Mine didnt approve my a7iii lol

[@MovieTrailerTeam]

Some one trade my 24-240mm lens please :)

[@JonPais]

Your work just gets better and better Jason. One of my favorites on KZbin.

[@JasonVong]

thanks Jon!

[@cobblestoneproductions6104]

Totally Agree. Killing it. I am sold to sony now.

[@RyanREAX]

Jason La-VONG! giving lanier a run for his money.

[@ZDzociety]

agree

[@revolutionimagesmedia7789]

Agreed

[@airdailyx]

Your best review ever. Reminded me of the old DigitalRev days. Well done and keep it up!! You almost sold me on this lens! I stopped short of the build quality and I have a feeling Sigma is in the rafters. Again, well done!!

[@fwfeo]

I love the video quality. The dynamic range is amazing. I feel like I'm there in person! I also appreciate the amazing content you post here! Keep it up Jason!

[@JasonVong]

Thank you!!

[@eriktorres575]

The lens is so good. Tarmon did a fantastic job with it

[@AsTemplesCollide]

Dude that face you make every time you test out the focus to lens always makes my day hahah!

[@cactustweeter2890]

Buy the Tamron. It'll be the best $800 lens you've ever purchased. If you need to go wider than 28 mm get the Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM.

[@thomasjoissains4000]

I would go for the f4 enough most of time and lighter if need wide angle

[@zova8255]

Cactus Tweeter I’d say go for the f4 16-35 considering it’s like 800-900 dollars cheaper. Unless you really need the f2.8 for your pictures

[@DerekGiovanni]

Or buy the Tamron and then buy the new 24mm f1.4 GM. That also makes sense IMHO.

[@tobyntoby]

@@DerekGiovanni except the 24mm GM will set you back at $1400 AND adding another weight to your bag

[@sig310]

Do I need an adapter for this on a A7iii?

[@photographerjonathan]

it seems like every review of this lens. the reviewer doesn't know about it's weather sealing, I saw on a Tamron website that the lens has 6 weather seal gasket rings. 5 inside the Lens and one on the mount. so it's probably as weather sealed as any other lens that says it's weather sealed, because no lens is really weather sealed, they are all just weather resistant. as far as the image quality, it's amazing how close those two images looked without pixel peeping, it seems like the GM has a little more micro contrast that you can see in things like hair. but if you weren't pixel peeping the images side by side, you would just think the Tamron image is a really nice image. if both lenses were the same price, I think it would still be a toss up of which lens to get, because the advantage of the form factor is so huge for the Tamron, and the 550 g of weight compared to 890g. for me out weighs the 24 vs 28 downside. and the close focusing ads a dimension that the GM can't give you, but when you look at the reality of the actual price difference. you would almost feel stupid buying the GM. but with that said. if you want the 2% extra micro contrast, and the 24mm and the stronger build quality than buy the GM. but I have seen a few people who posted in facebook groups saying that after a little over a year. the focus ring on the 24/70 GM started to get out of shape and was coming off the lens. and it cost good money to fix it. I own the original Tamron 24/70 VC in a Canon mount. and I bought it when it first came out maybe 6 years ago, and Never had any issues of any kind. and I love the images I get with the lens. I just wish it was as small as this new Tamron 28/75 f2.8. also the Tamron in America has like a six year warranty if you register the lens after buying it. Personally I wish that Tamron made the lens to 100% equal or even better than the GM image quality. and just charged $1000 or even $1200 instead of $800. it still would have been allot less money than the GM. but as far as the plastic build goes. when I was new to photography, I used a Nikon 18/55 kit lens for like 5 years straight. I used that lens under every condition, including blowing sandy winds and rain, and even dropping the camera, and the lens never got broke or stopped working, and that is a kit lens with zero weather sealing. so I think the build quality aspect isn't as big as some people want to act like it is. and a good plastic can actually take more abuse than some metal can. if you think about it. plastic itself is weather resistant, where metal is not, anyway the Tamron is pretty sweet for it's price. and the GM is also nice but over priced. but all top glass is over priced. but if you want a BMW you can't buy it for Honda prices. even though the Honda might outlast the BMW.

[@moosa3956]

this video had such a different vibe from your usual videos but im here for it

[@EliInfante]

Great video Jason! I'll be getting this lens tomorrow. SUPER EXCITED

[@chrisbrockhurst]

Jason are you planning on making this lens part of your wedding gear? Genuinely interested in picking this up for weddings

[@xyrvee6094]

same here, interested in the answer

[@sandorcayon992]

Bro am a huge fun of yours, am from Cuba and also expecting this Wednesday my A7 iii + Tammy 28-75, I wanna thank you first for telling the world the reality of my people over there and second for the amazing review. You are a great human being

[@lyonngo]

Sometimes I wish I had 24mm, but 28 mm range satisfies my needs most of the time. Having an extra 4mm doesn’t really justify the cost for me. Sometimes I do go “man, I wish I could go wider” but that doesn’t mean that the 28mm footage doesn’t look good. This lens is great and light and it would take a lot of justification for me to upgrade to the g master, and even then I wouldn’t bring the g master to travel

[@LawerChannel]

One of the best reviews of lenses that I see in the last months. The information is explained fantastic, but man, your shots... Your shots are awesome! I didn't know you, and I'm shocked. Nice video! And nice lens!

[@glight0]

3:49 I came back for this 😂 great rest of the video too but that is the best part

[@ansonliu2682]

if Tamron made it 24mm, but more expensive, bigger and heavier, will you buy it still? I think 4mm is nice trade-off considering how light and small it is comparatively

[@JasonVong]

exactly your second sentence 👌

[@GraphicMill]

Yes I would like 24mm, but, I love the fact that the Tamron is lighter, smaller and works great on my Crane Plus. I find traveling with it is beneficial, and using it on a gimbal totally out ways the extra 4mm of width. I have a 16-35 f4 that looks after those wider needs... it too works on the gimbal and when shooting at wide angles DOF is generally less of a visual goal. Yet I can achieve blur at 35mm when shooting close up on an object. Bottom line, the Tamron is a total win for me because I’m always traveling.

[@ScottJWaldron]

Great job on the video. Super interesting seeing some your time in Cuba. I used to have a 28mm prime lens when using Nikon full-frame cameras. It was an odd focal length. Like you were saying, it's often not wide enough when you want a lot in the frame (though I prefer 20mm over both 24 and 28).

[@NBWDOUGHBOY]

I didn't think 24 vs 28 was such a big deal but man after seeing the crop it really seems pretty substantial..

[@JasonVong]

it's definitely a big deal if you've been using the 24mm a lot!

[@Sabenn]

@@JasonVong This Tamron 28-75, vs the 24-105 Sony G - I dont do video, and my A7i doesnt have IBS. - I already have the kit 28-70, but the variable aperture hurts my soul.

[@jayphilipwilliams]

24mm is more than 14% wider than 28mm. That's pretty significant.

[@carbonoxx]

@@jayphilipwilliams and the price 2k to 800.00 That's pretty significant.

[@TechLineHD]

Really love my Tamron lens!

[@kcool1128]

Enjoyed this review. So excited that my copy of the Tamron 28-70mm for my Sony A7iii , will be delivered today. Can't wait.

[@guyjordan8201]

I have it on an A7R2 and love it. Nice to see the comparison.

[@JasonVong]

thanks!

[@NickGranville]

I agree about the 28 not quite being wide enough. People forget that every mm counts as you get wider so 4mm is significant. Especially if I’m indoors where I can’t move back further at times. I’m thinking I’ll go for the 24-105 F4 cause I already have a set of primes.

[@RyanREAX]

i own the 24-105

[@ninja1inblack105]

EpicSkiesPhotography I was debating between this Tamron 28-70 or the Sony 24 - 105... any advice?

[@wierdpocket]

what set of primes do you own? trying to build up a prime set as well, but not sure which mm ranges to get for every occasion

[@NickGranville]

amndemo I have a zeiss distagon 21mm f2.8, Sony 35mm f2.8, helios 44-2 58mm f2, Sony 85mm f2.8 as my main lenses. I sometimes put the 85 on my A6500 which gets me 135mm range when needed.

hells yeah!

[@vadimyuryev]

I film weddings with my brother Max Yuryev and I’ve gotta say this is my favorite all-around lens. I use this in the studio for b-roll as well. My favorite part is the incredibly close minimal focusing distance. Definitely buy this lens.

[@TravelingDorks]

Great video! Love the editing, and I love Cuba!

[@voidwalkingcat]

Great review. Hope you enjoyed the trip. Thx for the vid

[@BrianMakesFilms]

Mine is supposed to come tomorrow. Form factor and price were my biggest deciding factors to go for the 28-75 and 17-28. Eventually the 70-180 too, but for now these should cover 90% of my jobs.

[@Vikingdescendent]

!8 - 135mm is the ideal range for me, no matter where I find myself. Add a Sigma 16mm f 1.4 DC DN, Clear Image Zoom, and you're all set for most situations.

[@JasonVong]

thank you!

[@mfreder7]

Great review man! You really helped me decide on a lense.

[@6gwilliams]

I have the 24-105mm f4 and prefer the wider focal length range. F2.8 is nice, but I have gotten great coverage in most light with the f4. Not quite as much bokeh, but enough, especially at 105mm. Tamron has a great lens here, but I personally don't need it right now. Might get it in the future for a backup lens in my kit. Cheers and Thanks Jason for all your hard work (and fun).

[@Sabenn]

Im deciding between those two exact lenses. Im on a strict budget, but the build quality, OSS, and range is whats attracting me to the 24-105. - I have an A7i, so it doesnt have IBS, and I already have the 28-70 kit which...I dont like the variable aperture.

[@timphillips3873]

I decided I could just shoot higher ISO to grab that extra stop of light, especially with the A7iii's capabilities The 105 is nice for portraits, even at F4- which is a bit more forgiving with DOF in my use. I pretty much live at either short or long end.

[@achraf9946]

same, more focal range more better shots

[@vVvCuhRazy]

Cant justify the almost double price tag.

[@jamestaylor954]

First I got to find the Sony A7 lll in stock! Crazy can’t find the camera anywhere all I seen was back ordered/ not in stock!

Wow wish I seen this yesterday. I'm new to all this videography/photography and I purchased the a7riii last week and today I picked up a Zeiss 24-70 mm lens. I know id be sacrificing a bit of the wide angle if I trade in the Zeiss for the Tamron but I hear a lot more positive reviews for the Tamron

[@WilliamWallaceRoss]

Once again, very informative. I have the 24-70 GM, but, wanted to see if Tamron was a good buy. Looking at the 24-105 also. Hope you enjoyed yourself. I love all their old cars.

[@RyanREAX]

i have the 24-105 and i can shoot entire weddings with it (other than macro)

Nice work, Jason! Can't wait to see you with the 17-28 in your hands :) Maybe we'll see you at WPPI... Stop by the Tamron booth, mate.

[@setaside2]

P.s. the lens is seriously weather sealed and includes fluorine coatings on the front element. It's better suited to harsh conditions than the camera ;)

[@ZadieBear]

I am heading to Salzburg in January, and have been trying to decide what to bring. Given I have used the older Tamron 28-75 on my Canon, the 28mm/24mm difference isn't a big deal. I might have to rent this lens for my trip. Great review! Thanks Jason.

[@TravelCharlie]

I was in Shanghai last month and came across the last one in a local mall. It was like a sign from the Tamaron gods saying, "I've been waiting for you". I haven't been this excited to get a new lens for a while. Talking to the store manager, he said they're back ordered until December 2018 in Shanghai so if it's in stock in your country, buy it! don't think, just buy it! You'll thank me and Jason later. Just my two cents, I agree with Jason with the 28mm not being wide enough. I'm 6'5 and even with Stretch Armstrong arms, I still manage to cut off my head in the frame when vlogging. Now, don't let that discourage you, vloggers, because when it comes to photos, and B-roll, this is the lens you want. I'll be sticking with this lens for a while as it provides the perfect focal length need and keeps me minimal As a back up I have my 16-35mm Zeiss F/4 for vlogging.

[@ArunBarnard]

Watched this review when it came out, but only just picked up the lens for £100 off! Can't thank you enough for your awesome and detailed content.
