Tamron 17-28 F2.8 VS Sony Zeiss 16-35 F4 LENS COMPARISON

[@GKid1]

Great video. Helped with my selection for my KZbin channel. Thank you

[@fl4tbxr]

which one did you go with?

[@GKid1]

Chris Hermo Sony Zeiss for the native-ness

[@canillocanillo3371]

G-Kid The Tamron is native to the Sony. Did you miss that part?

[@dusty_burkhalter]

The Tamron 17-28 paired with the A7C is an amazing combo for me so far. I considered the 16-35 f4, but used the savings to pick up the Peak Design Travel Tripod instead. I already have the 24-105 f4 G lens so the 17-28 f2.8 pairs nicely with it, and I really appreciate the lighter weight of the Tamron.

This is it. The title. This is the video I needed to watch. Because previously i wanted to buy 16-35 f4 but now as I heard about Tamron 17-28, I wanna buy this. I haven’t watched this video but that’s what I came for, to see the difference and all. You were amazed by the number of people subscribed to you, this is the reason. Because you are coming up with things which people want to watch, you create quality content with good sense of humour. This is why I subscribed you recently. Good day dude. Thanks for this all

[@ADof28]

Great vid Peter. My thinking is that if f4 is unusable in a low light situation, then f2.8 won’t make much of a difference either. A fast prime would be the better bet. The extra zoom range and the IS on the Sony however are critical for run and gun video shooters.

I don't know. 2.8 has saved my bacon many a times when f4 would have been a no-go.

I prefer solid build quality of Sony as I purchase lens for years of use and F2.8 Vs F4 is not a much difference for a UWA lens for me .16 to 35mm is a better zoom range for composition from 28 to 35mm without changing lens.

Had the tamron first but swapped it with the zeiss, the 16-35mm focal length was the deciding factor for me. The 28mm limit for the tamron was a bit lacking for me to be called versatile. It's all about preferences really, both lenses are great, you just have to know what you need more in terms of the shoots you do.

[@scottbauerunderwater8144]

I actually traded my 16-35 f4 in to get my new tamron 17-28. I am with you though, I really liked the sony/zeiss. The reason why i made the trade was because I primarily shoot still frame and I found the tamron to be sharper. Since i am shooting still frame on tripod (landscape/realestate, ect..) i found that the added sharpness of the Tamron was worth sacrificing the IS of the Sony/zeiss. Also, another advantage about the Tamron that nobody seems to mention is the nano coating on the lens along with the aperture blades that create a beautiful sunburst when shooting into the sun or bright lights. Using the Sunburst in my compositions is the main reason that compelled me to switch.

[@jamesf3382]

Scott Bauer seems like the flare resistance of Tamron is better too.

[@ZisimosZizos]

Hello Scott. Do you have sample images to show me?

[@stillinthestream]

Thanks Scott, that note about the sun stars caught my attention. I'm looking at this comparison for landscape and travel, and so I'm thinking that the added light gathering offsets the IS to some degree? I'll be using a tripod near to home, but not necessarily when traveling... so that is where I'm stuck at the moment.

[@efimtravels]

Thanks, good video. I got Tamron few weeks ago and really feel limited by focal diaposon if 17-28 as you mentioned. Now use mainly for photo and it gives very good picture. Paired it with Tamron 28-75 and this set gives good coverage, but for both lences 28 boarder feels limiting when zooming in the street. Despite of it, like Tamron for performance and outstanding ratio price/quality. Availability of these two Tamron lences was tipping point to buy 7aiii because original lenses were too expencive for just hobby, but Tamron provided good option. Going to extend lences park with few manual lences both on wider and longer lengths for non critical to speed aplications and than will feel better equiped.

Hello from Kyiv Ukraine. Hi. I am a Sony shooter. I shoot fashion models , portraiture and build portfolios. I now have the tamron 17 to 28mm and I think this lens is just excellent. The OSS does not make a difference because my cameras all have IBIS and I do not see any difference. Even on your comparison footage side by side I did not notice a difference. For me the 17mm v 16mm and no OSS has not really effected my decision to buy. It is a good lens. I own a lot of Sony lenses and third party lenses for Sony FE. My Sony lenses. 35mm F1.8. 55mm F1.8. 85mm F1.8. 50mm Plannar f1.4. 90mm F2.8 Macro. Samyang 35mm F1.4. 45mm F1.8. 85mm F1.4. Tamron 28 to 75mm F2.8. 17 to 28mm F2.8. Cameras A9. A7 RIII A7 III. Future plans: Tamron are releasing a 70 to 180mm F2.8 FE this October so I am waiting to see before I buy the Sony version. I have heard that Samyang are working on a 135mm F1.8 so I am also waiting to see before I buy the Sony version. I buy my lenses when I visit relatives in England from this online shop E-Infinity. Always stock and best prices.

I have 10-18mm for my APS-C (crop) Canon. For the full-frame, I would go with 16-35 because of stabilization and focal range. Speed for sure is important as well, but secondary for me because you can fix this by lighting inside and do not have such a problem outside during the day at all.

problem is, he only walked slowly. Nice would have been to see a comparison of slow walking vs regular speed vs running. Maybe even with a gimbal. Since OSS is actually the selling point for me I would have loved to see the Tamron perform in that area more thoroughly. But that's personal preference I guess. Most YTB videos are below 10min mark.

If you really want smooth results you want to go with a gimbal. Totally different animal for cinematic motion.

the Zeiss is for me. the much wider range makes the lens way more useful. as much as I like the larger aperture, I gotta say the 16-35mm has a waaaay more practical range. It's worth $1000 to me (refurbished on amazon or eBay).

The 16-35mm focal length and the oss sound sooo good but the image quality of the 17-28 and the faster aperture really makes me question which way is the correct option! I like to vlog and shoot street photography and environmental portraits too. Someone help lol!

[@Server16116]

Go with 17-28. Everyone says that anything above 30mm on the 16-35 does not look nearly as sharp. Between 16mm vs f/2.8, I think f/2.8 would be more useful. That's my opinion anyways.

[@NickNightingaleYT]

The 16-35 is a sleeper. Its rendering (at least my copy) rivals some primes I have. There is a lot of micro contrast that contributes to the pop people desire in high end lenses. F4 is meaningless to me, 5.6 or higher is only a boon for the beautiful details this lens can capture. I have a couple Tamron zooms that render nicely with good colors, but they don't render as well as the Zeiss.

Have 24GM f1.4 in my bag at all time for photos purposes with creamy bokeh. So I am happy with my purchase and I would not trade in for Tamrom as 16mm really makes a HUGE different in photos/videos.

I have the 1728 already, but i have to say that the new sigma 1424 Art for sony e which is more sharper than 1728 not a level. This is super extremely sharp on center to edge at f2.8 wide open.

I’ve had the F4 for a few years and agree it’s a great lens. That being said I also now own the Tamron and for the way I shoot it has now superseded the Zeiss. I’ve put it up for sale.

[@THELIFEOFCB]

You like the tamron better

[@JustinDoesTriathlon]

Funny, I was just thinking that the f4 is the MUCH better comparison. Seems like everyone is pitting this against the 2.8, but the f4 seems like a much closer comparison to me. Nice

[@PeterLindgren1]

I think so too, the GM is more than double the Tamron (almost triple). I love both lenses though!

[@JustinDoesTriathlon]

@@PeterLindgren1 In your comparison, I see barely any difference between the stability on the OSS lens and the the Tamron. Up close, or just in your use, do you feel like the OSS on the f4 is noticeably better? I don't care about the f4 vs 2.8 too much; handheld stability is near the upper end of my concerns. Thoughts?

[@krzysztofbobrowicz589]

Which one would you recommend for interior photography?

[@Gari.Hughes]

In the side by side video test the Zeis looked a litle warmer.

[@nathandejesus6177]

Is it just me, or is there no noticeable stability difference between the two lenses in the vlog test?

[@johannbeckham]

No man, i notice it too. There not a huge difference in my eyes. Although there's a slight 1mm difference between 16 and 17. It doesnt bother me through.

[@PeterLindgren1]

The difference is the most obvious in the edges of the frame, and when you go up to a tighter focal length and start to move it's really noticable.

[@matthoffman6962]

All I really want to know is if the tamron can handle group wedding shots without distortion and if it can be a good landscape lens. If yes to both I’m sold.

[@azizoid]

THank you for the video. I often listen to a video on the go. so if you constantly use this/this sometimes it is not clear what are you talking about. can you pls use names more? sony/Tamron for example

[@VLS28]

Nive video. Both nice lenses, depends for what use want them. I didnt see any comparison at interiors shooting. Which one you will use for interior shot?

[@JessDemant]

17mm. to 28mm is unfortunately not much zoom for a zoom lens, so I stays with my Sony 12mm. to 24mm.f.4 as it also has really good image quality! Cheers Jess from Denmark

[@ralfheyer1335]

I got the Tammy a few weeks ago and I'm very happy with it. I have been very happy with their 28-75 for nearly one year so I got it as extension for wide angle shots. My adapted Canon 16-35 2.8 L II isn't that great below 24mm in it's edges. So the 17-28 is a pretty good choice and fullfilds my needs best. I'm not missing the 1mm on the low end, but I'm really happy about the aperture of 2.8, the small formfactor, the same filtersize of 67mm and the inner-focal-mechanism. And btw. the money factor is not to be despised...:-))

[@PeterLindgren1]

Totally agree with your opinions there. Unfortunately they have almost the same cost here in Sweden!

[@ralfheyer1335]

​@@PeterLindgren1 In Germany there is a difference of about 20% between the two - and fortunately I got the Tammy for another 15% less. 1/3 below the direct competitioners is a remarkable amount that supported the choice once more. (and btw. the Sony GM is 2,5 times up to this...)

[@huwjones5879]

Sony for the focal lengths. f4 not a problem for me at those focal lengths. OSS is very useful.

[@maki_cycling]

I’ll go for the tamron!

[@SeijiSakata]

I bought the 17-28 for 3 reasons 1. Weight better than the GM 2. I have the 28-75 3. Image quality is 90% the same as the GM

[@PeterLindgren1]

I'd also buy it before the GM!

[@sjmedia_official]

Which lens should I get as a first time Sony user for near all purpose, no vlogging, many people recommend Tammy 28-200. but its not wide enough for me or Sonny 24-105, but I heard it does not render well and I am looking for superior image quality. Was thinking 17-28 +new Sigma 105mm Macro Art for macros and portraits, what would you recommend?

[@kenmicallefjazzvinylaudiop6455]

Another helpful video. Buying the Tamron

[@thedaniell91]

I just got my Tamron 2 days ago and I love it! Can't wait to do astrophotography with it, which you can't do with the Zeiss 16-35... :)

[@PeterLindgren1]

Both are great lenses! Love the Tamron, Love the zeiss!

[@flipperm3088]

You can definitely do astrophotography with the 16-35.
