I bought this as my only lens when I bought my A7IV about 30 months ago. Couldn’t have been happier and has covered me well for multiple trips since then. I’ve only recently added the tamron 28-200 and the Sony 50mm f/1.8. Can I just give a round of applause for the video that Dunna made?! What a lovely intro to his part of the world and a testament to the lens.
Hello ! I have the G2 for 2 weeks now and before it I had the G1 for about 1 year. The G2 focuses faster and more accurate, the eye af is much more sticky on my RIII . Also the corner sharpness is improves and the bokeh, indeed. The build quality is a little better and the programable button is a plus. Overall the new lens is GREAT , I love it ! Is the ideal leans on the Sony mount. I wish they made new G2 versions of the 17-28 and 70-180 too ! I already have the 70-180 and I really, really want the changes of the liitle guy on the big guy ! Especially the Af, on the G2 is much more dependable than on the old lens and the 70-180.
Yeah this lens is great. I tried the Sigma 24-70 and while it's an amazing lens the Tamron is so much more convenient for hiking and walking around. This thing is unbelievably light and small. You might lose 4mm on the wide end but the tradeoff is worth it. Not to mention that the styling of the G2 is much better than the first gen. Lenses like these are why I chose the Sony ecosystem.
i disagree i really missed the 4mm landscapes look so much better and so many times when shooting events that extra 4mm saves you having to switch to a wide angle.
I like the old styling look better, but it is much more ergonomically efficient. The customization is insane. But I can’t justify upgrading. I still LOVE my first gen. I’ll probably buy their 17mm first before upgrading
Bought the lens about 3 weeks ago and have not regreted it yet. It's an absolute beast, especially for the price (got it with a little extra Black Friday discount) Can only recommend!
Panasonic has a 10-25 f1.7 for it's micro 4/3 system. It's a very popular lense on that format so it would be great to have an equivalent for the Sony E mount !
I just bought an FX3 and was wondering how it would pair with this new version. Dunna you are reading my mind. I love you. Thanks so much for this video. Sidenote: Your short films are fantastic. No bs i really enjoy them.
A beautiful place. (The cave was stunning, never saw something like that up close like in this video). Tamron looks like it performed really nice as well.. Great video.. I enjoyed it!!
I know this is just me. Eversince I've been shooting with A Nikon D90 DSLR I love the Tamron Lens Color. For me I find the colors coming from tamron lenses like Rustic or like Wood I do not know how to explain it but there is something in that color that makes me like it so much.
love your videos man but i did find it funny when you said you wanted Legolas powers to float on top of the snow, when your snowshoes were strapped to your pack lol
@@dunnadidit thanks :) always love your work :) I’m trying to figure out how to include more tech in my channel - originally started out as writing only, but now focused more on storytelling in general, my processes and want to do more video editing (my day to day work) and tech.

@@eliyahu101 hey Elliot - I’ve owned all three and sold the Sigma and Sony GM as I wanted something lighter and more compact. Thankfully, the new G2 ticked all my boxes, and then some as the sharpness has been improved and is pretty much on par with the Sony now from my tests (but much lighter and customizable)
I've just got my A7iv with Sony 24-105mm F4. I was over thinking last week about what lens to get. The tamron 28-75 G2 or the sony 24-105mm F4. So far i'm amaze by the versatility of the 24-105..
There is a lot nice things about sel24105: focal length range, OSS, 20/30fps for A9/A1, sharpness, magnification ratio… I think that also resell value is higher for Sony G and GM lenses ;-)
My Sony 24-105 is indispensable! It is by far the most versatile lens I have ever owned. It is on my A7iii more than any other lens, and will soon be on my A7iv. It is also one sharp lens with great bokeh zoomed out. Who needs a faster lens with the abilities of current full frame sensors! No way I could go back to a 28-70, or even a 24-70 regardless of their max aperture.
Yea the 24-105 is pretty soft compared with the G2 anyway, especially in the corners. So even if you have more range, you have less quality. Not a great tradeoff.
This video is like the perfect example of "If you want the epic shot you have to make the epic climb" Falling in Snow: the story of a man, his camera, and his water proof pants
This lens is lighter than some of the fast wide primes that have come out. Two very different tools I agree!! But it's just great to have a standard zoom that weighs 540gms. It's glued to my A7iii.
Oddly enough, as much as Sony might hate it, lenses like this are actually a big draw to the system and makes it easier to justify moving over. An A7IV and Tamron for $3400?? Hard to find a better combo for the price.
So true, i moved from a Canon RP to a A7IV because Canon gatekeeps their RF-Mount so you have no choice in diffrent lenses except Canons. Found the A7IV with the Tamron G2 for 2,6k and couldnt say no.
The thing that made me go with Sony for my first camera is tamron lenses. Sure they may not be as good as the native GM lenses but to me they’re like 90% there at a fraction of the price
The tamron 11-20 was my first Tamron that I just purchased a couple months ago. I am not a pro and nowhere close to it, just enjoy shooting and also making videos. I was considering this one as a mid range when I saw it on pre order and maybe I will make it happen within a couple of months. Gorgeous scenery and video!
I love Tamron zoom lenses. They are great value for money. I own 17-28, 35-150 and 150-500. I just might trade 17-28 with 16-35 GM, so I cover the full range from 16-500. There is no place for this lens in by bag, though. Anyway, your video is great, thanks.
Yeah if you’ve already got the 35-150 this one would only be handy when you don’t wanna carry all that weight. I was the same about the 16-35 but I’m really glad I went for it. It’s so good.
Hi Dunna thanks for this video . I 'm considering buying this lens for my ZV-E10. I took a look also to your video about this lens on APS-C. Due to this upgrades, how do you think it will work on APS-C?
I see you have mastered the art of the "post-hole", my friend! Did you even use the snowshoes??!! Great looking adventure though, thanks for putting these clips together for us. Looks amazing!
Beautiful hike but I am glad I watched it near the fireplace! Those looked like some serious sketchy bits to get over but the cave was definitely worth it. That is true dedication in filming a lens review under those conditions! Nice one, by the way but I am keeping my old Tammy 28-75 for now.
Great review for this lens. I would love to see do the same with the APS-C Tamron lens like the 11-20, 17-70 and 18-300. That would include just about every focal length needed on a mountain excursion. That 28-70 looks like a perfect lens. Just take the 17-28mm zoom for times you need the extra wide angel shots. These two companies, Tamron and Sigma are really pumping out some incredible lens for the not so rich photo hobbyists.
@@dunnadidit : Just want to tell you I enjoy your format when it comes to photography. Tests on pictures a wall are great to weed out bad lens, but getting out in the world and seeing what it can do is far more important to me. When I shot photos back beginning in the 1970, I didn't care about how good the lens were, I wanted to capture images for my job and my adventures in the Air Force for the base newspaper. I was lucky to take my Nikon F2a into North Korea at the DMZ. All my cameras were fantastic, from the screw lens mount Pentax cameras, to the breach mount Canon FTB, and to my love, the F2A. Because I was using Tri-X and Kodachrome 64 most of the time, razor sharp photos wasn't a goal, it was getting the image. Cameras are time machines, never letting the past die. I feel your job is to bring excitement and joy into photography, not try to argue when is better. Is Sony the best, or is it Nikon. How about Canon or Panasonic? Who cares if you can't take a picture worth keeping. Oh, I do have a photo a friend took of me overlooking North Korea in uniform.
Thanks so much for saying that! I used to do a lot more pixel peeping and controlled tests, but it didn’t feel as important as GETTING OUT THERE AND SHOOTING! So I switched my format up a bit and here we are! I’m glad you enjoy it and I love hearing your thoughts!
Great review and awesome hike! Just ordered the new Tamron on Sunday. After watching this video we are super excited to try this new lens. We are new fans of your channel. Love that you do this super cinematic videos when testing products. Thanks for your video! 👍☺️ Do you think Tamron is going to release a new 17-28 G2 soon? We wanted to order the current version, but think we are going to wait for the G2 if they don’t take too long
I really hope they’re planning the 17-28 G2 soon. Or actually… what I really want is a full 16-35 from them. But we’re going into a bit of a quieter season for releases so it might be a while yet.
I did! It doesn’t always seem to land right in that spot but it was bugging me during the edit on that last video. So when you noticed it too, I popped it out! Thanks for the suggestion!
@@dunnadidit that’s funny😄 what about an RGB on the shelf behind your shoulders? You never want to overdo-it though. Thanks again for your incredible videos.
I have a bit of a dilemma. Here's my current line-up: G 20mm f/1.8, Zeiss 55 f/1.8, the new 70-200 f/4 mk2 and... I'm wondering... would a 35mm be a good addition or should I perhaps just add this Tamron lens to my current kit? I'm also thinking of buying an 85mm as I like using it for street photos.
Hey Dunna! There is a huge headache I have to pick a starting lens for a new sony user to come from Canon. I ordered my Sony A74 and need to start with a lens. I already bought my first lens for Talking head videos 20mm 1,8 Sony lens also for wide shots. But I am so confused about the B-roll lens... What should I need to buy these days? new gen2 28-75 f2,8 tamron or Sigma 24-70 f2,8 Art or Sony 24-105 f4... Probably there are a huge amount of people waiting to decide as well... Hopefully you will see this and get my answer :) Ps: I am video centred user but I love to take pictures as well... I will produce more videos for my channel on youtube this year.
@@dunnadidit Great man Thanks! I am following you and buying sigma 24-70 f2.8 art, Next lens will be the 85mm 1,4 art too. You are the best of the best
After testing the new version of the Tamron i sent my copy back. I could see little difference between my two year old older version of the lens. The only place it was better was in the far corners and that was very close. I usually crop in some so they were even in the final result.
Just started doing weddings and I’m all over the place as to which zoom lens to get. I have 85mm prime lens and 50mm so I was looking at the 35-150 tamron but it’s just out of my budget. Is this one similar in quality as that one?
Awesome video Dunna! Great to see this lens in real use on a cool trip like this. Am curious, how do you find it compares to the sigma 28-70? 🤔 Am looking to get one of these two.
That’s a tough one because I don’t have the sigma anymore, I just had a loaner copy. If I had to try to guess and out things together I’d say Tamron is probably the winner here but that’s a lot of guessing haha
Given that you’ve used both Tammy G2 and Sigma 24-70, which one do you prefer now? Do you still prefer the 24-70, or would you now recommend the G2 over it? Having trouble deciding between the two! Thanks in advance!
I think the 24-70 is still my go-to. The value of the Tamron is undeniable though. So I think it depends on what’s most important to the individual. Saving some money? Getting the extra width?
So I just pulled the trigger on the FX3 and have the Tamron 17-28. As a compliment I have been considering the 28-75 but also the Sony 28-105 F4. What are your thoughts? Thanks again for another great video session.
Pro tip! Put on your snow shoes when crossing the ice, they increase the surface area of your feet and you're less likely to fall through. Only pitfall is that if you do break through with the snow shoe on the you're gonna have a hell of a time getting your foot back out. I live in Calgary and while I'm certainly no professional photographer I frequent the mountains and have climbed some of the ice where you guys saw climbers! Would be rad to get together sometime for an adventure. Hit me up if you're keen!
Very sexy lens but your mm difference in term of % is simple & simply mind-blowing ... Still leaning toward Sigma because of this math point 😄 well done
That’s something I’m actually just figuring out too. The ones I’ve been using are timberlands, but they weren’t so winter ready, so I picked up a pair from woods (what I had on in the video) they were decent but not as comfy as the timberlands were when they were new, a bit more budget friendly though!
@@dunnadidit and @Mark. Check out On, a Swiss brand that makes a great gortex light hiker. (I work in the footwear industry but not for On) Keep up the great work you two do.
Great video! Not sure if you still have this lens, but, wondering if you have/had similar problems. When stopping down to F10 and above (F10 - F22), a noise comes from the lens (maybe the motor). When pressing the "focus hold" button, the sound stops--but restarts after releasing. I'm using two Sony FX3s (this happens on both of them). Lastly, I sent it to Tamron for warranty repair, and they stated their lens is not guaranteed to work on Cinema cameras, including the Sony FX3. Ironically, I tried it on the Sony A7SIII as well--same issues. Again, like to know if you're having similar problems with your lens while using the Sony FX3.
Great video as always, Dunna! Having tested both, do you think there’s a place in the kit for both this lens and the Tamron 35-150? Or do you see too much overlap to have both? Also, out of interest, which did you like the performance of better? Thanks as usual mate 👌🏼
Damn that's some serious adventuring you did mate! I never even thought of going to Banff in the winter lol. If I needed a normal zoom this lens would definitely be a top consideration for the budget value alone. Not going to lie you are tempting me to invest in those pants lol
These 28-70/28-75 are so populair but they are still not wide enough. I have used the sony 24-70 f4 for a while but its not sharp enough, now I want a 28-75 because of how light and small it is and 2.8, but I will miss the 24mm on the wide end. Should I get a 20 or 24 prime with it? Normally I dont like switching lenses. Its so difficult to choose..
If you were starting from scratch with a Sony system today and had the budget for either: A7IV with 28-70 kit Or Used III or C with Tamron 28-75 G2 Which would you choose? Use case is just ordinary daily/family stuff. Both photo and video, but moreso photo.
I’m buying this one. I’ve been looking for midrange zoom lens for my A7iv I should get soon. I just got a chance to see the SIGMA 24-70 and it’s really heavy. This is the number one reason I’m switching from EOS R, so many great third party lenses with affordable prices. Thank you man. Also I don’t know how to get ur signature blue and gold color look on your images and videos.
One question since I'm a beginer photographer, is this new 28-75 f2.8 G2 lens compatible for Sony A7 III ? I don't know this new lens the G2 28-75 mm f2.8 is for full frame and if it works on my A7 III
Been looking for a lens to pair soon with the a7iv. Its great that tamron updated it but i think the sigma 24-70 art would still be amazing overall. Despite having dust problems. Big lenses are fun to me and it looks dope. Great video!
Honestly, I don’t know… this is just kind of hearsay but I’m pretty sure anything that is selling now was included in that, I also had sigma clean mine under warranty.
Better weatherproofing on the Tamron, better AF performance. Smaller, lighter. Able to turn by wire MF behavior into linear, mechanical MF behavior (among other things) Lower CA. Tamron for the win.
@@dunnadidit it is anything above 5504xxx, with that said I think the low end of the 24 is more valuable then the extra 5mm at the top end. I was also able to score the Sigma for the same price as the Tamron thanks to a one day sale at B&H.
is it possible to get it balanced on a gimbal when zooming? I want to get a zoomlens for shooting weddings on a gimbal, but most of the 'budget' options don't have internal zoom. Does it work with this one since it doesn't look too big?
Depends on the gimbal! I can do WAY bigger and heavier lenses on my dji rs2 even with their zooms (I did the Tamron 35-150 in that video) and I just balance in the middle and go shoot.
Ok so its a definite yes from your side? In spite of having 35-150 2-2.8… is it? For everyday carry… right… (I’ll place the order immediately after hearing a yes from you… coz i love your videos and opinions) ☺️
Hey I just got the R2 the second generation of this lens - and it does not respect the setting I input in your camera for AF track sensitivity & AF Drive Speed in video - if i set to slow on my 24-105 it gives me a slow smooth focus pull - on the tamron 28-75 R2 - it does the same sloppy low budget video camera looking focus stutter jumping in video no matter what the setting. Is the first generation 28-75 like this? Thanks! is there a firmware update coming to fix this?
Im about to buy the Sony 24-105 for my first camera (Sony A7iv) then I saw this. The price is relatively close. What should I get? I will probably only be able to get just one for the next year or two.
Hey! I have a sigma 28-75 2.8 Version 1 and I love it.. I have to say that I do sometimes would like more focal range, but that 2.8 really can make up for it... I would buy the 28-75 G1 or G2 and save money for the 70-200 f4 from Sony.. that's how I did it anyways :D
Thanks for this video Dunna and I just subscribed. Anyways I'm looking for a 24-70 range lens for my A7 III, the Sigma Art 24-70 was the first that I was impressed at especially in a review from Jaren Polin and it can even beat the 24-70GM in some aspects. Then I read that Tamron is having a G2 of the 28-75 so I waited and watched the reviews and I'm impressed as well. However over a month ago I saw some videos and reviews of the Samyang 24-70 f2.8 its first AF Zoom lens and it seems good. So now Dunna have you experienced the Samyang 24-70 yet? Or have any of your viewers here have the Samyang yet?
What did you decide to buy? I'm in the same place as you were, can't decide between the sigma 24-70 and this tamron, but the sony 24-105 is still in the back of my mind.
@All Matt Racing I bought 3 sony 24-105 for the new inhouse studio, for the handheld stability, size and weight, plus the little more range with the zoom as I didn't know how far the cameras will be. I already used the same lens quite a while with my previous job and I felt while 2.8 would be amazing, this lens would full fill more gaps for my situation.

Hi Dunna thanks for this video . I 'm considering buying this lens for my ZV-E10. I took a look also to your video about this lens on APS-C. Due to this upgrades, how do you think it will work on APS-C?
I see you have mastered the art of the "post-hole", my friend! Did you even use the snowshoes??!! Great looking adventure though, thanks for putting these clips together for us. Looks amazing!
Beautiful hike but I am glad I watched it near the fireplace! Those looked like some serious sketchy bits to get over but the cave was definitely worth it. That is true dedication in filming a lens review under those conditions! Nice one, by the way but I am keeping my old Tammy 28-75 for now.
Thank you so much!!
Perfect sponsor for you dunna, dunna duer 😂
Right!? #dunnaDUERdit
Thanks for the idea of saying I packed a little too much my backpack is too heavy. Instead of saying i'm too heavy lol.
Does Tamron make a 16-35mm GM equivalent?
Tamron just has the 17-28mm F2.8 that is near that range.
nope 16-35mm GM king
@@HangingOutWithMike range is very limited on that.
Just got my 28-75 G2 and so far looks great!
Nice!!
Greetings from Edmonton Dunna! Stay warm
Also greetings from Edmonton! It’s a cold one today!
Can you make a video on the tamron 28-200? It is a sleeper lens that is worth comparing to the 24-105
I’ll see what I can do!
Great review for this lens. I would love to see do the same with the APS-C Tamron lens like the 11-20, 17-70 and 18-300. That would include just about every focal length needed on a mountain excursion.
That 28-70 looks like a perfect lens. Just take the 17-28mm zoom for times you need the extra wide angel shots. These two companies, Tamron and Sigma are really pumping out some incredible lens for the not so rich photo hobbyists.
Glad you enjoyed it! I could t agree more!
@@dunnadidit : Just want to tell you I enjoy your format when it comes to photography. Tests on pictures a wall are great to weed out bad lens, but getting out in the world and seeing what it can do is far more important to me. When I shot photos back beginning in the 1970, I didn't care about how good the lens were, I wanted to capture images for my job and my adventures in the Air Force for the base newspaper. I was lucky to take my Nikon F2a into North Korea at the DMZ. All my cameras were fantastic, from the screw lens mount Pentax cameras, to the breach mount Canon FTB, and to my love, the F2A. Because I was using Tri-X and Kodachrome 64 most of the time, razor sharp photos wasn't a goal, it was getting the image. Cameras are time machines, never letting the past die. I feel your job is to bring excitement and joy into photography, not try to argue when is better. Is Sony the best, or is it Nikon. How about Canon or Panasonic? Who cares if you can't take a picture worth keeping.
Oh, I do have a photo a friend took of me overlooking North Korea in uniform.
Thanks so much for saying that! I used to do a lot more pixel peeping and controlled tests, but it didn’t feel as important as GETTING OUT THERE AND SHOOTING! So I switched my format up a bit and here we are! I’m glad you enjoy it and I love hearing your thoughts!
Great review and awesome hike! Just ordered the new Tamron on Sunday. After watching this video we are super excited to try this new lens. We are new fans of your channel. Love that you do this super cinematic videos when testing products. Thanks for your video! 👍☺️
Do you think Tamron is going to release a new 17-28 G2 soon? We wanted to order the current version, but think we are going to wait for the G2 if they don’t take too long
I really hope they’re planning the 17-28 G2 soon. Or actually… what I really want is a full 16-35 from them. But we’re going into a bit of a quieter season for releases so it might be a while yet.
nah i dont think it has sold well. the range is very limiting
Fantastic video. I’d love to think you took out that light behind your because of my comment 😄
the best channel out there, thanks.
I did! It doesn’t always seem to land right in that spot but it was bugging me during the edit on that last video. So when you noticed it too, I popped it out! Thanks for the suggestion!
@@dunnadidit that’s funny😄 what about an RGB on the shelf behind your shoulders? You never want to overdo-it though. Thanks again for your incredible videos.
Haha I had that in the 35-150 video, but I think I like it better with the nice clean look up the middle.
I have a bit of a dilemma. Here's my current line-up: G 20mm f/1.8, Zeiss 55 f/1.8, the new 70-200 f/4 mk2 and... I'm wondering... would a 35mm be a good addition or should I perhaps just add this Tamron lens to my current kit? I'm also thinking of buying an 85mm as I like using it for street photos.
@6:42 or maybe the snowshoes that are on your backpack would help out in that department ;)
Haha maybe! Never used snowshoes before so i wouldn’t know 😂😂😂 Pete lent them to me so I was just waiting for instructions.
Hey Dunna! There is a huge headache I have to pick a starting lens for a new sony user to come from Canon. I ordered my Sony A74 and need to start with a lens. I already bought my first lens for Talking head videos 20mm 1,8 Sony lens also for wide shots. But I am so confused about the B-roll lens... What should I need to buy these days? new gen2 28-75 f2,8 tamron or Sigma 24-70 f2,8 Art or Sony 24-105 f4...
Probably there are a huge amount of people waiting to decide as well... Hopefully you will see this and get my answer :)
Ps: I am video centred user but I love to take pictures as well... I will produce more videos for my channel on youtube this year.
Take a look at either a sigma 24-70 or the Tamron 35-150 f2-2.8!
@@dunnadidit Great man Thanks! I am following you and buying sigma 24-70 f2.8 art, Next lens will be the 85mm 1,4 art too. You are the best of the best
@@dunnadidit I listen to you and bought a74 with 24-70 f2.8 art sigma. Thanks :D
Nice!!
Going to order this now after watching this. Many thanks D
Enjoy your work and always learn something new - thank you. Would you mind sharing where you got the bookshelves behind you on your set? Thanks again.
How does it compare to the Sigma 28-70mm lens?!
After testing the new version of the Tamron i sent my copy back. I could see little difference between my two year old older version of the lens. The only place it was better was in the far corners and that was very close. I usually crop in some so they were even in the final result.
That’s good to know. I’m looking for a used version of either but obviously the first Gen is cheaper
Just started doing weddings and I’m all over the place as to which zoom lens to get. I have 85mm prime lens and 50mm so I was looking at the 35-150 tamron but it’s just out of my budget. Is this one similar in quality as that one?
Awesome video Dunna! Great to see this lens in real use on a cool trip like this. Am curious, how do you find it compares to the sigma 28-70? 🤔 Am looking to get one of these two.
That’s a tough one because I don’t have the sigma anymore, I just had a loaner copy. If I had to try to guess and out things together I’d say Tamron is probably the winner here but that’s a lot of guessing haha
@@dunnadidit haha thanks ☺️
Given that you’ve used both Tammy G2 and Sigma 24-70, which one do you prefer now? Do you still prefer the 24-70, or would you now recommend the G2 over it? Having trouble deciding between the two! Thanks in advance!
I think the 24-70 is still my go-to. The value of the Tamron is undeniable though. So I think it depends on what’s most important to the individual. Saving some money? Getting the extra width?
@@dunnadidit Does the weight make any difference to you?
So I just pulled the trigger on the FX3 and have the Tamron 17-28. As a compliment I have been considering the 28-75 but also the Sony 28-105 F4. What are your thoughts? Thanks again for another great video session.
I think it’s actually 24-105 which is such a clutch range… if you’re cool with f4, I’d go that way for the versatility.
@@dunnadidit Which should I get sony 28-105 f4 or tamron G2?
or sigma 24-70. With the dust problem
You could put the follow focus on the opposite side so the gear is closer to the body of the camera
Pro tip! Put on your snow shoes when crossing the ice, they increase the surface area of your feet and you're less likely to fall through. Only pitfall is that if you do break through with the snow shoe on the you're gonna have a hell of a time getting your foot back out.
I live in Calgary and while I'm certainly no professional photographer I frequent the mountains and have climbed some of the ice where you guys saw climbers! Would be rad to get together sometime for an adventure. Hit me up if you're keen!
I’ve never actually used snowshoes before, Pete lent me those ones so I was basically just waiting for him to tel me when I needed them lol 😂
I see 1 Mill subs coming very soon!
Haha got a ways to go yet but we’re growing!!
How many times can Dunna get stuck in snow lol Great video as always man. The FX3 still blows me away with it's DR. Magical!
Hahaha 🤣 let’s just say I didn’t even show half of them.
@@dunnadidit If it was me, I'd still be stuck in that snow lol
😂😂😂
Inspiring video on a beautiful location!
Thanks for watching!!
Very sexy lens but your mm difference in term of % is simple & simply mind-blowing ... Still leaning toward Sigma because of this math point 😄 well done
Haha glad that was helpful!!
Big fan of the pants sponsor. On a related note - what’s you recommendation for hiking boots - I am in Canada too and always cold. 😀
That’s something I’m actually just figuring out too. The ones I’ve been using are timberlands, but they weren’t so winter ready, so I picked up a pair from woods (what I had on in the video) they were decent but not as comfy as the timberlands were when they were new, a bit more budget friendly though!
@@dunnadidit Gavin Hardcastle (Fototripper - landscape TH-camr you might know in BC) suggests Keens. might have to pick some up 👍
I’ll definitely look into them
@@dunnadidit and @Mark. Check out On, a Swiss brand that makes a great gortex light hiker. (I work in the footwear industry but not for On) Keep up the great work you two do.
My trail runners are ON. I absolutely love the style but they are damn pricey haha
How does this lens perform on a APSC camera? Like the A6xxx, zve10, etc.? Thanks!
i bought this for my a7 and i cant wait till i get it
How's the AF compared to the Sigma 28-70 with an A7s3, please tell me if it's reliable for professional work like interview or gimbal work ?
If you were worried about the ice breaking on the stream crossings, you should have put on your snowshoes!
I’m getting the only reason I don’t use my version one is no focus hold
Great video! Not sure if you still have this lens, but, wondering if you have/had similar problems. When stopping down to F10 and above (F10 - F22), a noise comes from the lens (maybe the motor). When pressing the "focus hold" button, the sound stops--but restarts after releasing. I'm using two Sony FX3s (this happens on both of them).
Lastly, I sent it to Tamron for warranty repair, and they stated their lens is not guaranteed to work on Cinema cameras, including the Sony FX3. Ironically, I tried it on the Sony A7SIII as well--same issues. Again, like to know if you're having similar problems with your lens while using the Sony FX3.
Got this lens and my new A7r3A super cool
How does the camera perform in freezing condition? Do you need to use silent shutter to avoid moving parts?
If you could only pick one budget lens, what would you use?
Cool video - Can I program the button on the lens to turn auto-focus on and off?
Great video as always, Dunna! Having tested both, do you think there’s a place in the kit for both this lens and the Tamron 35-150? Or do you see too much overlap to have both? Also, out of interest, which did you like the performance of better? Thanks as usual mate 👌🏼
That’s a tough one, I think I’d go one or the other and I’d probably pick the 35-150
@@dunnadidit that’s my thought too - powerful combo with the 16-35. Though conscious that’s a bit of weight carried around!
Damn that's some serious adventuring you did mate! I never even thought of going to Banff in the winter lol. If I needed a normal zoom this lens would definitely be a top consideration for the budget value alone.
Not going to lie you are tempting me to invest in those pants lol
These 28-70/28-75 are so populair but they are still not wide enough. I have used the sony 24-70 f4 for a while but its not sharp enough, now I want a 28-75 because of how light and small it is and 2.8, but I will miss the 24mm on the wide end. Should I get a 20 or 24 prime with it? Normally I dont like switching lenses. Its so difficult to choose..
If you were starting from scratch with a Sony system today and had the budget for either:
A7IV with 28-70 kit
Or
Used III or C with Tamron 28-75 G2
Which would you choose? Use case is just ordinary daily/family stuff. Both photo and video, but moreso photo.
28-70 kit is still great
I’m buying this one. I’ve been looking for midrange zoom lens for my A7iv I should get soon. I just got a chance to see the SIGMA 24-70 and it’s really heavy. This is the number one reason I’m switching from EOS R, so many great third party lenses with affordable prices. Thank you man. Also I don’t know how to get ur signature blue and gold color look on your images and videos.
One question since I'm a beginer photographer, is this new 28-75 f2.8 G2 lens compatible for Sony A7 III ? I don't know this new lens the G2 28-75 mm f2.8 is for full frame and if it works on my A7 III
Yup! It will work!
@@dunnadidit thank you so much for the help keep up the amazing content 😎🤙
If I get this lens the tamron g2. Do I need a lens like sony 35mm too.
Nice! What's your take on Tamron 17-70mm vs Tamron 28-75 f2.8 G2?
Been looking for a lens to pair soon with the a7iv. Its great that tamron updated it but i think the sigma 24-70 art would still be amazing overall. Despite having dust problems. Big lenses are fun to me and it looks dope. Great video!
I believe they’ve sorted out the dust issue on newer serial numbers!!
@@dunnadidit my bro do you know from which serial numbers are the ‘newer’ models please? Just ordered my Siggy 24-70 like 🤞🤞
Honestly, I don’t know… this is just kind of hearsay but I’m pretty sure anything that is selling now was included in that, I also had sigma clean mine under warranty.
Better weatherproofing on the Tamron, better AF performance. Smaller, lighter. Able to turn by wire MF behavior into linear, mechanical MF behavior (among other things) Lower CA. Tamron for the win.
@@dunnadidit it is anything above 5504xxx, with that said I think the low end of the 24 is more valuable then the extra 5mm at the top end. I was also able to score the Sigma for the same price as the Tamron thanks to a one day sale at B&H.
is it possible to get it balanced on a gimbal when zooming? I want to get a zoomlens for shooting weddings on a gimbal, but most of the 'budget' options don't have internal zoom. Does it work with this one since it doesn't look too big?
Depends on the gimbal! I can do WAY bigger and heavier lenses on my dji rs2 even with their zooms (I did the Tamron 35-150 in that video) and I just balance in the middle and go shoot.
Are you gonna test Samyang 24-70 f2.8?
Would you take the Sigma 24-70 or this new Tammy?
That… is… such… a tough question! I think 24mm is still super important to me so if I was forced to pick I’d probably go that way.
@@dunnadidit thank you! It’s quite hard to find a comparison!
Beautiful nature pictures and videos. Creation of our creator. Allah...
Great video
I have the tamron 35-150 2-2.8 and love it… but its too heavy to be carrying around for general outings… is it a good idea to go for this?
This is WAY smaller and lighter than that other lens, and still a decent all purpose lens. I wish it went a bit wider though.
Ok so its a definite yes from your side? In spite of having 35-150 2-2.8… is it? For everyday carry… right… (I’ll place the order immediately after hearing a yes from you… coz i love your videos and opinions) ☺️
I would say that’s my recommendation for my understanding of your situation!
@@dunnadidit Thanks a ton… placing order now 🙏 Love from India
Hey I just got the R2 the second generation of this lens - and it does not respect the setting I input in your camera for AF track sensitivity & AF Drive Speed in video - if i set to slow on my 24-105 it gives me a slow smooth focus pull - on the tamron 28-75 R2 - it does the same sloppy low budget video camera looking focus stutter jumping in video no matter what the setting. Is the first generation 28-75 like this? Thanks! is there a firmware update coming to fix this?
Hey, I actually DMd you on Twitter about this but do you think the updates on the G2 Tarmi’s make it better than the Sigma 24-70?
I still prefer having the extra wide end of a 24
I just realized rereading this comment that I should stop using voice to text on my iPad 😂😂
😂😂😂
Im about to buy the Sony 24-105 for my first camera (Sony A7iv) then I saw this. The price is relatively close. What should I get? I will probably only be able to get just one for the next year or two.
Hey! I have a sigma 28-75 2.8 Version 1 and I love it.. I have to say that I do sometimes would like more focal range, but that 2.8 really can make up for it... I would buy the 28-75 G1 or G2 and save money for the 70-200 f4 from Sony.. that's how I did it anyways :D
great video, great lens.. I have the version 1 and trief the version 2.. for me its not worth upgrading, for some it might be :)
Does tamron 28-75 G2 have the same sharpness as sigma 24-70?
Definitely comparable.
@@dunnadidit thanks!
For some reason this new lens is 250 dollars more expensive than the old version where I live. Is it worth the extra cost?
I don't understand the pricedifference in USA. Where I live the old cost 200 US$ less than the G2.
I think the old one may be on sale right now, I used the full retail price 🤷🏻♂️
@@dunnadidit Yes
i wish tamron did E mount version of their stabilised 24-70 2.8 .... i need stabilisation and 24 not 28...
hell yeah dude
🤘🏼🤘🏼
Thanks for this video Dunna and I just subscribed. Anyways I'm looking for a 24-70 range lens for my A7 III, the Sigma Art 24-70 was the first that I was impressed at especially in a review from Jaren Polin and it can even beat the 24-70GM in some aspects. Then I read that Tamron is having a G2 of the 28-75 so I waited and watched the reviews and I'm impressed as well. However over a month ago I saw some videos and reviews of the Samyang 24-70 f2.8 its first AF Zoom lens and it seems good.
So now Dunna have you experienced the Samyang 24-70 yet? Or have any of your viewers here have the Samyang yet?
What did you decide to buy? I'm in the same place as you were, can't decide between the sigma 24-70 and this tamron, but the sony 24-105 is still in the back of my mind.
@All Matt Racing I bought 3 sony 24-105 for the new inhouse studio, for the handheld stability, size and weight, plus the little more range with the zoom as I didn't know how far the cameras will be. I already used the same lens quite a while with my previous job and I felt while 2.8 would be amazing, this lens would full fill more gaps for my situation.
