Nicely done, this was a lens I was really interested in from the minute it was announced earlier in the year, had it just over 2 weeks now and it surpasses all my expectations.
What amazes me is it is so sharp throughout the full range and loses nothing even at 150, I was so pleased with it I sold my Tamron 24-70 2.8 G2 lens I found it actually sharper!.
It is also so much more versatile with the longer reach, I have paired it with the Tamron 17-35 2.8-4 another fantastic lens, as a mainly Landscape photographer the saving in weight is substantial,
and shooting with a Nikon D850 I am amazed at the crispness of the images, it really is like a little bunch of primes.
Thankyou mate. Totally agree with your comments. It is surprisingly so sharp right through the zoom range. Extremely happy with the lens as well! I am pairing this with the Nikkor 16-35mm f4, similar to your setup, and couldn't be happier with these two lenses to travel around with.
Dont you mean it can fit up 45mp d850? Thats sounds amazing as a zoom lens. what you think abour 5ds, can it fit up 50mp dslr?
@@zhouxuanming3209 Yes, it is optimized for high-resolution sensors it is lovely and sharp on my D850 and it is quite unforgiving.
Is it really that sharp against tamron 24-70 g2?
Cs i just recently bought that lens and now iam feeling like i choose the wrong one with that hefty price 😭.
Thanks for your review. Mine should arrive in a few days, can't wait!!
You're welcome! You'll love the versatility and sharpness. For Canon or Nikon?
Canon :)
Great video, you answered every real life questions I had regarding this lens. Rarely to I shoot past 150mm, this will replace my 70-200.... Thank you
Thanks Tim. I really appreciate the feedback. All the best.
Nice job man! Great review. Thanks.
Thanks Daniel, much appreciated
Cheers mate! This is exactly the review i was after. Im thinking of getting this lens over the RF 24 105 f4.. Such a hard decision. Cheers once again!
Not a problem. I had been looking at the 24-105 f4 for ages, but just couldn't bring myself to get it, because it was never quite going to be enough range or the aperture I wanted. As soon as this lens was announced, it was like Tamron was reading my mind and I knew I had to get it.
@@ThePhantomPhotographer that is the exact dilemma i am in at the moment. Ive just been trying to find out if a 2x teleconverter would be compatible with the tamron - if so, im sold on it and i wont do any more research! 😜 Lol
Great review, thanks a lot. Like most I've been interested in this lens since Tamron announced it, finally got the wife's approval so will get mine in a week or so. Plan to use this along with Tamron's 10-24 as a "catch most" small travel kit, I shoot in DX format so the 17-35 doesn't really get me into the wide angle side of things.
Thanks for the comment John, appreciate it. You've got a similar story to me. Got to get approval from the manager (wife) first!! It's honestly a great lens. I have used it for some portrait work recently as well and I was even more impressed with the sharpness, contrast and bokeh. I was thinking of getting an 85mm prime as my next addition, but honestly think I don't need to now, as it is that good as a portrait lens.
It is a standard practice to turn Optical Stabilisation (VC) off when the camera is mounted on a tripod. I am surprised that you tried to leave it on during your testing upon a tripod. Otherwise a great review. It helped me to decide to buy the lens.
Hi there, yes correct it is a standard practice, just a helpful reminder for viewers as well. As I forgot one time myself! Thanks for the feedback and taking the time to comment. Much appreciated.
Excellent review sir, love from Kabul, Afghanistan
Thanks for the review mate! One of, if not the only, hands-on reviews on TH-cam at the moment :)
I didn't realise that there is software that creates more bokeh! Would have never crossed my mind -- is this an industry standard?
Thanks so much. I don't know if this is an industry standard, but here is the description from the lenses spec sheet: "Tamron has combined its many years of expertise in producing soft, beautiful bokeh defocus blur with the latest simulation technologies. As a result, the contrast between in-focus areas rendered accurately down to the fine details and backgrounds that gently blend into the scene produces a single high quality image."
@@ThePhantomPhotographer awesome! Learn something new every day! :)
i would have liked to have seen what 35mm is when zoomed into 1to1
Great video... N a great lens surely n I would like to get one... But boss is it possible for u show pics taken with this lens using a APS-c camera... Bcos in most of the videos on TH-cam all r using a full frame camera to show the pics... But how does it look on a apsc one... It would be quite helpful... Thanks..
If Tamron made an aps-c version of this lens (for example their 17-50mm F2.8) this lens would be a 24-100mm F1.8-2.7 lens and that would be a "pro" lens in my opinion. . So on full frame at 35-150mm you will get same equivalent performance. Sony sells an aps-c only 18-105mm F4 for $650 and that is F4 on an aps-c sensor. If you shoot Fuji your fastest zoom available is an F2.8 for $1200 and thats still an aps-c sensor. This is a pro lens in terms glass quality and VC, not too mention a little weather sealing. If this was built out of metal and was internal zooming it would be a true "pro" lens. This is a great lens for the money.
Great review. I'm looking at this lens to get one for myself. Would you recommend this one to use it on a cropped sensor?
Thankyou. I haven't tried it on my crop sensor camera yet actually, but I would image it would perform well. You just have to remember the crop factor, so the 35-150mm would turn in to around 52-225mm on average. Therefore you would not be able to compose for wide scenes as much, but you would get extra reach at the long end.
@@ThePhantomPhotographer Longer reach is actually what I'm looking for. I've got two good wide-angle glasses and the 18-105mm kit lens that I want to replace it with something longer, sharper, and with better aperture. This new Tamron seems to be a good option in terms of quality, size, and price of course. There is not much alternative on the market right now, I think. Especially for the copped-sensor cameras.
May very well be my next walk around. I like the focal range better than my 24-105 mm. This would mate perfect with my Tamron 17-35 mm OSD!
Gregory Foreman I’m thinking same..I have the 17-35 osd. Hmmm
very appreciate your review, i am in AUS as well, where did you you buy it, i only saw it on digidirect which sell for 1399 aud, I am pretty sure it much expansive than China official price( which is around 1100) and japan price.
I bought mine from Camera House. I had to make a few phone calls to different stores before I found one though. Camera House sold it for $1,299 AUD
The Phantom Photographer thx
@@ThePhantomPhotographer They also do free updates on Tamron lenses using their in-store tap-in console. I received an email the other week saying I can take in my 10-24mm whenever I want for them to update it (and yes, I absolutely love that lens!)
How does it pair up with a Canon 90D/aps-c ?
I haven't tested on Canon, however reports are that it is good on Canon mounts as well. You will just have to factor in your crop factor for the zoom as it is an apsc sensor. (ie times the zoom range by 1.5)
10:26 so you like magic girls too eh?
I came here to see a 70-200 alternate, what do you think of the lens? Is it sharp/ super sharp/ MAMAMIA SHARP AS FRICK?
Funny. It’s actually one of my daughters anime figures. But did the job as a focus point!
Dear, I bought this lens. Is a slight sound from the VR normal? as if it were a spring sound? I never felt anything like this ... I speak in a totally muted environment
Hi There, does it make the sound when you turn the VR off. Also, does it still make the sound when you mount it on a different camera? Generally speaking it should not be making any noise at all.
@@ThePhantomPhotographer Dear, exactly. I have 3 tamrons and all 3 make the same noise, only this one sounds much more noticeable, as does the spotlight. Thanks. It is with VR ON only
@@ThePhantomPhotographer with VR on. I test 2 more Tamron lens that i have, and all do this sound, but more slow. Thanks!
i don't want to be walking around with a bunch of lenses but i want the 10-18 and the 50mm and the 35-150mm. i think 4 lenses is alright but i would love for one lens to do the job instead of keep changing lenses so please help me out
Hey there, unfortunately you will not find any lenses out there that have a focal range of 10-150mm. There are plenty of 18-300mm type focal length lenses. Unfortunately i don't think any of them are that great from an image and build quality perspective. Also these lenses will have a variable minimum aperture, like f4-6.3, so will not have the greatest depth of field or low light capabilities
@@ThePhantomPhotographer hey i want a lens that's great in low light if this is the only lens i need then i want to buy one. and if the auto focus is fast then that's great. i have a canon 400d 10.1 megapixels and the lens on there is alright but i want something better than my tamron 18-200. if the lens is great in low light and have a fast auto focus then i need to jump on that. what do you think about the tamron 15-30 i love that one. and what you think about the tamron 85mm lens. like you said i want a lens that i can do everything with. i never knew there was a full frame camera so i want to buy me a full frame camera and what do you think about the canon 6d and i want the canon 80d and that's it. 3 cameras is all i need and 4 lens
1. tamron 35-150
2. tamron 15-30
3. canon 50mm
4. tamron 85mm
tell me what you think about everything i said
Will this lens work perfectly with Fuji xt4 and fringer adapter??
Hi There, I haven't tested the lens adapted to Fuji sorry. My best advice would be to take your camera to a retailer who sells the lens and test it out. All the best.
The fstop change when you zooming or it's stuck on fstop you set?
Hi There if you are in Shutter priority, then your Aperture will change automatically.
Can u recommend this for wedding? Considering that it becomes f4 at what, 100mm
I recently did some portrait work with this and I can say yes I would recommend. the Bokeh is still great at f4 at the long end. The bokeh spheres are perfectly round and image is amazingly sharp and has good contrast
@@ThePhantomPhotographer thanks sir appreciate it
Sold the lens?
Nope. Still use it🙂
F22?
Hi Alex, Yep. when you are zoomed in f22 is able to be achieved.
@@ThePhantomPhotographer so you're not able to change whatever mm you are in?
@@alexpadillayt Yes you can if you are in Aperture Priority or Manual mode on your camera. On this lens, if you are at 35mm you have an aperture range of f2.8 to f16. If you are zoomed in to 150mm, you have an aperture range of f4 to f22.
@@ThePhantomPhotographer thank you for your help
@@alexpadillayt Most Welcome!
