CHEAPER Than CANON 24-70, but Is It Good for Video??? TAMRON G2 24-70

[@nordfresse]

I appreciate you making a video on this lens for filming, since - as you say - not many people seem to use it for that (yet?). I am thinking about getting it with the Pocket4K. Your video was a bit all over the place though I have to say. I think the most important thing is how the VC works in video (compared to the Lumix), if and how the af works and if the difference in dof is really worth the enormous weight difference. Maybe its only really worth it with the speedbooster XL, so you can get the most fov out of it.

[@PhillipRPeck]

Sorry my presentation is scattered. I haven't done a comprehensive comparison between that and the Lumix in terms of image stabilization, so maybe that's something I could do for a follow up. Anecdotally, the VC works pretty well with the GH5s which has no IBIS. When working with a speedbooster, you can pretty much kiss AF goodbye so that's a non-consideration-it's manual focus only. Also, remember, the extra f-stops not only get you shallower DoF but also more light

[@nordfresse]

@@PhillipRPeck Thanks!

[@JadonMoerdyk]

Ever notice the clicking sound when changing aperture while in live view for video? Please help

[@PhillipRPeck]

It's probably the sound of the blades clicking into place as you change aperture. I hear a faint shhk sound but that's normal. It's a downside of using photo lenses for video

[@JadonMoerdyk]

Phillip R Peck so it is normal?

[@PhillipRPeck]

@@JadonMoerdyk Yes. I mean, how loud is it? All lenses with electronic controls make noises whether it's autofocus, aperture or stabilization. They have motors and mechanical parts that are whirring and clacking about. But if it's really loud, then maybe there's something wrong, but I never really hear mine (my hearing isn't the greatest) unless I listen for it but those noises can definitely be picked up by an on camera mic

[@JadonMoerdyk]

Phillip R Peck if I change the aperture while filming from 3.2 to 2.8 it’s like a really loud clicking noise I’ve seen some other people have had the same problem but no solutions, you can’t miss it

[@PhillipRPeck]

@@JadonMoerdyk Hmm, I've used it on a Sony a7Sii, GH5s and Pocket Cinema Camera and haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary. When I googled it, it seemed to be an issue for Nikon users. I really don't think anything is wrong with the lens, I would just say if audio is critical, don't change your aperture in the middle of a take. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful

[@brapperdan]

I’ve been using the canon 24-105 for most of my videos and it’s great but I really want that 2.8 and the canon 24-70 has no IS. Really kinda looking for that perfect 2.8 zoom lense but I don’t like some of those negatives you pointed out. Does the perfect lense even exist?

[@PhillipRPeck]

Nope. The new 24-70 Sigmas for mirrorless systems seem pretty great but they are focus by wire. I've actually switched to the Canon 24-105 f/4. I don't mind the f/4 because I use it on the GH5s with a speedbooster which gives me f/2.5. I really like the extra length of the 24-105. 24-70 just came to seem too limited to me

[@brapperdan]

@@PhillipRPeck I’m using a crop sensor if I use a speed booster will it crop more? Why do t they just put IS in the 24-70? Bums me out

[@PhillipRPeck]

@@brapperdan Speedbooster reduces the crop. It gives you a wider field of view and a brighter aperture

[@brapperdan]

@@PhillipRPeck we’ll looks like that’s what I need. Thank you sir.

[@PhillipRPeck]

@@brapperdan What camera are you using?

[@EvoWorkout]

Would you recommend it for crop sensor like canon 90D for video? Thanks

[@PhillipRPeck]

Yes, it would work fine on the 90D. A 17-50 or 17-55 lens would be a bit smaller, lighter, and cheaper, though

[@EvoWorkout]

@@PhillipRPeck thanks. I was also looking at canon 17-50 2.8 but in general the lens is quite old. I would rather buy something more expensive but with newer technology

[@PhillipRPeck]

@@EvoWorkout I see. And if you ever decide to get a full frame camera, you'll be covered

[@EvoWorkout]

@@PhillipRPeck yeah, i got the 90D because of the 120fps. Do you recommend getting another full frame body for video and still where i need 120 fps to use the 90D?

[@PhillipRPeck]

@@EvoWorkout Not unless you're unhappy with what the 90D is giving you or there's something about a full frame camera that you can't do with the 90D. I mostly shoot video on Micro 4/3 cameras so I'm not all about that full frame life. I do think it's smart to buy lenses that give you the most flexibility. Date the body, marry the lenses (kind of a cliché but it works)

guys, I have an issue with the Tamron 24/70 f2.8 g2 and the canon Eos R. if I put the optical stabilizer on the lens and I shot a video with a pan or a circular movement around a subject, let's say from left to right, the final video get some sort of skipping frame, it's like the stabilizer tries to keep the subject in the center until the camera movement it's too much and than skip a frame to recenter the optical stabilizer and start again. I don't know how to solve it, it's absolutely the VC on the lens, and it happens only with the canon EOS R, If I use it on Eos 80D or 5D I have no problems... (and it's not the shutter speed or the SD card) any ideas??

[@PhillipRPeck]

I wish I could help, I don't have any experience with the EOS R. Do you have the electronic image stabilization on in the EOS R?

[@werem369]

Hi Philip i already got my!.. with speedboster XL, great lens but i think you need to buy seamless gears for focus ring... and then will work great

[@PhillipRPeck]

Nice...good advice about the gears. Do you use a follow focus? Also, I broke mine :( and am going to send it to Tamron for repairs. Hopefully they can fix it

[@werem369]

@@PhillipRPeck yes fotga dp500II with hard stops, and it's work very smoth on slulder rig, but I will buy soon pd movie air follow focus it will help me change focus with out moving Hands from rig handles..

[@toastymcmuffinface]

@@werem369 Nice. I've been thinking about adding a follow focus but I don't have a shoulder rig either. Trying to stay minimal I guess

[@mikeywilde]

Thank you so much. It's a very good video about the things no one is talking about (like focus breathing).

[@PhillipRPeck]

Thank you

[@BojanStanojevicYT]

Hi, great video! Does VC works?

[@PhillipRPeck]

Thank you. VC works for sure. Not sure what kind of quantitative measurement you are looking for, but it definitely goes a way towards stabilizing video...which is what I'm most concerned about

[@nitablackwood6301]

I love your videos. extremely informative

[@PhillipRPeck]

Thank you!

[@focuspulling]

Great review, I like your style (not hysterical blogger kid corporation megaphone)! Thanks.

[@PhillipRPeck]

Thank you! I really appreciate the compliment. And maybe one day, I'll make another video

[@focuspulling]

It's a mess out there, with billions of kids instantly having something to say about everything (that they got a free sample of from multinational corporations getting a bargain on free advertising) - so, just a matter of finding that rare moment of "no one actually said this." My experience, anyway.

[@PatientZeroBalisong]

I always look forward to your videos so much experience

[@PhillipRPeck]

Thank you! Experience? I'm glad I'm convincing!

[@PatientZeroBalisong]

Awesome dude!

[@daneoman1000]

tempted to get it for my Bmpcc4k with Viltrox

[@PhillipRPeck]

Nice! It's a good choice for cameras without stabilization like the BMPCC4K

[@JesusIsLord182]

Didn't know Pedro Pascal was into lens reviews...interesting

[@PhillipRPeck]

I don't look anything like Pedro Pascal but I'll take it

[@JesusIsLord182]

It was the first thing I thought of anyways haha! On a different note, how is the optical stabilization? It's supposed to be one of the best on the market for fullframe. I need a good stabilized lens for my pocket 6k and this one is supposed to be insane 🤔
