I have been using it for a week on the a7c and it has been so far my favorite walkaround lens. Pretty much the lightest / most versatile full-frame zoom setup.
Thanks. Good to hear I'm not alone with my opinions😀
I already own the lens and it is currently teamed with a Sony A73iiiA for landscape stuff. I bought the new 6700 to go with my 90mm macro to give me a bit more working distance, that equates to a 135mm equivilant. I am considering buying the new A7Cii to replace the a7iiiA and then they will cover my street and landscape needs. I always carry a longer lens combo, for those times when asking permission would spoil those special moments. The first time I ever went out to do street I observed a mother and her adult daughter sharing a portion of French fries and enjoying a chat. I had a Pan GM5 with a 40 - 175 that could have caught the moment lovely, but I asked for permission, which was refused and the opportunity was lost.
So my future plans are to use the a7Cii and Tamron for the close in stuff and the 6700 and 90mm for those fade into the background opportunities in the future.
Thanks for sharing.
For my Fujifilm X-E4 I am using a Sigma 30mm f1.4 lens. I have just started using the lens but I love it.
Many years ago I used a Contax G1 with its 45mm f2.0 lens. That setup was my everyday street camera and lens.
Now it’s the X-E4 and the Sigma 30mm f1.4.
Thanks. I have the X-T30 and the Sigma 30mm F1.4. It's a nice combo.
I shoot a little street, but I have a lot of fun with the lumix tz100 in dynamic monochrome mode, for my needs is all I need. Thanks for the video Mr. Sulanto 😊
Thanks for sharing.
My favorite street photography prime lens is either a 35mm or 50mm FF equivalent. Favorite zoom lens for street photography must be a 70-200mm f 2.8 because it is so versatile (although it is not really traditional street protography lens [I just love that compression and shallow depth of field around 150-200mm range] ) You are welcome.
Thanks so much for sharing.
Dear Matti, it is certainly a high-quality combo. However, I think that the photographic market offers the right equipment for every situation. I am an M43 user and I am well aware that for some jobs the FF is superior in iso hold, blur and overall quality. I have no doubts. But when we are talking about street I think smaller sensor formats have may advantage. Firstly discretion, secondly the possibility to have larger apertures while maintaining a good depth of field. Of course these are personal choices, but knowing you for years I think you could partly share my thoughts. Have a fantastic day
Thanks. Sure every sensor size or system has its place and in the end it's the photographer who decides what camera or lens works.
Nice video Matti and another proof that thitd party manufacturers can make excellent and interesting lenses. On the street I use either my 14-42mm EZ pancake lens (as I have it always on me) or the 25mm and 45mm f1.8. I have kind of the same experience with zoom lenses but more in a three step. For instance on the 14-42mm lens I use 14, 25 and 42mm. (I use it preset to 25mm).
Thanks so much for sharing!
You met some beautiful, friendly people in the market. I couldn't part with my Sony A7rii when I upgraded so I use it as a street camera with a Sony 28mm f2.
Thanks. The A7RII is still a great camera. I had one and shot some of my best photos on it.
Great review I am seriously considering this lens and yes it will mostly be stuck at 40mm for the street but in other circumstances I will use the full range.
Thanks. It's a really nice lens.
I shoot 35mm prime but considering the Tamron 18-300mm. Great value for $ and adds versatility. Who has time when shooting street to change lenses….the scene is gone.
Thanks for your video. Have you noticed a lack of sharpness at 40mm ?
Thanks. My lens is really sharp at all apertures and through the zoom range. I'm actually surprised how sharp it is.
tampon needs to make one for M43 :) I will get it then.!
Those heads caught me by surprise.
Heads up😀
Maybe time to trade in my Sony 16-35 f4, and also possibly the Batis 25 f2. The Batis is very sharp and met my need (want) of a moderate wide angle when there weren't a lot of options, but I don't use it a lot these days. Each time I think of selling it, I pull back. The Sony also was one of few choices but is heavier than I like to haul around. Much of the time when I am in cities (infrequent these days), I put on the 55mm 1.8 for night use. Daytime I try to use the 85mm 1.8 which I totally love.
Thanks. All I can say is that I really like this Tamron😀
@@mattisulanto OK, I did the deed last week. Traded in those two, and an FE 35f2.8, plus a few more bits - not much retained value, I'm afraid, but I did get a few bucks back. So far, one outing and quite happy with this lens. The close focus at 20mm is insane!
I am not Sony (or even FF) shooter, but I find my 20-40 (Pentax Limited) also kinda sweet spot for walking around. It is 30mm (on APS-C it is 45mm equivalent) with a bit w wiggle room up and down :)
Thanks for sharing.
At 40mm is it comparable to your Sony prime ? At least from the samples in your videos the Sony seems to be quite better
I have not compared them side by side, but both are really nice and sharp. I don't know how you came to that conclusion only by looking at photos in two different videos in 4k resolution.
@@mattisulanto thanks for your reply! It was just an impression of course, not backed by proper side by side comparison and this is why I asked your take on these two interesting lenses
Imo it is rather big and intrusive for a 2x zoom even full frame.
Sony E-mount has a very shallow 18.00mm flange to sensor distance which probably preludes it fitting any other mount, the image circle.
Thanks for sharing your opinion.
Hi! I have this lens, and I have heard that there is vignetting at 20mm with a 67mm nd filter. I'm also worried about there being vignetting if I use a step up ring. What nd filter and/or step up ring do you use with this lens? I was looking at getting the Polar Pro Peter McKinnon filter with mist. Should I get that (if so what size), or should I get a different filter? Thanks!
I have a video about my accessories and the ND filter is covered too: ruclips.net/video/DwCpL2eLyHc/видео.html
I have a Nikon Z and think about to adapt a Zoom like the 20-40. I have the 50 1.8 S. Would be a good combo..
Thanks.
Wow I hope we see more zoom options starting at 20mm.
Thanks, me too.
Where I live we have very introverted people. So you need as small a camera as you can get. My GM1 with the 12-32 mm seems the best option.
Thanks. Sometimes the smallest is the best.
I have sony 1635gm lens which on my A7C, but it's too heavy to carry around for my trip. I want to buy tamron 2040 f2.8 lens
Thanks for sharing.
Primes limit how I would like to compose my pictures
Pentax Q7
Panasonic Lumix GM1
Panasonic Lumix GM5
Olympus E-PL5
Olympus stylus 1
Sorry to bother you with so many models to your way I just wanted to ask for an expert opinion hope you can help me as I'm not aware much of what to get just some basic need for a hobby and the selection above is what I narrowed it down, just wanted to know which one of then are more compact and fun to use
Would really appreciate it
Other then this what is your self opinion on which I have not mentioned above ?
Camera choice is personal and you might not like the same camera I like. Of those you mentioned I'd probably take the GM5 with the 12-32mm kit lens.
@@mattisulanto thank you for the guide ✌🏼
What I'd really like to have for street photography is a lens like the old Leica Tri-Elmars.
But you can use a Leica Tri-Elmar with an adapter😀
@@mattisulanto expensive, mediocre imagine quality in the corners because of Sonys thick filter stack, no autofocus, or expensive and slow autofocus with the Techart adapter...
@@mrbaiser4133 Maybe a modern zoom is better after all?
I use an A7III with 20mm f/1.8 and 35mm f/1.4 primes. The 35mm 70% of the time and the remainder 20mm
Thanks.
@@mattisulanto Also a Tamron 28-75 f2.8 when I'm not sure what I may encounter in a new area. From where I'm at the 35mm prime does the heavy lifting
My favorite and only zoom lens I have is the Panasonic S Pro 16-35mm f4. I do prefare the primesz but for extra wide I enjoy the zoom since it allows to fill the frame better.
Thanks.
@@mattisulanto I actually bought the S5 thanks to your comment like a year ago! I was wondering should I wait for A7 IV or go for S5 at big discount and you suggested S5 and I couldn't be happier! Tried A7IV and apart from AF and FullHDMI I like Panasonic much better 🙂 Kiitos!
@@ReiDoesIt The S5 is a really nice camera, if you don't need reliable video AF. Glad to hear you are happy with it.
Sorry Matti the pics from this zoom don't seem that sharp and they seem "flat" to me, just as Robin Wong said recently about zoom lenses. Perhaps I am seeing what I want to see. Don't enjoy being negative 😐
Thanks. I can't argue with that, you see what you see😀
Too bad there is no Lens for APS-C/MFT with an equivalent focal length. Would have been awesome to have a 14-28mm for Fuji or a 10-20mm for MFT
Panasonic has the 10-25mm F1.7.
@@mattisulanto hi Matti, the 10-25mm is probably an awesome lens but way too bulky to shoot street. The only almost equivalent lens which comes to my mind would be the 8-25 f4 Olympus. But it's f4... So sadly not really an ideal substitute :/
@@kornasteniker3939 There is also the Tamron 11-20mm F2.8 for Sony APS-C and it should become for Fuji too soon. It's a bit wider though, but reasonably compact and affordable.
Is this the same lens as the Pentax 20-40mm f/2.8 ltd?
I doubt it, because this is a relatively new mirrorless lens. That Pentax lens is for a DSLR.
@@mattisulanto so it's a full frame design?
@@philmartin5689 Yes.
If I win lottery I will add to his brother the 28-75mm f2.8 g2... 🙂
Even a smaller win is enough for this🙂
I prefer a small (physically) prime for this type of shooting. That rigs too big for my taste for street…so I leave my full frame behind for that use and use an A6000 with a 25 mm TTArtisan 2.0 prime attached.
Thanks for sharing.
Mine is z5 with z 40mm
Not a bad set up either.
this should have been an f2 lens, not f 2.8
Then it would've been huge in size
@@devdeepganguly2627Exactly. Sigma has something similar, the 24-35 f2.
👍
Full Frame for street? 🧐 I‘ll stick with MFT!
Please do😀
