I just tested it. Tamron is better. It's significantly sharper at 75 and has a little nicer "macro", it has similar bokeh and it is generally very good lens. I chose Sigma at the end of the day only because it's form factor. The only real issue of Tamron is it is bigger (although when on 70-75mm they are almost the same length since tamron protrudes less forward - it shifts the first focal lengths inside the body) and heavier. Then the focus ring didn't feel that snappy as it does with Sigma which I didn't like but it still worked great and I was able to MF 100% sharp with no issue. Tamron is better weather sealed and you can feel it from the first time you hook it on the body. I almost thought it is faulty cause it was harder to lock it on the mount for the first time how the seal was tight. Tamron also doesn't creep out as easily as Sigma. When tamron is on 28, no matter how fast or hard you shake it, it keeps the lens inside when sigma can pull out a little bit when you shake it really and I mean REALLY hard. You can also pull it out by hand which you cannot do with tamron (and I advice not to do so). What is interesting tho is that Tamron had some dust from the start on the front elements. Sigma is completely dust free. Don't know how they did it but has probably something to do with the holes right under the first glass. If you look at Sigma from the front, you can see like 3 dark dots which are actually holes which I believe function as air vents when the elements are moving inside and somehow prevents the lens to suck the dust in as it happened with 24-70 (and obviously happens with Tamron). Interesting design. I also prefer the sigma AF toggle switch, but Tamron has programable button which can be really important for someone. It also has programmable focus ring and you can change from linear to digital focusing for example or set it on aperture.
Thanks for the review. How does it compare to the Sigma 28-70mm F2.8? In a prior video you recommended this over the older Tamron. My priorities in order are AF speed>Sharpness>Size. Many thanks
@@carlosguerrerogonzalez6097 Tamron g2, without a doubt. That's what I purchased. I've now replaced that with the Sony 2470gmii... but honestly, even though its great it really is not that much better than the Tamron g2, and I wish I'd saved my money!
@@carlosguerrerogonzalez6097 Tamron is better at 75 quality wise, but it is larger and heavier. For me it just didn't felt right, balanced sort of speak with the A7III body so I went with sigma, but it is really good lens. Sigma has a better focus ring (which is hardly a deciding factor, but feels better and more natural when operating) and Tamron sucks dust under the front element.
Finally pulled the trigger and purchased the Sony A7 IV, wow! What a camera!. My very first full frame lens is the Tamron 28-70mm G2 version. What a great combo! It’s even my very first one and I love it!
A while ago you reviewed the Sigma 28-70 contemporary. And in fact you preferred it over the first generation Tamron 28-75 enough that you said you were switching to the Sigma. I’d love to know which you’d prefer now. … the Sigma 28-70 or the Tamron 28-75 G2.
Unrelated to this video specifically. But I think I came to your channel about 5 years ago when I was first getting into photography and ready to buy my first camera, the A6000. Fast forward and I'm now back having just upgraded to an A7RiiiA because I'm now a professional creative and photography plays a huge role in the work I do daily. Wild
The old Tamron lens only had problems when opening wide aperture at 2.8, I know you were going to say that but for some reason you just showed that picture FIRST 🤭, to me the picture of your baby with white shirt is enough to see Tamron has improved lenses and coatings 😆. Thanks so much Arthur
Thanks for the review. I've been shooting with the original since it came out in all sorts of shoots from portraits, headshots, food, etc and it's worked well for me. I do not see a huge advantage for someone that owns this lens to upgrade. It has worked flawless on the 7lll and 7R4. I would recommend this lens all day . I would also recommend the wide angle 17-28mm F/2.8 Di III RXD as another lens for wide work.
I can't decide between sigma 28-70mm or this tamron. I would buy the 24-70mm sigma art if it wasn't so heavy. Reviews are making me favour this tamron. Any help from. Anyone who owns or has owned this tamron would be appreciated 👍😊
@@scottcampbell9479 Tamron is my preferred lens chair but have had Sigma in the past as well which I believe are also good bang for the buck. You can always go rent them at a local camera shop or test the there as well. Get a used Tamron if someone is upgrading as there is nothing wrong with the first version.
Got the FF Sigma 24-70 on sale. I too primarily shoot crop Sony with Sigma primes out of pure lightweight and low bulk convenience, but I’m picking up the a7iv for low light and indoor stuff around the home.
A 28-75mm on apsc would be a 42-112mm, I d advise against it, it's absolutely not wide enough to be an all-rounder like this lenses is designed to be when paired with a full frame camera
To be clear: this lens could be made in any of Tamron's five factories around the world and the fit and finish would be the same. Country of origin does not matter where Tamron is concerned.
@@NeilSnapePhotography While China and Japan continue to manufacture, the major facility will be Vietnam as things move forward. It's the newest, highest tech, highest capability. Considering all Tamron does NOT involving the photo industry (they are the world's largest lens manufacturer by a factor of 30x over their closest competitor) things will only continue to improve.
Says made in Japan on the lens. It’s not made at another factory in a different country. They illegally can’t do that. Otherwise they could get sued for false advertising. Use your brain.
Surprised to hear you say you don't shoot that much with your Sony A7C, why is that? It seems like it preforms as well if not better than the APSC. I was thinking it would become your primary camera.
It weird, but I prefer shooting on my A6100. That's the camera I grab most often if I am just running around and taking pictures. Part of the problem with the A7C is it doesnt have any custom buttons, which makes it a little inconvenient to access quick functions.
@@ArthurR makes sense, that I'm leaning towards the A7iii or IV over the A7C. I really like my A6600 but need/want and 2nd shooter as the beer half is using the A6600 more and more. The A7C is a great camera but I think for most people the A6000 series or the A7iii/iv are the better choice for most people.
@@NT_1 Yes, worth it for sure :) My fave lenses are the sony 20mm f1.8 and tamron 28-75mm G2 but there is a new Tamron 20-40mm that I really want to try!
Would be interesting to know how it compares to the 24-105 F4 OSS that I own. Obviously F4 won’t have as much bokeh, but I care more about sharpness and the 24-105 is one of the sharper lenses out there, the OSS also helps with shutter speed not needing to be too slow with it being F4.
I think It'd be odd as the focal length would become much tighter.. reaching out that the point of those lenses is going from a standard wide to standard telephoto, which would be lost using a ff lens of that kind on apsc. Outside of that maybe the apsc testing uncompared by itself would still be fun and interesting to watch!
Hi Arthur, good review video as always! One question for you: Sigma 28-70 f2.8 & Tamron 28-75 f2.8 g2, which one will you buy? I am looking for your answer and I will do the same, thanks
Both are good, and the Sigma 28-70 is even a little cheaper. The sigma has a stepper motor while this Tamron has a linear motor. In terms of autofocus speed I think the Tamron is better. In terms of sharpness, I think they are equivalent. I sold my Sigma 28-70 and I bought the Tamron 28-75 G2, so take that for what its worth :)
I can't decide between sigma 28-70mm or this tamron. I would buy the 24-70mm sigma art if it wasn't so heavy. Reviews are making me favour this tamron. Any help from. Anyone who owns or has owned this tamron would be appreciated 👍😊
Scott, I have owned all of them. I owned the original Tamron, then bought the Sigma to go with my A7C as it was just a little bit lighter (the Tammy went to my A9). I like the new Tammy better than all of them. I did like the smaller and lighter version of the Sigma and if that is your MAIN concern, you will not be disappointed. I think the Tammy G2 is just a tad better than both - bokeh is better. Better weather sealing and better warranty on the G2. Flare issues still remain, thought.
I currently have the following lenses: Sony 20mm G, Zeiss 55mm, and the new 70-200 f/4 mk2. I'm wondering whether it'd be a better idea to add a 35mm prime or this zoom from Tamron. Any thoughts?
Hi Arthur. Thank you for the video. I have two questions. 1. You say that you mainly shoot with APS-C cameras. Why? What is the reason if you have A7C. 2. I am planning to upgrade from 6500 to A7C or A7III. Which camera is worth taking, considering that I mostly shoot video (80%).
Hey Arthur, would you say this is a good investment for APSC (I know crop factor will change the lens) I’m new to the E-Mount and waiting on my preordered FX30, I’ve consider moving or adding FF for video in the future too, so I want to buy value lenses for my FX30 that might be of use if I buy FF
Arthur, I love you and your videos. #nohomo ^^ I am switching to full frame in the near future. Is there a chance, that you increase your FF footage reviews without dropping APSC? ^^
Hey I just got the tamron 28-75 R2 - and it does not respect the setting I input in your camera for AF track sensitivity & AF Drive Speed in video - if i set to 'slow 'on my 24-105 it gives me a slow smooth focus pull - on the tamron 28-75 R2 - it does the same sloppy low budget video camera looking focus stutter jumping in video no matter what setting I input. Is the first generation 28-75 like this? is there a firmware update coming to fix this?- Does the sigma 2.8 24-70 respond to the values you input for track sens and Af drive speed?. Thanks!
The issue is the price difference here in Germany between the G1( 650 € ) and the G2 ( 950 € ), Are those improvements worth such crazy price difference ?
Was thinking of getting this to go along with my sigma 16mm f 1.4. Because if I upscale to the full frame A7Iv, it would work on that and my a6400, as well. Thoughts?
I ran this almost exclusively on my a6500 for the better part of three years, and RARELY touched my 3 sigma f1.4’s… I ended up selling my a6500 and the 3 lenses and kept the tamron to pair with my newer a7iii. It’s an AMAZING LENS… I can’t imagine how they could make it better with this new version! Don’t hesitate, it’s amazing on either apsc or full frame!
Great review, thanks! It looks like the improvement on the bokeh is quite subtle. However, many people seem to find the G1's bokeh horrible while everyone seems to love the G2's. Do you think there is any major difference that we can't see in the video? I'm trying to decide between the G2 or a used G1, since the old version is already showing up at attractive prices. Thanks!
Not an ideal focal range for APSC, I think the 17-70 makes more sense, since it is cheaper, the same size, and gives you stabilization and a more usable focal range.
Hi... I'm a long follower of this channel since i had the a6000 around 3 years ago and now finally switching to fullframe 😁 I'm torn between this tamron G2 and sigma 28-70 dg dn c, and since from the end of last year til now the sigma 18-50 dc dn c is my sole favorite lens for my a6000, i'm more inclined to the sigma. But honestly, i'm still not so sure, especially after watching many review of how good this tamron 28-75 G2 is (i had several chances of using tamron G1 in the past so i can more appreciate the improvement of the G2). So, which one do you think i should get for my fullframe setup? I'm more into videos than photos, and a gimbal user.
@@orcusdei i got the sigma...it's smaller, and the zoom ring is smoother and not located at the front end thus makes work with gimbal easier. I had not so bad experience with tamron g1, zooming when the camera is on gimbal can offset the position 😂
@@andrianwijaya1820 I got the Sigma too :D I tested both, Tamron G2 and Sigma and although tamron performs optically little better, I prefered the small size and weight of Sigma at the end.
@@andrianwijaya1820 does the sigma pick up a lot dust and is it hard to clean? I saw a review where it was mentioned that it's kinds tricky to shoot in an environment with a lot of sunlight. Also do you vlog with it? Thank you
Good review but Wi am still disappointed this lens didn’t restablish the 24mm focal. Who cares 75 vs 70 but who don t care 24 vs 28 …. It s not the same at all and when you say this covers 90% of t he needs I don t agree. For le 70-75 no more :(. That said it s a good lff et ne and the
The problem with both this lens and the first versión is that I really need a much wider focal length, applying the 1.5 cropping factor simply makes the wide angle far too narrow. Obviously, large numbers of lens buyers thought otherwise with the first version.
Great review as usual Arthur hopefully we can see a comparison between the Tamron G2 and the new Sigma 28-70

I like APSC better, its just a preference. For video work, the A7C is better than the A7III.
never thought of trying full frame lens on APSC. The sizing is too large and the price you paid isn't the price for APSC lens
Sir can you make a side by side with this and on crop mode with sigma 18-35mm f1.8+mc11? Great video!
Improvement in weather sealing with this usb port?

do a comparison with the sigma 28-70
Hey Arthur! If you had to guess, how far away do you think a potential 17-70 G2 is?
Id guess 2 years.
Please compare sigma 18-50 f2.8 and Sony G 16-55 F2.8
For my sony a6400 is this a good choice or may i consider other solution for the price?

It’s an AMAZING LENS… I can’t imagine how they could make it better with this new version! Don’t hesitate, it’s amazing on either apsc or full frame!
Could you compare it with sigma 28-70 2.8 - interesting in video autofocus, thank you
is it sharper than the sigma 28-70?
They should update the 17-28 next!
If only they made it wider! A 13-28 or a 14-28 would be awesome!
Viltrox 50mm f1.8 for sony fullframe please 😊
How does this compare to the relatively new Sigma 28-70?
YEARS PASSES BUT YOUR WIFE STILL AS BEATIFUL AS SHE WAS IN FIRST VIDEOS :)
I need a versatile lens because I can only afford one . Most likely a zoom . What’s your best recommendation for a zoom priced around £500?
Hey did you find one? A one that's also good for vlogging
Does it have image stabilization
Is it better than the 24-70 g master?
It’s cheaper
Great review, thanks! It looks like the improvement on the bokeh is quite subtle. However, many people seem to find the G1's bokeh horrible while everyone seems to love the G2's. Do you think there is any major difference that we can't see in the video? I'm trying to decide between the G2 or a used G1, since the old version is already showing up at attractive prices. Thanks!
I love it, but I wish it went to 24.
I wonder is AF will suffer on older cameras like A7II
samyang 24 - 70 f.28 please
The comparison pictures Metadata doesn't always show the old model vs new...
Will this lens replace your Sigma 28-70mm? Previously you sold the G1 to keep the Sigma.
Yes, it has. Id rank them as G2>Sigma 28-70>G1.
@@ArthurR Wow. Well that comparison is worthy of a video!
I think the lens utility makes it worth picking up. I have an a6400 and I'm considering it.
Not an ideal focal range for APSC, I think the 17-70 makes more sense, since it is cheaper, the same size, and gives you stabilization and a more usable focal range.
Can anyone recommend Tamron lenses for Canon eosr RP.
Do you prefer this lens or the sigma 28-70 f2.8 ?
Hi...
I'm a long follower of this channel since i had the a6000 around 3 years ago and now finally switching to fullframe 😁
I'm torn between this tamron G2 and sigma 28-70 dg dn c, and since from the end of last year til now the sigma 18-50 dc dn c is my sole favorite lens for my a6000, i'm more inclined to the sigma. But honestly, i'm still not so sure, especially after watching many review of how good this tamron 28-75 G2 is (i had several chances of using tamron G1 in the past so i can more appreciate the improvement of the G2).
So, which one do you think i should get for my fullframe setup? I'm more into videos than photos, and a gimbal user.
Which one did you get? :D (tamron is better, sigma smaller)
@@orcusdei i got the sigma...it's smaller, and the zoom ring is smoother and not located at the front end thus makes work with gimbal easier. I had not so bad experience with tamron g1, zooming when the camera is on gimbal can offset the position 😂
@@andrianwijaya1820 I got the Sigma too :D I tested both, Tamron G2 and Sigma and although tamron performs optically little better, I prefered the small size and weight of Sigma at the end.
@@andrianwijaya1820 does the sigma pick up a lot dust and is it hard to clean? I saw a review where it was mentioned that it's kinds tricky to shoot in an environment with a lot of sunlight. Also do you vlog with it?
Thank you
@@orcusdei how's it for vlogging? I'm trying to get this along with the a7iv
I bought this lens on black Friday for 100$ off. Great lens and useful button
Love your review video as always!!❤
It helps a lot!!(⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎)
But may i know what is the usb type-c port for, or how to use it?
Good review but Wi am still disappointed this lens didn’t restablish the 24mm focal. Who cares 75 vs 70 but who don t care 24 vs 28 …. It s not the same at all and when you say this covers 90% of t he needs I don t agree. For le 70-75 no more :(. That said it s a good lff et ne and the
That said it s a good lens and interesting evolution but why 28-75 except that it d far easier to build than a good 24-70 :)
Great ♥️♥️
The problem with both this lens and the first versión is that I really need a much wider focal length, applying the 1.5 cropping factor simply makes the wide angle far too narrow.
Obviously, large numbers of lens buyers thought otherwise with the first version.
And how many of those were APS-C users?
goog
28mm kill its . no need for this now sigma got the 24-70
This lens is too big for such a nice handy camera. You have lost your entire advantage of the compactness of the system camera.
In a way I agree, but this is an F2.8 zoom. There arent many f2.8 zooms that are smaller.
