First Vlog with the Tamron 17-28 for Sony

[@feliciafullwood]

This was such a cool surprise, I live in Detroit and do wedding photography! If you ever come back and have more time to chill I'd love to show you guys some dope places!!

[@AustinBlackvideo]

Felicia Fullwood that’s awesome! For sure if we are ever back! We had so little time to explore this time around. I’m sure there are lots of great spots

[@Noealz]

well put together austin

[@bumvox]

Got here by looking for Tamron 17-28mm f/2.8 videos and I stayed because I actually enjoyed your content! I want to start vlogging and I couldn't decide if I should get Tamron or the Zeiss 16-50mm f/4 for vlogging, but after watching this I'm definitely going for Tamron!

[@AustinBlackvideo]

That’s awesome! Thanks so much! The tamron will be SO worth it

[@machinaesupremacy]

Yes, definitely interested :)

[@AustinBlackvideo]

Definitely coming soon

[@keith-knittel]

Would definitely be interested in more videos like this, I like your style of vlogging. Found your video from searching from the 17-28 (and previously from manual lenses) for the A7III. Looking to buy a wider lens and trying to see if the 17-28 is a good wide angle zoom. My fear is the 17mm isn't wide enough to film in tight spaces, and the 28mm isn't tight enough to film medium shots (I usually go for a 35mm for mediums) - but does 1mm wide/ 6mm focal length really make a difference in your usage? I saw you also use the 16-35. Thanks for making the video!

[@AustinBlackvideo]

That is so awesome to hear!! Yeah the 16 vs 17mm is pretty minimal for me. If we were talking about one of the Laowa FF Ultrawides, there may be a difference, but this is negligible for me.

I realize it's kind of off topic but does anyone know a good site to stream newly released movies online ?

[@atticuslangston9756]

@Trace Nathaniel flixportal :D

[@tracenathaniel4890]

@Atticus Langston Thanks, I signed up and it seems to work =) I really appreciate it!

[@atticuslangston9756]

@Trace Nathaniel No problem :D

[@hautjobb]

Glad I found this channel. The Tiffen 4x4 filter system looks great. What density is the Pro-Mist filter?

[@AustinBlackvideo]

I'm using the 1/4

[@Vikingdescendent]

Nice work!

[@itsmarcocanlas]

DANG. Aside from convincing me through this good reviews, I love this video!

[@AustinBlackvideo]

Thanks so much!

[@jostalking]

loved the video - like the look of the lens but especially because of the filters. Do you think there is a way to achieve a similar look with just one screw on filter?

[@SUVO_RAW]

Very pleasant video!

[@AustinBlackvideo]

Very pleasant comment too! Thanks!

[@MichaelAmsel]

That Apple though! 😭 Great trailer as well!

[@AustinBlackvideo]

Can't believe that still lollll

[@glennewton7034]

awesome video

[@brettisstoked]

the most cinematic i've seen the tamron look! but now i really don't know whether to go for some art primes or the set of tamrons i really love the look of both now, Any suggestions? I just barely got an a7sii and am looking at lenses. Love the channel!

[@acehobojoe]

honestly, I think the filters don't look very good on it. other than that it's a pretty sweet video. The filters seem to degrade the overall quality

[@felipemvera]

Hey Austin, awesome trailer to the wedding and vlog! What's the background story on that record store? As for the vlog setup, for me its a little large, but if people can vlog with the 1dx mark ii then why the hell can't someone vlog with this setup! lol Have you tried out one of those gradient filters?

[@AustinBlackvideo]

Thanks!! It’s Jack White’s record store, and there’s just a lot of history pieces there, and they produce vinyl from the live performances there which is pretty cool. I feel like it’s large but still manageable for me since I don’t use any kind of tripod. And yes! I have a few. Those beach shots had the gradient Nd. I’m interested in making a video about it but I don’t want to just copy Armando Fierra’s video

[@bangminah9471]

What a great content, i really enjoyed your vlog. i have one question that did you use your camera IBIS when you vlogged with tamron cuz it looks kind of shacky ?

[@JakeSorianoMedia]

Dope vlog! Any advice or tips on where you purchased your lens? I've been back ordered for months now. B&H, Adoroma, and Amazon back ordered. Thanks in advance!

[@AustinBlackvideo]

What I have done with these tamron lenses is search for a random third part seller on amazon, and usually there are a couple floating around

[@Ronzar88]

Hey have you tried the EOS HD color profiles? I really want to try out the 17-28 :)

[@AustinBlackvideo]

Yep! I use EOS Pro HD for everything.

[@sebastiankehnen4933]

Maybe you wanna try the black satin instead of the pro mist. You'll get bloomy highlights but a bit more contrast in the shadows. Nice vlog btw, like the choice of music. 😊👍

[@AustinBlackvideo]

Sebastian Kehnen definitely going to look into it 👍🏻👍🏻

[@jelianfilm1434]

Austin do you need a high specs of computer in filmmaking?

[@AustinBlackvideo]

Depends on several things including your codec. XAVC is pretty forgiving.

[@vickychristmas]

how is tamron 17-28 af speed on the dark situations ? is it good / slow... i saw some good quality there

[@AustinBlackvideo]

Not enough experience to put a definitive word on it, but it worked as well as any native Sony lens for me

[@Goose619]

Love your work but I can’t stand to see another wedding video. They make me sick at this point.

[@AustinBlackvideo]

Yeah, totally get the sentiment. The reality of it is that it’s certainly the most commercially viable thing we do. The hope is to expand our work more for sure 👍🏻

[@michaeljimenez9345]

Do you vlog with a monitor? No flippy screen!

[@AustinBlackvideo]

I’ll bring the ninja V along with me when we travel, but I don’t really use it to vlog with. I find that I’m usually happy with the results shooting without a flippy screen or a monitor. Especially now being ultra wide on at 17mm

[@AustinBlackvideo]

It’s interesting because I feel that I’m one of the very few people that actually likes the articulating screen better than a flippy screen.

[@michaeljimenez9345]

@@AustinBlackvideo I just started toying around with the idea of vlogging. So far, my test shots with my a7iii seem fine, even handheld at 28mm. I do prefer full articulation to protect the screen, as I can flip it around to avoid scratches. I'll eventually pick up that 16-35 f4 or 17-28.

[@AustinBlackvideo]

Michael Jimenez gotcha! For me, the flip out screen is a bit of a Problem for professional stuff so I just deal with not seeing anything vlogging. I think the 17-28 is much better having owned both 👍🏻👍🏻

[@michaeljimenez9345]

@@AustinBlackvideo The extra stop of light is a huge deal! Is it sharper as well? Only thing I think might be nice about the sony is the extra width and the 35mm, that being said, I have a 50mm so I'm not really that limited on the portrait focal length. And the tamron is cheaper!

[@mikenelson1624]

492/28 fun vlog

[@literallyshane4306]

Nice Austin! Out of interest, which pro-mist did you choose, 1/2, 1/4? Also, you inspired me in your A7III setup, check out my rig on my insta: @literallyshanedavis. The Nucleus is awesome! ;)

[@AustinBlackvideo]

That’s awesome!! I’ll check it out! It’s the 1/4 promist

[@literallyshane4306]

​@@AustinBlackvideo Nice one! I was just watching reviews of the promist before I saw your video, but wasn't sure wether to go for 1/4 of 1/8. 1/4 looks great!

[@AustinBlackvideo]

@@literallyshane4306 That's awesome! Yeah I like the 1/4 but there are just times where you an tell it's a little too much

[@oriomenoni7651]

Since you asked... I don't like the softness of the images with this filter. They don't look "cinematic" to me... they just look soft. Sorry.

[@AustinBlackvideo]

Totally get it. The look definitely isn't for everyone, but in certain circumstances, it can certainly be more flattering on people, and also give you more of the film look
