Do YOU Agree? Is the Tamron 17-28mm a FANTASTIC sequel?! Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8: bhpho.to/2XMAwwT Tamron 28-75mm: bhpho.to/2FmUHDq Sony GM 16-35mm f/2.8: bhpho.to/2FBt0aS
Its du bomb! It lives on my A7iii now. Its close friend (28-75mm) is always in my bag now. Love the wide look and I didn't know about those auto correct settings! I will have to make sure they are on. Thanks!
@@josephyang3260 I pre-ordered the second it was available at B&H....I kept refreshing the page that day till it was available and then had all my payment info saved.
Tamron's absolutely killing it with their e-mount glass. I was so impressed with the 28-75 that I pre-ordered the 17-28 shortly after it was announced. It arrived the other day and I'm loving it. The size, weight and internal zoom make it especially handy for gimbal work. These lenses feel like native glass and for that Tamron should be applauded. Here's hoping they release a 75-210 f2.8 with OSS that's no bigger than a typical 70-200 f4.
Let us take a moment and appreciate the fantastic quality of Vong Productions! Top-Notch, bro! Thank you! Personally, I had the 28-75mm, and was waiting for the 17-28mm to get my hands on. Then I realized that I use the 35mm very frequently and the 50-75mm range not that much...because of switching lens to the 85mm f/1.8 prime....or 70-200mm f/4. It meant that 16-35mm would give me more flexibility without swapping lenses. And I got a used 16-35mm GM ...so sold the 28-75mm. Now my go to landscape setup is 16-35mm GM and 70-200mm f/4. and Portrait set up is new Tamron SP 35mm f/1.4 (adapted) and Sony FE 85mm f/1.8. I think my GAS is resolved for now.
Scripting, Production, editing is fantastic Jason.. I want you to know I believe it is translating to better views in my opinion. When something new comes out I actually end up waiting for you to release something because of the consistent, and increase in overall quality of what I mentioned above as well as you quite simply just keep getting better and better at delivering useful information. (And you where always great from the beginning) so I appreciate all the extra work and time you spend.
appreciate the kind words man! I wanted to have several test videos out before this huge review but ended up not being able to due to time... and sony's ridiculous amount of new product launches bahahaha
Jason Vong it’s a tricky balance. Lower production value/information to be among the first to release information - versus - over producing and being too late.. Moderation is where you’re at and usually the right answer in most things in life. ❤️
Copping both of these lenses. I've been researching the last week looking for good reviews on the wide before I buy my first full frame lenses for Sony, and this review came just in time!
I absolutely love the 28-75, so much so that I had to pre-order the 17-28 as soon as it was available. I am now so impressed with both that I’d find it extremely hard not to get a 70-200 range if they came out with one - but my 70-200mm f4 from Sony is my favourite lens so I’d find it difficult to say goodbye to it!!
Thank you Jason. I have this lens and am planning a trip to the Smoky Mountains this fall. The Tamron 17-28 2.8 in addition to my Tamron 28-75 2.8 with my A7iii should be all I need.
Awesome video Jason! this lens is awesome. I literally just got this lens, along with the 28-75mm! I shared my first impressions of it on my channel and i can't wait to use it over the next few weeks before i can give a detailed review too. Love your reviews so much!
After spending August in Europe with this lens I have to say, it is gorgeous and amazing to use. Its wonderful for catching amazing landscapes and beautiful structures. It's ability to get real close to the subject allows for great depth of field.
@@JasonVong I can certainly understand your excitement! I have just been waiting for some positive production model reviews on this lens before I ordered! Good thing that I am patient as supplies will be thin. One question, Jason- I am also considering the 24 f1.4GM, that is why I haven't pre ordered the Tamron . Hmm, can I justify owning both ; is there a realistic use case ? (besides just wanting the prime, ha,ha!) Any thoughts or am I experiencing G.A.S......
Agree here too. While I CAN afford the G Master that doesn't mean I want to drop 3.3k CAD on it >_> especially since it lacks a number of Sony's latest lens tech (like the XD motors) and Sony's current GM build quality.
Just picked up this lens to go with my Tamron 28-75 and it is absolutely impressive. Not even thinking about the 16-35 F4 or GM. Now I have all my focal lengths covered and am set for life. Of course that's what I told myself not too long ago lol
Great review as usual, love your style bro :) I can't believe no-one commented on your flippy screen comment aimed at Kasey, our favorite canadian conspirator lol. Gotta love ya guys, u rock
@@JasonVong Indeed it was!! I was torn between Tamron 17-28 or Sony GM 16-35 but looking at picture quality, functionality and factoring in the cost I am mostly going with Tamron 17-28 and the money which will be saved from not buying Sony 16-35, I will end buying Tamron 28-75 too.
Great video Jason! I already have the 28-75 and I ordered this one almost a month ago but it’s still not available. Im excited to see wide for the first time!
Haven't found a use for an ultra wide angle zoom as I'm more of a Wildlife person but competition is always nice to see. I'm really looking forward to see if they do complete trilogy with that 70-200.
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC VIDEO!!!!!very well done, jokes are great, explanation is great, everything is great. Love you and your videos!!!! Thnaks for sharing and thanks for making this a super enjoyable video to watch. Saludos desde México amigo!!!!
Ok this may be the best review on youtube ^_^ I have the Sony 10 - 18 on my A6400 for gimbal and 28 - 75... now I want this lens after watching this video haha.
I just got this lens. I love it! Very light. I also have the 28-75. Looking forward to a 75-200(205?). Great video as always bro. As for the Baywatch audition....stick to your TH-cam videos. ✌️
amazing review. Love the script. funny and very informative. one of the best reviews yet. I currently have Sony 16-35 Zeiss OSS F4. Not sure if it is worth the switch. Would love to hear your thoughts.
I’ve had my Sony camera for a few months now and never new about the lens comp. 🤣🤣 so you got me a new lens and have a good tip 👊🏾👊🏾 I’m a dance Videographer ... if you have any good tips I’d love to hear them
Hi Jason! I have a question :-) I bought the Sony A7iii today and I would like to buy a tripod. I'll be using the A7iii for video shooting (covers on my Channel) and I have no idea what (manfrotto?) tripod to get. Thanks in advance! :-) (oh and would you recommend me to buy the Sony 85mm 1.8 lens for video or the Tampon 28-75mm f/2.8 or maybe another lens?)
I shoot with both full frame (A73) and crop-sensor (A6600 and A6400). I love the 28-75mm f/2.8 Tamron with both formats. For wide angle work, I have the 11-20mm Tamron which only works on the crop camera (unless I want to shoot in crop mode on my A73. I am not a great lover of UWA photography and am thinking seriously about switching from the 11-20mm Tamron to the 17-28mm f/2.8 lens. I think that I will use this lens more often since I can use it on both crop and full-frame bodies.
This review was REALLY helpful. Thanks man. Glad I stumbled upon your channel! I’m just ordering my first mirrorless, the A7 iii, and am choosing this lense and the 27-75 to start of with. Despite them being 67mm diameter, would you suggest getting the largest filter I can, and using step up rings? As I’ll no doubt get more lenses in the future, n seems better than buying the same filter in different sizes. (Freewell magnetic system good to go for I’m told?) Cheers buddy!
Watched another video about this lens and apparently the internal zoom opens up a gap between the glass allowing dust to potentially get through and end up underneath the glass since there is no secondary glass to protect it like the 28-75. Any thoughts on how to avoid that?
Hi Jason. I'm gonna buy Sony A6300 for filming. But I've been using Nikon DSLR and Nikon lens for 10 years, so I wonder, Is there a mount for Sony A6300 to use with Nikon AF-D lens? And could it set the exposure of Nikon lens? Many thanks!
Sometimes the images look better with lens correction off so if you already have lens correction baked in, you can't remove it. Sometimes the vignetting is too hard (bright) and the distortion correction is too hard as well (oval). I run all my lenses with everything off but w/ the 24-240mm lens correction cannot be disabled.

Is the Tamron 17-28 still living up to it in 2023?
As usual, great video. Super informative and entertaining
Hopefully the 17-28 success will boost the production of a 70-200😩🙏🏾
Dominick I need the 70-200, but that price tag is insane. I would love to see it released by tamron before the end of the year
@@stevenleflar5152 they have a 70 300mm lena already. And its not even expensive.
@@landmine8206 lol are u really comparing a 70 200 2.8 to a 70 300? 🙄

My personal hope for a sequel with Tamron is the 70-200 f/2.8! I can't afford the G Master version. 😅
c'mon 70-200 Tammy!!!
@@JasonVong everyone forgets it'll be a 75-200 or 200 + like 205 since they are keeping those numbers odd
Agree here too. While I CAN afford the G Master that doesn't mean I want to drop 3.3k CAD on it >_> especially since it lacks a number of Sony's latest lens tech (like the XD motors) and Sony's current GM build quality.
@@BespokeFotografie More likely 75-185 to save on weight and size

Why not make a short movie that your fans can watch? You would be great on a comedy sketch. Just saying. 😁
more than likely it's going to be a 75-200 or something like that, to stick with the lengths they have been doing.
I'll be happy if it's 75-185ish but size and weight is the same as 28-75... My 2cents
Does the lens have image stabilization?

Great review. I can't wait for them to finally be in stock. You also got my vote for the next Baywatch movie. 😂
Where can I get those ND filters that he has? I love how you can just pull them up if you dont wanna use them and then pull them down when you do?

Mine's arriving today... can hardly wait :)
how long ago did you order? been waiting on mine for weeks

Hello!
This lens is high on my list. I also really want a 70-200 and the Zeiss 55mm.
Please do Tamron 17-28 vs Sony 16-35 f4!
Yes
i use it and its so amazing on a7iii its worth it actually, thanks for the review.
Hi Jason, skin tones looks good. It is no picture profile, just standard?
I have both zooms and a tamron prime really sounds interesting to me
Nice Zelda reference with that scream and a great review. 👍
Hey Jason, can you please recommend which one to get for A7R III for photography mainly. Tamron 17-28mm or Zeiss 18mm f1.8 ?

Sometimes the vignetting is too hard (bright) and the distortion correction is too hard as well (oval). I run all my lenses with everything off but w/ the 24-240mm lens correction cannot be disabled.
