20 Minutes of NEW YORK POV PHOTOGRAPHY | Tamron 17-70MM F2.8

[@AufKohleGeboren]

Well done video, I really like that you are still going strong on the APS-C setup and didn’t follow the „I must have full frame to be competitive“ trend 👌🏻

[@JimmyShixin]

thank you! Yea I'm still a strong supporter of APSC and truly believe you can get v far with "medium" level gear - that doesn't mean I'll never upgrade but it'll likely be the newest sony APSC 7000 or whatever it is once it (hopefully) comes out

[@Gelly_Bones]

So this is what you've been up to! These shots are amazing, especially the nighttime ones, I'll never get bored of those! Looking forward to the next video with the telelens 👌

[@JimmyShixin]

[@JimmyShixin]

cheers man! feel free to drop me a msg on IG if you need any location suggestions :)

[@brandonhoang9645]

do you think that the size/weight is over exaggerated on an APSC sony? camera?

[@JimmyShixin]

What do you mean over exaggerated? In my experience APSC and most their lenses are much lighter which is why I like using it for travel photography

[@Tom_77777]

Great video man, looking forward to heading back to NY with my camera one day!

[@JimmyShixin]

[@JimmyShixin]

thanks Igor!

[@MinhHa-zu8pg]

Thank you for the nice review, nice pictures with amazing presets! Have you tried the sigma 18 50? If yes, which lens do you prefer?

[@solsvids999]

Nice shots!!

[@opticaljoe]

Sick mate 👏🏻

[@JimmyShixin]

Cheers Joe!!

[@vikingjack9994]

the "vintage" look, is that the lense or you editing the photos ?

[@Photo_Pursuit]

I love your videos! Have you tried the sigma 18-50 f2.8?

[@JimmyShixin]

thanks! I actually havent tried it - I remember seeing it when deciding on what zoom lens to buy and ended up with the tamron because it has a bigger zoom range - do you have one?

[@Photo_Pursuit]

@@JimmyShixin I do! I actually bought the tamron as well but decided it was too big. The sigma is much smaller and from what I could tell the picture quality was the same.

[@JimmyShixin]

@@Photo_Pursuit oh good point! didn't consider size tbf

[@babyboy1971]

I’m thinking of getting the A6700 and this lens for street and also for portraits. How is this lens for portraits? I also shoot Fuji but want to hop into Sony. Great work!!!!

[@JimmyShixin]

I personally don’t use it much for portraits because I have my sigma 30 & 56mm F1.4 lenses for that purpose - the Tamron is certainly usable for portraits but not ideal due to F2.8 minimum aperture. Especially in low light it can struggle

[@Bellem3]

What preset you use on photos ? There are amazing . i have sigma 18-50 with a6400 thinking selling it for tamron 17-70 but im confused if worths

[@JimmyShixin]

I use watchluke's presets mostly! See how much you can sell the lens for, then see how kuch the tamron is and decide if the money is worth the extra 20mm

[@jonbikaku6133]

Super noob question but how are you getting F5 on a F2.8 lens?

[@JimmyShixin]

No problem, gotta start somewhere 📸 So the F number that comes with the lens is actually the LOWEST possible F value, where it lets in the most light - this is also what they mean with the lens is "wide open" and therefore letting in the most light. A side effect of this is that the backgrounds blurry and pictures brighter. So this means that you actually have all F values ABOVE the lowest F number. So for my F2.8 lens its LOWEST aperture is F2.8, but you can also shoot it at F4, F8 etc Hope this helps!

[@jonbikaku6133]

@@JimmyShixin omg this clears up so much! Thanks mate, watching your videos to make my first camera purchase!

[@JimmyShixin]

@@jonbikaku6133 np man! feel free to reach out if you have any camera Qs and fyi I've linked all my gear in the descriptions of my vids

[@ethanadams9135]

Would it be possible to just get away with using a 27mm focal length or do you find yourself needing the extra reach and the wider angles often for street photography?

[@JimmyShixin]

What lens is this? 27mm sounds rare as a lower limit - also is this APSC? Remember the crop factor For me even 17 (24mm on full frame) isn’t that wide to be honest and I often switch in my Samsung 12mm

[@paradias_g]

Ηey brother, whats ur opinion about tamron 17-70? :D

[@JimmyShixin]

love it! check out my other vids on this lens, definitely a favourite of mine :)
