- I'm not fanatical about gear, I just like gear that does the job well and that's why i use this lens 90% of the time. The Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 has been my go-to for 3 years now and i'm in no rush to replace it.
In this video I talk about why this lens is the best value proposition and show you a load of photos and video clips shot with the lens. It's not about specs, it's about seeing what this lens can do and, more importantly, what it could do for photographers of any ability and genre.

Thanks for watching everyone! What are your thoughts on third party lenses? 📸
I got the VXD version of this lens a week ago and LOVE it. In fact, I had just purchased the brand-new Sony FE 24-50mm F/2.8 G lens that came out a week ago and returned it for Tamron. Yes, the Sony lens was very good but I like the results from the Tamron more. This will be my primary lens and I especially look forward to using it during my travels.
Just upgraded my Tamron 28-75 to the G2 version. You can’t beat it. I used the G1 for the last 4 years and it got an absolute beating 😅
Ah congrats man! I bet the 2nd gen version is awesome! These lenses really do withstand a lot! My G1 is still going strong despite getting absolutely soaked numerous times in Eryri National Park this week 😅
@@chrisharveyphotography Yeah mine was a necessary upgrade from the G1, but it’s such an incredible lens I had to get it again. I use it for EVERYTHING!
Great video! I especially love your landscape images.
Thanks so much Jason, really appreciate the kind words and thanks for watching! Photographing the landscape is definitely my passion when it comes to photography so I’m glad to hear you enjoyed those images in particular 👌🏻
Love the images mate.
The 1st Gen Tamron 28-75 is still a solid performer although I'm looking to purchase the much improved G2 version.
Great video 👍🏼💯
Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed the video! 🙏🏻
i'm looking into getting this lens right now and your video was most helpful. thanks a lot!
Thanks so much for watching and for leaving a comment! Great to hear you found this helpful! It’s a great lens - I’m still using it as my main lens 👌🏻😊
Great review my man! I also still have the G1 and I love it. The G2 would be nice, sure, but I can't warrant giving up a lens that's already so great!
Thanks man! So glad you enjoy the lens - I totally feel the same way 👌🏻 it’s really great!
I saw a test here on TH-cam that the old version of this lens is better in low light auto focus. I've heard this before with another lens the Panasonic 14-140mm Micro Four Thirds super zoom. With the older one having better auto focus in low light. I don't know why but I'm guessing maybe the extra coating they put on the glass can effect the auto focus in low light.
Depending on what kind of photography you do the older lens might be better for somethings.
bro nice video.
tamron 28-75 is my lenscap aswell.
Thanks so much dude 🙏🏻
Please record what kind of post-production you use in dji mic. They sound great.
Thanks so much! Glad you like it! It’s just some compression and some EQ (mainly boosting some of the low frequencies)
Nothing much wrong with those pics and I've been impressed enough to subscribe. As for gear? Nikon fixed focal length lenses except for a 35-70mm f3.5 AIS zoom. Goes as follows..20mm f1.8 G, 24mm f1.4 G, 50mm f1.4 G, 60mm f2.8 D Macro, 105mm f1.8 AIS 135mm f2.0 DC and a 200mm f4.0 IFED Macro. Still use film and have a Nikon F4E and a Nikon F5 50th anniversary, It is the photos that count and all the gear on earth does not make anyone a great photographer.
Nikon is light years behind canon Sony and now Panasonic. So sad. Now is the time to make the switch
Hi chris, are you a professional photographer? I want to biy this lens for photogroahy and videography needs. Is it professional enough? I am really inspired by the lightweight nature of this lens.
Hi! Yes, i'm a Professional Photography and I shoot commercially for video and photo across multiple industries and I've never once had a complaint about the image quality of the photos produced by this lens. It's still my main professional lens and it's never let me down!
@@chrisharveyphotography wow! Thanks for sharing this. I feel very confident about potentially buying this lens
Hi mate, please what sort of ND filter are you using?
Thanks for watching man! I use the Kase ND filters
Tamron is trash. Over price hyped up lens. I had both Tamron's, 28-75 & 28-200mm. The Tanron 28-75mm is a bit better than the Sony kit 28-70mm, but not $800.00 dollars worth. The best budget one lens does all, plus it's a Sony is the Sony FE 24-105mm f4 OSS. Plus you get OSS. And you can get them used for about $600.00 (why buy new?). Plus, it's a Sony native lens. F4 is fine with these new camera now days. I don't know of many ppl that go around shooting in the dark... ppl need to stop wasting their money on these useless HYPED up products.
lol! You go around every video posting the same comment. Grow up! If you can’t afford it let those who can afford it enjoy it. A 2.8 aputure lens is not the same as f4.
@@JF.. I had the 45 f1.8. Tamron could not fix it under warranty. It was crap.
