I took my 17-28 and a7iii deep sea fishing yesterday, and I got unexpectedly nailed by a rouge wave and of course I was soaked along with my gear. Happy to report that all is good, no issues!
After 3 years with this lens, i can say it is the best wide lens for photo/video on gimbal. Perfect for the Sony a7c. I have also their 70-300 which is incredibly lightweight and very good as well. Now they have 50-300 that probably i would take to get standard zoom at 50. The 50-400 is maybe even better but double the weight. I think 17-28 and 50-300 covers a lot of things. Especially in video where you really have 17-42 and 50-450.
Longer pause before that “loser” next time. 😂😂 Well done!!! Own this lens. I’m working on my indoor/event photo review. You inspired me to get on it!!!
You have definitely convinced me for the tamron 17-28mm. I was unsure between this one and the Samyang 18mm f2.8 for half of the price, weight and size. But you did a great explanation for several uses with the zoom ranges. Thanks 👍🏻 and you’ve got another subscriber 👌
I consider to buy this and the 28-75 when (or if) I upgrade to full frame next year. It is an advantage with 16-35 and 24-70, they overlap. With the two Tamron I must switch lens much more often.
Hi Lee! 1) Have you used any ND filter for cinematic feeling in the clip, if so which one? How did you reached the effect? 2) Look at the girl at 2:10 What have you done to make her skin look soooo smooth, have you applied any effect afterwards, if so which one???? Thanks!! /Dennis
@@LeeZavitz Which lens can you recommend for video filming (b-roll, commercial) Tamron 17-28mm f2.8 or Sony 24mm f/1.4 G Master? I'm really worried about GM auto focus and missing zoom, but GM seems to be better at blurry background and colors. th-cam.com/video/GCqbEiNrTQE/w-d-xo.html
this video came out when i was just thinking about picking up this lens. I had a 50mm prime lens, the nifty fifty and was considering this wide angle lens to fuck around with. Thanks Lee :)
Hi. I m looking for a wide lense for my a7iii....I m bit confused between 20mm 1.8g and 17-28 Tamron,... Price wise Tamron is slightly cheaper....pls advise which one is more sharper and good for filmmaking?
Alexa B if you are starting out with no experience at all. Getting something like a dslr is a good idea to learn the controls. But there is a major shift in photography now and I would recommend something like the new Sony a6100 Or even cheaper a used a6300.
@@LeeZavitz I will. definitely look into both and compare. My interest is mostly landscape, but portraits may also be an option from time to time. Thank you for taking the time to answer me
Hi Lee: Thanks for creating and providing this review. I don't have a wide angle lens yet but I have been considering this lens. Have your thoughts on this lens changed in anyway over the past 18 months? Would you still recommend it? Regards, Keith (Barrie, Ontario)
I tried this once and it has serious focus issues. Need to wait for a73 firmware update before i reconsider it But... sigma 14-24 e mount seems a better value in the long run esp im renewing an interest in astrophotgraphy
do you think plastic is less weather proof then metal. cuz thats not how it works. tamron is known for the weather sealing. did you notice it doesnt extend when zoomed. its much better sealed then the gm.
I’ll save more and better get 1635 GM. This lens might be good, but biggest disadvantage for me is front hole. When you zoom in/out it’s easy for sand/dust go into lens body.
Sony full frame lenses are as large as DSLRs with prices to match. Perfect for pro work, if you don't mind the weight. Tamron and Sigma is on the right path, both in price and size...
@@zabtej1645 Less emotions, more logic. The 16-35GM is objectively one of the best, if not THE BEST ultra wide zoom on FE platform. The constant f2.8, useful 16-35 range, terrific sharpness across the frame, good weather sealing, 11 blade aperture, great build and portable size make it a top lens. The only thing I can think of that comes close is the Sigma 14-24 2.8 and Sony 12-24, but both lack in focal range or speed.
I'm really excited to release my NEW high-quality Lightroom Presets! They are the same ones I use on my edits! Find them here: ClassicPorts.com
Was hoping you'd cover this lens. Glad to hear you like it. Been considering getting it.
Gerald Undone just do it.....so good

can someone please tell me if this is a good lens for Concert / Rave videos? videos of DJ's etc? i will need to be zooming in and out

Theres no way I'd be without the Tammy Twins. Great performance and value. Curious about the new zoom they have coming next year. Cheers man!

do you recomend this lens over the sony 20 mm 1.8?

the disadvantage of the 16-35 and 24-70: with the extra money you're spending you could probably buy 5 or 6 hundred big macs
@@timxu6631 Sure, but for landscape photography we can buy the f/4 versions. We never use 2.8 anyway. f/11 is our favorite aperture.
@@TVe200 oh that's my bad, i thought you were talking about the gm versions.

Yes I use ND filters. I just started using these from Moment and they are amazing moment.8ocm68.net/jogb6
@@LeeZavitz Oh, thanks! What can you say about Polar Pro Peter McKinnon Edition, can you reach the same cinematic look or better?
@@LeeZavitz Which lens can you recommend for video filming (b-roll, commercial)
Tamron 17-28mm f2.8 or Sony 24mm f/1.4 G Master? I'm really worried about GM auto focus and missing zoom, but GM seems to be better at blurry background and colors.
th-cam.com/video/GCqbEiNrTQE/w-d-xo.html
Can’t wait for that 70-180 I can have my Tamron holy trinity 😅 great video as always!
Would you go with this or the 20mm f1.8 g lens?
this video came out when i was just thinking about picking up this lens. I had a 50mm prime lens, the nifty fifty and was considering this wide angle lens to fuck around with. Thanks Lee :)
THANK YOU for posting this. In the market for a wide angle!
Thanks for the video. Toronto is beautiful. I'm thinking of buying this lens for an A7sIII.
Good review Lee. This is a great company for several reasons. This lens is one of those examples. I would use Tamron lenses again.
@Lee Zavitz Would love to know your take on the new Sigma 14-24mm f2.8 for Sony E mount
Did you feel you needed a lower f stop?
best Review So Far!
you got me sold on it. nice video Lee
Only a few lenses are good enough for the 60 mpix of the A7R4. Is this one of the few?
You should of worn a canon cripple hammer t-shirt.

I have the Tamron 28-75 and i think to get the Tamron 17-28 or the 24 F1.4 GM. What do you think?
Excellent review, Lee.
Like your color grading man!
ive had this lens since it came out. it's an amazing lens!
Have you tested the 17-28 on a A7iv? On that camera the 28-75 corner image quality falls apart.
What camera do you recommend to a beginner? DSLR or One Piece? ( I apologize, I forgot its name) Thanks!

Do,you have to be in apsc mode on a Sony full frame?
No it’s a Fullframe lens
@@LeeZavitz just ordered one for my Sony a7ii. Looking forward to this zoom lens
I NEED all 3, great video
CAN ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME WHICH ONE IS BEST FOR WEDDINGS TAMRON 17 28 OR ZEISS 16 35 IN MY NEW SONY A7III PLEASE TELL ME GUYSS ????
I tried this once and it has serious focus issues. Need to wait for a73 firmware update before i reconsider it But... sigma 14-24 e mount seems a better value in the long run esp im renewing an interest in astrophotgraphy
so you choosed sigma or tamron?)
torn between this one, sigma 20 1.4 and the laowa 12mm....what lens was this video shot on?
MrG Tamron 28-75 f2.8
Would you recommend this lens for filming (+a7II) on a ronin sc? Should work?
love this vid man!
How quiet is this autofocus? I haven’t seen anyone touch on this subject. Great review otherwise tho
Pretty much silent. Very similar to Sony native lenses
I like your lens reviews... I bought this lens and I love it
Is it good for APC cameras?
Sure but then it's not a wide zoom any longer. The new 16-55 f/2.8 from Sony is much more versatile.
Would you replace your 24GM for it????
I don’t have that lens but if I did I would only buy it for the f1.4 aperture. Other wise I’d get the Tamron 17-28 or Sony 16-35
The tamron lenses look great I just wished the focal lengths were wider. They would be more appealing.
Super solid lens lives on my camera.
what pp and luts do you use?
HLG2 and I just grade it to how I like. Not luts
A nice option for an aps-c camera too :D
Very useful, thanks
Question to all.... for everything travel, This or the 24gm?
anything, but a g master
Lóránt Mályinkó how come, price?
70-180 I hope it’s coming out soon
Awesome video.
These affordable third party lenses are really making me question sticking with Fuji and apsc.
Why??? Fuji makes some of the best lenses on the market for their apsc cameras.
Music on point
I bought it today 😁 super happy
do you think plastic is less weather proof then metal. cuz thats not how it works. tamron is known for the weather sealing. did you notice it doesnt extend when zoomed. its much better sealed then the gm.
It does extend on the inside you can see it moving in and out. I wouldn’t call it sealed until you put a UV filter on it.
Just ordered lens for my a7iii
Amazon link sends me to Tamron 28-75mm
Thanks I fixed it. That's what no sleep will do to a guy haha
I’ll save more and better get 1635 GM. This lens might be good, but biggest disadvantage for me is front hole. When you zoom in/out it’s easy for sand/dust go into lens body.
Why go wider u can just stitch 2 images together in post lol

Nice music dude
Niiiiine blades!!
This lens has very soft corners , certainly not comparable to GM
:D that g master is a lifeless shitlens! certainly the most important thing about a lens is the corner sharpness of course

That autofocus was pretty quick
Damn... that theme music be hitting! taking me back to the 80s when I was like 1 years old
If you mum said! I have to buy 😂😂😂
Wish there was a Canon mount for this lens so I could connect it via my speedbooster
zoom range kills it for a lot of pros.
17-28 is VERY tight range. Better a fix lens...
But then.....how is the new sigma 12-24mm art lens....in comparison
second time seeing someone talk about this
lmao! Everyone watches Camera Conspiracies...
I just bought this lens because his mom told me to.... 😂
McNidas my mom approves 👍🏼
Wow it's Amazing💣💣

If you disliked this video give a thumbs down twice hahaha class
Notice me senpai
Haha give it a thumbs down twice 😂
Not sure on which planet are you on but on planet earth it was available everywhere weeks ago and still is.
Yaaa! Its not a must have lens though. Sony GM 16-35mm F2.8 is actually far better.
