Tamron 18 300 for Sony E mount: Incredible Performance!

- The Tamron 18-300 lens For Sony APSC cameras is a fantastic lens for anyone who wants a lot of zoom range on a budget price.
After testing the 18-300mm lens for a few weeks I was impressed by the image quality in the photos, they are incredibly sharp edge to edge and very detailed. The video is excellent as well and thanks to the inclusion of VC (Vibration compensation aka optical image stabilization) your handheld shots will be much better in both photo and video modes. The auto focus motor is fast, accurate and silent. it pairs really well with the Sony zv-e10 and a6400 or a6600. I am impressed in every way by the performance of the excellent budget lens from Tamron.

I will definitely watch the behind the scenes next - glad to see you guys as friends (I've noted it before this video of course). I watch your videos because I always learn something, and even if it's not really something that I'm planning to buy or use, I learn the reasoning in your descriptions of products. I guess you teach people how to think Jake, and you are definitely helping me with that. (oh, I'm subscribed to Jeven in any case, so I'll get notified).
Thanks Kevin!
Amazing Video, and Amazing Photography Jake! Thank You For Sharing It!
Thanks so much!
Dude what!!! Jeven Dovey?? That's so awesome. I love your videos, as an Alaskan who uses APS-C cameras. I know, very specific lol.
yeah it was awesome and crazy busy to do what we wanted to do in the time we had but it was awesome to show him around Alaska for the first time! Cheers from a fellow alaskan who also shoots APSC (sometimes lol)
Enjoyed your review as always. Happy to share!
Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful area you are shooting at. Wasn't aware of that lens until I saw this video. Amazing how Tamron and Sigma makes zooms that are nearly macro lens. Their versatility is incredible along with excellent quality and a much more palatable price.
Thanks very much
Just bought it for my zve10. The video helped a lot. Thanks.
Awesome!
You jevan took me from knowing nothing about videography/photography too people asking me for tips and how did I do this or that. I just point them to your page, such good content
Wow thank you so much!! I’m always excited to hear that I’ve helped someone lol. I do really appreciate you spreading the word about my channel too! That’s truly the best compliment I could ever get
Great video, this convinced me to get one. The samples and explanations really helped. This lens can capture sharp images and the VC helps. Low light performance is what you would expect from a f/ 3.5-6.3.
Agreed and glad to hear it!
Great Review! I am a long time Sony user, I recently purchased the Sony A7RIV and the Tamron 18-300mm lens. I am extremely satisfied with the crop equivalent of 27-450 that this lens provides especially since the camera gives 26 mp with the crop. This combination of camera and lens provides a fantastic one lens travel camera kit that is relatively light.
The full frame 61MP devotees (fanatics) really don’t understand the great flexibility and quality of this combo. Having owned the A7RII and since I have the A6000 and have used the RX10IV for along time, I find that the advanced features of the A7RIV and the overall sharpness of the 18-300mm really give you an opportunity to create great images and provide advantages over other camera & lens combinations during traveling.
agreed that's a massively helpful feature of the A7r series
Love the video. Had been waiting for a solid review of this lens. Have an a6400 and was wanting to upgrade my original stock 55-210mm zoom lens. Originally looking at the Sony 70-350 as I do definitely enjoy getting into nature photography and felt the severe limits of my old lens. While I do like that extra 50 mm zoom on the 350. The fact of not having to change lens on the 18-300 sounds like a dream especially with family and travel. I'm already used to shooting on stock lens with similar apertures, but besides the freedom, this sounds like significantly better quality than what I'm working with. Thanks again.
Agreed, I also don't mind sacrificing 50mm on the tele end to have 18mm on the wide end. This lens is also a bit less expensive than the 70-350 so I'm thinking on replacing my 55-210 as well.
you're so welcome!!
I find that the Tamron 18-300 is better for a general purpose lens than the Sony 70-350, I use my 70-350 only when I need the extra 50mm reach. Prior to the introduction of the Tamron, I used the Sony 18-200, which is quite capable, but I have to change lenses when the 200mm is indequate.
Great review again Jake! I was able to take the lens for a 10 day trip to Iceland and echo your thoughts and findings. I used both the a6600 and the ZV-e10 with great results. It was so nice that not having to change lenses saved a lot of time cleaning sensors! I didn't know turning off the stabilization would get it out of the cropped mode. Thanks again. I see myself using the lens a lot next year in Alaska.
Thanks David!!!
Hey! Glad i found you as you have both the a6600 and the ZV E 10. which one do you think offers better stabilization with this lens in photos and videos? I don't mind the crop on zv though so apart from that??
Hope you answer. Thanks, in advance!!
@@efficaciousuave so far I think the a6600 has been better for me.
@@davidakoubian3025is the zv-e10 still really good for handheld video at 300mm?
Hey David do you need an adapter to fit on the 6600? I have a Sony Nex 5N but won't work... thinking of upgrading to a6000' camera asap tho if it doesn't need one
Thanks Jake, another great review! I own an A7iv, but actually researching this lens for Fuji for my kids.
nice!
Good to see you guys colab Jeven Dovey great guy awesome channel..
Nice review of the Tamron 18 300
Thanks Jake AKA The Sloan Ranger
Thank you Bob!!
First, thank you for a great review of the lens. I am not videographer, nor a Sony MILC shooter (I DO have the RX-10MkIV), and I recently branched out from my usual brands to Fujifilm, getting (but not yet delivered, thanks to logistics delays) the X-T4, along with their 18-80 lens. I decided to try Fuji or its control interface and their IBIS that is unique in an APS-C MILC at time of writing. I wanted an all-in-one unit to compliment that and the Tamron seems to have come to market at a perfect time. I don't shoot low light, and if I have to I have other units that can easily cope with that. I shot Tamron back in the early 80's when I used their SP Adaptall units with a mix of Canon A-1 and Nikon F-3 bodies, doing travel, scenic and wildlife photography, so I have a respect for their products.
The x-t4 is an excellent camera! I think if you added this lens to your setup you'd be really happy with the results
Just bought a ZV E10 yesterday and i wanted an all rounder lens for travelling.
Thanks a lot man
Nice and you’re welcome
imagine the size the lens would have to be to be a straight 3.5! Great review, thank you!
you're welcome!!
Great video 👀 Like it so much
Thx for sharing
Thanks
Thankyou, this was ready helpful
awesome
Awesome video mate!
Thanks a lot!
Great Video and Landscape
Thank you
Excellent review. I recently bought the new Sony A6700 and paired it with Sony's 70-350mm lens. While Sony's lens is excellent, I returned it after trying the Tamron 18-300, which I prefer for its comparable image quality and ability to shoot from 18-300 mm. I'm pairing it with a Sigma 10-18 mm lens to cover the entire range I'm interested in.
NICE!!
Great review Jake. Waiting for your review on sigma 18-50 2.8 for aps-c
I'll have to see if I can get that lens
Great review. Beautiful location too. I have my eyes on this lens. Not sure that it is the best option for me yet.
Thanks!
Finally someone credible reviewing this lense!
Thank you!
Don't like random new youtuber from malaysia who gets first!!!?? Kiding i get what you are saying, consistent review :D
Great Review
Thanks!
좋은 영상 잘 보고 갑니다~! 감사합니다!
Cheers
Men and wild ,Epic!
Thanks!
I'm actually super keen to get one of these
it's pretty great!
@@JakeSloan
How can I argue with that, seems like imma have to purchase one.
Others mentioned the zoom ring smoothed out over time.
Yeah I think mine has a bit now too
Thank, i always look for your(real world) & Dustin Abbots(studio) review
Glad you like them!
Helpful video thanks. Great shots! Just had ZV-E10 arrive today. Considering between this and Sony 18-135mm.
1:42am NZST 26 July 2022
Awesome
Awesome video!!!!!!!!!!!!! Soooo let me know if you ever put it for sell, I’ll be happy to take it off your hands lol :-)
LOL will do but I don't think I get to keep this one...
i was so excited when i discoverd this lens, so sad it's APS-C & not full frame. what a heart breaking rollercoaster of emotions! xD
lol sorry not sorry
Great job jake Air2 s army out
Cheers Mike!
Great review! Recently picked up a used a6500 with a zeiss 16-70 lens and now I am looking at getting a telephoto lens and I am wondering how this lens compares to the tamron 70-300. Which one do you think is the better option at mainly the telephoto range?
well the 70-300 is for full frame so it is quite a bit larger and it lacks the vibration compensation the 18-300 has which makes a pretty big difference. I would say image quality is pretty comparable with a slight edge going to the 70-300 but its very slight
Great review; surprised no one else is reviewing it! I just got it for my zv-e10, but have had some focus issues with my dog running around. Usually one of a burst of 10 shots will be properly focused. What autofocus mode/focus area were you using for the birds? Sounds like a super zoom may just not be the right tool for telephoto action though :(
I usually use center focus for shots like that gives the camera less to look for lol
Awesome! I wonder how does this Tamron compares with Fujifilm 70-300mm. Thanks!
I haven't had the chance to use that lens but it would be interesting to see!
hello great video for the lens. I just bought the zve10 for video content and planning on getting a lens to travel with. Would you suggest the 18 300 or the 17 70 to go with the zve10 for travel? the price for both lens comes about the same.
Either one will do great. The 17-70 definitely does better in low light but if you want a one lens solution for pretty much everything then the 18-300 is hard to beat.
Hi there, thanks for the great review! I recently got a full-frame camera (Sony a7c) and am looking for an all-in-one lens just like this one to travel with. Is this one compatible with full-frame? Or is there a full-frame equivalent that you recommend? Thanks a bunch!!
This one is not. Look at the Tamron 28-200 for what you need
Awesome review. How would you rate it for video? The other question is do you use it with ND filters for video during the day and which one would you recommend (I shoot between 09:00 and 16:00 in bright sunlight to give you an idea). How would this compare to the Sony 18-135 for APSC (I have the a6600).
Thank you, I usually just use my Freewell variable ND 2-5 stop
Tripods lots of tripods! That's how you made the video 😂
Sooo many tripods!!!
Do you have experience with indoors or lower light? Hoping to also use this to photograph indoor sports events or in places like museums etc. outside looks great of course but wanted to learn the other side. Cheers
some of this was in quite low light (before sunrise) and It works well overall but you definitely start to push the ISO
Amazing video! thinking of buying this lens for a6400. Given a6400 doesn't have stabilisation, will this lens combine well?
Yes it will
Wanting to get this for my a6000. My boys play little league baseball this spring and I want good photos of them out in the field... would you say this is a good option for games? What do you suggest?
This would be a great option for that
Very good :)
It is a pity that the anti-vibration can not be removed via a switch
Agreed! Maybe in version 2
Give the music link that has been used in this video
It's from artist, and there is a link in the description to artist but not these songs specifically. first song is Helios by Michael FK. The second song is Blue Rise by Oliver Michael
What body gives better stabilization with this lens? The V E 10 which you have or the Sony a6600? Which would you recommend for more stable shots and videos, especially at 300mm??
Thanks for the video. Highly informative. The places you went to looked beautiful in 4k.
The a6600 will since it has inbody stabilization as well
@@JakeSloan Thanksfor your response ! Slowly with each new video on TH-cam my faith in a6600 is increasing even though the zv e10 is new and cheaper.
Do you recommend this lens as a allrounder traveling lens for landscape, portrait and wildlife for my Sony zv e10
absolutely
Please suggest a good mount ring for using with tripods.
I have been testing a few coming soon ish
Jake: Excellent review, thanks. Which lens would you say is better for run and gun video on an A7c, this lens in apsc mode because of its VC stabilization, or the 28-200? I know this one would provide a longer maximum focal length, but is the VC worth it? I dont have a problem shooting apsc video out doors. Im interested in the one that would provide the smoothest video racked out on the long end. Thanks!
I would stick with the 28-200 so you get the full resolution of your sensor.
@@JakeSloan Thanks Jake. I'm primarily interested in video and I've never seen much difference in good light between FF and APSC 4K. On the other hand, I've noticed a whole lot of difference in the steadiness of the footage at the longer lengths when the lens has some form of OSS or VC compared to one that doesn't. Still deliberating:-)
question, how do you switch from autofocus to manual focus without the bottom on the lens?
I program a button on the camera
Is it good to use with Sony fx3 for filming at low light conditions??
no this is an APSC lens not for full frame
Teacher, may I ask, I currently use x-t4, the lenses are xf16, xf56, xf70-300, I am sure to buy tamron 150-500mm, but I also like tamron 17-70 and tamron 18-300, if it is you , tamron 17-70, tamron 18-300, xf70-300, these three lenses, choose two or one, how would you choose, can you give me a reference??? Thank you
I wouod get the 18-300 if only one the 17-70 and 70-300 if buying 2
I think it will be great with my sony a6400 for outdoor sports in daylight. Indoor sports I don't think it's gonna work well even though sony a6400 has a good high iso performance
Yeah you are probably right
Thanks for your review!
I already bought the tamron 17-70, but could still send it back and get the 18-300. However instead of sending it back, I'm considering getting the sony 70-350mm and keep the tamron 17-70. that would of course be more expensive but many say the sony would be the better lens and that the combo of these two would be nice. Now im thinking if this is worth 700€.
what would you recommend?
I think that would be a fantastic setup with those two lenses!
@@JakeSloan thank you!
Will work for the a6000? Thinking in getting it but not so sure about it yet.
yep will work great for the a6000
Im considering to buy this lens. Its going to be my first telephoto. I have an a6400 with the kit lens 16-50. I like lanscape and animal photograpy. And Im between the sony 18-135 and this tamron 18-300.
Which one could be better for my camera?
Thanks!
definitely get the 18-300 if you plan to do wildlife
hi , please tell me how to turn on vc function of (Tamron 18 300 ) with zv-e10.
It is on if the camera has stabilization turned on.
@@JakeSloan Thanks Jake, I have found it.
How stabilization in this lens is compared to OSS in Sony's lenses?
It’s quite good but not quite as good as Sonys native lenses
Hey Jake can you please suggest which is better telephoto zoom lens specially for videography Tamron 18 - 300 or Tamron 70 - 300 with Sony ZV e 10 ? I just want telephoto zoom lens ( autofocus, sharpness, clarity etc. )..
well the 70-300 is for full frame so it is quite a bit larger and it lacks the vibration compensation the 18-300 has which makes a pretty big difference. I would say image quality is pretty comparable with a slight edge going to the 70-300 but its very slight in this case for video I would definitely go with the 18-300 due to the vibration compensation
@@JakeSloan Okay... Thank you so much Jake ..
how do this lens compare to the sony 70-350mm,
I haven’t used that lens so I can’t say
I am also wondering it! It seems that everyone is asking about the comparison to the 70-350 Sony G, but there is no comparison out yet.
I'm thinking of buying the tamron if there would be a comparison and it will turn out that the sharpness and image quality would be the same with that of the sony 70-350, since the tamron is $300 cheaper
I own Sony A6600 camera and am trying to decide between Tamron 28-200 and Tamron 18-300. I need a lens for travel and outdoor shots. I need a fast auto focus. Any recommendations between two?
For the a6600 I would definitely go for the 18-300. With the vibration compensation it really helps a lot.
@@JakeSloan Thank You
How about the Sony 70-350mm?
I haven't had a chance to review that yet
how would you say this compares to their 28-200 for full frame ? thanks
very good if you shoot apsc for sure
a7c+ Tamron AF 18-300mm what u think jake?
GREAT combo
Will it work with the A7iii/A7riii?
Yes I’m APSC mode
Do you think is it worth the price difference to get the 70-350? There's much difference about focus and stability? I know is 6.3 at 350mm focal length.
Great review!
If you have a lens that covers the 18-70 then sure but this lens is a solid performer
I wonder what this could do regarding astrophotography.....I'm looking for something I can do wide Milky Way shots and then zoom in on some deep space targets. Instead of running around with 2/3 different lenses.
it could definitely work for it, the trouble you would run into is getting enough light to the sensor and keeping your shutter speed short enough to not blur stars as you zoom in
@@JakeSloan I got a star tracker so the f stop really isn't that important.
Does tamron 18-300 work for sony m4 full frame body
yes but it is an APSC lens so you won't get the whole sensor
ZV e 10 has Oss build in ??
No but it does have electronic stabilization built in
Is the lens compatible with the Sony A5000?
Yes it is
Will this fit in a A7iii
It will but only using APSC mode. Look at the 28-200 from tamron instead
does it work with full frame camera???
it will on sony full frame but you will need to put the camera in APSC mode
I mean its outdoor lens. You should not film indoors with this (unless you have strong lights, which is probably isn't the case if you buy all in one (since its cheaper and too comfortable)). This lens reminds me all in one camera with power zoom i used back in 2016, but I think it was even more zoomy 28-750mm, but it was crap at 750 ngl
Wow
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you
Does this lens function with a full frame Sony? Does it give 18-300 ?
On a sony full Frame it will crop in and you will get the same field of view as a 27mm-450mm lens
@@JakeSloan Thanks, Jake, one further query......does that mean I have to set my Sony Full frame to crop mode to use this lens? Great video , by the way. Thanks.
exactly right, it might be set to do it automatically but you will need to use crop mode to avoid vignetting! Cheers
Can you use this lens with full frame body show wide and zoom results bro. I am planning to buy this all in one lens full frame body Sony a9 camera. Can you give your valuable feedback. Thank you.
Full frame?
APSC
what type sony did u use, full frame APS-c
for this was APSC
What camera is that there?
This is the Sony vz-e10
I love youly photographer and photos🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thank you
Hi
Cheers
zve10 sucks, its an a6400 without the evf price wise
