TAMRON 17-28mm f2.8 Sony E-Mount LENS REVIEW | is it worth it?

[@froknowsphoto]

Here's the thing about this lens. It's "affordable" at least in comparison to other native Sony lenses. It's does the job, it seems fine. It is lighter, less expensive but doesn't have the range of a 16-35......but for most people on a budget, this would be perfectly fine.

[@hmdre206]

Absolutely right Jared..great review👌🏻

[@Monuments_to_Good_Intentions]

Check out this picture. I would love to get your opinion. Mainly because the guy got trashed for taking a “normal” picture with a Sony A9 and a Sony 24mm prime. People are becoming ridiculous with what they believe to be worthy of praise, and bash others for not posting over edited photos. m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10220194612999894&id=1363933266&set=gm.974204802939941&source=48

[@Olafleflibustier]

Yep ! you're right ! the essential is go get and share great pictures and memories, and i think this lil' guy will do an awesome job without having to sell the car !

[@Catbert814]

Too many compromises. I'll take the gm

[@CosminRusu154]

Just go 16-35mm, f4 and more versatility. It's not PRO because is not f2.8 as for me 11mm of the focal length is not Pro enough.

[@GBOY185]

Outside of its "affordability", for some of us, it's weight matters. For someone who travels a lot, and wants to be able to balance their kit on their gimbal without issues, it makes sense to go with this over native glass. Especially when the differences are negligible. I own the 28 - 75 and plan on purchasing this one.

[@CharlieVN]

GBOY185 bingo, I have no problems paying for the GM, rigging it up can get extremely heavy and finicky if you have to rebalance. I also own the 12-24g, excellent for gimbal, but filters are difficult, and lens is a tad too wide and heavy

[@simianinc]

Yep - I have the 17-28 and 28-75 too, and weight was one of the majn factors. In an ideal world, I would have loved the overlap that a 16-35 would have afforded, but really my use cases for each lens really overlap. Sadly, Tamron don’t offer anything the the 70-200 space, but I would consider selling my G Master should they release something in that range

[@kingdibbe]

​@@simianinc They actually released a teaser a few days ago which seems to include a 70-200 or similiar. They will announce it in October. See TamronVids latest video on KZbin!

[@muhameddelic1819]

well if you get the gm and u can do smooth handheld the gimble is useless to bring :) smooth handheld on a lens without IS is no bueno

[@mikef2507]

This exactly the reason why I choose this lens for a trip - weight!

[@AllCarsUnited]

Love mine. Surprisingly sharp for a "affordable" non native lens

[@froknowsphoto]

exactly

[@rattoh]

The contrast is really good as well.

[@fotochips5300]

SwitchRich You are ignorant. Native lens means it is same brand as the body, period.

[@denyxrunner]

Surprisingly? Well it’s been years that sigma make the sharpest lens and only 2k overpriced sony lens can match them. Now tamron step up too and the new samyang lens are matching or beating GM lens like the 85mm f1.4 af samyang at 550€ vs 2000€ for the gm. When those lens are coming out at those price tag we should support it instead of buying overpriced sony lens so the next time sony will give us a better pricing marketing

[@JAHRONMON]

The rear filter system on the Sigma killed it for me. Decided to go for the Tamron.

[@feeltheeffect85]

I'm newish to photography, are filteres that necessary?

[@daxshell242]

​@@feeltheeffect85 yes. there is a whole field of filmmaking and long exposure you are going to have a hard time experiencing. not to mention you may not be able to shoot wide open on bright sunny days.

[@APROutdoors]

Need a sigma 14-24 f2.8 sony vs tamron 17-28 f2.8 comparison.

[@feeltheeffect85]

Can't seem to find one anywhere

[@craigirwin3592]

I agree.....

[@shaolin95]

Well the sigma is the better lens so if you need the extra width, extra IQ and don't mind the shorter long end, the sigma wins. I decided to get a 9mm prime and the tamron as my ultra to wide angle lens combo

[@artistjoh]

It all depends on the usage patterns of the individual but these are the sort of generalised observations you need to consider. 1/ How often do you shoot wider than 17mm and would you be better served by an ultra wide zoom with its disadvantages, or is it better to have the more useful 17-28 range plus a very wide prime to get you to those rare can’t-get-wide-enough situations? It should be noted that the weight difference means it is possible to get the Tamron plus a small prime and still weigh less than the Sigma on its own. 2/ Do you like to use filters, because the Tamron has a reasonably smallish 67mm thread that is the same as the 28-70 and 70-180? On the Sigma I do believe you will be dicking around cutting gels to fit the rear filter holder, and that is not fun, and let’s face it, few people ever use the rear filter holder. Manufacturers only put it there to stop complaints about the lack of filter support. 3/ Do you like a lighter weight lens because the Sigma is almost 800 grams (795) while the Tamron is just a little over 400 (420) and at almost half the weight the difference is huge? 4/ Do you like stabilisation, because neither lens is going to suit you as neither has IS? 5/ Are you thinking about the rest of your basic f2.8 zoom kit? When considering how the Sigma does not have a 70-200 option and is heavy, and the Sony selection costs as much as a car, the Tamron 17-28/28-75/70-180 combination is practical on weight and cost. For me I would prefer the 14mm of the Sigma, or the 12mm of the Sony, but the weight and practicality of the Tamron swings me in that direction, especially since all three lenses from all three brands have good image quality.

[@pullingomedia]

Jared what about Video Quality and AF when Moving Shots using Gimbal ???

[@ALWH1314]

After using it for three years, I really like this lens for travel. The range is surprisingly practical. I travel with this lens on an A7C and a Tamron 28-200 on an A7R4. They are light, compact, good enough images and cover all the situations. The only prime I carry is a 35mm GM. I recommend this lens.

[@erod707]

I’m considering buying this even though it’s years old. Do you think it’s a good investment?

[@thangenlian]

how do you like 28-200 vs 35-150?

[@serviola3]

This lens Is awesome. Sharp, light,compact, and much cheaper than others. Great work from Tamron

[@davidpazmino_]

does this lens have image stabilization

[@danzbeard]

perfect timing!!! As i've just pulled the trigger on an a7iii. Thank you!

[@danzbeard]

awesome!!! thank you so much for the feedback!

[@ShawnStevensNZ]

Yep same, I got the exact same setup, but might spend some cash on the Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS , this setup I have used for most image types, the Macro is pretty good as is, But I do think this camera can pump out some amazing images, I just need to figure out how, haha, I too based my choice on budget and alot of research, I think Canon and Nikons older lenses and Systems are dropping in price so fast now, I could have scored some seriously decent second hand gear for either of the two brands for the cost I paid for this, but still!. this Sony setup is so worth it, and I can now see the Digital race which looked to have slow, shoot off especially with the video side evening out in the systems, they could most likely overtake static imagery soon, ? there will be a surge in short creative art video promo's, even though its here now, this is a whole new ball game if you use video , especially Adobe After Effects

[@tdvu]

Pulled the trigger a few months ago. Couldnt be happier. Have the 50mm and leaning on this Tamron as my main wide angle lens.

[@shadda]

I'd get the sigma if it was even just like, 16-24, as long as it could accept regular filters and I didn't have to buy a whole filter kit just for the one lens. For my uses, an ultrawide will almost always be paired with a CPL. I really am not a fan of the tamron build quality and really wish I had another option here.

[@myerrandolph1033]

Jared, besides learning a lot from your videos, I have to say you are also very entertaining and a cool guy! Glad I found you on KZbin.

[@SMOKEYoriginalHD]

Hell yeah, waiting for Sigma 14-24mm review. Considering to buy Sigma but I don't know how those internal filters works. Are they good? Does anyone have an experience with them? 🤔

[@bioliv1]

For the internal filters you can only use the filters made by Sigma, as this is a filter solution that is new to this lens. But by time other manufacturers will probably start making them as well. Sigma has already made a new front filter holder especially designed for this lens: sonyaddict.com/2019/09/14/nisi-150mm-square-filter-holder-s5-sigma-14-24mm-f2-8-dg-dn-exclusive-model-released/

[@markchen5710]

deciding between this and the sigma 14-24... really like the sigma but i hate how you can’t use front filters

[@JoshEnglandOfficial]

I have them both, and the a7iii honestly head to head with the G series lenses i didn't notice the difference'

[@bignormeister]

If you're someone who doesn't regularly require a super-wide angle then this would be a perfect choice. I have (had until I dropped it) the 28-75 f2.8, image quality and sharpness was excellent. I would buy it again. For me the biggest issue is not having an AF/MF switch, but that is a personal preference. In this review there's no real telling how it will stack up to real world architecture but if it does, it's a perfect choice.

[@husseinaliabdulzahraal-dul1575]

[@hamzabenarafa6782]

Im done trying to get this lens preordered ages ago and gave up when my ship date kept getting pushed back. It didnt smell right "preordering" while more and more reviews kept just popping up. All i wanted to do was buy a reasonable lens on the ultrawide side. I did snag the 28-75 and i've yet to take it off

[@carlmorrow1]

If Tamron and Pentax ever merge, they could release the Tampax 17-28mm f2.8. No need for image stabilization as it will be super absorbant against camera shake.

[@CMedia87]

Lol

[@Bruno-mv3zz]

Which lens you were filming this video ?

[@shinyprimer3459]

I have this lense and use it for video on a Ronin SC. It works equally well as a native lens in respect to auto focus (continuous). Love it!

[@xbriskx]

I have an A6000 and after 8 years it's almost dead, Viewfiner doesn't work, doesn't recognise the lens have the time. Anyway I have the 55-200mm Sony lens and all I photograph is wildlife, everything from Hummingbirds to Frogs. Would love to know if 18-300m is the next step up for me and also what new body should I get? The 55-200 doesn't cut the mustard anymore, it's crap aperture and just not crispy at all. People are suggesting A6400. My budget is around 1k USD.

[@dcastrignano]

Do you like tamron 17-28 at 28mm or sony 28mm ?

[@HeroShotz]

Would i be better pairing this with an a6400 or a7ii ? They are the same price right now ($1000) with kit lens too.

[@sjsphotog]

best to test lens sharpness at the sweet spot which is middle of range usually f/5.6 or f/8. Check DxO mark for details

[@karlv.tinero2660]

Thanks for the open and neutral analysis Jared! What about the Sony Zeiss 16-35 4.0? It has an more versatile focal range and OSS, so I can also use it on my A73 + B cam A6400. It has currently a very close price to the TAMRON. Instead of the TAMRON 28-70 I would go x the Sony G 24-105 4.0.

[@njrtech]

Sony is better...the IS and build on that lense, in addition to extra range make it overall a better lense

[@dannygrau2983]

How well does this lens handle in low light ?

[@UlpiusGergo]

Thanks for your review! Furthermore, could ask you guys who has this lens did you notice that the aperture is really loud and gives quite sick noise or just mine is faulty? There is a rubbing, scratching voice when I switch on or off the camera and the aperture goes open and close. When I'm just setting the aperture only has clicking voice. I never felt/heard anything like this before from any lenses. Thanks in advance for the answers.

[@djjrodnyc]

Is this a full frame lens?

[@rajeshmuthuswamy7339]

Between Tamron 17-28 and Sony 16-25 F4 , which one do you prefer and why. I am more into Street photography and Landscape.

[@rajeshmuthuswamy7339]

@Tom Irwin As it is internal zoom, does it accumulate dust, do we need a good UV filter

[@njrtech]

@Tom Irwin 1635 Sony has IS for street style shooting...and way tougher build quality. Optics are a wash...and I like the colors on the Sony 1635 Zeiss better. Also, for street you need 35mm.

[@misterx6209]

[@infodump-withallib4385]

The tamron has 3 advantages over the Sigma. Tamron use the same filter thread in both zooms, while Sigma has none. 2nd, Tamron's lens hood is removable to you avoid the lens hood shading light away during closeups, which the lens is capable of. And third is the cheaper pricing and weight.

Proabably the Tamrons as you will get the added F-stops and ultimately the G master will be a good all rounder in those areas but the two tamrons will be better in their distinctive areas when compared to the sony. But your milage may vary.

[@SVCuz]

I just got this lens and I noticed a noise when focusing and you are in AF-S at like f9 or f11. When the lens opens the blades to focus faster the blades make a metal noise when they open and close. This is with Sony A7 III and aperture drive in AF as Standard cause you can't change it on this lens. Has anyone experienced the same?

[@giuseppeamoruso7220]

Hi What do you think, better this of the sony 16-35 f4? Spiking about quality Thanks Nice videos like always ; )

[@blackfox2885]

I mean, comparing a $2k piece of glass to a $900 piece of glass is going to have it's disadvantages. The Tamron is lighter but more plasticy feeling while the Sony lens is heavy but more solid feeling. But in the end you're saving roughly $1000 and getting somewhat close to the same picture quality.

This is such a good lens for someone who want a affordable wide angle lens with this aparture
