusing lense so far.
I already have the 35-150 2-2.8 and it's slower , nothing extreme but noticable , inclduing slower start-up time for my Z9
SO how is it?
Matt, do you think that the Zf with its superior low light capability sensor and newer gen stab is better for your low light city work than your Z8?
I hopefully tamron can release the 17 28 nikon z
Is it the Original Nikon Z 28-75?? I prefer to see the Tamron 18-400 in place
newbie to photography kind of confused is there a big difference between between the current nikon z 28-75mm f2.8 to the new tamron z mount 28-75mm f2.8 since the price just the same
Does anyone experience mis focusing on the 28-75 G2 for Nikon. I bought it brand new but it misses focus so much, i have not that problem with z lenses
Could you please humour me here, but how do you get everything (foreground & background) in sharp focus at such wide apertures??
Yep, definitely on my wishlist! For me the price is a big thing, in the way that I'm more likely to get out and relax with the photography if the lens costs less than my car. This Tamron might be a good compromise at 2.8. =)
Is the Nikon 28-75 2.8 the gen 1 of this lens?
Just need one of the lens companies to make a 300mm F/2.8. It's the biggest hole in the lineup.
Did you feel that the Tamron is sharper than the native Nikon 28-75mm f/2.8? I know they are different designs with different number of elements. Thanks as always for this information!!
The current Nikon version is the old version of the Tamron rebadged.
Hi Larry it’s been 18 months since I used the Nikon 28-75. My memory is it’s a good lens. I will review my video of it and come back to you. 😀
The G2 in f mount were some serious lenses
Will the 70-180 g2 come too?
Still wait 10-200mm f/0.95 with vr or is.
Is there really a need for so many zoom lenses, which overlap each other.
How was the grand prix? :)
Great Review, thanks... too many good lenses... I will stick with my 24->70 on the Zf.
I love my Tamron 35-150 2-2.8. I don't believe i need this lens.
Lighter, smaller, 28mm.
Hey Matt, thanks for the review!
I'm thinking about getting either this lens or the Nikon 24-120 f/4 Z lens. I know they're different, but I'm curious which one is sharper. And between the two, which would you prefer - the focal length or the aperture?
If you don't really need 2.8 go for F4 lens. I am using it almost exclusively for 2 years now for my pro work and it is amazing. It is really a do it all lens.
Should I buy the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 for 950€ or the Nikon Z 28-75mm f/2.8 which costs 750€?
Save the $
Don't pixel peep and make work.
Looks good would buy!

So far Canon have only approved APSC lenses. Perhaps in a year or two.
What is the grip you are using on the Zf ??
It is the Neewer Grip.
Nikon 24-70 f2/8 S makes this interesting but not necessary,nice to see Melbourne though.
The only thing that would be great in the future, more lenses with aperture ring for Nikon, it really makes a difference, they look so clinical, mechanical somehow, at least for smaller size cameras like Zf, I believe ZfR is coming soon after Z7 III, Nikon should try to downsize their lenses without waiting for Canon to do it -The reason i'm saying all this...all the lenses made in the 60's, 70's,80's are still bought and searched by nikon z users, for the character and feeling of aperture ring
How this compares with 24 120 f4? Seems a difficult choice...
Is this ironic? Haha of course the Nikkn is way better than Tampon releasing "generation" lenses that obviously have poor quality. Expect gen 3 in 2025 😅
With a Sony camera they limit the speed to 15 fps. Does Nikon limit the speed?
I believe no.
wow. So Nikon released their version of the g1 and Tamron released a g2 version, smh, lol.
Someone explain to me please, why's he wearing a jacket indoors? What's wrong with him?
are you ok?
So are you
2 identical lenses... why ?
No they are not.
This is Gen 2, better optically.
Love your Videos, hate the music, it’s very off putting.
All Tamron lenses seemed to have onion ring bokeh.
There goes another kidney 🙄
