Tamron 28-200. I love that lens, good for travel and last guy who tested this Tamron lens out didn't even mention it. I love the variation in Tamron lens. Really great ones, I have several.
Magnificent scenery, what a fantastic way to review a lens. Thanks so much for sharing Jake!
My pleasure and I am glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, Jake! Looks like a pretty decent lense, wonderful scenery!
It really is!
Great video and review of this monster of a lens
Thanks! 👍
Looks like another winner by Tamron, but it won't replace my Tamron 50-400 or 28-200. Every fall I go long-distance hiking (also north of the polar circle, but in Lapland/Sweden) far away from all the marked trails and other traces of civilization. Backpack is super heavy with all the food, tent, sleeping gear and all the other stuff I need to stay out there for a couple of weeks. I don't think there's a better option than the Tamron 28-200 when you want max versatility, great IQ, while also keeping the weight of your pack down by bringing a single lens only. If I absolutely need to go wider than 28mm, and can't really "zoom out with me feet", I often get away with doing a pano and I only really feel limited by 200mm (vs 300-400). I can crop in post (42mp Sony A7RIII) to get a little beyond 200mm and still maintain great IQ. With that single lens I can shoot 99% of all the shots I want for landscape photography with satisfying results. I watched your video on the 28-200 before I got it, and it hasn't disappointed. Thank you for sharing great content! Love the channel and the hiking focus.
100% spot on!
I am hoping that this lens will be available for the Nikon Z system. I own the current 70-300mm Tamron, but I like the improvements in this new lens. 300mm in crop mode is great for large animals. I created some good images of Alaskan brown bears at coastal Katmai National Park with my Z7II in crop mode with my Nikon 70-300mm lens with the Ftz adapter two years ago. This is a smart way to travel without the expense and bulk of the long telephoto primes.
I hope so too!
@@JakeSloan This would also be a good lens for whale watching on a boat.
Thank you for helping me start my photography journey
My pleasure 😊
Great review, and I appreciate you sharing your experience overall. I've been looking adding adding this lens to my collection to compliment my Sigma 150-600 and also to address the complaints from my arms while carrying it.
Im seriously liking the overall versatily of it with the 50mm focal length as well as the macro capabilities. I use my equimpent in similar environments, and this seems like it would fit well with what i do as well as fit into my shoulder bag.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing! I have an a7c and was thinking about selling my 70-180g2 to get some more reach and the near macro capabilities and grabbing another prime to go along with it. I dont often need the 2.8 but still worry about giving it up lol.
Sounds like a good plan!
Quality content as usual. Ill have to look into this lense, but am probably more looking for even further zoom (eyeing the Sony 200-600). Also know now I need to get up to Hatcher's for some shots.
Thanks Keith and I think the 200-600 is fantastic as well just a lot bigger and heavier, if you plan to hike around hatcher with it lol
Is it worth replacing the older Tamron 70-300 with this lens for photos? I use the Sony a6700 and the a7c which both have built in stabilization . Would I see a noticeable increase in the Image Quality compared to the 70- 300 considering the slightly dimmer apertures of the newer lens. Thanks!
I think if you already have the 70-300 you won't see enough of an improvement to upgrade
@@JakeSloan Thank you for your honest opinion,Jake. I was excited for the lens at first ( especially for the zoom lock which is sorely missing on the 70-300) but the reviews have been scarce ( except in German) and mainly lacklustre. I do like the 70-300 on the a6700 as it is such a good performer especially for its price and size.
Do you think It would be worth trading my sony 70-200 f4 on this
I don't see enough benefit to trade lenses in your case.
Tamron should make a FF Manual Only 400mm 5.6 Lens for around $500.
That would be amazing!!
Tamron isn't a primes company though (for full frame). Among their 16 FF lenses, they do only three 3 primes, and those are in the "small and cheap" department: the 20/24/35mm, each F/2.8.
Tamron seems very commercial, they only do lenses which they expect to sell a lot.
Sigma focuses much more also on primes. Actually they have a 500mm F/5.6. That might not leave much room for a 400mm F/5.6 somewhere else?
