- In this video, I put the Tamron 17-7- f/2.8 through its paces. We test it out for vlogging, video, vacation photos, street photography as well as professional work with agency models. I talk about what I like, dislike and whether or not I feel like this lens is the best practical zoom lens value for the Fuji XF lineup.

I know I will get a lot of comments asking me to put it up against the XF16-80, but there are already videos that do that. So go check them out on You Tube!

Do you own the Tamron 17-70? Are you liking it? Tell me about it in the comments below.
I will soon because of you
@@TristanSmith99 Glad I could help!
Own it for 6 months and not happy. I know that it is not a parfocal lens but focus moves a LOT while zooming in or out, so zooming is not possible during video record. When you tilt your camera vertical, gravity changes the focal length of the lens which is ridiculous. For photography, not bad at all tho. OIS combine with IBIS makes a wonderful job for long exposures.
@@meteturhan3505 yeah. Definitely can't recommend this for video. Stills, it's great.
just ordered one!
thank you for this video...good review.... i am leaning on the lens and most likely will just go for it....
Do it! Love this lens.
I'm getting this lens today, replacing my XF10-24 as my workhorse for video.
Watching some videos just to make sure it's a good investment.
Thanks for the video.
Outside of it not being parfocal, it seems to just fine on all other video tests I did.
Thanks mate! I’m sold
Glad my video helped!
Very useful vidoe. But most importantly: GREAT photos!
Thanks for stopping by!
I have the 16-55 and thats such a beast on my xs20. Just got the sigma 18-50 and it's good but this just has more range and stabilization and the iq seems on par with the other 2 lenses. I think ill be going with this one.
I’m sure you’ll love it.
Excellent video 😊!
Thank you very much!
I got this lens and love it 🚀🚀**Paired with the Fuji XT3
Awesome. XT3 is a solid camera.
That's a fantastic shot at 10:28. How did you get that shot? what settings did you use on the camera?
So that’s a technique called shutter drag. You may have already heard of it, but if not, look up some videos on the technique on You Tube.
I have two light sources. A fast one like a strobe and a slow one like an LED light. I hit the model with a strobe but do it with an extremely slow shutter speed, like 1/8 or slower. As I take the picture I intentionally move my camera to create streaks with the slower light source (LED).
My exact settings:
2 seconds | f/6.3 | ISO 125
Thanks for the review a bit concerning about the water ingress.
I am planning on getting this lens and the xh2 shortly.
The more research I do, the more I think it may have happened through my hot shoe.
@@KevinDeal Quite possible. I had the same issue with the very well sealed S5 and the 24 105. Could use them in rain all day, but used it ONCE close to the seafront without the hot shoe cover and humidity crept in after about an hour. Also, my Tamron 70 180 has held up in the rain just fine so far. Also no dust at all (in contrast to my Sigma). Fun fact: On MPB, most Fujifilm 16 55 2.8 are reduced in price due to humidity in the lens...
@@apocryphal_man checking the conditions on mpb seems indeed a source to check for lenses with issues
When the weather sealing failed. Did you have the lens attached properly, (screwed all the way in) the whole time in the rain?
I did
Do you think this is a viable lens for paid work (engagement, family photos, etc).
I do. It’s pro. Just not weather sealed.
I’m thinking about getting this lens. You compared it to your F4 canon. Isn’t the Tamron really an F4 in full frame?
Depth of field wise. Yes. Light transmission wise. It is 2.8.
Yes, it is also an f4 equivalent. can't believe many pros still don't get this...
Hi, thanks for your review! Are the showed pictures straight out of camera? Thanks
Most of the shots are close to straight out of the camera. I shoot in RAW but use the film simulations, at least on the color shots. When I import the shots into Capture One, the simulations are applied. I do very minor tweaks in post. Exposure, highlights, shadows and maybe contrast. Stuff I could technically also do in my camera.
I do have a custom black and white noir style preset I made in Capture One that I've been using with my work lately and most of the black and white shots you see were altered with that noir preset that I made.
Thanks for watching!
I got it but returned it the next day. Back focus all over the place which shouldn't occur but it is there. No way to correct this so unusable. With manual focus I got it right but at 70mm still very soft and lack of contrast. Maybe a lemon. Got the Fuji 16-55mm f2.8 and much happier.
The Fuji 16-55 is a gem of a lens.
I have the Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-F4 on my Nikon D5500
Cool lens.
So you say it is our fav 3rd party zoom, what is your fav first party zoom or your fav zoom
The 16-55 2.8 is pretty amazing. A little sharper but doesn’t go as long.
Have you tried XF 16-80mm? what are your takes on Tamron 17-70mm vs XF 16-80mm
I have not directly compared the 17-70 to the 16-80. I'm sure the 16-80 is a fantastic lens. At the end of the day, a brighter maximum aperture was more important to me than an extra 10mm.
I’m curious also since I need a lens for my daughter’s basketball games.
@@Unaidedfoot Not sure this lens would be long enough for a basketball game if you want to do shots that have isolation.
Idk if it’s just me but I find the the autofocus to be very inconsistent with this lens
Fuji in general has inconsistent autofocus in my opinion, so it's hard for me to tell if it's the lens or the system. Just my experience.
Those bears were pretty creepy looking from your vacation shots .
The Country Bears at Disney World ARE creepy.
I'm offended . Lol just kidding . I don't mind when lenses don't have aperture rings either
