First NO-MUSIC review video and it wasn't an issue. Thanks Arthur
One year later. I have started using the Tamron 18-300 on my new a6700. Both new to me at the same time. After loosening up or smoothing out the zoom mechanism with daily messages, I got some incredible results shooting bees on my great leaf shrub. I set the camera to focus on insect and off I went firing away. I uses a variety of focal lengths depending on where I was standing. This is an amazing couple as if made for each other. When I could get a lock-on with a bee, very hard when they vanish from sight, I got relatively good to great images. Bees are not cooperative. I finally got one to pose for me and what a shot. The upside is that this is a great lens, a do-all for those working with moving subjects like insects. It's sharp and snaps into focus immediately. Of course I have to give a lot of credit to the best aps-c camera on the market, the Sony a6700.
спасибо приятель ! я как раз присматриваю обьектив для своей а6700
So at 70mm.. the F still at 3,5?
Post results on your yt bro
Variable aperture is always going to be an issue of a 300mm zoom at this price. As you say it'll make a great all one upgrade from the Sony 16-50 & 55-210. Great review as always 🙌
This is exactly what I've been wanting for my X-E1. Thanks for the great vid!
What a time in the photography world we are living in. I remember a super zoom in the DSLR days meant a lot of compromises. This was given and accepted. Sharpness takes a nose dive at most focal length especially wide open, vignetting, chromatic abberation, ultra slow focusing, etc. Variable aperture was always accepted. Variable aperture aside, it is amazing how Tamron nearly did away with most of the compromises on this lens.
Before the SonyA6000, my camera was a canon SX230. A compact with 28-394mm f/3.1-5.9. I still miss having all that focal lengh in one camera, but I just couldn't feel right to go back to a smaller sensor. This lens is a dream come true. It wouldn't be as compact as a compact camera, but way more compact than having to carry the kit lens, a 30mm 1.8 meike and a 135mm vivitar like I do now.
Tamron is on fire! Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I'll be picking one up for sure.
I was waiting for this review. Thanks!
Thank you for your review. I have been using this lens on my A7RV when visiting New England in 2022, and when visiting Japan in 2023. I have been very satisfied with this all-in-one kit for traveling light for photographing landscapes, wildlife, and limited “macros”. The quality is very good especially at f5.6, around 300mm it’s a bit soft unless you use f8.0. Recently I toured the Western United States from the west coast to the National Parks including Yellowstone. I usually carried the Tamron 20-40mm on my A7RV and my brand new A6700 with the Tamron 18-300. This APSC combo was so successful that I utilized this for close to 80% of my photos and even tried clear image zoom at 2x ( 900mm equivalent) with pretty good results when needed. If I really need a heavier very high resolution set up, then I can use my Sony 70-200 GM II, but then again we are talking about a lens that is almost twice the weight and 4.3 times the price and less “all-in-one”
Been waiting for this review. I already purchased the lens, but it was enjoyable to watch either way!
Thanks for sharing, my quest for affordable telephoto lens is now complete.. i will consider it and will buy soon. Thank you for lovely review
Your reviews are a must see for Sony APSC users, Arthur! Could you compare side by side this lens with the Sony 70-350?
Please, I would love to watch that comparison
Indeed, would love to see that, can't decide between 18-300 and 70-350
I had the Sony 70-350 and this Tamron 18-300. The Sony is very superior. I returned the 18-300.
@@asbjrnhagennielsen6560 superior in image quality? Sharpness? Chromatic abberation? Bokeh? Stabilization? Or in every way?
@@PatrickWithCamera Mainly sharpness at 300mm disappointing. Also grain (because of the f6.3 I belive).
The 28-200 2.8-5.6 is so much better.
All I needed to know. Going to order mine soon. Thanks AR🤜🏼
Just bought it--thanks for your review
Thanks for another awesome lens review @ArthurR :) gonna be a while before i decide on this lens though as I have just got my first ever full manual lens (Newer 35mm f/1.7 that you reviewed 5 years ago!!!!) and it inspired me to purchase it.
I love this review, now I need to get it!!!
Wow, I think I'm going to buy this lens! Super cool lens for bird photography, and exactly in my price range
Hello! What is the best or not expensive Vnd filter for tamron 18-300mm sony for video. I bought a k&f concept nano-d but when I zoom out to 200-300 mm the video is very noisy. Thank you for your response.
Got the lens...it is wonderful...thanks for the review
Several months ago, one of the professional photographers TH-cam channels did a video on a single lens camera he took on a cruise. In that video, he showed how you can get quality images from a budget all in one lens ( a Tamron lens). We carry two cameras, my a7r3 and her a6600 (she like the size and weight of the a6600 and will not use the larger camera). I am going to see if she will carry the camera and this lens, if so, we will buy on. Weight is everything with lenses. This is a good choice for travel by boat or air.
GREAT LENS! GREAT REVIEW!
Keeping it to 620 grams is pretty impressive. Paired with an a6400, the total weight is about one kilogram. For me that still makes it a viable travel lens. I’ll be interesting to see how many they sell and for what use cases. 🤔
Dream lens for a traveller
a great vacation lens :O that way I dont have to take a bunch of different lenses. love it
Thank you for this review. I appreciate your low-key presentation and excellent image examples - btw your models are both lovely (your family?). I have just bought a Fuji X-T4, and although I got the FX16-80 lens, I was looking at a one-solution unit that could come with me when travelling. I have checked several reviews and they all seem to be consistent in suggesting that this new Tamron unit is a worthy solution to my requirement - considering the vast zoom range, this unit is quite remarkable and most issues can be sorted easily in PP. Right now, my X-T4 has been stuck in the supply chain in Australia for three weeks (I live in NZ), so while I have got the Tamron unit, I shall have to patiently wait until the rest turns up to see how it performs!
We are in APS-C heaven. This + the Sigma 18-50 can cover almost anything the average person will ever need, and both are pretty cheap comparing to the competition. Hope there are more of such bargains coming out soon.
you're absolutely right. one light, small and bright, one that covers it all. i would say add a sigma 1.4 of your choice and you're done.
I alao suggest the Samsung 12mm f2, manual focus but great for astro or wide landscapes.
@@the_lost_navigator7266 You mean SAMYANG
@@sweatyalpaca yes, autocorrect often doesn't!
If you had to get only one of these 2 (Tamron 18-300 or Sigma 18-50), which one would you get? - Primarily for outdoor shooting in good light conditions
Thank you Arthur for your review of this lens. This review was directly linked for me to purchase based on your full and unbiased review; the samples were very helpful. You are right, at this time there isn't an all-in-one like this lens for the price. I am moving on from the Sigma 16mm 1.4 to this lens since the a6000 will be doing more wildlife and nature shots. The Sigma will be missed though. Also, thanks for mentioning the student discount, it is very hard to find this lens at a discount or on sale.
I'm so glad, I choose Sony apsc system, so many cheap and fantastic lens to buy😂💕
Things changed a lot in the last few years.
Just bought a Sony 70-350 mm this summer for a trip. Wish this one had been out then. Another great review.
The Sony 70-350 is much better, and has oss. The oss is really important up beyond 200mm.
I had bought at the same time, and kept the Sony.
Thanks for this review. I'm not going to run out and buy this lens right now, but I'm thinking about getting it. My everyday lens on the a6600 is the Sony 18-135, and I've been very pleased with it in terms of compact size, light weight, and satisfactory performance. This new 18-300mm would be the ideal travel lens for the extra reach. I will now pay attention to how often I am in a situation where I want a longer lens than the 18-135.
I have the sigma 16 and 56 1.4, but I’m looking for long distance one, and I’m between the Sony 18-135 or Tamron 18-300, which one do you thing is a nice one?
Get the 18-300mm, I currently have a fuji 50-230mm and the extra reach at the tele would be nice
Hi,i think that 18-135 is similar performer to 18-300, cost almost the same but tamron gives more reach. I recomend 18-300 no doubt
@@sarwita77 I owned both, sony 18-135 and tamron 18-300. I sold sony and did half a year with the tamron. I was very disapointed with the results in terms of sharpness and it is annoyingly big compared to the sony. I re-bought the sony and sold tamron in the end. The size and quality of sony is more important to me than the longer telephoto range. I added the Sony 70-350 for tele quality and am very satisfied with it. Tamron is versatile but lacks quality.
I bought this lens just today. I work on a whale watching boat over the summer and that is what this lens is for. Otherwise I use Sigma 16mm, Samyang 12mm, and 7Artisans 7.5mm to make other videos for this TH-cam channel. Thank you very much for the review.
I have the Tamron 18 - 200 for my Canon 1200D. I love it.
Thanks, A comparison with sony 18-135 plus sony 70-350 will be very appreciated 👍
this is like a great lense if I had a ZV-E10 this would be great fit!
Just bought this. Will have to see how it does on my A6700 and events.
I use Tamrons 18-400mm option. I love it. Available for canon & Nikon.
Will purchase for travel, replacing 18-200 Sony for a6600. Thorough review!
My EDC or close to hand kit in the car is 16-50mm and 55-210mm with close up lens and teleconverter. Seems this lens will be a more practical, improved option whilst keeping weight compromise to an acceptable level.
nice video, great pictures,
I am stuck in between of tamron 16-300mm and tamron 18-300mm
one day soon will get one of them anyway
I didn’t want to wait for B&H to get them in so I found that Procam in Laviona, MI had an “early release” batch (10) so I drove the fifty miles to pick one up. My purchase was at 4PM eastern just before your review was pushed.
Thanks for your review as you nailed my reasons for getting it as an “all-in-one” and the performance in the few short hours I’ve had it look fantastic! My opinion is that if you want perfect shots in multiple situations than multiple lenses would be better, however if you want all-in-one OR you are going on vacation and can only bring ONE lens than this 18-300 is for you.
In closing I’ll say that I have been waiting for this review as I place a high value on your testing/review but, I just couldn’t wait any longer when the opportunity came to pick one up. It all worked out as you confirmed my suspicions of the lens users like me. You are also one of the few English/non-Tamron reviews on TH-cam to date.
How much cost??
@@takrad981 $699 like everywhere else .
Thank you. Very good review and good len. I love it. Waiting for my len coming...
Thanks for the good unbiased review, thank you for helping us do informed purchase decisions. I used your affiliate link, hope that helps you continue your good work.👍
good review ... im getting one
Wow! Fantastic review. I don't plan to make videos, but I look for more universal lens. And this looks like an ideal choice. Thank you :)
Wish they would make a crazy lens like this for full frame
I'd love to see a comparison between this and Sony 24-240 FE
Definitely tempted by the 'all in one' prospect and that big focal range, especially for days when I don't want to carry a kit a bag. I have an A6000 and tend to use the Sony E 35mm and the Sony 70-350mm. However, given the overlap between this and the zoom I already have I'm not sure I can warrant the extra expenditure (given that the Sony was quite an investment). Do you have a view on the image quality of this Tamron with the Sony 70-350mm?
Great review.
Would love to see this compared to Sony 70-350m apsc lens. Especially on the telephoto end.
Could you do a review on the Tamron 18-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III vs Sony 70-350 lens.
Thank you.
@arthur I am interested to the same review, please could you do it?
As was already mentioned, this lens is probably an alternative not to Sigma 18-50 2.8 or Tamron 17-70 2.8, as it's darker and bigger, but to Sony 70-350. With the same size and apertures we get much more in terms of the focal lengths. I usually walk through the park with my Tamron 11-20 2.8 for the wide-angle shots, Tamron 17-70 2.8 for midrange and Sony 70-350 for taking photos of birds. So I have to change 17-70 with 70-350 really often. This lens seems to replace both of them. Tamron 11-20 2.8 and Tamron 18-300 seem to be a really cool duo for travelling.
Sony 70-350 is far better.
I have had them.
Now I am on Sony 70-200 f4 and Sony 18-105 f4 +50 1.8 - all oss lenses. Use at the a6500 that has Ibis as well - great solution 😁
Have you compared Tamron 18-300 with Sony 70-350? Quality & reach on the long range ? Does the extra 50mm matter especially for wildlife?
@@tanmaysakpalofficial Hi! I have both Tamron 18-300 and Sony 70-350. I almost never use Sony 70-350 because I don't find these extra 50 mm to really matter. I didn't compare these lenses side to side (a good idea for the video, yes), but I think Sony has an edge in stabilization (approx 1 stop). Tamron is a very universal lens and ideal for bright day photography.
@@AlexDunaykin thank you so much for the reply and your insights. Since you have both the lens, I think it'll be a good idea if you can do a detailed comparison between the 2 👍
@@tanmaysakpalofficial Thank you for your question! It inspires me to do videos. I didn't make videos for a long time, but now I see that you and other people in comments are interested in the comparison of Sony 70-350 and Tamron 18-300 and as long as I have these two lenses and I almost never use Sony it is a good idea to make a video about these two lenses and to decide what to do with them. I travel a lot now, but starting at September I plan to teach at school in Budva so I will stay for a long time in one place and be able to upack all my photo\video gear and to make reviews. Thank you for you inspiration again!
It certainly helps when testing a new lens to have a stunningly beautiful supermodel available as your subject on which to test the lens!!! ; ) Good for you, sir!
very impressive
Just preordered from B&H.
I will get this lens
Good review.own one did very well for travel ,macro/close up is this lens strong point though not the best but for the weight &size.
bought it for conference video production, paired with a6400, this is great lens. my other three a6300 are using sony 18-135. with that kind of setup I'm set for a looong time. image is IMHO a bit better than on 18-135, and that 300mm reach helps a lot
So which one is your favorite? I'm looking for a travel lens and am in doubt between the 18-135 as it's nice and compact on my 5100 and this Tamron 18-300 but I'm afraid it might be too bulky.
@@HighContrast89 for travel 18-135 is better as its super compact, i use 18-135 for travel all the time. 18-300 is really bulky
I am looking for an upgrade to my XC50-230mmF4.5-6.7 and Fuji recently launched the XF70-300mmF4-5.6 which costs more and does not let in all that much more light at 300mm. I gotta give it to Tamron on this amazing release!
I own the 50-230mm, I can personally see no reason not to replace it with the 18-300 except cost. It will provide better macro, longer reach, WR, higher IQ, almost the same size in camera bag. Will be a perfect compliment to my 23 f2 and 50 f2.
Looks like i did a good purchase.....just waiting to get it.....backorder......😁
Thanks for the review. I am disappointed that it is not a parfocal and that zooming in and out during video is not smooth but I may still get it exclusively for photography since I don't do a lot of video anyway. I own the e70-350 but I always seem to find myself switching lenses or using two cameras to cover the wide viewing angles.
Halfway though your vid and I purchased it. Obviously not 2.8 but I know that walking in to this purchase. For my zoo pictures this is perfect.
I'm not a telephoto shooter, but I like have a tele lens in my gears. I was looking for Sony 70-350mm but this Tamron may be a good solution to have the same focal range plus 18-70. That makes the Tamron a good solution for those who use rarely Tele lens and don't want spend money for a lens that they would use fore few time.
This lens has my curiosity for Fuji, I like the wide zoom range. Wonder how good the lens stabilization is for video?
Much depends on what Fuji you have. I just got the X-T4, specifically as it has IBIS and works well with the OIS of the lens. However I am not a videographer. I would recommend checking out videos from trusted sources like:
Justin Abbott
th-cam.com/video/BrVCg557YWM/w-d-xo.html
and Jake Sloan:
th-cam.com/video/2dk55irRpZ0/w-d-xo.html
terrrible
Nice little lens for the money. Definitely can see some flaws but for the money it really is your all in one lens.
The portraits are stunning ... normally would pass on a catch-all focal range, but the images are excellent. I wouldn't buy because I already have 24-70 and 70-200mm
i think this completes what in my opinion is, the complete APSC Sony kit: -
1. Samyang/Rokinon 12mm f2 -- vlogging/landscape/astro
2. Sigma 56 f1.4 - portraits
3. Tamron 18-300 - travel
Now all i need is money 😂
Perfect
Good choices but you'll need something fast for indoors. Maybe the viltrox 23mm 1.4? More money...
@@geopapa80 nah..23 mm is too much for my indoor needs...which is why i had to choose the 12mm. if i needed faster, i would have gone sigma 16 1.2. which is both wider and faster than the viltrox you mention. but i really need that 12mm. i also like taking pictures of skylines and building's facade..even 16mm, on an apsc doesn't do justice.
@@efficaciousuave The Sigma lenses (16, 30, and 56) are f1.4, not f1.2!
@@krishnastock corrected. Thanks! printing mistake! 😅
I bought it, I should receive by Monday
Thinking about it for my Fuji. Would like to see some reviews of the Fuji version but they don’t seem to be about at the moment. :(
Pictures very nice… thanks
considering it for my collection, I have been happy with my tamron 11-20 but I need other categories covered without breaking the bank.
Your son grownup so much 😍
I am planning on purchasing the Tamron lens. The other reviews were positive for outdoor work. Which is where I will be using it mounted to a Sony a7R IV. It should make up for any grainieness.
A micro four third version would be really nice. I suppose a bit too similar to Panasonic’s 14-140 (28-280) mm
Long time viewer, great channel Arthur!
Question (if you have time)...
Do you think this is worth replacing my Sony 70-350?
THX and have a great rest of your week :) - Brett
4:26 in the corners the little stains. Looks like your sensor picked up some dust or dirt. Its only visible when shooting with narrow aperture.
i would like to see how it compares to sony 18-135 in the same focal range
I ordered one for fuji
Paired with the new Sigma 10-18 mm lens (or the Tamron 11-20 mm lens) this gives you a powerful two-lens setup to work with.
This was looking like a compelling (and cheaper) alternative to the Tamron 17-70mm that I have been wanting. I'm glad you highlighted the issues with zooming and focusing in video mode which is my main interest. I'm back on the 17-70mm bandwagon. Also, best of luck with the kitchen remodel at 8:29. I know that headache all too well.
17-70 is a beast. I’ve been using it for video & photo and it’s amazing.
@@DennisMeetsWorld totally i in love with the lens!
Would you recommend this for a walkaround lens for personal shots while hiking and traveling?
Would you get this lens over the Sony 70-350mm? I’ve seen you have reviewed both but I’m curious if you would choose it over the Sony. I know this is an old video but not sure if you’re still commenting on this.
Nice
Hi @Arthur is worth using the Tamron 18-300mm to replace Sony 16-55mm f2.8 + Sony 70-350mm for travel? I do take video from time to time and photos in forest, so it’s low lighting. I can see that I will be saving heaps on weight alone and time from not changing lens. But in practice it seems the sharpness will be hard to achieve in low light, not to mention the wider end is a bit too narrow for landscape.
any plans on comparing tamron 18-300 with sony 18-105/18-135 and 70-350?
👍🏻 thank !
Great review 😁
This would appeal to me to take to the beach or dog park… changes lenses there isn’t ideal (sand, dust)
How about a comparison between this and the SEL18200?
Please compare this with the Sony 70-350G!
Very interesting lens for photography as you say - any chance of a side by side with Sony 18-135?
Looking for a comparasion between Sony 18135 and the Tamron 18300!
Not really my cup of tea, but it is cool to see Tamron rounding out their trifecta with the 11-20 2.8, 17-70 2.8, and now this. All at a 67mm filter size. Pretty satisfying.
Personally still freaking out about Sigmas 18-50mm f2.8. Can’t wait for it to ship.
I have the 17-70mm f2.8 and it’s amazing.
What made you go for the Sigma 18-50?
If you're looking for a cheaper alternative to the Sony 70-350, I'd say buy it. But for an everyday lens, get the Tamron 17-70 f2.8 or the Sigma 18-50 f2.8. Low light is pretty terrible with APS-C, so fast lenses are way more important on this platform than on FF.
Absolutely correct, just yesterday i tried shooting portraits with my D3300 55-200 at 70mm f/4.2, damn i had to keep shutter at 1/30 s ISO 400. I had ring light but it was not sufficient indoors.
@@amitkrupal1234 people seem to forget that 1.5x crop applies to everything. Which means that every stop of light you go down on FF is actually 1.5 stops on APS-C.
@@neogod29 That is not correct. The 1.5x crop does not apply to the light gathering ability of a lens. You use identical settings to achieve proper exposure regardless of sensor size. But, [given the same focal length] an APS-C sensor must be physically positioned at a distance 1.5x further from the subject in order to achieve the same framing as a FF sensor. So, the APS-C sensor will require a focal ratio of f/1.2 to match the depth-of-field presentation of the FF sensor.
@@Yougimpytube I don't know if you own both APS-C and FF cameras, but I do. I can tell you from first hand experience that APS-C cameras DO NOT gather the same amount of light. It's physically impossible. Even the diffent focal length changes the amount of light the camera gathers. The reason they mark everything the same, is to cause less confusion.
Arthur, what will be better - tamron 18-300 or sony 70-350 for crop-camera A6400, if i need 300-350 mm?
What camera would you recommend? The Sony A6400 or the A6600
Does the in body stabilization of the A6600 improve the quality of the pictures?
If I'm not mistaken Canon has two old lenses that are 28-280mm and a 35-350mm. The closest you get I think. I definately think I'll buy this and sell my Fujifilm 18-135mm. All for flexibility.
well So it's a decision between the 18mm-300mm and Sigma's 18-50mm f.28 but since I love the consistent f2.8 still wonder which would give the better result.
Can you make a video comparing stabilization for video and photos found in this Tamron lens, with other Sony lenses with OSS?
compare these once on a camera with no IBIS then again compare them with alphas with IBIS. This w=should tell us what is the best gimbal-free stabilization option for Sony apsc users.
I am thinking something like a6600 with this Tamron lens would be excellent for telephoto as at that long focal length every little shake gets magnified so perhaps this Tamron works in that respect better with a6600 IBIS???
Would Love to hear your feedback in case you do make a video on this topic.
Thanks! Have a great Day!
I've got the Sigma trio for my A6300 plus a newish Tamron 17-70. I'm looking to get a longer focal length zoom and can't decide between this lens (Tamron 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD) or the Sony E 70-350 mm F4.5-6.3 G OSS. I shoot video and stills (which I often print large) almost almost always on a tripod. Right now in Ontario, the Tamron lens is about $70 less than the Sony. I could sell my Tamron 17-70 i suppose and just have the one Tamron 18-300 or build on top of the 17-70 with the Sony 70-350. I'm just not sure which route I should go.
I am confused about choosing between tamron 18-300 mm f3.5 sony e and sigma 17-50 mm f2.8 sony e . Which is good ?
Well. As a travel lens this looks great but… the low light issue probably is a dealbreaker. I have the new Tamron 17-70, and paired with the Sony 70-350 on my a6600, it’s an excellent kit. Just that pesky lens swapping to deal with. But the Tamron 17-70 can do better in low light. So there you are. Very good review. THANKS!!!
We rock the same gear. Not just the pesky swapping to have in mind though. Our lenses are considerably sharper. Several reviewers confirmed this. For an unpretentious traveller, however, this lens is heaven.
We are rookies and just got the 11-20mm Tamron and have the 17-70. Thinking the next one would be the Sony 70-350. I wonder how annoying it really will be switching lenses
@@damonluvisi How are you liking your 11-20? I have it and although the weather sealing & f2.8 are great features, I find myself using my 10-18 f4 more often due to the OSS (shooting on A6100 & A6400: no ibis).
@@damonluvisi do you think is a goof combination to have 11-20mm and the 17.70 mm? would you purchase again both?Thanks
@@plgl76 so looks like it’s been a year already, honestly this camera is for my wife and she never uses the 11-20.
Thanks for unlimited samples..♥
