TAMRON 70-200MM f2.8 VC G2 REVIEW & FIELD TEST

[@LamNguyen-nj6er]

What camera did you use in this video??

[@ahurtig3719]

Nice review, purchased Grey Market g2 For $1049 New off of Amazon and love the lens coupled with my Nikon d7100 body

[@damonandtristan3615]

Great job on this video Taylor. This is probably one of the best lens reviews I have seen, hope you continue to do videos like this one.

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Thanks! It was a heck of a lot of fun

[@royjohnson6623]

Volevo chiederti se il paraluce del 70-200 Di vc usd è compatibile con il modello G2 ?

[@vexphoto]

I for one appreciate this comparison very much. Especially since the Pentax 70-200 is essentially the old tamron.... so I hope Pentax will update theirs... thank you for doing the video.

[@tmic3273]

u compare a out fo image and a well focus image? what is the point

[@angus5427]

Can't wait to get this thing next week. Should be fun going from 55-250 IS STM to that beaut

[@themarksmanABP]

Been looking into this lens intensively for the last few days. I bought the canon 750d to get into photography, i'll deffo be getting this lens in january, its a beast of a lens for a new photographer! I have the sigma 8-16 mm and the 18-55 kit lens aswell as the canon 50mm 1.8, this tamron will be the perfect addition for my wants. Good review! Subbed

[@ajflicks793]

Hi Taylor, Perfect review, Thanks lot for the detailed review of this 70-220. I had a wired question. Just got my new TAMRON 70-200MM f2.8 VC G2 len's. I could hear some wobble sound from the Len's when i shake it gently? like some things inside Len's isn't tightly fitted? is this expected? Any comments would be really great. Cheers

[@ljohnson0725]

Taylor quick questions, I just purchased the lens yesterday 70-200 g2 will it be good with my D7200. Thank for your help

[@wawangpulo]

you make it look so light to hold.

[@travisjarvis1755]

I know that this is a very old video but seeing as I am in the market for a new 70-200 I stumbled upon this video. I really want to get the new FL E version of the lens from Nikon, but i am not a full time working photographer. I work part time shooting weddings, event photography, and portraiture. The G2 tamron seems like a good option but I see many mixed reviews. Being someone that has used both, how dramatically different is the image quality between the tamron G2 and Nikon FL?

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

FL is probably the best 70-200 in the world. It’s really remarkable. That said the G2 does as good of job in like 96% of situations and it’s really fantastic as well. Plus way less expensive

[@mauricebeek8861]

Hello Mister Jackson, Question: On what focus distance have you calibrated your 70-200 ? thanks beforehand.

[@dmt99vn]

the G2 is consistency sharp across the image and through the range from 70mm to 200mm which is the most important

[@Dimitriyus]

Man, where were you all this time????? No excuse accepted!!!! Good to see a new video.

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Haha many more videos to come. Finally home to start editing.

[@oqhr]

Did you use the same camera body for both lenses??

[@zarkozi]

Most likely not. Not even the same settings. You can se iso 100 vs iso 50 on 7:50

[@griffithbowen4590]

Hi Taylor, would you recommend this over the Nikkor 70-200 VR II? I am buying it for £1200 and wondering if it is worth the extra £100 for the Tamron. I shoot wildlife, landscapes and Weddings.

[@peteshafie9640]

Hi TJ. I know I'm bit late on this review but then, my question is, how come you didn't try out this lens on actual wedding day? Im just curios. At the moment I'm planning to get new 70-200 to replace my original 70-200 nikon VR. I would love to see if you be able to include this lens on one of your up coming wedding shoot. Anyway, your work inspire me and its a good review btw brother! Cheers ;)

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

We only had it for a few weeks, and it was in the middle of a bunch of trips that took up the full review period sadly.

[@peteshafie9640]

@@TaylorJacksonPhoto not a problem brother! and thx heaps for your humble reply. Cheers ;)

[@anoopraju-iiitk3586]

Can you make a video on how good this gen 2 lens with a 2x teleconverter especially for sports.

[@aditiadoni2909]

nikon d7xx iso 1600 , it seem much noise than canon dslr aps-c or full frame .

[@There_and_Back_Again1st]

I have been searching for a side by side video review on both lenses. THANK YOU FOR THE REVIEW. I have both lenses on my Amazon wish list. I knew the G2 was going to be better but I wanted to know how much more. I wanted to see if it would be worth to spend the extra cash on. Because of your review I will be purchasing the TAMRON 70-200 G2.

[@AustinMullins]

Color grading drop out at 14:55? Interesting...do you shoot raw video?

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Weird! Yah Tim shoots S-Log usually

[@outoforder0]

I know this is an old video but the your DI 70-200 lens is quite blurry that it makes me shake my head that something is wrong with it. It shouldn't be that blurry.

[@eap1321]

great review deff getting that g2!

[@rosadoric615]

Great review. What calibration system/method did you use e.g. LensCalc, Reikan FoCal etc.

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Rosa Doric the G2 was perfect out of the box. I just have one of the basic black and white targets with the angled +/- numbers

[@BryanMordt]

Taylor, I thought you could micro adjust 3 focal lengths with this lens and Tap-in console?

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

For the G2 you can, the G1 is the one that really needs it

[@BryanMordt]

I enjoyed the review, good job.

[@vincentkc48]

Super informative video man I appreciate this!

[@jpdmk]

Which adapter did you used for A7sii?

[@AG-nj3ky]

excellent detailed review. Very intresting, one big thumb from me.

[@leehauxwell1149]

Nice to have G1 Vs G2 comparison for people who want to weigh up the performance advantages against the money saved by buying the G1. For the cost of the G2 I could have bought a G1 and a 90mm macro VC Tamron.

[@susheeltm]

To me the images with the G2 were far superior to those taken with the old one. Wonder why you you were showing images side by side and saying that there wasn't much to choose between the two.

[@chirag4]

you are one of the Smartest reviewers on YT.

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Haha thank you!

[@williamle1914]

On point Taylor J.

[@JonnyPink65]

I am a big fan of Tamron lenses. My favorite is my 24-70 f2.8. My go to if not birding or going for my Tamron 150-600 G2.

[@tonycolon67]

just curious what camera did you use?

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Tony D750 for this. Usually a d500 for travel and D5 for weddings

[@tonycolon67]

thanks for the reply! nice video bro, and yeah i kinda figured ( D7100, D500 for me) love the ISO in the D500 ...

[@mikeypascua]

Just got the lens, but the Childish Gambino Deep Web tour shirt 👍🏽 Respect.

[@3DJunkieDude]

Would've preferred to see a head-to-head comparison of an actual working G1 lens. Knowing that your G1 lens had issues, which you (thankfully) fully disclosed, makes the comparison meaningless.

[@RIDINGMAX]

14:15 LOL

[@antoinepaillard8083]

?

[@subirt99]

Nice Review

[@martinaee]

You can call a bird an it.... it's okay.... the PC peeps aren't gonna get you lol Good review, but it's hard to really see differences clearly since your gen 1 version isn't in focus quite properly.

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

martinaee I don't actually know of anyone with a good copy of it. We usually use it for video which it's good enough for. After seeing this I realize it's not going to cut it for photography any longer. Of the 5 frames, that was the best one

[@martinaee]

Hmm... interesting. I rented one for a wedding in 2013 and remember it being sharp, but who knows. Good to see that the second version looks good though too.

[@vision-gc4hy]

Convinced me!

[@moviewatcher1024]

Tamron has been putting out some high quality lenses lately. The color of you video looks really washed out. Probably because it was not shot with a Canon camera

[@mariosubasic.media1]
