I do like the 16-50 kit lens but the 16-55 is my favorite for the Sony a6400 SEL1655G Alpha 16-55mm F2.8 G Standard Zoom APS-C Lens www.amazon.com/dp/B07WZVKZHK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_1ZmFEbZRRQB6E
How can it be a full frame lens with E mount? Isn’t it FE mount then? And you can’t use a full frame lens on an apsc camera right, bc of the sensor size? How does this work with this combo then...?
Hi. Yes you can absolutely use a Full Frame lense (FE) on a APS-C body. It also works with APS-C lense (E) on a Full frame body but you will have to use the cropped mode or you will deal with huge vignetting.
its a thing Sony did while ago,,, they use same lens mount for both APSC & FULL FRAME cameras so you can exchange lenses between diff bodies/sensor size========with advantages/disadvantages of course
I use it as my primary lens on A7III (VERY versatile lens). There is also Tamron 17-28 if you need wider. I think Tamron was limiting focal range to keep lens size better balanced with mirrorles bodies.
Great video. I have a copy of this lens sitting right next to me right now because I rented it. I own an A6400 and thought it might replace my Sony 35mm F1.8 and my 16-55 Kit kens. Unfortunately, I'm really torn on it. I don't really mind the close end because I own a Rokinon/Samyang 12mm F2.0 for the wide end (Landscape and Street) and I want a mid-range. But - and this is where I'm torn: It has NO OSS. I knew that before I rented it (this is the reason I wanted to test it). And the F2.8 is nice - but even if I use my "dang old kit lens" at say 50mm with F4 or F5 - it still beats the hell out of this lens because it has steady shot and compensates for that shutter speed. Yes the Bokeh might not be as creamy but I still have OSS. The next best thing to use then might be the 18-105G PowerZoom which I dislike because I don't do video or just shell out nearly double the price and get the 16-55G. What is your impression when using it on the A6100 without IBIS? Did you notice any significant mess-ups because you had no OSS? Lens will be sent back next week but I really, REALLY don't know what to do.
I have the Sigma 16mm without OSS and I dont have an issue without it. In my opinion the advantage of that OSS is very limited. When I compare the pictures from the Kit lens with the Sigma - I am asking myself why I did not buy a new lens in the first place... Sharpness is no matter of the OSS.
@Black3ternity I really like the Tamron 28-75, but I have the same concerns about the missing OSS like you, because I like shooting in low light. Would you share your decision and if you are happy with it? Btw, at the moment I have almost the same lenses like you (Samyang 12mm, Sony 35mm, Sony 18-135mm) but it would be great to have a fast zoom lens. The Sony 16-55G is way to expensive in my oponion, especially when you consider that it doesn't have an OSS as well.
16 mm and 30mm without OSS is ok But if 56mm until 75mm or 85mm without oss on a6400 not recommended if you shooting video handheld.. Therefore telephoto lens must have oss
not gona happen...you can get the 18-35 1.8 with the mc-11. but the autofocus isn't great and the autofocus noise makes it almost unusable for video use
Thanks for the good video. I would be interested in seeing you review the Tamrom 17-28 on APS-C. I was worried you were going to fall over when you were walking backwards, and I couldn’t follow what you were saying. Though they look nice, not sure how much value your on-location to-camera pieces are adding-I also liked your old setup at home for pieces to camera.
If you want the 16mm perspective just use your phone. Honestly phone cameras have gotten so good they cover off the ultra wide angle to normal wide angle very nicely and for most applications the quality is probably close to indistinguishable. Phones can’t do telephoto though. So to me it’s more important to have the longer lenses on the ‘real’ camera.
The lack of OIS on this lens is a deal breaker for everything other than the A6600 and A6500 which have IBIS. I would never use anything other than an ultra wide angle lens with no IS in the body or the lens.
you just read my mind with this video! I´m not convinced with any aps-c zoom lens for my a6100, I started looking for full frame alternatives... This lens with my 16mm 1.4 would cover all my needs. Amazing video as always, thank you very much.
Great job. One correction, the close focusing distance is much shorter at 28mm. here is what it says on the Tamron website: Minimum Object Distance 0.19m (7.5 in) (WIDE) / 0.39m (15.3 in) (TELE) Maximum. Magnification Ratio 1:2.9 (WIDE) / 1:4 (TELE)
You should give Sigma 24-70 f2.8 DG DN a try. I know it's a bit too heavy for aps-c cameras but it is pretty great lens. I'm using it on my A7III, it has super fast AF, nice bokeh at f2.8 and very sharp image quality.
I just got this lens and it is sooo nice not having to swap out prime lenses every 10 minutes on a portrait shoot. I highly recommend it. Plus you can even do semi-macro shots.
The Tamron 28-75 is a nice lens, but not for APS-C. 28 mm (eq 42) is not wide enough for 95 % of users. And the 17-28 is not versatile at all. Insted of buying both of them the Sony 16-55 2.8 G is a much better choice for APS-C.
Testing full frame lens to aps-c camera. Nobody does it. When I started searching RUclips, even I didn't expect to find one and here it is, Arthur. Haha! You really love aps-c!
probably Sigma 30 or 56 with nd filter,,,,,,,,,,,think you are 9th person I see on RUclips whos asking "gear used" info,,,that feels reassuring because I keep putting this info in videos all the time
I dont understand why Tamron and Sigma are not able to bring the same lens for Sony E Apsc. Maybe a 16 -70 F2.8. The Sony E Mount is on the market since 10 years and so it's a bigger shame for those two big players.
No offense, but your sunglasses are always tilted haha Also, I don’t like the part where you are reviewing while walking backwards. It just doesn’t feel normal and the shots felt quite shacky to me. However, great review, as always!
Looking for a good lens to pair with the kit lens so I cover all major focal lengths with just two lenses, I’m thinking this is the one, what is the focal length numbers when adding in 1.5% crop?
I get confused, but grateful for any clarification... since this is a full frame lens, should you be multiplying the focal length by 1.5 to get the APS-C equivalent? Shouldn’t you be dividing by 1.5 instead?
For zoom 2.8 is usually way higher than that. Sony 24-70 2.8 is $2000 so for less than half the price normal people wouldn’t expect the quality this lens is for $800.
I have a suggestion. I think it would be better if u give EXIF data alongside ur photo samples, just wonder of the settings. Nice review by the way... 👍
@@staymystyle very shaky yes if you are handholding,,,,apsc has hard time indoor so for best results use 1.4 aperture lenses like Sigma, or get additional lightning,,,,I made/uploaded a bunch of videos with a6300&sigma16mm (no ibis/no oss) a year ago = good results but shaky
Really enjoy your video! I just got my a6400 for my photography journey. Will you consider to make a video about Sony picture profile/ colour tuning? I got some feedback from my friend saying that the portrait I took is abit yellowish and I am not sure how to fix this in picture profile.
Would love to see a side by side comparison (with samples) of Sony a6400 and 6100. Apologies if you already made a video on it though. :) debating between the two.
I’m still using and happy with the Zeiss 16-70mm both on my old Nex-7 and the a6400. The only problem with my Zeiss is it creeps to full telephoto when hanging over my shoulder.
Use it on full frame, so the 17-28 too! Very great lenses, waiting for the 70-180/2.8 to replace my Sony 70-200/4. The 17-28 is my favorite landscape lens, sell my batis 18 and 25, because it's so good optical. After the mariage of my daughter in August I will sell the 28-75/2.8, because it's not my cup of tea to use a zoom in that range, but it's a great lens which I can recommend for everyone who's searching for a lens in that range. I will use the Sony 35/1.8 and Sony 85/1.8 further, mostly the compact 35 for street and travelling and use my feet for zooming.
should I use this combination, because this lens has no image stabilization and a6100 has no IBIS. is it good for handheld photo capture?, please someone help...
Just use double shutter speed of the focal length to compensate. Ibis and oss lets you get away with lower shutter speed. There are ways you can compensate for handshake without ibis or oss. People take amazing photos without ibis or oss. You can too.
Looking to get a zoom lens, which should I get 18-135 or 18-105? After watching your vids I still can’t decide. Well, I’m actually leaning towards the 135 since I found one for 350
You always do good reviews. Real life, and useful information. And as an added bonus , we get to see some shots of your pretty wife. Sorry if that came across as creepy. 😉
Hey man! I am in-between this lens & the sigma 30 for my A6000 (mostly incase I upgrade to full frame in the future). How does it compare to the sigma 30 in sharpness? I have the Sigma 16 & 56 already but want something in the middle of those & this feels like it could be a good choice! What do you suggest?
The Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 is practically glued to my a7iii, but I rarely use it in the a6400 because of the wide end. It works, but has really limited use on the a6xxx in my opinion
It’s completely different. I use the both Tamrons on Apsc and FF. Therefore it’s an perfect combo. I love it. And yeah the combo is much better than the 18 105. I owned that and sell it a few months ago. Also the Zeiss 16 70 was not as Good as the Tamrons. They are much sharper at all and usable on both Apsc and FF.
TheGreatGandalf09 why did you sell the 18-105...the only appeal of it is the zoom range, internal zoom and oss. But I want to shoot mostly on the wide end so the tan 17-28 with its 2.8 aperture seems more appealing...only issue is no oss, but I guess with a gimbal the lack of oss should not be an issue
![Cody Johnson - I'm Gonna Love You (with Carrie Underwood) [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/yy9PuYMU29g/mqdefault.jpg)

Nothing beats the 16-55. It’s the perfect walk-around.
If you are rich that is...

makes sense if you plan on full frame sometime in future
Sigma 30mm plus 56mm better than tamron 28-75 (image quality, size, compact and bokeh).. Trust me!!
But i don't like flare on sigma 56mm
I use it as my primary lens on A7III (VERY versatile lens). There is also Tamron 17-28 if you need wider. I think Tamron was limiting focal range to keep lens size better balanced with mirrorles bodies.
I paired with the 20 mm in order to save some money for the upcoming 70-200
Tomasz Lathael I have the same setup. I am pleased.
Gustavo Ibarra 70-180
As usual spot on review, one suggestion is if you could add focal lengths marked in sample photos would be really useful to understand
Kannan A they will undoubtedly be in the next comparison video.

I agree 100%! I’ve actually used my phone for wide angle many times. Only time when I can’t use it is at night :/
what are the issues you can have using a full frame lens on a APS-C body? apart from the crop factor?
a lot of FF lenses have no OSS and of course they are usually bigger & heavier vs apsc lenses
You can walk Backward wow !!!
Great video! But it looks odd when you're walking backwards and talking! LOL
I felt the same way, distracting,,,, just walk forward & everything will feel normal
Great lens! I shot an entire wedding with it on my a6000
how was it in low light focus?
Julio González it was not too bad especially on the a6000. I really didn’t have any issues.
Are you the main photographer? I am also thinking of using my A6000 on weddings but the A6000 doesn't have dual card slot.
Sorren Averia for that wedding I was the only photographer. I also did have a backup camera on me to be safe.
Will it work good in family and friends parties etc. in evenings with a6000?
The lack of OIS on this lens is a deal breaker for everything other than the A6600 and A6500 which have IBIS. I would never use anything other than an ultra wide angle lens with no IS in the body or the lens.
I feel the same,,,,,,,,, but for many stabilization don't matter=====think tripods/couch vlogs/interviews etc.....
Great video, especially the Toneh.

Awesome. Why are you not at 1mil subscribers yet?!
I’m pretty done with zooms. Primes are now my companions. Sharpness is now my preference rather than agility and handiness.
& lots of bokeh :0)
Dude you got to share the settings you are using to get that perfect bokeh while walking backward
Finally Tamron released the 17-70 F2.8 for APS-C you were wishing in the video... will you do a review on it?
Sony (from what I understand) shared information with Tamron so there was no reverse engineering. Tamron performs just like a native lens.
AFTR-Photography Sony own a percentage of the company.
@@charruaporelmundo And Tamron produces the Batis lenses for Zeiss, who has access to the E mount protocols as well via their partnership with Sony.
How about comparing it to 18-105 G??
i love the tamron, been wanting to see a comparison with crop lens on crop body, thanks!
Great job. One correction, the close focusing distance is much shorter at 28mm. here is what it says on the Tamron website:
Minimum Object Distance 0.19m (7.5 in) (WIDE) /
0.39m (15.3 in) (TELE)
Maximum. Magnification Ratio 1:2.9 (WIDE) / 1:4 (TELE)
19cm min focus distance at 28mm is awesome for a non-macro lens
Great review. Thinking of buying this lens for my A6000 so I can easily upgrade to full frame.

Both are good, 105 is better for video and I think the 135 is better for travel since it is smaller.
Noticed the busy bokeh of the background that was first pointed out in another review of the Tamron. Once you know it, you notice it in other videos.
bokeh is contagious,,,, I made a video about "how to get max bokeh blur" & once you know it's benefits it becomes a very powerful tool

Prime lens will always better than zoom lens. Go get the Sigma 30 if you don't need all around or tele.
$900 WTF!! way to much.
Thank you for the review, if possible could you tell me how the auto focus of this works on old sony lines ( like 6000 or 7rii) Best
Tamron 35mm f2. 8 please 🙏
I’m dizzy. U r moving too much lol
The Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 is practically glued to my a7iii, but I rarely use it in the a6400 because of the wide end. It works, but has really limited use on the a6xxx in my opinion
Agreed!
How much does it cost
A6000 crying sounds ☹️
Thank you ❤️🙏
Sony a6100 vs a6400 Which is the best Camera...?
The A6400.
Sell me your seiko please?
Video quality is great! What camera and lens did you use when shooting the outdoor portion?
Sigma 56mm! amzn.to/2IZ02oZ
Agree not wide enough. I would like to see a review of the new Sony 20mm 1.8 with APS-C.
Just use 16 1.4 and crop it a little. Half price, only tad bigger and heavier but you also got 16mm
Great video. What camera and lens did you use to shoot this video?
A6600 + Sigma 56mm.
Is it always in f2.8? Or can I use it at f4 or f8?? Thank you.
Yes. You can't go less than 2.8 but always can go up.
The bookeh on the walking footage is damn creamy
indecentWording probably the Sigma 16mmF1.4
Aparatly the 56mm
Working with the 17-28 on Apsc works fine! Try it!👍
TheGreatGandalf09 no autofocus issues?
Would you choose it over the Sony 18-105 for an app-c camera?
It’s completely different. I use the both Tamrons on Apsc and FF. Therefore it’s an perfect combo. I love it. And yeah the combo is much better than the 18 105. I owned that and sell it a few months ago. Also the Zeiss 16 70 was not as Good as the Tamrons. They are much sharper at all and usable on both Apsc and FF.
TheGreatGandalf09 thanks for the response ....apppreciated
TheGreatGandalf09 why did you sell the 18-105...the only appeal of it is the zoom range, internal zoom and oss. But I want to shoot mostly on the wide end so the tan 17-28 with its 2.8 aperture seems more appealing...only issue is no oss, but I guess with a gimbal the lack of oss should not be an issue
