Would you pick Sigma or Tamron? Or maybe something else?
#sigma1850f28 #tamron1770f28 #sigma1850mmf28
Sigma in my opinion :)
Can you make a review about Viltrox 75mm f1.2 pro
Sigma
Tamron for a6400
Guess It all depends on what you do and what you have lacked certain times. I thought about these two for 5 months and yesterday I ordered the tamron. Today I found your video and feel great about my decision. Thanks for this incredible video.
I was sure I was gonna get the Tamron 17-70 but after watching this, I realize the Sigma fits my needs more and opens up possibilities with such a tiny size and weight. Thanks for making this thoughtful comparison!
Welcome) stay tuned)
Replaced my old faithful Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 yesterday for the Sony 16-55mm f2.8. But i have good memories of my old Sigma lens, it served me very well. When watching this video i remember why i personally only use the lenses of two manufactors on my Sony A6700...Sony and Sigma!
As someone who owns the Tamron 17-70, I would agree that the VC issues needs sorting, however I still think it's better on than off. I also think having the extra range without too many optical compromises is a good way to think about it, if you don't mind the size. I would definitely like to see Tamron fix the VC issues and manual focus, even if they need to release a mkii version as I do think this is a great lens otherwise.
thank you for this detailed review!
it's one of the best reviews I have seen, thank you so much.
Thanks mate) stay tuned!
This is such a complete comparison, that's what we are talking about! loved it 🤌👌👏
Thanks a lot mate)) stay tuned!
best comparison review I've ever seen, congratulations for all the detailed knowledge you have, it made a total difference in my choice
Thanks mate)) appreciate it! Stay tuned😎
This the best comparison I have seen. Great video.
Glad you liked it! Stay tuned!
I have the 18/50 I shoot video And photo , my go to prime lens is the sigma 30mm 1.4 and this is a really good lens to me ! Maybe the 17/70 is more versatile but the sigma is light and small. Really good lens
Thank you very much! Very clear explanation for me as a newbie 👏✨
Thanks a lot 😉
Perfect video! Thx!
Great review, thank you so much.
Welcome) stay tuned)
After watching many these two lens comparisson , and asking what i really need myself, i decided to bought Tamron and no regret.
Yes it is bigger and heavier
But im ok with that
Im more lean to videography, so, here are the advantages in my opinion:
17mm and 70mm range (it helps when u are run and gun shooter).
VC
Great AF
Great image quality.
Cheers
Thank you for the comparison. I brought the sigma with 6700 to Japan last month, its a beast!
Thanks mate) stay tuned!
This seems like a nice and high quality breakdown! (I skipped through some of it - I already made my decision, and wanted to share some thoughts 😅)
I use the Tamron 17-70 for photo and video on the ZV-E10. It's the lens that's usually on the camera, and I've had a flawless experience with it.
When I debated which one to pick, it looked like I slightly preferred the Tamron because of the extra focal range and image stabilization (advantages I would mainly use for video - if I didn't do video I would've slightly preferred the Sigma). I knew I was willing to work with the extra weight and size for those advantages, but I could've gone with either. I buy all my lenses used, the price between these two was about equal, so that wasn't a deciding factor. I could've gone with either, but I ended up with a decent deal on the Tamron, and I certainly don't regret it.
I think most people will be happy with either - they both seem like incredible kit-lens replacements.
Great review! love the comparissons made. I'm still somewhat undecided on which one to get but I'm leaning towards the Sigma for the Fuji X Mount. Also it would be hilarious to see people's faces passing by watching you thrust your hand up like that to a camera
😂😂thanks mate) it’s just a test) sigma is great, you won’t regret buying it
Probably the best comparison between exactly this two lenses. Thanks!
Thanks, stay tuned)
agree!❤
appreciate the time you put into it. great video indeed
Thanks mate) stay tuned)
Excellent review! Got my questions on Tamron answered: VC fights with IBIS, lose focus when zooming quickly. Thank you.
Welcome 😉 stay tuned!
@@NOlimitsONso, for a6700 thst has Ibis, i should choose sigma over tamron?
you mean between vc and ibis, only one can works at one time ?
Get Sigma for :-
1. Lighter Weight
2. Smaller Size
3. Lower Price
Get the Tamron for :-
1. Weather Sealing
2. Optical Stabilisation
3. Broader Focal Range, 1mm extra on the wide end and 20mm extra on the telephoto end.
But is the optical stabilisation working correctly with the body?
decided to go with tamaron with one prime lense with focal lense i’ll use often for light weight!
Thanks for the video! Most detail review about these beasts
Thanks) stay tuned!
nice vid!!! thanks
适马1850真的很轻便很好用，可惜前些天我在机场弄丢了。最近准备再买一个，结果发现比去年涨价了很多！
Thank you for making this video. You just ended my camera+lens crisis. I will choose to buy a6700 along with sigma 18-50mm instead of a7cii and Sony fe 24-50mm. Saves me a hundred bucks
Welcome mate) stay tuned)
Most honest review out there 😬 very pro thx
Thanks mate) stay tuned)
big thank you for this detailed test video, I couldn't decide between the two lenses, but you helped me and I choose sigma for my a6400 👏👏👏 greatest comparison
Welcome))
@@NOlimitsON which one do you prefer for a6400?, Tamron 17-70 F2.8 Di III-A VC RXD or sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 sony-e?, (image quality first!)
I got the Tamron for my ZV-E10, just because of the VC & I am happy about this combination
Was the stabilization a huge deal as this guy makes it out to be?
I have the same set up. I love that lens. I’ve been able to take some really great pictures.
I wish the sigma had weather sealing :( that’s so important for me… I’ll just go for the Tamron when I have the money
That shot at 0:55 is what earned the like. That's EXACTLY what i've been wondering.
Edit: The whole video is great btw, that shot of the size comparison is just what I've been looking for for weeks and you're the first to show it.
Welcome mate) stay tuned))
Though the price is absolutely outrageous I went for the Sony 16-55 f2.8 for my FX30.
Wanted to be able to travel with a single lens that was good for vloging and had some range on it too.
It is an absolutely great lens and all the features make it a fantastic partner for the FX30... but wow even used that price tag was still a lot!
Hi, after 2 month, would you still recommend the 16 - 55 for the fx30, did you look at the 16-35 pz? Cheers!
@@kalkydra I still really enjoy the Sony 16-55 f.28 on my FX30. I will be taking as my only lens on a month long trip to Asia. I wanted the more of a zoom range and I will be shooting a fair bit in low light so that f4.0 wouldn't really work for me. Also as much as I'm still a novice, I prefer the look of my manual zooms.
I don't know other people's circumstance so I am not into saying one or the other. But between the two I would ask the questions that pertain to what you can afford, if it is for fun more than earning an income, what will your lighting situation be and will you make use of power zoom? Once you have reconciled your answers then the facts should dictate your choice.
Superb Video 🔥💯
Planing to buy my first cam so I'm super confused & excited at the same time😂
Thanks mate)) I appreciate it!
I definitely prefer the Tamron. With the Sigma i could not reproduce the same image quality. Maybe i had a bad lens, but for me Tamron was a bit sharper in my private test comparison. I dont like the fact that Tamron it is much bigger and heavier, but quality, stabilisation and more range makes up for that and brings more versatility for me.
Great comparison
Thanks) stay tuned)
I can only recommend the Tamron 17-70mm it’s an amazing lense and takes beautiful pictures! Its size didn’t bother me at all!
Thank you bro 👍
Welcome))
Excelente vídeo. Enhorabuena. El mejor vídeo que he visto, y vi muchas comparativas de estos dos objetivos porque quiero comprar uno de los dos y la Fuji X-S20. Ahora tengo una duda, ¿tendrá problemas el estabilizador del Tamron 17-70 con la Fuji X-S20 que también tiene estabilizador? Un cordial saludo.
Thanks a lot) you gotta test it first… I’m not sure
Is The 20mm Addition really matter and I don’t mind the weight ,I’m planning on buying The A6700 within June and thought of buying the 18-135 but thought it would be better to get prime lens for bokeh and low light, Btw it’s my first camera & lens.
Thanks for your work. Good review and video. One question is bugging me. I saw lot of people complain about the IBIS and VC fighting each other and not being really compatible in the Tamron 17-70. Sometimes the video shakes or flick in a very anoying way and you can't disable only VC. Did you found those issues in your video testing? Thanks!
Thanks mate) as you saw from my video - the issue is still there and it’s not working as it’s supposed to… hopefully one day Tamron releases the firmware 😅
Great!!😊😊
Big thanks for your comparison that’s a big help. One question, I have the Sony a7c. Which one do you suggest to go with ? Mainly for video. Thanks 😊
Well, why do you need a crop-lens for a full frame camera?)) I'd suggest Sony 24-105mm f4 OSS for video work with A7c
Curious about low light performance of the Sigma. How is it at 2.8?
It depends on the camera body, not the lens) f2.8 is f2.8, it’s fine for most cases
Nice review! Should I be worried about no stabilization on the Sigma on the 6100 for photography? With a fast enough
shutter speed in mind of course
Thanks) no, I think for photos you’ll be fine with sigma)
without stabilization, at 50 mm and a little dark you will feel the difference.
Own the tamron pairing with my A6000. I've stop bringing out my prime lenses since then.
So stabilization is good?
@@ChrisParayno yes, very useful for video shots at long end
Great video! I just bought my first camera, canon eos r50 and I was in between buying either one of these lenses. Then I noticed canon eos r50 was not listed in either brand's website. I thought using an ef to rf adapter would work for any brand but is there something I am missing? Or can I just buy one appropriate adapter and then use the lens, that's it? If that's the case would it matter what kind of mount the lens has?(considering there are variations for different bodies)
Hey) as far as I know - canon’s RF Mount is locked to almost exclusively canon own lenses. There are some third party options, but not a lot… so you’d better check the list of compatible lenses on the website
hello, tell me how do you set the colors in fx30?

@@NOlimitsON ❤️
Man I wished the Sigma had weather sealing, it would be the perfect lens 😅
I'll take the tamaron
This was a review of Tamron 8 days ago. DOn't they have a firmware update about the shakiness or jumping?
As far as i know - no
I bought the tamron few months ago. The autofocus + zoom on my sony fx30 is terrible, unusable. If you use it fixed all good, as soon as you touch the zoom it destroy the image. For most of the people it's a minor problem but it's there. Never had the same problem with a sony lens.
Great sharing!
To me, extra focal length is more important. Bear ib mind that when compare to Siny 24-105 F4 lens. The weight of Tamron is nothing😊
Thanks) stay tuned)
in regards to the lenses of the video. For the sony zv-e10 which combo is better? Combo 01: Sigma + gimbal vs Combo 02: Tamron
Combo 1
I have a6600 which one should I go for? I generally do photography but I’m concerned about weather sealing too
I’d go for the Tamron in your case
Are they both quite when zooming in? I'm new to cameras and recently got the ZV-E10 with the kit lens. The kit lens it pretty loud when zooming, my mic pics it up pretty clearly.
Internal mic will pick up the zooming if you do it super fast
30mm ff equivalent makes a huge difference tho
so.. with a zv e10 with electronic stabilizer which of the 2 is better to use for photos? and which one for videos?
Tamron
both lenses are good also for landscape and portrait? i have sony a6600. I'm very undecided between these 2 lenses, I'm interested in the 20mm more than the Tamron but the dimensions hold me back a bit
Both are good for landscape and portraits. I’d go for Tamron
@@NOlimitsONthx man! More and more confused
which one would you prefer for sony a6700? Primarily for video
18-50
I have a zv10, the main use is online streaming on Facebook at a fixed distance of 10 meters or a little less. What would you recommend me? Thank you very much in advance
Hey) I’d get Tamron 17-70 in this case. The extra reach is very handy in your case
I have an a6000 without built in stabilization. Would you still recommend the Sigma still if I'm primarily using it for photography?
Yes
@@NOlimitsON Thanks bro!
It is the first time that I hear the tamrons vc would not work combined with ibis of a camera. Most TH-camrs say both gets combined? Can anyone in the comments advise further please?
Should I use the tamron or sigma primes for videos with the a6700?
I’d go for sigma with a6700
Fantastic video with excellent examples on the stabilization, only video I have seen address this. Would you go for the sony 16-55 2.8 instead of the sigma?
Thanks a lot! The 16-55 2.8 is simply too expensive in my opinion… I don’t think it’s worth almost 2.5x the price over sigma to be honest.
What do you think of tamron 17-70 with my a6700? I’m leaning more towards the tamron because of the weather seal. Need your help and opinion bro. Thanks
If you do mostly photos - that’s a good option)
@@NOlimitsON thank you so much, but if i want to take videos i should go sigma? Subbed to your great channel!
Hello everyone!! im new to camera gear. im wondering if i should get the sigma one if im shooting with a6700. i was wanting to do stills and cinematic video at the gym. also should i get a 30mm prime from sigma too? or this zoom lens? send help!!! ty
I’d go for sigma 18-50mm f2.8 first and then get 30mm f1.4 in addition
Qual você recomenda para a Sony ZV E10?
The Tamron
Would a Sony a6400 with the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 and a Gimbal be better than a a6400 with the Tamron 17-70mm f2.8 without Gimbal for both Photography and Videography?
I'd say for video - yes and for photos - no)
I got my Tamron 17-70 f2.8 for $612 but I would've gotten the sigma 18-50 if I didn't get a good deal
Do you know how the Tamron will do on the sony zv-e1 in terms of stabilization? I shoot mostly videos and dont want the lens to mess up the AI stabilization that sony zv-e1 has...
Why don’t you get a full frame lens for this cam?
Not sure… didn’t test it…
@@NOlimitsON ok, thanks! Great video 👍
@@mac24x7 I am I'm reviewing various options right now, do you have any tips on full-frame lens? 😍 The ideal would be one that can be used to film oneself (vlogg) but also zoom in to capture fish rising. 😅
What do you think of the 18-135mm from Sony? with variable f stops
It’s fine, but the variable aperture is a pain for video, so wouldn’t consider it
Is the tamron 17-70mm will be available to rf soon? Any news?
I guess no
Hello , I just got an opportunity to work for our city council as a photographer , I have a 6400 and im in a bit of a problem , what should I choose beewtween the tamaron 17-70 f2.8 or sigma 18-50 f2.8 , for event photography ( people manly ) outside and inside
I’d go for Tamron for this
I'm still thinking. I have a Sony zv-e10 with a kitlens, but the image quality could be better that's why I'm looking y new one. I checked this tamron, but now im not sure because of the size. Someone else using the tamron with a zve10?
Tamron is a good step up from a kit lens. The size is pretty manageable
@@NOlimitsON Thank you, I'm 90% sure in the Tamron now :D
very tough. i like the extra zoom which i could use, i like the VC (not that it doenst work proper), i dislike the extra length. Overal the sigma seems like a better quality lens in results. But for video, the extra zoom/VC is naice.... but i mainly use gimbal or tripod.... so i guess i like the lighter version/quality of sigma better and i guess i can live without the extra zoom. also that tamron goes a bit wider is naice for video... even do its just a little, everybit is naice. men, tought choice.
it is) In your case Sigma seems like a better option
I own the Tamron 17-70 and it's currently paired with my A6700. I mainly do photography. Do you think the VC in the Tamron combined with the IBIS in the A6700 is effective for stills? I guess it's something I'll have to test 😤
You’d better test it yourself… I think it does work, but it’s a minor improvement
@@NOlimitsON Thanks for the feedback!
@@DIGITALMIND63 I have a ZV-E10 and was looking for a lens between the Sigma and the Tamron. I plan on upgrading to a A6700 later on and do you think the Tamron works well with the A6700?
The Sigma is around $200 cheaper than the Tamron so its a pretty hefty difference.
@@dingleberry1242 I am primarily a photographer. For my use the Tamron works flawlessly. The extra reach at 70mm is important to me. Despite some TH-camr's claiming the images are a bit soft at 70mm, that is not the case for my copy. I can tell you that the Tamron is a significantly larger lens than the Sigma. Something to keep in mind if you want to keep your setup compact. If you don't need the extra reach I'd go with the Sigma 18-50. I just bought the Sigma for my daughter and I had a chance to test it out. It's a superb lens. Hope this helps.
@@DIGITALMIND63 Thanks for the reply! I prefer longer focal lengths during my time with the kit lens to avoid having to be up close to someone like in an event or something. I hope the jerky movement of the Tamron's stabilization gets fixed as the movement is too unnatural in my opinion
Can you use any focal length from sigma 18 to 50mm f2.8 without rebalancing?
Yes, it’s super lightweight
Which one can you recommend for xt20? Thanks
I’d go for Tamron
A6400/6100 with sigma good ? If no videography.. only photography??
Very good)
Can we use catalyst browse with footage shot with active steady shot enabled?
Not really…
@@NOlimitsON hey, we can. I checked. But I found the best output comes from standard steady shot plus catalyst browse.
@@zakiradi450Because the change Active SteadyShot does is digital and the Standard is when the attached lens has some sort of stabilization.
Active kinda breaks catalyst browse and works best when there is no change done in the footage afaik
@@dingleberry1242 yes. Agreed. Earlier u couldn't edit even standard steady shot footage in catalyst browse. So I was forced to use a gimbal. Now I do some jobs with just standard steady and catalyst.
Awesome. Biggest concern is the color shift of tamron. Very unpleasant
You can adjust it in camera with white balance or in post in one click) it’s not an issue)
what would u pick 4 Sony zv10 ?
Tamron
Would you buy a 18-135 Kitlens for 303$ or tamron 17-70 2.8 at 606$?
Hmmmm… depends on my needs. For my use case I’d still get the Tamron
Sucks the Tamron loses focus when zooming.. like.. all focus is focus by wire and the lens obviously knows its own characteristics and how the focus shifts between focal lengths and how to correct it so it's sorta inexcusable it doesn't like are they just relying on the camera itself to AF-C as you zoom? Lazy. Fix the lens firmware.
i have sony a6700, but i still can not choose the best zoom lens for my camera, anyone can suggest me to take sigma 18-50 or tamron 17-70?
Bro, if you still can’t decide after watching this video - go for the sigma (cheaper, smaller)
a6700 sigma & tamron 24-105 wich best
There is no Tamron 24-105 lens mate 😅
Best all-round lenses for aps-c, suggest me one lenses full confusion in my mind 😢
😅 go for the Sigma if you have a stabilized sensor in camera, mate)
Hey , you didn’t reply to my last msg regarding it , what would you suggest ?
Could you please repeat the question? Can’t find your comment
@@NOlimitsON
I asked whether the 20mm extra worth it , cause it’s my first lens for my first cam a6700 , I’m still new to photography but thought it would look great for bokeh , I also had a plan to buy 70-350 for finding my point in photography.
Or Would you suggest to buy the sigma and save for the 70-350 . Cause it’s around 70$ between the sigma and tamron . I don’t mind the size or weight.
As a professional what would you suggest !
@@s.sakthivel6910 Yes, I'd say go for Sigma 18-50mm + 70-350 lens)) To me it seems like a better choice than a single tamron lens
Still in confusion 😔.. i have a6400.. tamron is good but still sigma is catching my eye.. what to do.. pls suggest..
I’d go for Tamron, because a6400 doesn’t have image stabilization built in
@@NOlimitsON what about image quality?? I use it for only photography
@@mallikarjunm1912 really comparable image quality. Tamron is just more versatile
Sigma wins hands down with its size alone.

Please suggest me, its very crucial for me!!
I’d go for the Tamron in your case
Si van a comprar lentes no compren lentes apsc compren lentes full frame. Si algun dia quieren cambiar no tienen q gastar en lentes.

18-105mm Sony
17-70 Sigma

When you compare with full frame, u should have compared with F4.
Did I even compare with full frame in this video?😅
So sorry!! That tamron is APSC! 😢 damn!
Just saw the whole video. So sorry, based on tamron size I just assumed it's full frame. Great detailed video.
Went and watch this vid but there's no 70mm in the sharpness test for tamron.
It’s as sharp as the 50mm, don’t worry 😉
Great effort, but a bit too long
I love detailed videos and they can’t be short 😉
@@NOlimitsON keep up the good work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yes, Sony does it on purpose

You know what? Don't buy neither, go for an Arri Alexa
? You ok?)))
bro dont do that autofocus test in germany
Cmon, a lot of TH-camrs do such a test, it’s not even close to the movement you’re trying to joke around)
