    Gorgeous photos, Pav- now I want it! I recently bought the Tamron 28-200 for my a7c and that lens has impressed me way more than I was expecting. I also have the other two thirds of the Tamron trilogy. No complaints.

    I have that lens and use it for all sorts of things. I use it for event photography, portraits, even for indoor events where it is a large space. Would buy it again if needed. Also have the Tamron 28-75 f2.8 G2 lens, so as you said, a nice companion. I also use my Sigma 85mm f1.4 for portraits and indoor events. For traveling, I really pack light most times and use the Tamron 24mm f2.8, Sigma 65mm f2 and Sigma 90mm f2.8. Did have the Sony 20mm f1.8 but I so seldom use wide angle lenses, that the Tamron would be just as sharp, but a slower lens with more barrow distortion. But the rare times I would use a wide angle lens, it is handy.

      @@PavSZ I agree totally...and it's a truly great lens. I actually like it better than the 35-150. The latter lens is much heavier and though it eliminates the need for two lenses, at the same time, you lose on both ends (wide and telephoto). At events, I mostly use the 28-75 and 70-180 and that covers all my needs.

    Doesnt sony own tamron ? Or provide glass or something for tamron ? I think thats why its 70-180 and not 70-200. So it doesnt "replace" sonys 70-200.
    Just a thought....... I have this lens and its a freaking beast !

  • @catalin-ap
    @catalin-ap 2 года назад +2

    Had it, it's quite nice, fast focusing. It has some distortion in at least one of the sides of the zoom (don't recall if the 70 or 180), and it's sharp, but in one side of the zoom (again, don't know in which, the corner sharpness is ok but not stellar).
    I traded it in for a Tamron 35-150 f/2-2.8, which is brilliant, larger and better built, and with more physical controls.

  • @vaidehiarts
    @vaidehiarts 2 года назад +6

    There is no similar lens in this form factor, in any system. I'd buy this lens in a heartbeat if they offered it for L-Mount. It is a must-have range, and the L-Mount lacks anything in the 800 gram range for this focal range and f-stop

    • @PavSZ

      yes. I'd love to see it in L-mount in the future

    "Minimal focusing dystans is 85cm"?
    What You talking about image stabilization?
    Something goes wrong. I got wrong information, or You talking about different lense.
    This lense don't have any stabilisation, and minimal Focus is 27cm.

    • @PavSZ
      @PavSZ  Год назад

      the minimal focusing distance is 85cm auto focusing across the zoom range - that is correct (www.tamron.eu/en-GB/p/d807b3ac-2f36-4d86-ba19-ef2134144e0e/70-180mm-f28-di-iii-vxd)
      27cm in MF at 70mm
      No stabilisation - I've made a mistake with that, it happens.
