You guys were fun to watch. Just 2 dudes going through the frozen land commenting on the camera. I have been playing around with my fujinon 35mm f1.4 and Viltrox 85mm f1.8 however I am convinced on this lens. I believe it will hit for me all the spots that I need. At any case salutations from Turkey my new Finnish NATO brothers in arms
Thank you. We can't help it, we are fun😀
Your photo walks are my favorite type of video. Keep them coming.
Thanks. More to come in the future.
This is so enjoyable. Thank you for this!
Our pleasure!
Another enjoyable photo walk to test out a new piece of gear. No test is better than putting the new gear to real life scenarios. As Alexi said I like the convenience too and I agree with both of you on all counts. Was hoping to see the rest of conversation in the cafe and share a coffee with you as I’m sitting here in Seattle this morning drinking coffee lol thank you for sharing this review.
Thanks. There was music and too much ambient noise in the cafe.
@@mattisulanto Gotcha
i love how you guys show a "non camera" view and then tell us what focal length the image is next. helps show what the lens can help you get pictures of. most of the other reviews just show pictures of stuff but it doesnt really give you an idea of how far away it is from.
Thank you.
Just got this lens on a Sony a6400 and am more than pleased with the sharpness and convenience. I have many lenses to judge from and would have no hesitation in recommending this rascal.
Thanks for sharing.
Tamron makes excellent "super zoom" lenses for APS-C. I have the Tamron 18-400mm f/3.5-6.3 Di ll VC HLD on my Nikon D7200, and it's my favorite "photo walk" lens. The quality is exceptional from about 24-400mm. If it has a weak area, it's wide at 18mm, but it's still quite nice except in the corners. If you are a Fuji shooter, don't hesitate to go for a Tamron super zoom lens. They're a lot of fun. No lens changes, so shooting the unexpected composition isn't a problem.
Thanks for sharing.
Indeed, I have just procured a used Tamron 18-400 EF mount and use it with good results with a speedbooster on an E-M1 II. 13-284mm f/2.5-4.5!
Great to see The Preacher and The Rocker out and about again!
Thanks😂
A very nice moody video, thank you.
I can only imagine how cold it must have felt with the wind and damp.
Thanks. Yeah, it was not that cold by the absolute numbers, but the humid wind from the sea was COLD😀
@@mattisulanto You both exhibited a lot of sisu. 👍👍
@@moggridge1 Perfect examples of that😅
You had a beautiful shot right next to you the single tree reflected in the ice
I would really like for manufacturers to make another version of these superzooms. It can be 10x instead of 17x, but to start wide. Something like 14-140 on APS-C would be 21-200 full frame eq. Now that would be an interesting lens.
Thanks for sharing. There are some limitations on what can be done while maintaining a reasonable size and price.
Seems a great general purpose / travel lens for Fuji. IMHO the closest contender is Fuji 70-300. Thanks for looking at Fuji stuff !
Thanks. I plan to look at more Fuji stuff in the future😀
This fun review reminded me of the pat & mat show but in its finest way!😂 Couldn't stop laughing watching you 2 freezing while doing your best to give the quality content you always do! Very nice job and I do respect your perseverance! I'm not sure if this lens makes any good balance on apsc bodies, even with the big xt-4. But very nice job by tamron, though I wish it was 16mm at the wide or 400mm at the end. Like their DSLR version. Cause if I'm handling something big and unbalanced, then I dn't want to be bothered why I didn't have something a bit wider or longer in many scenes. And last note, IDK why Tamron didn't give those incredibly useful focus hold buttons to any of their apsc lenses. They are not so cheap compared to their fullframe siblings.
Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it Shahab - Pat & Mat show sounds about right 😀
I used the Tamron 16-300mm lens, when I had crop dslr. 24-105mm F4L with the 5dmk4. I hated switching between the 18-55mm and 55-200mm all the time 😬
Thanks. You'd be just the potential customer for this Tamron😀
@@mattisulanto I think Tamron actually released a 18-400mm at the time I bought the 16-300mm, but for double the price 😬
@@bamsemh1 Tamron has a long history with super zooms.
Really enjoyed your video. I ended up with one of these due to shopping mistake by my local camera shop. Had ordered 17-70 and if I keep this 18-300 hope will not be sorry as I am a very beginner and have an a6000
Thank you so much.
$699 in USA. Inexpensive. Might be a fun lens, but not to carry all day long. Personally don't like having to carry a bazooka all that much :))
That is a good price.
tamron well done! but for me the best portable system is 1 inch, and the best zoom is Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 iv
Thanks for sharing. The RX10 is a great camera, all versions😀
I'm with you on that Igor, the RX10 IV is a fantastic camera.
Thx for the review. I think the Fuji XF70-300mm is a better choice, why ? because most people will buy a combo xt-4 with 16-55mm or even 16-80mm so it cover already a part of the range of the tamron 18-300mm. My second reason, i can add teleconverter 1.4x or 2.0x to the fujifilm ...something i can't with the Tamron.
Thanks for sharing.
In case you were wondering why Matti spends winters in the Southern Hemisphere these days.
The answer is in the video😀
In the spec it mentioned the VC only applies up to 70mm. Does that meant no VC at 71mm-300mm? Need to consider since my XT3 dont have IBIS.
The specs say: Using AI technologies, the lens will choose the compensation characteristic for videography at focal lengths of 70mm or less. To me that means something special for VIDEO under 70mm.
Hi, thanks for posting your video. I still use my old Sony NEX 6 and am seriously looking at the Tamrom 18-300mm,the new cost here in NZ is $1250 and I have just spotted a second hand one for $950 with only 3 months warranty, just wondering if I should be concerned at buying 2nd hand so I would like to know if you have had any issues with the lens to this date. Cheers Glenn from NZ
Thanks for watching. Like I said in the video the lens was on loan from Fujifilm and I can't say anything about the reliability. Tamron lenses generally are quite good and reliable though, based on my experience.
It seems so, the IBIS worked also very well, because your shooting was without a tripod and you were freezing and mabe jittering 😀 A good lens, indeed. Thanks for the interesting and funny video!
Thanks. Yeah, the camera and the lens both worked well😀
Very helpful video, thanks! I own the Fuji X-T4 and have wanted a lens suitable for birding. I saw the Fuji 70-300mm but both B&H and Amazon have not had it in stock or I would have gotten one for Christmas. Then news of the Tamron 18-300 came my way through Pal2Tech. I dislike switching lenses when outdoors so this may be the new super zoom for me. Such a wide range! Sharpness and video continuous autofocus may not be the best but then again I am an enthusiast not a professional photographer. I'll take good enough.
Thanks for sharing. If you don't like switching lenses this Tamron might be for you.
Thanks! But Photo Wales should probabilistisk take place in sunshine…😎
Good point!
Seem like a couple of gents I'd like to grab a coffee with.
Anytime😀
How does the image stabilization compare to the g9 100-400mm
We did not compare that, we only had that one camera and one lens with us.
My most used camera: Panasonic G9.
Thanks.
Is there something equal for the mft system (or maybe planned?)
OMS 12-200mm F3.5-6.3, Lumix G 14-140mm F3.5-5.6, Tamron 14-150mm F3.5-5.8, OMS 14-150mm F3.4-5.6 just mention some.
@@mattisulanto The Tamron 14-150mm MFT is discontinued.
@@christianmayrhofer4178 That might be, but it's still on Tamron web site and no mention being discontinued. www.tamron.jp/en/product/lenses/c001.html
Fine that Tamron is making a super zoom for Fuji. Usually only Nikon and Canon had super zooms for their APS lines DSLR camera. For mirrorless only Sony has supersoom for their APS camera.
Thanks for sharing.
Oon kuullut että tolla objektiivilla zoomaaminen on todella jäykkää😄 Pitääkö paikkansa?
Ei ollut todella jäykkää todellakaan.
Tuntu ihan normaalin jäykältä eli sopivalta🙂
@@mattisulanto noniin hyvä! Pitää itekkin sit ostaa toi linssi😀
Is it compatible with a teleconverter?
I don't think so, but maybe you check Tamron home page to make sure.
$1,000.000 Question: Can I use the "70-300mm XF 1.4x TC WR Teleconverter" -- with the TAMRON 18-300MM?
i dont think you can. it doesnt have the appropriate spacing to fit the 1.4x teleconverter.
now if they'd make one to fit micro 43.............
late reply but the m43 equivalent is the Olympus 12-200mm lens
What's the real f stop?
F stop is the ratio of the focal length to the entrance pupil.
@@mattisulanto yes, what's the real f stop for this lens?
@@dherman0001 It's in the video too F3.5-6.3.
@@mattisulanto I guess my question relates to cheaper lenses. I've found the advertised f stop to be off quite often. I didnt know if you noticed anything on this lens.
@@mattisulanto Also, have you tried it with a speedbooster. I do quite a bit of filiming around campfires in low light and would love to have just one lens as I'm often hiking in remote locations for weeks at a time. I use the sigma with speedbooster and a fixed telephoto 500 for now.
have you tried to to Some. video?
