I have this lens and just got an a7iv to pair it with. I had been using it with an a7c. I was using a small rig cage to get a bigger grip to help with the weight of the Tamron. It definitely feels better on the a7iv but it is still heavy. I use the Peak Design Cl-3 clutch and it makes a huge difference after a day of shooting. Other than that, it is an amazing lens. It is super sharp and the bokeh is great. It is great to be able to keep shooting instead of switching to a 50mm, 85mm or 135mm. I now use my FE 20mm f/1.8 on my a7c if I need a wider shot. I’m really happy with this lens especially because it took me almost a year to find one in stock. I’ve had it for 6 months now and do not regret the purchase at all. The good news is that they are readily available now. Buy one. Also, the ability to customize the buttons on the lens through the lens directly is also awesome.
@@hazzard It feels good but I would recommend getting a grip if you are going to be using it all day or a thumb holder/grip that slides into the hot shoe. I also used the peak design capture clip on my backpack and that helped a lot as well. I used it a lot without anything but the body and it was fine. It just depends how big your hands are. You’ll love the Tamron. I recently used it in NYC and on a cruise and the versatility is fantastic. I also carry an FE 20mm f/1.8 for wider shots.
Ive been taking photos for 15 years so it's less about the tools for me. I was confident enough after reading reviews and seeing photos from the lens to know it would perform just fine. 😁
Great video, makes a change form the usual technical guff from people who don't shoot anything! I'm considering at this for my Nikon bodies, looks a stellar travel lens too! Shame it couldn't be f2.8 all the way and have less bulk!
What I don’t like about using this lens is only user consideration… NOT the lens. So, it does have a variable minimum aperture. Do yourself a favor and just dial in a 2.8. If you dial in anything faster at your wider angles, you’re going to drive yourself nuts as the aperture changes when you zoom in, which will need to either need to change your iso or ss to accommodate.
Yeah this doesn't bother me at all. One I use flash for a lot of indoor stuff so that basically covers it and if I'm shooting outside my shifter speed is over 1/1000 anyway so a slight shift in shutter speed to fix the drop in light really doesn't take long or cause much disruption. I'm quite used to changing settings on the fly.
Great and informative video. But please stop using the film-imperfections-animation around the images. It is incredibly distracting and annoying. I wish I can one day justifying buying this lens.

I wish I could afford one! 😅
@@JackWoodhams I sold my 24-105mm f/4 and some music gear to help cover the cost for mine.
How does it feel with the a7c? I just got my a7cii. I was thinking about buying this lens for travel.

Great video. Love how you interspace photos with the discussion.
Thanks so much! 🙏
When using prime lens for weddings, you absolutely need two bodies or you either miss shots or risk dropping your lens or damaging your sensor
you're very brave taking a lens that you use for the first time on a paid job, especially to a wedding :) amazing work btw

@@JackWoodhams tell these people! Just because you can't doesn't mean I can't! Two different skill sets!!
I'm glad you touched on the long end of "is 150mm enough" solid video. short n' sweet
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment 🙏

Love this. My beautiful Sigma 85mm f1.4 Art is sadly gathering dust at the moment - my 35-150 hasn't come off the body in months, haha.
Exactly what I needed to know :) Thanks.. Will buy this today :)
Hopefully you guys enjoyed my latest video! What do you think of the Tamron 35-150mm?
Thanks for the video, really helped my decision making
Great review! Bride look like Kate Hudson.
when does the aperture change?
Guaranteed when you zoom in
Quickly. May as well choose 2.8 if you’re going to be zooming in and out.
Thanks for great video
Hi please advise is it necessary to buy sony 50mm f1.8 if I have Tamron 35-150
Depends. 1.8 is a benefit but you've got a 50mm on the 35-150
How does this video have 1000 views and no comments?! 🤨If you're watching this, let me know!
Hi I'm watching :) Fantastic video with concise and honest experiences. I would be interested in getting this lens in stead of the 24-70 GM II.
@@lucas_yinghao I think the price makes it 100% worthwhile and the extra range Vs 70mm would be worth it
@@JamieLahr thanks
I've had this lense for 3 years and I have an issue where it goes to manual and I have to reset it all the time, ANYONE else have this issue?
I think i need to sign up for the gym first before handling this lense all day
Do it and reap the benefits of both the amazing lens & getting fit 💪📸

Using Auto-ISO makes this problem disappear.
@@juergenkuprat5130 great suggestion! I have to get over my need for total control I guess! Lol
Meh.. No 24 at the wide end, no option. Maybe its a good one for the 2nd shooter
Two cameras, one with a 16-35 and one with 35-150 👌

Thanks for your feedback and glad you enjoyed the video. :)
