I have this lens and I love it. It's on my a6400 90% of the time, for photos & videos, for work and for fun. I also have a bunch of primes, some modern, some vintage, which all have their unique flavor, but for versatility and quality, this is it.
For me, it suits me really well. It's not tiny, but it's not large large. I've used it for 3-4 hour long sessions (following some biologists around in the field for example), two handed, one handed, never felt like the lens was too heavy or cumbersome.
@@kistovisback i see. thanks for your reply. i thought it felt heavy. i must build more muscles =D i been watching the comparison of tamron 17-70 and sigma 16-50mm and sony 18-55. and because my sony zv-e10 is smaller and lighter than the tamron, the tamron seem huge.
@@RocZi Yes. indeed. The key advantage of the Tamron for me is the VC, because I do mostly video. The VC is the difference between useable hand held footage and no usable hand held footage. Don't get me wrong, it's not magic, but holding it steady "interviewing" someone, or slow steady pans, it works. If I were to think about photo mainly, I would 100% go for the Sigma. Then again, unlike my a6400, with the zv-e10 you have both active stabe and catalyst browse giro data, so you're willing to put up with the extra post processing step of catalyst browse, you could use the sigma for hand held video too, if that's a concern.
hello sir, i want to ask about the stabilization of Sony A6700 and Tamron 17-70mm. I have Sony A6700 and Sigma 16mm, but recently i want to buy a zoom lens. I want to buy Tamron 17-70mm just like yours. But i am aware there are a lot of people who said that the IBIS in A6700 fighting with the VC in Tamron 17-70mm, and its not recommended for the combination. can you share your experience using A6700 and Tamron 17-70 ? and also can you tell me things to be aware of before i buy the lens for my a6700 sir? Thank you so much.. i'm waiting for your reply. Godbless
Thanks, your video helped me to confirm my purchase, by knowing I can also use this lens on a full-frame in the future, getting the same clean results.
Hi. Impressed with your review. You got it spot on. I tried a Sigma 30mm F1.4 in my a6400 and i would say i didn't like it as i was more into landscape and wider shots. I had to move a long way back to frame my shots. The closeups were very good with good Bokeh but for wider shots it's not recommended. Then i researched and found this Tamron 17-70mm. It's a great addition for those who want to cover everything from portrait to landscape. Cheap price range. The only negative is that some times it doesn't focus on the desired region when pressing the shutter half way. You have to press a couple times to get the focus point spot on in 17mm. The other SOny Kit lens would do this more quicker. The image quality is great for such a budget Lens. This is a must have lens for Sony APSC shooters.
I’m a portrait and headshot photographer who shoots full-time on Fuji (XT5 with primes) but I’m thinking of adding a Sony camera into the mix and probably gonna get the A6700 due to budgetary reasons. I’ll probably choose this as my first lens as it looks like it would be great for natural light headshots and studio portraits, as well as environmental portraits and even family photos. Very cool review!
Thanks for the video! Choosing between Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 and Tamron 17-70mm f2.8 for my Sony A6700. What I love about Sigma is the size, it's smaller than Tamron, but Tamron has larger zoom and VC which is good for video. Hard choice :D

there isn't one. The best lens is the one you have. Regardless of the focal range, regardless if it is a zoom or a prime, you can make it work for whatever type of filming or photography you are shooting. There isn't one lens for everything that I can recommend to you. We are all different and have different needs when it comes to photography or cinematography.
Hi, thank you for this video. If we want to use this lens on a Full Frame camera, the quality of the photo will decrease. For example, 24mega pixel will be about 8mp. How about video resolution?
@@PavSZ Thank you very much for your answer. I want to find out if we can invest in Aps-c lenses and use them in full-frame cameras instead of investing in expensive full-frame lenses?
great review! when do you think tamron will release this version for full frame versions? i have a sony a7iv and would like the 17-70mm f2.8, that would be the perfect lens!
Nice video. Wish it was bit smaller but it has been a great lens so far. What VND filter would you recommend? I'm a hobbyist. Want to start shooting camping videos with this lens. (Sony a6400)
I can't see why it would not hold. Not huge zoom but certainly fast enough. It will be more dependant on the camera and how you use it to get very good results using it for fast moving sports.
@@PavSZ thanks for the update. Fujifilm doesn't offer anything in that range at that aperture. I'd love to see Tamron port that lens over to X mount. Then maybe, Fujifilm will make a native f2.8 zoom other than the current 16-80 f4 or 16-55 f2.8. Those lenses are dated, still expensive and need an update like they're doing with their primes.
Just bought this lens for my fx30, very happy with it. However at 3:50 you mention how if you place this lens on a full frame camera you get 25-105....thats not true, it crops in making it closer to 37-157.....not sure why you thought there wouldnt be a crop on a full frame camera?
It is an APS-C lens, it crops at 1.5x factor so you do get 25.5-105mm equivalent exactly on a full frame camera. www.tamron.eu/en-GB/p/d082ed72-afd8-4ff5-bc26-717266d157e6/17-70mm-f28-di-iii-a-vc-rxd
@@PavSZ @PavSZ Thats the full frame equivalent, it doesn't mean you get that range if you literally place the same lens on a full frame camera. If you apply an ASPC lens onto a full frame body you get a 1.5 crop FROM 25.5-105..... hence if you put this lens on a Sony A7iii for example, your NEW range would be 37-157mm......otherwise full frame and ASPC lenses would be the same! For the same reason if you place a full frame lens on an APSC, you will need to crop in as there will be significant vignetting.
@@PatrickCrawfordVideowhen you put a apsc lens onto a fullframe, say this 17 70 lens, the focal range will still be 17 70 on fullframe, giving us the true focal range of 17 70, much wider than using with an apsc, but with heavy vignetting - make it unusable. So we have to use apsc crop mode to zoom into the sensor to get rid of those vignetting. And the final focal range is 1.5x closer. 17 70 turn in to a 25.5 to 105. The field of view is exactly the same with an apsc camera now. Please just try yourself and learn better before conclusion!
bought it. Happy with it. Now I wonder if I should sell or keep the 16-55 Sony. I could probably get 700 USD. The Tamron has image stabilization, which makes it great for video. The Sigma 18-50 and the Sony 16-55 have no stabilization, which makes the handheld video more problematic. The Tamron image stabilization is pretty great on APSC Sony cameras without IBIS.
@@PavSZ I also have the sony 70-350 for longer focal lengths. I would like more image quality up to 70mm. This is why I am interested in the Tamron 17-70mm.
i just got this lens. I purchased this due to versatility for run and gun situations, due to IS and the faster aperture. I agree to all your comments about this lens!
i'm still confused with crop factor. i owned one but does this mean 17mm is about 25mm? or since it's for apsc, it's just 17mm! 😅 my friend said it's around 24-105mm using on my A6400
Hi, would you recommend this or the 18-105, i've been in complete confusion when comparing the 2 of these, when i was about to purchase this, the salesman said that the focus on the tamron is slower with the a6400 compared to 18-105, but in conclusion, which of the 2 would you recommend? Thanks!
I have never used the Sony 18-105. I'm sure it is a very good lens though and much wider focal range than this Tamron. I can't say that af is slower on Tamron. That will hugely depend what you use the lens for
I've owned both. Great range on the 18-105 but I wasn't that happy with it. I just thought it had a cheap feel to the image and out-of-focus areas! The image quality of the Tamron give a much more premium look. I rarely bother using any other lens now! The 18-105 is good if you're filming live events/stage shows but that's about it!
Hi Pav Thanks for this wonderful video on this particular lens i am looking for to buy. Just on a different note, is there any chance I can request for a photography session from you please. If you are in UK, I would love to spend couple of hours with you as a student and learn photography. It will be really really a big opportunity for me. Looking forward to hear from you. Many Thanks Ani
on a ff it is 25 to 105mm but you will have crop when taking photos. Same photo quality but less pixels across, smaller files. With video you will have no crop. 4k or HD will be the same size as with a full frame lens
@@FactNight there isn't one answer to your question. It will depend on the type of the room, type of the video and what lighting you have. I personally like 50mm f1.2 a lot but I also use Sony 35mm f1.8, Sigma 35mm f2, Sigma 16-28mm f2.8 and others.
Hi. I found a big deal. Tamron 17-70 is only $20 price difference then Sigma 18-50. Between those two lenses (at the same price which one do you choose? Thanks
@@ivanoliveira1126 that will be very much camera and camera settings dependant. f2.8 certainly allows it to be more versatile in lower lighting conditions than a standard kit lens
If we’re talking “equivalents” then it’s really just a 25-105 f4 full frame equivalent. With that in mind, Tamron basically created a mini 24-105 f4 for APSC. The only advantage is that it does relatively collect a little more light being a 2.8, but the depth is the more or less equivalent to a full frame f4.

Hello channel owner, I have watched a few videos on your channel to refer to the lens after watching, I am wondering between the 18-50mm sigma f2.8 lens and between the tamron 17-70 f 2.8. My need is to have a versatile lens that is more about shooting and shooting at a good level. Can the channel owner give me some advice? Thank you.!
@@PavSZ thank you. I’m debating lenses, but trying to find reviews from people who bought the lens so there is less chance of a bias, and more forthcoming with criticism (not worried about whether they will continue to get lenses /equipment in the future). I enjoyed your video. Still found it informative. I am subscribed. Also, thank you for your response.
@@ark-astrophotography915 I very, very rarely say negative things about the lenses anyway. I have shot with the 2 cheapest lenses I could buy commercially for over 10 years and build my business on that. I believe that currently all lenses and cameras are totally usable and only us, the humans are the problem. Lenses like this Tamron are very good and if there is any shortcoming or a "problem" with it, you just work around it. You adapt and use it to your best ability and it won't let you down.
Have you ever review sony Rx100 Viii and V?.. I’m on the searching of those “old” guys for it portability (I own a7iv too). The Vii for it range but the V is 1.8. If you do, please take on consideration picture IQ, for a photographer since everybody talk about video spec 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️.
@@PavSZ Tamron updated 28-75 f2.8 after 3 years. 70-180 f2.8 is supposed to be updated at the end of 2023 ie after 3 years. Hopefully 17-70 f2.8 is next.
How are you enjoying your lens? I plan on getting one for myself. I have a Sony Zv e-10 and I’m just starting in the world of photography and videography. What do you think?
I do not shoot weddings so it is not for me but saying that it would be totally usable. If this is good for you too shoot a wedding with it ... it would hugely depend on your photography skills and most importantly your style. Only you can answer your question

Just on a different note, is there any chance I can request for a photography session from you please. If you are in UK, I would love to spend couple of hours with you as a student and learn photography.
It will be really really a big opportunity for me.
Looking forward to hear from you.
Many Thanks
Ani
Thanks!

I don't understand the part of if you use it on a FF camera
on a ff it is 25 to 105mm but you will have crop when taking photos. Same photo quality but less pixels across, smaller files.
With video you will have no crop. 4k or HD will be the same size as with a full frame lens
Is this lens best for indoor shoots like you for making RUclips videos ) ? & What's your lens in which you have made this video?
it could work, depends on the room and the lighting.
I think this video was filmed with Sony 50mm f1.2 GM
According to you, which lens is best for making indoor RUclips videos?
@@FactNight there isn't one answer to your question. It will depend on the type of the room, type of the video and what lighting you have. I personally like 50mm f1.2 a lot but I also use Sony 35mm f1.8, Sigma 35mm f2, Sigma 16-28mm f2.8 and others.
can i get the same result with alpha 6400?
yes! absolutely
Will this lens suite perfect with latest Sony q7c2 ?
it will work on a7CII but with a crop. This is NOT a full frame lens
Can I use this lens on my Lumix g85 that is micro 4/3 sensor?
no, it is Sony-E mount
@@PavSZ okey thank you so much for clear my doubts 🙏
would you personally rather choose this or the Sigma 18-50 ?
this
@@PavSZ alright thanks! 👍
now I just have to figure out which I buy first - the Tamron 11 to 20 or the Tamron 17-70 🤷♂️😅
I really like the Tamron 11-20 - have you seen my review of it? ruclips.net/video/q_ME5O-sFLs/видео.html
@@PavSZ Yep sure ! I also already commented there. i really liked your vlog !👍
Hi.
I found a big deal. Tamron 17-70 is only $20 price difference then Sigma 18-50.
Between those two lenses (at the same price which one do you choose?
Thanks
I'd choose both 😉
@@PavSZ LOL. Wish I could it hehehe
Oi, como ficam as fotos a noite sem flash em 2.8? Ficam sem granulado?
I'd answer but I only speak English and Polish
@@PavSZ Hi, how are the photos at night without flash in 2.8? Are they grainy?
@@ivanoliveira1126 that will be very much camera and camera settings dependant. f2.8 certainly allows it to be more versatile in lower lighting conditions than a standard kit lens
@@PavSZ thank you for your help.
25-105 f/2.8 is great. Why can’t they make the full frame version of this?
I wish they did!
If we’re talking “equivalents” then it’s really just a 25-105 f4 full frame equivalent. With that in mind, Tamron basically created a mini 24-105 f4 for APSC. The only advantage is that it does relatively collect a little more light being a 2.8, but the depth is the more or less equivalent to a full frame f4.
Is it ok for travel? Size looking big/heavy and bulky.
it is ok for travel. You won't find another 17-70mm smaller than this
hello sir, i want to ask about the stabilization of Sony A6700 and Tamron 17-70mm. I have Sony A6700 and Sigma 16mm, but recently i want to buy a zoom lens. I want to buy Tamron 17-70mm just like yours. But i am aware there are a lot of people who said that the IBIS in A6700 fighting with the VC in Tamron 17-70mm, and its not recommended for the combination.
can you share your A6700's steady shot setting in this video? Is it Off, Standard or Active? Because i see that your footage of A6700 and Tamron 17-70 are super smooth and there are no jitters whatsoever.
And can you tell me things to be aware of before i buy the lens for my a6700 sir? Thank you so much.. i'm waiting for your reply. Godbless
I have tested it with a6600 and a7IV.
I never heard that Sony's IBIS has to fight Tamron's VC. I think I've used a gimbal in my review
@@PavSZ So use gimbal and turn off A6600 Steadyshot?
@@igLEON I never switch the Sony's stabilisation off. I never noticed that Tamron does not work with it
Can I use this lens in Sony zv e10
yes
Hello man, I have this lens and I felt paired with the ibis on my a6600 I have micro jiltter that I don’t have on with my sigma who doesn’t have Oss ..do you have the same ?
I can't say that I have seen anything like that on my a6600 and this lens
I would think that because of it having 2.8 at 70mm it would work well with a teleconverter, have you tried this?
sorry but no - I only had a lens for few weeks for this review
@@PavSZ now worries after writing that I looked up how much sony e teleconverters cost and I could just get a dedicated telephoto lens or two for the price of those things xD
What nd filter is the best for this lens???
K&F Concept offers solid and affordable options
Great videoo! Thank you man! :)
thank you for watching!
Hello channel owner, I have watched a few videos on your channel to refer to the lens after watching, I am wondering between the 18-50mm sigma f2.8 lens and between the tamron 17-70 f 2.8. My need is to have a versatile lens that is more about shooting and shooting at a good level. Can the channel owner give me some advice? Thank you.!
both lenses are great. Only you can decide which focal length is better for you
quick question, this is compatible with sony a7iii right? i'm kinda new to photography. Thanks!!
yes but with a crop. This is APS-C lens. You'll get only 12mpx resolution on a7III
@@PavSZ I see. Is there a full frame alternative that would you recommend with almost the same zoom but also budget wise? Thank you very much!
Did Tamron lend you this lens for the review (whether it was sponsored or not)?
it was not sponsored, paid or influenced in any way but it was on loan from Transcontinenta, Tamron distributor in UK
@@PavSZ thank you.
I’m debating lenses, but trying to find reviews from people who bought the lens so there is less chance of a bias, and more forthcoming with criticism (not worried about whether they will continue to get lenses /equipment in the future).
I enjoyed your video. Still found it informative.
I am subscribed.
Also, thank you for your response.
@@ark-astrophotography915 I very, very rarely say negative things about the lenses anyway. I have shot with the 2 cheapest lenses I could buy commercially for over 10 years and build my business on that. I believe that currently all lenses and cameras are totally usable and only us, the humans are the problem.
Lenses like this Tamron are very good and if there is any shortcoming or a "problem" with it, you just work around it. You adapt and use it to your best ability and it won't let you down.
Have you ever review sony Rx100 Viii and V?.. I’m on the searching of those “old” guys for it portability (I own a7iv too). The Vii for it range but the V is 1.8. If you do, please take on consideration picture IQ, for a photographer since everybody talk about video spec 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️.
I have reviewed RX100 VII awhile ago
All your foto are edited?
yes
Hey is this good for sports?
theoretically speaking, yes
I'm sold.
Very good lens
@@PavSZ Gonna make this alongside the FX30 my firsts!!
One lens to rule them all.
it kind of is
I am waiting for second generation of this lens
It might be too soon for v.2
@@PavSZ Tamron updated 28-75 f2.8 after 3 years. 70-180 f2.8 is supposed to be updated at the end of 2023 ie after 3 years. Hopefully 17-70 f2.8 is next.
thanks
thank you for watching!
It doesn't have auto focus?
it does
Not sure how it gets 25mm to 105mm on full frame. The lens only goes to 70mm. So, 25-70mm f2.8 for FF? Sounds like a normal range pro lens!
you multiply full focal range by 1.5x. It can't be 70 on APS-C and 70mm on full frame. This is 25.5 to 105mm on a full frame
What are you using to record this video?
I think I've filmed this with Sony a7sIII and 35mm f1.8 lens
useful
Thanks
is this a good lens for High School Basketball ?
I can't see why not. Your camera skills, right settings etc. will be more important in this situation
I thought Arnold Schwarznegger was talking to us about lens
really? wrong accent and wrong country
bought this guy today for 449,- Euro.. 24-06-06
How are you enjoying your lens? I plan on getting one for myself. I have a Sony Zv e-10 and I’m just starting in the world of photography and videography.
What do you think?
is better then 28-75 ?
it's a different lens. Can't say it is better or worse. It's Tamron high quality.
FIRST!!!
well done!!!
How about video?😮
I don't understand your question as I talk about its video performance in my review 3:16
Would you shoot a wedding with this?
I do not shoot weddings so it is not for me but saying that it would be totally usable. If this is good for you too shoot a wedding with it ... it would hugely depend on your photography skills and most importantly your style. Only you can answer your question
@@PavSZ
Fair comment....
Cheers pal 👍🏻
