17-70 f2.8 APS-C is 25.5-105 f4.2 on full frame F2.8 is f2.8 in terms of exposure but on a full frame you'll get less nois and less Dof at F4 and one step higher ISO

I watched almost all the latest reviews of this lens and found yours is the best so far. You covered almost everything we want to know and even the tiny jitters of the background while using this lens to take video not to mention the comparison between this lens and the Sony equivalent. Very informative and full of fun. Respect!

How do you think this compares against the 18-105 f4 G and the Zeiss 16-70 F4?

[@cosmicsheep5143]

I cant decide which one to get as well.

[@nobelkosu4034]

this is better imo. better low light and lower apeture.

[@alanleclair1]

I've owned all three. The 18-105 was crap. The 16-70 is very good. But the Tamron 17-70 was is the bomb. You can't beat f2.8 and it is sharper than the 16-70. The only thing I sometimes miss is the 1mm wider focal for the occasional landscape shot but usually I can just back up! 😊

[@stefpix]

This is great, being 2.8 it allows a crop frame camera to compete with full frame A7C +24-105 f/4 . A comparison would be interesting to see if A7C+24-105 at ISO 1600 compares to A6400+17-70 at ISO 800. I just got in December a Nikon Z5 +24-200 for travel. really happy with it (beautiful viewfinder). I have the Sony 16-55 f2.8, bit image stabilization, close focus and longer range make this an amazing lens. Travel, lifestyle assignments, portraits, fashion. Also this Tamron is better and more competitive than the Sony 16-70 f4. Also wider and more versatile than Sony A7x+ Tamron 28-200.

[@AiGMedia246]

can you do a comparison between this and the king of aps-c lens the sony 18-105?

[@benedikmedia]

FINALLY!!!! A good range. good aperture of 2.8 PLUS VC-Stabilisation!!!

I would rather it be a 16-60 f2.8 if possible. I have the lens and it always seems to be not quit wide enough. A true 24mm ff width seems to be a sweet spot for me.

[@nphotodotorg2690]

I watched this today, Oct 19, and Sigma has dropped a competitor in the mix: The Sigma 18-50mm F2.8. Looking forward to your review of the Sigma and possibly a three way comparison with the Tamron 17-70 and Sony 16-50.

[@jeffmartin-g8r]

I have the sony and was about to regret it until your final comparison. Thanks for that. If I were buying now, it would be a hard decision (I do have a stabilized body a6500). That $500 difference, the VC and the 70mm long end are pretty compelling arguments. Tamron's got a winner. I'm glad that we have some good choices now. Great review!

[@37061044]

One of Jason’s best!

[@MeAMuse]

This is great. Should give the same performance as a 24-105 on a full frame (which is usually my choice compared to the 24-70 F2.8). I still would go with full frame... I like having both aperture and shutter speed wheels.

[@nikita.gerasimov]

Can Tamron 17-70mm F2.8 give the same result as 3 separate lenses SIGMA 16mm 1.4 / SIGMA 30mm 1.4 / SIGMA 56mm 1.4? I want to use it for portraits

[@schnubbel76]

Well the Tamron is not as sharp as those prime lenses, but in my opinion absolutely sharp enough. And you have less aperture, so that makes a difference for the bokeh/blurriness. But other than the Sigma lenses you have image stabilisation, wich is nice and you do not have to change the lens every now and then, wich is the biggest advantage of a zoom lens of course. You need to decide, if you really need the very crisp sharpness of the Sigma trio and the aperture of f1.4, or if being versatile without having to carry three lenses around with you is more important. But to answer your question straight: No, you won't get the exact same results. Less aperture and a little bit less sharpness is the price for that versatility.

[@davecionini2744]

It looks awesome! The question is tamron 17-70 or sony g 18-105 ?

[@alanleclair1]

No question, Tamron for the win. I owned the 18-105 and was disappointed. Not sharp.

[@havsss]

if you're moving to full frame sometime in the future, wouldn't it be best to get the tamron 28-75 2.8 instead? I mean you can still use it on aps-c and you have the advantage of not needing to get another lens when you upgrade the body.

[@ursotedio]

The problem is the crop factor. The 28-76mm would work close to 43-115mm on an apsc camera. This lack of wide-angle range can be ok for portraits if you have space to work. However a problem for other situations like landscape, street, events, etc. So is like to put a lot of money in a more versatile lens that will not be versatile in the camera you have on hands.

[@TBKR90]

Also, lenses hold value. You wouldn’t lose much money if you kept this for a few years & then wanted to upgrade (considering you keep it in good condition etc). Can always sell it when the time comes.

[@FAMBAM_AUS]

so 2 years later I am just picking this up for my Sony ZV E10, it was a battle between this and the Sigma 18-50mm but I swayed towards the tamron because of the extra focal length and image stabilisation. thanks for all your reviews, they are great... do you think this lens still holds it's own 2years on from this video

[@pixelartcba]

Hello, I am between the same two lenses. How did it go with the tamron? I have zve10 too

[@m4rkings]

Good for you, I sold this lens a few months ago since I bought a full-frame but planning on buying this again for my a6400, and that double-purpose use for my A7IV in crop mode.

[@phamvanphong2317]

Hello channel owner, I have watched a few videos on your channel to refer to the lens after watching, I am wondering between the 18-50mm sigma f2.8 lens and between the tamron 17-70 f 2.8. My need is to have a versatile lens that is more about shooting and shooting at a good level. Can the channel owner give me some advice? Thank you.!

Thanks Jason! You’re my go to guy for anything Sony related. I appreciate all the work you put in!

[@carloenix]

Loving the whole vibe of this video! It’s just so much fun to watch 😁

[@OutDatedMedal8]

At first when I saw the new Tamron I considered replacing my 16-55, but even tho it has better zoom range and stabilization (big deal for A6409 users) I decided to keep my Sony because of the image quality :)

[@oconobee]

yeah I think you're probably making the right choice. The 16-55 looks like an exceptional lens. I think if I had it, I wouldn't really be considering the Tamron too much either. But as someone who doesn't own either, that little bit of extra reach, VC and the much cheaper price has pretty much sold it for me. If I could get both at the same price, the Sony would probably win me over.

In India, 18-105 & 16-70 both are $300 & $200 less than Tamron 17-70 f/2.8 which is great for travel or beginner wedding photography

[@gelderman1]

If you own a Sony camera without IBIS, buy the Tamron and keep the 600 dollars in your pocket. It's totally NOT worth the extra money!

[@MarioSoMedia]

Great review! As a fan of zoom lenses, the range on this lens is exceptional! Definitely could be your one lens for run and gun.

[@Pirelli7]

Thank you Jason for your great review! I’ve a Sony a6500 and I'm a videomaker but, sometimes I made various shooting photos for the clients. I noticed a difference in term of sharp, Sony 16-55 is better but... as I understand it, there is no reason to buy the Sony 16-55 because the Tamron is definitely the best choise. (I’ve also a Sony 30mm 1.4 for portraits photos). I’d love to know what do you think about it. sorry for my english 😂 🇮🇹

[@RIKIBRO]

Just curious, what is the choice between Tamron 17-70 vs Sigma 18-50?

[@schnubbel76]

I had them both for testing, kept the Tamron, sold the Sigma. My opinion: Sharpness is equally good on both lenses, can't go wrong with either of them. Sigma has a bit smoother Bokeh. Tamron has the better minimum focus distance, meaning you get closer to the subject and can do almost macro photos. Sigma is cheaper and way more compact, it is amazingly small for a zoom lens with that fast aperture. BUT it has no image stabilizer. The Tamron has that vibration control, wich works really well. Sigma has only 18-50 mm while the Tamron gives you 1 more mm in wide angle and 15(!) more mm on the telephoto end. But Tamron is more expensive, larger and heavier. So in the end, what is more important to you? You have to choose between: small, lightweight, smoother bokeh and cheaper, but less zoomrange and no stabilisation (Sigma) vs. more zoomrange, stabilisation, better focal distance, but bigger, heavier and more expensive (Tamron). I went with the Tamron and am happy with it. The only downside to me is size and weight. Sometime i wish it would be smaller. But then i wouldnt have that focal range and stabilisation 🤷‍♂ Sharpness does not really make a difference on those lenses.

[@RIKIBRO]

@@schnubbel76 thank you so much, I chose Sigma because of the size and weight.

[@hannyprastya3205]

Do you think that this lense is better than sigma 18-50 2.8?

[@7784000]

That's why I'm here too. But at the end of the day, both lenses are for different purposes. The 17-70 has more range at the wide-angle and at the tele-range and comes with image stabilization. However, the sigma is significantly more compact, cheaper and lighter which definitely plays a role on the APS-C market (to save weight and money) Nevertheless I think I will chose the Tamron 17-70, while keeping the kit-lens for hiking and stuff like that.

Tamron 17-70 f/2.8 if you have APS-C. If you already A7m3 then Tamron 28-200 & Samyang AF 18f/2.8. Only 2 lenses you ever need. Samyang AF 45f/1.8 FE have different lens design with pleasing bokeh. Also Samyang AF 85 f/1.4 FE have superb character than other 85.

[@fuzzycaterpilika5238]

@@amitkrupal1234 My two camera bodies are A6400 and A7Rii. I should consolidate to a A7iii and accept that FE lenses are pricey, but a reasonable investment. The autofocus and color rendition is so nice on the new APS-C bodies that I find myself going for that body, even with a kit lens. Tamron’s zoom lenses are definitely a game changer!

It's interesting to hear how several people have been tripped up with the focus ring and zoom ring between this Tamron and the Sony 16-55G lens when Sony's very own 70-350G lens has the Zoom ring on the outside and the focus ring on the inside like this Tamron. I use the Sony 70-350G lens quite a bit and its Zoom and Focus rings are identical to this Tamron lens which is great news for me, because I get tripped up going from it to the Sony's 55-210 lens which seems to be similar to the 16-55G.

[@unloadedone]

I recently picked up a 6100 (silver/black version which looks very nice) over the holidays to compliment my full frame Sony bodies. I wanted to have something small and compact that I can carry with me on less demanding tasks and trips. This is a workhorse lens that fills a gap in the aps-c lineup at a good price. I’m using my full frame lenses interchangeably but OSS is missing on many of them and no IBIS on the 6100. This is a godsend for darker environments and now on my wishlist. Thanks for the review.

I have an a6000 currently, and looking to get this lens. If I wait for a sale i can get it for rougly 600 euro. But I could also get a used sony a7ii with the tamron 28-75 f/2.8 for about 800 in total. Would that be a better purchase? The camera and lens would be used, but they seem to be in good condition.

[@avstars]

I've moved on from APSC to FF, but if I'm still using an APSC, the Tammy is a no brainer. You won't notice the IQ difference from the Sony F2.8 unless you're doing it side by side. And everything is easily correctable in post. The value you get from the Tammy easily makes it the best lens for Sony APSC. The larger size will be an adjustment but I think it's adaptable as this could be the lens on your camera 90% of the time. I have good experience with the Tammy FF, so I'm confident this is another good one from Tammy.

[@letitrest4662]

It sounds like you're philosophizing that because you're spending less on an APS-C camera, as opposed to full frame, that the lens manufacturer should be able to charge more for an APS-C lens. I don't agree. I also don't agree with how these companies seem to be bilking shutter bugs, by constantly holding back on the technology so they can sell you, "just one more camera", or just one more lens. Personally I've shunned buying a Sony camera in particular, because of ALL the different "A" series cameras, that never quite make the mark that people are looking for. Being honest, it pisses me off. You know darn well, if they come out with the next iteration within a year of one model, that they had the other one waiting. Seems to be that the industry takes advantage. Come on Sony, you've got a pretty loyal customer base, do right by them. I'm talking about the faster less power-draining processor of the A7 that you put in the A6400, that increases battery life over the a6500, but you hold back on the larger battery and more ergonomic grip of the a6600. Oh and no IBIS in the A6400. Really ? What's next ? Don't tell me, before you decide to put all the goodies into one camera, maybe the A6700, you'll discontinue the line and start over. YOU KNOW WHAT, I still will not have bought a Sony camera. Or any of the others. Shutterbugs get taken advantage of because of their enthusiasm, and because of their profession. Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fuji, Panasonic...... give a guy a break. Put it ALL in one camera, so the poor son-of-guns can get ahead. Same thing with you lens manufacturers.

I just use these lens right now, didnt miss other range. If you have the a6500 or a6600 go for the sony one, you dont need ibis on the lens.

Heard this isn’t very good at 70? Debating this or sigma 18-50

I love your review so much

My favorite lens is my Tamron 28-75/2.8 on my Nikon D80. Used it for portrait and food shoots. I'm tempted to switch to Sony just for the 17-70/2.8. Just waiting for their next APS-C body. Hopefully in DSLR form rather than rangefinder. If Tokina makes their 11-16/2.8 or 11-20/2.8 in E-mount, that would be awesome as well.

This lens has a full frame equivalent of 25.5 - 105 reach because of the 1.5 apsc crop. Great video.
