Yes, definitely do a Sony 10-18 vs the Tamron 11-20 comparison!
I don't even think it needs a comparison. They're in different leagues.
@@professionalpotato4764 yeah agreed i got the 10-18 starting out and i barely used it.. image quality and sharpness is quite bad considering the pricetag and an f4 for crop sensor cameras also get’s to its limit quite quickly once the sun is gone..
sold it and got the sigma 16mm 1.4 instead btw which i got for about half the price used and is so much better
I had the 10-18 and sold it too. We kept waiting for this tamron lens but it came too late, i already upgraded to full frame
@@kiliansalomon507 in theory, 1 stop different is not too matter. With landscape and architecture photo you stop down aperture anyway. PP buy kind these lens for landscape and architecture mostly. They (include me) want to see the different of sharpness.
A nine year old "second rate" Sony apsc lens.
Sony really treats its large apsc owner base like dirt.
This Tamron len has received universally rave reviews.
this lens is too expensive. Like you said, it should have been around $650. APSC lenses are supposed to be cheaper than full frame lenses but it’s as expensive as full frame 17-28 f2.8.
ive been waiting for this video lol
Its cool to see so many lenses for Sony APSC cameras, remember when lack of lenses was a negative for that system! Most competition review, as usual, thanks.
Don't thank Sony!!!
Sony,for years', treated it's large apsc owner base with contempt.
It was,initially, left to Sigma- with it's legendary "trio"- to fill the gap.
Now, Tamron has come to the party with high quality zooms.
Samyang has provided quality, initially manual focus, primes for some time.
@@robertcudlipp3426 and now the 12mm with AF. Great time to be an apsc owner. Agree with you though....their last apsc lens from Sony was 2 years ago. The only upper hand Sony had with their lenses it seems was autofocus but this and the samyang seem up to par.
👏🎈ol 👏
oi
No OSS
It seems as though no one is coming out with a bad lens anymore. Tamron and Sigma seem to be getting all my cash.
Haha - definitely a lot of good lenses in the last few months. It's a good problem to have.
Sony is hell bent on not taking anyone's money. It's like they go out of their way to make either cheap, bad lens with a poor seleciton, or put a Zeiss name on it and make it more expensive than equally good Sigmas. And then there's the G Master series and their FF setup which yes, I definitely want to buy at 2x the price of my a6400... The entire a6x lineup is carried by 3rd party lenses it seems :D
The perfect lens for my sony a6000 photoshoot behind the scenes
As a Nikon DSLR shooter who's been paying attention to Sony and Fuji APSC mirrorless over the years I admit I've been very impressed with the number of people who continue to use all of the different models. When people recommend Sony or Fuji they talk about all the models as if it's just different flavors and you can pick and choose what you like. With Nikon and Canon. It appears to me. And I may be wrong. That people always want the latest model. But people are still using and buying and recommending the a6000 and the T1 on up just based upon what they need and how much you want to spend. That's very impressive to me.
@@Smoothblue90 i use the a6000 and damn I still take cool photos with that camera. Even with the kit lens.
Right to the point as it's another Arthur's review! I can't justify the price at all.... I wished it was 500 or as you said 600 at least... Considering it's price a side by side review to the Sony 10-18mm is a must man! Do it please!
BTW I can't wait for that probably coming telephoto lens to compelete the trio! Two current ff 70-300 and 70-180 2.8 both fit great on apsc being light and relatively small. But the problem comes with the new 150-500 which looks funny on a6xxx bodies and is a big heft to carry. A crop version of that lens is appreciated being half the weight or at least something like a 100-400
@@daniellehotsky1776 Sure that's a great lens but it is 1k$! If Tamron dose what it did with the great Sony 70-200 f2.8 with it's 70-180 won't you be happy? They can make one only for 500$ and even lighter.
@@daniellehotsky1776 the reason people want the Tamron is because of price and size will be better than the Sony
Great video as always dear Arthur, thank you! 👍 Your clear pronounciation and emphasis makes it easy to me to follow each single word of yours. Go on with that, man! 🤗 Already owning the 17-70 f2.8, either the 11-20 f2.8 or the new Samyang 12 f2.0 would be the right lens for me to add on wide angle. (Sony 10-18 is out due to its quality dispersion.) Over here in Germany, the Samyang (400€) is less than half the price of the Tamron (900€, bah, would force me to eat old bread for 3 months or so to get the bucks in). So a detailed comparison by you of those 2 lenses on 12mm would be awesome and really help for buying decision … Your little boy gets cuter from video to video, by the way, really enjoyable to watch. Best wishes and many greets from Chris the Bierkoenig, Berlin 🥳🍺
Looks nice! Might pair well with the new zv-e10?
hey when u review samyang 12mm f2.0 AF lens please compare it with this tamron lens...i really want to see how it compares in vlog type video setting.
I want to see video autofocus on this two length with sony's latest Eye detect autofocus in video...
Now Sony really needs to release a flagship
Apsc camera
Been watching your videos for a while, love the content, I bought the sigma 56mm and Tamron 17-70 after watching your videos. One question I have for you, I am going on a trip to Arizona and Utah, visiting lots of beautiful places, I wanted to purchase the Sigma 16mm F1.4 for the trip to take some landscape photos, and maybe a night sky shot or two, but after this video I am wondering if I should get the Tamron 11-20 instead? Thoughts? I'll probably eventually have both, but I just upgraded from the a6000 to the a6400 as well so budget will only allow one lens purchase as well lol.
No image stabilization seems like a big miss for vloggers. Or anyone doing handheld video.
I was thinking of buying sony 10-18 f4 soon, well, not anymore. Hahahaha.
I already have it. It is perfect for my collection.
11-20 2.8
17-70 2.8
70-350G
56mm 1.4
I think I dont need anything else now :)
Yeah lucky you, don't need anything else maybe....but we can wish for a Tamron equivalent to that great Sony 70-350mm which be almost half the price....or maybe even longer?
You have my dream lens setup 😮
you need to create now 😊
sony 90mm f2.8 macro or sigma 105mm f2.8 macro
@@NaveenRawat I am trying to do my best with my IG @rok.leben 🙏 need to teach myself how to make good videos also
When is Sigma entering the APS-C zoom market?! Still waiting!
They'd put up some stiff competition! I _loved_ the trio, but I sold them off for the convenience of the all-in-one 17-70 Tamron.
I'd love to see a 9 or 10 to 20 Sigma zoom.
@@alexrowland as a walk around or travel lens for sure. I'm a big Sigma fan so I'd like them to do a 16-70 f2.8. But nothing beats that 1.4 if you really need that DOF or for super low light. Something that pushes you creatively using primes too I find.
I swear you look like the guy from hoovies garage! No offense
That mic has really clean sound. Good job dude
“It’s been 84 years”….
I’d love a more in depth comparison between this, the new Rokinon 12mm AF, and the Laowa 9mm.
i'll keep my sony 10-88mm with IBIS for our vlogs. the tamaron is just as much as the sony. call it a rip off but it's the only option we have for a wide angle with ibis. so...
Yes, please review this side by side with the 10-18mm
I just watched one of your videos, where you celebrated 10 000 subscribers. Now you have over 168k, that's crazy.
You deliver supreme quality content, good work!
Looks much smaller than my Tokina 11-16. APS-C lineup now looks complete for sony. Actually, absence of ultra wide was stopping me from switching to A6400
Hello
What ISO do you put to film ( Sony a6400 - 25p /50) ?
Great lens but it's as expensive as fullframe Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8
Very interesting. I could replace *both* my 12mm/2.0 + 16mm/1.4 with this lens.
Waiting for Samyang 12mm F2 AF
This is the first lens I have ever pre ordered, after I rented and purchased 2 other Tamron zooms. All I can say is this is my new favorite lens
And I've been waiting 2 weeks for this review.
I bought Sony a6600 body and sigma trio, sony 16-55, laowa 9mm, 7 Artisans 60 mm macro, sony 70-350mm lenses... All because of watching your videos 😅😂🤣 😜... Now you are tempting me to get this one as well...hope I will get a good one soon... Keep posting quality review videos as you have been doing until now...
So you're rich
I have a nice collection of lenses with the Sony a6600 too and a lot of them I bought based on his videos as well. 😂 The Sigma trio, Sigma 100-400, Tamron 17-70 & 70-180 and the Sony 85 f1.8... Don't know if I need an 11-20 but you never know. It might end up in my kit soon. 🤷🏽♂️ Lol
I need an ultra wide angle lens for indoor Real Estate videography with Sony ZV-E10 camera, what do suggest which lens is wider and a good choice for my work, Tamron 11-20mm or Samyang 12mm, Tamron is more expensive in my country but if it's a better than I'll manage please advise ?
Also is it Laowa 9mm in s Autofocus or not ?
Great vid! could you do a comparison between 11-20 and the 16-55 ?
Ok nice lens but the prices these days jesus 900 euros in greece and the a6400 cost 899... If i give 1799 its better to go for the a7iii that cost 1900 with kit lens and a 300 cash back.. Nice video btw! Thanks!
Im ok with You if You complain that you can get the FF equivalent (17-28 Tamron) for the same price as the 11-20 but please you can not compare this lens to a kit lense
@@davidc8258 No im not comparing the kit with this lens im just saying that they should cost les. Imaging if this ones cost was 550 600 its a reasonable price. The market on photography and videography its way more expensive that should..
@@ChrisDinGR you are right that this is def too expensive. Lets say 700€ would be okay
I have the Tamron 17-70mm lens and wanted to get a wider lens to get into real estate photography. You just persuaded me to buy the Laowa 9mm! haha. Great review.
not stabilization?
There is already a trifecta 11-20 f2.8, 17-70 f2.8 and 70-180 f2.8
Yes! Please compare this lens to the others
Please review Samyang 12mm f2.0 autofocus lens 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 it will help lot of people 🎆
Coming soon!
@@ArthurR 🙏🏼
I shot my very first wedding with the Tamron 17-70. I saved up for MONTHS and got a used copy. Although I missed focus at a few important moments (thinking it was either me or my a6000), I cannot recommend it enough! SUCH an upgrade from the kit lens and my 50mm f1.8.
Thinking about doing more landscapes, as I hike a lot and eventually hoping to shoot the Northern Lights, now I want this one as well! When I was looking for wide-angle af lenses, all I could find was that 10-14. I am so excited about this one, but I will be waiting on it for a while. Thank you for the review!
Good call on a replacement for your kit lens! I've been through a few lenses for the 6000 series cameras, including the "Sigma trio" (great lenses btw), but since I mounted the 17-70 on my camera, it hasn't come off once.
I'm tempted by this lens too, I actually had it in my cart and was ready to checkout, but I ended up just going for the Samyang aka Rokinon 12mm instead after watching Arthur's review. I just can't justify spending almost $1K on a lens that I'll sparingly use.
Great to see this lens, but wont buy due to lack of oss, has made the crappy 10-18 still the go to for video vloggers. Seriously, their 17-70 was great. Need to add oss on all lenses to make them true winners. Especially at these price points. For apsc 500-600 max, always with oss. Always lol.
From my initial testing... I suspect that I am going to fall in love with this lens. Beats the pants off (my copy of) the Sony 10-18mm f/4.0... It is plenty wide enough for me at 11mm; in fact I was quite happy with the 12-24mm Tokina on my Canon APSC. Tamron, Sigma and Rokinon have provided us with ample APC E-Mount lens choices...
Looks like an awesome lens, for sure, but WAY over priced, as is the Sony 10-18, in my opinion, especially at f4. This looks like a better way to go, although, I have the Samyang 12mm f2.0, and it's an incredible lens. Manual, yes, but in a wide angle, that doesn't really matter all that much. It's easy to focus, and the image quality is really great. Oh, and I got it, brand new for $145 on Ebay, so there's that, too. ;) Lenses are like smartphones, they are way overpriced, have much less expensive great options, and people will always buy all of them, from the cheap ones to the expensive ones, simply because the want them. ;) Awesome review, as always, thank you.
Do you have any link of samyang 12mm f2 i wanna buy
@@MujtabaMoonMujtabamoon www.amazon.com/Samyang-SY12M-Ultra-Cameras-Renewed/dp/B07VFFMY3V/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=samyang+12mm+f2+sony&qid=1625627540&sr=8-5
Incredible looking lens. Good to see more great stuff for ASP-C camera as they are my favorite bodies to use. As for image stabilization, after shooting film cameras for 30 plus years, no stabilization what-so-ever, I see no problem with this ultrawide for taking great pictures. If one is so bad with the shakes, then take a tripod along. I've even shot with a 500mm mirror lens without tripod, got great shots. You just have to know how to shoot with fast shutter speeds or brace yourself against a non moving object, like a wall or tree.
Hello and thx for your vidéos. Spent some hours to watch them.
Just bought a A6100 and would like to buy some lenses (just have thé kit 16-50)
Portraits, landscape, streaming fixed vidéos, family pictures, nature, Travels...
Was thinking about :
Tamron 17-70 2.8 VC as main
Tamron 11-20 2.8 for wide angle + stream (DJ)
Sigma 56 1.4 for portraits
Sony 70-350 oss ?
I’ve been using this camera for a couple of weeks, I love it! I’m glad the sales person mentioned this because I went in for the Sony Ultrawide
Another great review. Thanks. Your analysis was the final piece I needed to order the lens. And it hasn't disappointed. Paired with the Sigma 16mm f1.4, it completes a great wide angle, low light duo. I agree that image stabilization would have been a welcome addition to both.
Could you attach some raw files please?
perfect timming with sony zv-e10
And i thought i was done buying lenses.
You don't know man how long i have been waiting for your review of this lens...
Can you do a review of this vs the new Samyang 12mm AF? I’d love to hear your findings on that.
The 11-20 is on my list! The 10-18 was tempting until I saw your review and how inconsistent the QC seemed. Been waiting on a lens like this for a long time haha
he talked about it in this video. Not a lot, but he did. Tamron is sharper. I own the 12mm samyang mf and wouldn´t recommend it
Yeah I saw, but a more in depth comparison like he’s done with other lenses previously would be interesting to see.
Wow ur boy is growing fast as our girl, she turned 3 last month, a sunshine ☀️
This Tamron or Sigma 16mm F1.4?
I have the old Samyang/Rokinon 12mm F2.0 MF and seen debating on whether I should upgrade to this, anyone else in a similar boat and could share your thoughts? I like to do astrophotography and timelapses.
I'm still waiting for this lens to come in to my local shop. I was buying as soon as I heard about it
Wow. This is a great lens. This will be the best lens for ZV-10.
The price are a bit expensive.... I am gonna hold on to my laowa 9mm for now.
What about zeiss touit 12mm f2.8 Sony e? :)
(4) Lenses in my bag for my a6600 now:
- Tamron 17-70mm
- Tamron 11-20mm
- Sigma 16mm
- Sigma 56mm
You have the 4 lenses I want to end up with! I have the Sigma 56mm and Tamron 17-70mm now, just upgraded to the a6400, which lens would you buy next the Sigma 16 or the Tamron 11-20? Going on a trip to AZ and Utah soon, so will have lots of landscape photos I want to take, and hopefully a few night sky shots with whichever lens I buy next
@@pdub422 If astro is you thing I would buy Sigma for that extra low light performance.
And I agree, the combo seems just like a dream. If I could justify spending so much I probably would have bought almost exact set of lenses. My current combo is Tamron 17-70 and sigma 16 with a6400. If Tamron 11-20 had VC I would reconsider having sigma 16mm, as Tamron 11-20 would allow me to lower the shutter speed and compensate that few light stops resulting from aperture difference.
Had this been released 3 years ago before Tamron laid out their FF lens lineup, this price would have been totally justified.
I have a question, ir you put a filter on this lens does create vigneting?
That is the perfect lens .... except the price.
What about the "TOKINA ATX-i 11-20mm F2.8"?
We fly it on our Cinelifters.
THX for this video :)
White balance on his videos are on high 😂
Think it's worth selling a sigma 16mm for?
This lens and the 17-70 2.8 are making me envy sony APS-C shooters! Wondering if it will ever come to Nikon Z and Fuji X.
Maybe loaning a 10-18mm? A comparison would be great!!!
Disagree on the wide scale, I think ff 15-35 equivalent is what we lack in apsc we always get this lack luster 15-27(or30)
Listing my 10-18 when I get home. lol
Did you know about it, 9 years ago? 🤔 If so, then Tamron is really working on extremely slow production 🤣😂
Someone finally copied Tokina's model
have you ever tried sigma 8-16mm f4.5-5.6 +mc-11 ??
I really really want a 12-24mm full-frame equivalent... as you've said, 11mm is probably not wide enough. I don't understand why they created two lenses that overlap each other (11-20, 17-70). Well, on full frame there are 16-35mm and 24-70, with the former better suited for photojournalism and street photography, but I really prefer the 12-24 + 24-70 + 70-200 trinity
12:14 a blooper right at the end, the right place lol
The price is not right though
Ahhh, so disappointed at the price!!! And without stabilization, too. Really a shame. If it were priced at $600 I'd go out and buy it today. Now, I think I'll wait a bit to see if Sony can drum up a replacement for the 10-18 F4.
It’s on sale now for 650
Great, as always! Please make a Tamron 11-20 vs Sony 10-18 !!
Arthur APC King
Cool explanation 😎
what are your thoughts on Sony 10-20mm vs Tamron 11-20mm F2.8 ? I'm confused as to which to buy between these; truly value your opinion and expertise. Can you please give your insight on which you would recommend for real estate photography and videos? Thanks!
Hard to justify the price seeing as the samyang af 12mm is only 299 and practically as sharp
I agree 100%. That price is very friendly to beginners.
Great Video! Can you make a comparison between Tamron 11-20mm vs Samyung 2.0 12mm AF version? Interested in an in-depth comparison and review.
I personally think the 20 long end is very helpful, (for me) it's just long enough to not need another lens for "walkaround"
Looks a great lens, but i have a sigma 12mm f2, which is good and i can live with the manual focus so I'll be staying with that. .....for now LoL. As you say its a bit expensive.
If you ever wondered why the Sony 10-18 was so bad in the corners and why it seemed the samples were all over the place in corner quality... it's largely because of the stabilization. The losses lenses take when attempting to expand the image circle in order to allow for OSS/VC/IS/etc, especially when the lens isn't given the room it needs to correct for that movement... well, those losses are heavy. As you've seen. Hence, most likely (aside from cost and the inevitable increase in price), the reason for no VC in this lens. Fantastic overview, sir.
how bout min focus distance at 11mm?
How are the jitters when shooting video since it doesn't have the vibration control? Would you recommend only using this on a gimbal for the a6400?
I am pretty disappointed. I had this one my list. Until I saw it was an APSC lens. Sadly no use for me. Kinda explains the good price also at 1000 usd. I own the 17-28 f2.8 by Tamron for Sony FE FF. Its a great lens. I just wanted even wider than 17mm. Went with the Irix 11 f4.
Just got this lens and loving it. Tamron might have increased the resistance of turning the zoom ring, and it appears to be on par with other lenses of this size.
Thank you for reviewing this lens!
Finally, I can choose between this or laowa first
I've been waiting for this!
Good Review!
Some people say this lens has flare problems .
But the lens is in all other terms great.
For me i love my Zeiss 12mm and the Tamron 17-70 in this range .
Do the loaner and your personal copy perform similarly?
they should make a telephoto 2.8 as well to complete the apsc lineup
Can't wait for your review of the samyang 12mm f2.0. I think that's a better value for money as compared to this Tamron.
Awesome video as always Arthur! Actually I am really curious to see it go up against the sony 10-18 F4 haha, as this is the most logical competitor. The thing is, I have the Sony 10-18 and in terms of sharpness it outperforms my Rokinon 12mm f2.0. So unless I need to shoot stars, I pretty much have the 10-18 on the camera all the time for landscape and cityscape shots, plus it's a great travel lens combination with the 18-200 LE. Completely agree with you on the wide angle side too....11-20mm seems an odd choice because it isn't really wide enough for a super wide zoom, and it has too much overlap with their 17-70mm. 10-18mm would've made much more sense for this lens. Anyways, thanks for the review, looking forward to more content!
Great comment! And you got a good Sony 10-18mm. The new Rokinon 12 with autofocus is also worthy of consideration, but not quite wide enough as well.
@@ArthurR Thank you. I guess I got lucky with my copy of the 10-18mm indeed! The Rokinon 12mm AF seems very nice indeed, but the reason I like the original 12mm F2.0 so much is because it's a breeze to use for astrophotography with the manual focus. I actually like the manual controls on this one.
Great review as usual! I was just wondering how this lens would work with sony a6400 on the crane m2 gimbal?
Should be really good, because it weighs very little.
Fantastic looking lens.
