    I just did a comparable yesterday with the G1 I own and G2 I borrowed to compare, image quality is the same, so I'm satisfied to keep my G1 and invest in something else I really need

      I don’t currently have any lenses for these focal lengths and I can’t figure out which lens is better to buy. So you can avoid overpaying for the second generation?

    I own the old G1 and have no problem at all turning the hood around. It sits very good to travel. No reason for me to change it to the G2.

    Just a quick price update, the G2 is at Tristate Camera New York for $828 USA for Canon mount, $855 for Nikon mount. Both are brand new lens.

      For the U.S. version? Beware of the International model pricing. It's easy to find them for $700-900, but often they are not U.S. version, which means, no Tamron warranty, and worse, if it breaks, Tamron will not repair it even if you pay them.

      @@Antonpug Did not know that, thanks for the heads up, will consider that for sure. If you called them and asked them, do you think they would tell you the truth? Have you ever had dealings with Tristate? Perhaps dealing with B&H photo might be a better option.

      @@johntinker3457 I haven't bought anything from Tri-State before, but I've seen their offerings and they appeared to be black market. If you ask, usually the vendor will disclose whether it's a U.S. item or black market. I've previously had issues though where I've bought items even from "reputable" merchants like Abe's of Maine and they turned out to be black market. Usually, if it's a new item and the price seems too good to be true, it probably is :)

    I don't do much photography anymore and I think the G1 is fine. But I agree that the G2's build quality is a big deal. You mentioned the focusing noise. That could be a deal breaker for those shooting in quiet environments or for run-and-gun videographers. Right now in 2024, you're looking at $429 vs $750.

    Thank you for a very helpful review. I own the G1 version, and absolutely love it, and would have no wish to change it, particularly given your comparison. Unfortunately, the G1 version doesn't work with the Nikon Z FTZ adapter. There's not even a firmware update option from the Tamron Service Centre like one of their other G1 (15-30 f/2.8) lenses that I also own. So unfortunately it looks like I'll be selling it and buying a used G2 version.

    • @mixesbyfirmament

    Would also be interesting, on which kind of camera you tested the Lenses, there is definitely a difference in optical Performance, if you use a Camera with a 16mp Sensor then a Camera with a 45mp Sensor. Or a camera with a Full Frame sonsor then a Camera with Cropped Sensor. - I Tested the Tamron 24-70 2.8 AF without own motor against the Tamron 24-70 2.8 g1 On a Nikon d7000 and a Nikon d850. - On the Nikon d7000 with 16mp there was absolute no difference. on the Nikon d850 with 45mp it was like Night and Day ..

  • @JuustJayden
    @JuustJayden 4 года назад +2

    I wish you would show more comparison images especially since everyone says G1 is soft 2.8 until f/5 onwards vs G1 being sharp throughout all focal lengths. That would have been more useful imo.
    Thanks though

    • @Antonpug
      @Antonpug  4 года назад +4

      I haven't noticed that, not under normal conditions. If you're pixel-peeping, *maybe* there is some softness, but overall, the image quality is very, very similar.
