Low-key, Tamron's consistent use of that 67mm filter is kind of a killer feature in itself. All their DSLR primes (the 85, 45, 35) and even the 100-400mm have it, and it saves time and expense.
@@jambononi in case nobody introduced you to it yet, magnetic filters are the greatest thing ever. Combine that with a universal mm up ring and it really makes lens switching on the fly super seamless.
I shoot real estate as my profession and was using the Sony Zeiss 16-35 f4. Now that I have the Tamron I will be selling the Zeiss. Overall the image quality is much better with the Tamron and window blooming is much better controlled as well. Super happy with the Tamron and not missing the 1mm one bit.
Color me impressed. I'm a real estate shooter and the 16-35GM is my workhorse. The 1mm at the wide end doesnt make a big difference to me as I usually hang out between 18mm-24mm anyway, but I really do wish it had a AF/MF switch. Already owning the Gmaster (which I think is a fantastic lens) it makes no sense for me to switch, but if something were to happen to that lens the Tamron would get a serious look before deciding what to replace it with.
@@R1kka I actually didn't know that (probably because the AF lenses I currently use on jobs all have switches), but as configurable as the Sony bodies are it makes sense.
Hey Max. Thanks for the review. Now it sounds like Tamron has the lead on a lot of comparisons despite the lower price and I would agree to a large extent, but there is something I want to touch on that noone seems to be talking about: 1. Looking at the comparison around @7:50 I assume you left your wb settings the same and just switched lenses for a direct comparison?If that's the case the GM looks significantly warmer than the Tamron - which leaves the question - what was more true to reality? 2. And this might actually be the BIGGEST selling point - if you didn't change the settings, especially ISO you can see a huge difference in image quality. On the Tamron there's a lot of noise creeping in (you can see it on the back of the couch in the foreground and the couch on the left) It's a constant shift of purple/dark grey, black grainy pixels that are moving. Now you could argue that one could easily remove this in post, but the shadows in the shots of the gm are perfectly clean, and even lighter right out of camera which makes for a much cleaner image, and possibly more flexibility in the grading later on. To me this is where the price is actually being justified. And it is something (and probably the only thing) that bugs me about this lens. As a owner of the 28-70mm this is something I noticed in my own shots as well. So that seems to be a Tamron thing. So, in my opinion, it is a greaaat budget lens, but definitely not as good as the GM as a lot of reviews on RUclips are currently suggesting.
Max the Tamron is pretty impressive for the value it offers compared to Sony, but I feel the upcoming Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 for Sony FE mount may prove to be the undeniable winner for the category. I’d love it if you could do a real world comparison between the two. Cheers!
So the Sony has 16mm and 29 to 35, so it has more focal range, the Sony Bokeh balls look a little better, but the blur background is pretty much the same, the focusing is faster on the Sony, as far as sharpness there isn't really a winner, but the Sony loses in many things, Sony has focus shifting in video. and is to big and heavy for a gimbal, so Tamron wins for video, Tamron zooms internally, the Tamron is smaller and lighter, has closer focusing, Tamron uses a 67 filter, Tamron has less flaring, ( better contrast ) and cost $900 dollars compared to $2200 dollars, hmmm witch one would I buy
I use both new tamron zooms. I love the weight, size and price but at events, I always find that I rather have the GM zooms because I always finding myself wanting 24mm on the 28-75, and sometimes 35mm on the 17-28mm. I simply don't have time to switch lenses or switch cameras/lens on a gimble so often feel limited when using either zooms during certain parts of an event to get the desired look I want on the fly (like 50mm equivalent @ 35mm in super crop mode with the 17-28, or 24mm in tight areas with the 28-75)
I just pulled the trigger on getting the Tamron 17-28 for my A7r111. I have the 24-70 GM and the 70-200 GM but wanted something wider but didn't want to spend the money on another GM lens. Thanks for the videos that you do.
Hey Max, good review again. I sold my 16-35mm f2.8 GM because of its weight. I use 18 and 20mm and I love batis 18mm f2.8 because of its weight. What do you think about batis 18mm f2.8 vs tamron 17-28mm. Wait for your review. Thanks so much for your energy and time.
That is the comparison I am most interested in too. The images from the Batis prime lenses are so good I realise the Tamron zoom won't neat it but would be good to see how it compares.
I just put my 16-35 GM for sale. It's my favorite lens, but way too expensive for the money I'm making right now. I'm only worried that the Tamron will have too much distortion in video, and that 17mm won't be wide enough for real estate.
Hey Max, sorry for the off topic comment, but the Lav you use outdoors is strikingly sounds amazing (I'm an audio engineer) and very silent. is this the Rode Lav with the Rode wireless system? Thank you!
Just found your motorcycle channel and thought it was really great! But you haven't uploaded in 3 years! You put out good quality videos. I wouldn't mind if you got back into lol. You have a knack for good reviews and installs. Glad to see you're doing well! Your camera channel is booming.
Great Video mate! I am getting the a7iii and not sure what lenses to get for video shoots indoor for my RUclips. To get the shallow depth of field with this lense do you need lots of space between The camera and the subject? I was looking to get the G 24mm for its F1.4 but still can't justify the price!
Thanks Max. Best review yet! I have been holding back on ordering it until some production model reviews were out.Seems like Tamron made sure to release the 17-28 f2.8 fully de- bugged having learned from the debacle and initial early bad reviews of their 28-75 f2.8.
Thank you, Max! Your review helps me a lot as always. Tamron combo is really amazing deal and I love cinematic feeling focus and shorter focus distance of 17-28.
Don't worry about it. Its not much of a comparison since the 16-35 is not only more expensive but older and a lot less sharp when you zoom in. It also isn't great in weather
I have bought and to be honest for travel I take the 17-28 and if going out family events and in more controlled environments OR I want to flex on other camera people then I use the GM
Good review! I went with the zeiss 16-35mm f4 for the stabilization (i film alot of video) and because i usually don't need to have a 2.8 shallow dof on wide landscape/real estate photos since I close down to 5.6.
It’ll be very interesting to see how the Tamron compares to the new Sigma 14-24 F2.8. The Sigma is almost double the weight and about 50% more expensive, but of course there is also a real difference between 14mm and 17mm.
Ralf Weyer this is the answer I’m looking for. I shoot wide and not sure if 17mm would be enough Some of the Sigma reviews are good and some meh...I wasn’t convinced 100%
The sigma is a better lens. However, you have to factor in the cost of getting rear view lens filters and it’s already about $700 more. It depends on what you want the tamron for. The tamron will do everything however shooting real estate can be a little bit hard depending how much room you have.
This will be my first 3rd party lens for the Sony system. Really excited to pick this up later today and this video definitely lets me know I made the right decision to order this!!
Price calculation : Maybe we should devide the 1200.- diffetence into 4 : For the included 35mm lens, included 16mm lens AF-MF switch Customizable button (forgot about whether sealing?) That might sweeten the way to look at it.
Hey Max. Thank you for doing your comparison on these 2 lens. What I would like to know is would this be a good lens for the a6400? If you could help with that, that would be awesome.
I think it would, Brian. It would be a what, 25mm-42mm equivalent? It dends on what you're using it for, but I could see that being an excellent range for street and travel photography.
@@BrianTheCameraGuy On a non-IBIS body like the A6400, maybe. If you already own any non stabilized lenses (or can turn the stabilization off) you should try it out. FWIW, the whole "wide angle doesn't need to be as stabilized" thing is BS. Also BS is that sensor stabilization or handheld gimbals with make your shots perfect...any way you cook it, you still need to move like a ninja.
I love lenses that don't extend when zooming. I would buy it just for that over the other. And the differences in performance looks minimal, for such a big price jump.
Since you seem to be the only one answering questions on their channel (THANK YOU!), I have one I cant find an answer to. I have a a6400 with the 16-35 kit Lense. I film myself playing guitar - almost exclusively a 18mm in my studio. I am looking for the sharpest possible lense available (don't need depth of field at all). What would you recommend? Side Question: If the kit lense shows 18mm, could I also use a Fullframe Sony E-Mount lense that is 18mm? Would so much appreciate an answer!!!
Since this group of Tamron lenses I think Tamron is going big against Sony's G Master lenses. The new Tamrons are as good if not better than the comparable GM lenses imo and offer some intriguing ranges. But that said, many GM lenses such as the 70-200 need renewing as tech has moved on. So I expect the new range of GM lenses to be even more expensive and even better.
@@MaksimYuryev so good!! I'm still rocking with the a7s2 ( and a6500). I'll be waiting for a a7s3 review from you! since I don't really think the a73 is that big of an upgrade for a videomaker with no native glass. ( this 17-28 came in clutch, since I'm still rocking a stupid sigma 10-20 because I couldnt find a better alternative within the budget for a Sony full frame)
@@Rappasta Yeah I've been using the Sony 10 -18 on a A7iii, which is fiiiiine, but not really that good with f4 aperture and cropped for worse low light performance. Crazy how expensive that Sony is!
When are you coming out with the Real world test? Love the channel! I’m so interested in the tamron for a cheaper alternative to the both Sony 16-35mm ziess n Gmaster versions for real estate photography..
DP’s on big sets taught me that you rub your finger on the top of your nose for a sec, and then rub your finger on the lens ring. It’ll then go on and off like butter.
Hey max, I have the Tamron on the way... sometime this year I hope -.- The only thing I don’t like about the Tamron, as you mentioned is that it’s not that wide. I don’t shoot ultra wide all that often, but if I do feel like it, I’d like to have another 2-3mms on the wide end... I was considering the sigma 14-24 f2.8.... but that leaves a gap from 24-28... I also considered the laowa 10-18, but that’s overkill. I really just wish the Tamron was 15mm or even 16 on the wide end...any suggestions?
This seems like the best E-mount lens for vlogging. Before this I would have you'd have to go with either the Batis 18mm (a bit wide), the Sony 24 (big big/heave) or Batis 25 (getting a bit too tight). This Tamron seems to be both light and more versatile.
I wonder if the next lens in their series will be wider than 17 or longer than 75. I'm guessing something like a 75-200 or a bit shorter to make it smaller like the other two.
Enjoyed the video as always! Looking forward to seeing a full review from you. After my initial impressions I found that even though it's internal zoom, it throws off the balance on my weebill lab! I've also had a couple of shots come out very soft but I'm looking into that to see if that was user error.
Hey Max- So, what's the maximum resolution of the 17-28? Sony says their GMaster lenses resolve up to 100MP. Will the Tamron fully resolve even the new 60MP A7RIV? I don't think the Sigma Art lenses will. Also noticed you didn't test out the star flares. The 11-bladed GMaster looks brilliant! 9 blades on the Tamron. I'm sure it's fine.
Doesn't look like the 1mm difference on the wide end would make much of a difference. The only thing I want to know is sun stars. Can this lens produce them?
I want to get the Tamron 17-28mm for canon and trade in my 16-35mm iii. Is this a good idea? The 16-35mm is too long and heavy, makes it hard to take selfies with my family and putting it on a small stabilizer.
I noticed the tightness when I first attached my 17-28 as well and can say after using it for 2 weeks it wasn't something that lasted too long, seems to fit like a regular lens now. The rubber gasket at the lens mount seems very high quality though. Seems very well sealed
I have the sony 16-35GM, bought it when the tamron 17-28 is not released yet, I'm thinking of selling my GM then get the 17-28 + 28-75 tamron, is it worth it? I'm only a hobbyist. I would gladly appreciate your recommendations. thanks
Thanks for your review! Furthermore, could ask you guys who has this lens did you notice that the aperture is really loud and gives quite sick noise or just mine is faulty? There is a rubbing, scratching voice when I switch on or off the camera and the aperture goes open and close. When I'm just setting the aperture only has clicking voice. I never felt/heard anything like this before from any lenses. Thanks in advance for the answers.
Nice review....but I m bit confused between Tam 17-28 and fe20 1.8g.....price r almost same.....pls advise which one is more sharper and good for filmmaking?
I don't know if it's your post, but colors on Tamron look considerably off. Other thing: I've heard (can't substantiate though) that Tamron uses some polycarbonate elements. There is nothing inherently wrong with that as far as light transmission, but plastic is more temperature sensitive than glass. So if you a pro, I'd stay away from Tamron. And last but not least. It's not that big of an issue in "normal" zoom lenses, but in wide zoom 16mm vs 17mm on wide end is a big deal. So considering all of the above, Tamron is not that much of a bargain. More of a trade-off.
Thanks for the review. Have you compared the new Tamron 14-24mm DG DN to the Sony G lens? Wondering how they compare considering the price tag is very similar.
Tried this and the Sigma 14-24mm Art in my local camera shop on my RIV. The Tamron doesn’t resolve 61mp very well whereas the Sigma was quite a bit sharper and its colour rendering was MUCH better. RIV/RIII shooters should look at the GM or the Sigma Art for their wide angle zoom.
Thanks for the video! Definitely been needing a ff wide angle that isn't obnoxiously expensive. I'm guessing if it balances on the Ronin SC it will balance on the Zhiyun Weebill Lab?
My dream to have Sony..but too expensive...and dont thing tamron is compromise...just same like sony ,,,difenetely make more deep review...Thanks for sharing!
Is it worth an upgrading from the 16-35 f4 if you occasionally shoot astro? I have a Samyang 14mm 2.8 for that at the moment but could sell both lenses which would cover the cost 🤔
I would buy this Tamron lens when A7Siii is out but with better color science, your video is too green and unnatural color with the A7iii, other than that love your channel and reviews

@@Rappasta Yeah I've been using the Sony 10 -18 on a A7iii, which is fiiiiine, but not really that good with f4 aperture and cropped for worse low light performance. Crazy how expensive that Sony is!
I might have to sell my 16-35 f/4! They’re practically the same price and I get an extra stop of light!
Yup. That's what I'm about to do here as well :)
Sony owns about 10percent shareholder in Tamron Company.
It is a 10% native len.
Cute little guy! He should be in more of your videos.
Been waiting for your review. Was holding out till your video
When are you coming out with the Real world test? Love the channel! I’m so interested in the tamron for a cheaper alternative to the both Sony 16-35mm ziess n Gmaster versions for real estate photography..
DP’s on big sets taught me that you rub your finger on the top of your nose for a sec, and then rub your finger on the lens ring. It’ll then go on and off like butter.
Everyone Else: Should i invest on the Sony or Tamron?
Me: Should i sell my left kidney or right kidney
Start with a kidney or 2 😄
LOL! Loved it when the little guy joined you... so authentic. Thanks for the review man! :) BTW, how's the continuous AF in 4K video compared to GM?
Hey max, I have the Tamron on the way... sometime this year I hope -.-
The only thing I don’t like about the Tamron, as you mentioned is that it’s not that wide. I don’t shoot ultra wide all that often, but if I do feel like it, I’d like to have another 2-3mms on the wide end... I was considering the sigma 14-24 f2.8.... but that leaves a gap from 24-28... I also considered the laowa 10-18, but that’s overkill. I really just wish the Tamron was 15mm or even 16 on the wide end...any suggestions?
This is the 3rd youtube I see you guys run. More to discover ...
Really well done review! Thanks so much!

Thank you so much
This seems like the best E-mount lens for vlogging. Before this I would have you'd have to go with either the Batis 18mm (a bit wide), the Sony 24 (big big/heave) or Batis 25 (getting a bit too tight). This Tamron seems to be both light and more versatile.
I wonder if the next lens in their series will be wider than 17 or longer than 75. I'm guessing something like a 75-200 or a bit shorter to make it smaller like the other two.
The full review never came out?
Thanks for the review.
when doing the video review can you touch on distortion ?
obviously the auto focus too.
any other features lost ?
Cheers
Enjoyed the video as always! Looking forward to seeing a full review from you. After my initial impressions I found that even though it's internal zoom, it throws off the balance on my weebill lab! I've also had a couple of shots come out very soft but I'm looking into that to see if that was user error.
My first 28-75 Tammy went on really tight. I got another copy and doesn't go on nearly as tight.
Hey Max- So, what's the maximum resolution of the 17-28? Sony says their GMaster lenses resolve up to 100MP. Will the Tamron fully resolve even the new 60MP A7RIV? I don't think the Sigma Art lenses will. Also noticed you didn't test out the star flares. The 11-bladed GMaster looks brilliant! 9 blades on the Tamron. I'm sure it's fine.
Doesn't look like the 1mm difference on the wide end would make much of a difference. The only thing I want to know is sun stars. Can this lens produce them?
Considering this lens but am worried about that tight fit. No one seems to be talking about this but how is it now?
I want to get the Tamron 17-28mm for canon and trade in my 16-35mm iii. Is this a good idea? The 16-35mm is too long and heavy, makes it hard to take selfies with my family and putting it on a small stabilizer.
It just occurred to me that the Tamron 17-28mm... Why not just go for a Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 + mc-11 adapter?
Thanks Max for the comparison. I really want to invest in Sony glass but can’t afford it. I’m definitely going to check out Tamron and even Sigma.
Just now watched this video. Subbed right away .
Best thing about the video
1.Baby Max 😍2. The Lens
Would love to see a comparison between the Tamron and the Laowa 15mm zero d f2
Thank u so much.
I want that lens mount as tight as possible without damaging the mount or lens, so to me that would be a positive.
I noticed the tightness when I first attached my 17-28 as well and can say after using it for 2 weeks it wasn't something that lasted too long, seems to fit like a regular lens now. The rubber gasket at the lens mount seems very high quality though. Seems very well sealed
I have the sony 16-35GM, bought it when the tamron 17-28 is not released yet, I'm thinking of selling my GM then get the 17-28 + 28-75 tamron, is it worth it? I'm only a hobbyist. I would gladly appreciate your recommendations. thanks
Thanks for your review! Furthermore, could ask you guys who has this lens did you notice that the aperture is really loud and gives quite sick noise or just mine is faulty? There is a rubbing, scratching voice when I switch on or off the camera and the aperture goes open and close. When I'm just setting the aperture only has clicking voice. I never felt/heard anything like this before from any lenses. Thanks in advance for the answers.
Nice review....but I m bit confused between Tam 17-28 and fe20 1.8g.....price r almost same.....pls advise which one is more sharper and good for filmmaking?
in your side by side @28mm f2.8, did you notice how much wider the sony is?
hm... it may be a good lens for a reception shoots with a6400 (instead sigma 18-35, that heavier and focusing not good enough )
Are you Max from Max Tech? You look exactly like him 🤔
great review !
one question : does it work with eye tracking when using it for video ?
All trackings are from body not from lenses
I shoot wide open. Slightly ever sharper at F2.8 is better for more beautiful shots. Even if it is at the cost of a few hundred bucks!
What about the new Tamron 20-40mm F2.8?
I don't know if it's your post, but colors on Tamron look considerably off. Other thing: I've heard (can't substantiate though) that Tamron uses some polycarbonate elements. There is nothing inherently wrong with that as far as light transmission, but plastic is more temperature sensitive than glass. So if you a pro, I'd stay away from Tamron. And last but not least. It's not that big of an issue in "normal" zoom lenses, but in wide zoom 16mm vs 17mm on wide end is a big deal. So considering all of the above, Tamron is not that much of a bargain. More of a trade-off.
Thanks for the review. Have you compared the new Tamron 14-24mm DG DN to the Sony G lens? Wondering how they compare considering the price tag is very similar.
Thanks, Max!
Great video. Helped a ton. Thank you!
could u do one for video too? same lenses? and how fast is AF in comparison? thans
Thank you so much for this video.
16-35 f4 used or Tamron 17-28 f2.8 new?
Tried this and the Sigma 14-24mm Art in my local camera shop on my RIV. The Tamron doesn’t resolve 61mp very well whereas the Sigma was quite a bit sharper and its colour rendering was MUCH better.
RIV/RIII shooters should look at the GM or the Sigma Art for their wide angle zoom.
Thanks buddy
Thanks for the great video!
Hi. About image quality, is the Tamron 17-28 better than the Laowa 15mm ? for panoramic pictures. Thanks :-)
great review
when you said "focus shifting" did you mean focus breathing? or is focus shifting something else?
Oh yes!
Thanks.
Great comparison, woud like to see some more autofocus testing tho
yeah more camera videos plssss
Thanks for the video! Definitely been needing a ff wide angle that isn't obnoxiously expensive. I'm guessing if it balances on the Ronin SC it will balance on the Zhiyun Weebill Lab?
Is he using A7III - not A7RIII - for the sharpness test?
My dream to have Sony..but too expensive...and dont thing tamron is compromise...just same like sony ,,,difenetely make more deep review...Thanks for sharing!
Is it worth an upgrading from the 16-35 f4 if you occasionally shoot astro? I have a Samyang 14mm 2.8 for that at the moment but could sell both lenses which would cover the cost 🤔
no. for astro you need 14mm 2,8.. best is samyang/rokinon in market. as i read, nikon 14-24 mm at 14 mm is also as good as rokinon 14mm
I am cross-shopping this VS the new sigma 14-24, and I just can't makes up my mind.
Me too it's driving me crazy!
I would buy this Tamron lens when A7Siii is out but with better color science, your video is too green and unnatural color with the A7iii, other than that love your channel and reviews
Maybe it's because he's surrounded by green and it's reflecting. Quite natural actually
