This Lens Is INCREDIBLE! | Tamron 35-150mm F/2-2.8 Di III VXD Review

[@geraldundone]

UPDATE: Apparently the focus throw and linearity of the manual focus is something you can customize using Tamron's lens utility. Mine just happened to be set to 180d and linear thanks to the person who had it before me. *cough* Lee Zavitz *cough* 🤓👍

[@LeeZavitz]

It’s my fault. But hey. Linear and 180d throw is 👌🏽 I loved shooting with this lens

[@Linealo]

That sounds like a great option anyways!

[@n3cph0en1x]

I was about to write a comment about it :D

[@jeffrey3205]

Yup, if you want in-depth that's the guy.

[@silklion7375]

Thanks for letting us know! Im not sure if this is the perfect lens to start with or if I should stay with Sigma 24-70 2.8. Even thinking a7iv gives me two focal ranges with that apsc crop in 4k so why not going prime?!

[@DustinAbbottTWI]

Thanks for the shout-out, Gerald. I send people your way that have video questions that are out of my league! You do great work.

[@TazawaTanks]

So do you Dustin. I’ve been subscribed to your channel for quite awhile now, and I always visit your channel when I’m considering a lens.

[@TlhOnYT]

So much KZbinr love here ❤️

[@ÁzsiábaSzakadtam]

Subbed to both channels, both are very useful.

[@jjansendavid]

This is just awesome! 2 of my favorites!

[@Bo_Hazem]

I always anticipate your reviews, Dustin!

[@chrisbrockhurst]

Damn, this looks pretty impressive. 35-150 is such an odd range but way more useful than people think. Nice work as always, Gerald.

[@makestuffmike]

Seems like it might be a pretty good option for those that shoot 35mm/85mm in primes but want a bit more versatility and reach? I’m tempted for sure!

[@fred0c]

@@makestuffmike You nailed what i shoot in for video. I'm def tempted.

[@makestuffmike]

@@fred0c Right! I love my 35 1.4, thought about picking up an 85 because I wanted something longer than my 50 and the kit zoom isn’t cutting it for me because of the fstop. This lens and a 16-35 might be all I ever need. My poor wallet hahaha

[@CoffeeScribe]

I appreciate a person who is willing to give a shout-out to another person's work as Gerald did. Just love the authentic kindness in his heart in a huge way. The world needs more of this. Thanks, Gerald... and great review as always.

[@matthijsdedeugd]

Legend shouts out a legend 🙏🏻 Dustin's content is amazing!

[@Curtis-Randall]

I agree!

[@Jigsaw407]

Class act, with the shoutout for Dustin Abbott. He is one of my mandatory go to guys for every lens purchase. :)

[@1025mahoney]

Dustin does a great job with his deep dives. def more still based, but his long reviews are my gold standard.

[@hasenmyer]

you know what I like about dustin abbot is that he does a "normal" review for us that want it short and sweet and long format reviews for others that want more information That's a lot of work but much appreciated.

[@makestuffmike]

Yeah I though the same. More work but such a good idea. He makes it easy to get the desired level of info. Good concept I think

[@KandGProductions]

Absolutely love Dustin's videos as well as yours!! I really love how much promotion for other KZbinrs you've integrated into your channel the past few years! Just wanted to say thanks for the awesome work and let you know that it doesn't go unnoticed!

[@sstteevveenn77]

So glad you recognized Dustin. One of the best on this platform

[@TechMission]

Very impressed with the shout-out to Dustin. He is quite the authority in image quality. In fact, every time I review a lens, I always, with no exceptions, validate my results by cross checking with Dustin's!

[@غريبفيزمنعجيب-خ1س]

مرحبا دكتور متابعك في تك ميشن نورت

[@MikeLindup42]

Thanks Gerald, I have been watching Dustin's reviews for a while now and always find them to be thorough and reliable, so that will be my next stop!

[@JesseDriftwood]

Seems like an incredibly versatile piece of kit! Colour me interested!

[@Feliperoehefotografia]

🤜🤛

[@moistgooseberry]

Great video as always! Loved the Dustin shoutout too, you and him are my two favourite camera content creators so it's great to see you complimenting him haha

[@kevinkrause5798]

I was just recently saying that Dustin Abbot made really high quality content. Both of y’all are class acts.

[@brandondivine]

Really loving the more casual, relaxed vibe of the videos as of late. Great video, keep it up!

[@SuperJoePardo]

Dustin does great reviews!! Great job shouting him out!

[@GoodGuysMedia]

This is exciting. The lens, and the fact that it's YOUR review of it. Appreciate you producing this review despite your recent comments on becoming kind of board with doing these types of videos. Can't wait to see more tech and lens reviews from the undone perspective, and or whatever else you decide to branch out or into. Thanks bro🙌🙌

[@CheapCharlieChronicles]

That f2 with that zoom range is pretty sick. I enjoy the 24 mm focal length so starting at 35mm would be a deal breaker for me, but if you don’t care about wider than 35 this is perfect. This is like the perfect portrait lens. It’s also an amazing street photography lens if you don’t mind using zooms instead of primes.

[@CaseyHardman]

I'm with you! If this were 24-150, I'd probably sell my Sigma 24-70 and Tamron 70-180. lol

[@samolive2528]

I don't think this lens was meant to be an all in one. Pair this with the 17-28 2.8 and you have all the coverage you need. Unless you shoot wildlife, that is.

[@BreakdanceMusic]

@@CaseyHardman are you happy with these two? Sigma and Tamron combo? :p

[@Mrgreenyfed]

@@samolive2528 or a 14-24 sigma and you're good IMO.

[@trym2121]

Rather than portrait or street, this is the ultimate event lens. You need at max 2 lenses, this and a wide/uwa lens if wide is your jam.

[@superdude61598]

Dude so awesome to shout out Dustin, i saw his video while i waited for some larger youtubers and he was great

[@mehrdadhaghighi5140]

One of the best features of this lens is the possibility of setting A and B focus points that can be repeated by simply pushing one of the buttons on the lens. You can also set the speed which is amazing for video. I preordered the lens as soon as I heard about it and I’m super happy with it.

[@OkwyUgonweze]

How have you found the lens performance? Am looking to get one.

[@mehrdadhaghighi5140]

@@OkwyUgonweze it’s the best lens I own and I actually got rid of a couple of my prime lenses because of this lens so I’m super happy with it.

[@brennanlentz2452]

OK, so I have been watching a LOT of lens review videos and this is by far the best review with the most helpful information and best production quality and least amount of fluff. Will definitely check out more!

[@sanketnawle]

Thanks so much for giving Dustin a shout out man! I have always wondered why he doesn't get enough views and subscribers. I hope your video gives him the recognition he deserves!

[@hwirtwirt4500]

Dustin and yourself are among the very best camera and lens reviewers on KZbin or anywhere else. The dedication shown by both of you is greatly appreciated.

[@pathway1]

literally saw Dustin Abbott's video before coming to yours. Such a thorough and impressive review!

[@blupinto1629]

great that you are complementing dustin's review, which is indeed very good! thanks

[@skymakai]

I’ve loved Dustin’s reviews for the longest time. His reviews covering the IQ are great but he doesn’t cover video features so much.

[@mbvglider]

Dustin Abbott really is one of the gems of KZbin reviewers. But so is Gerald.

[@jmackultra]

You're incredible Gerald. And Dustin Abbot is also really good too. Good dude.

[@dansaghin1]

So nice to mention DA. He is one of the best camera and lenses reviewer out there!

[@MichaelTaylorFilms]

Please can we all take a moment to appreciate tremendous catch at 11:06! Everything was so smooth and seamless - hilarious!

[@JAXTWIN]

Glad to see you're having fun with the new Tamron lens! Big shouts to Lindsey as well! She did a great job with this video as well.

[@FelixHuray]

Always love your videos.. Very in depth, technical and objective. Please do more vlogs. Hahaha would love to see how you use your gears outside the studio. Love from Indonesia 🇮🇩 happy holidays 🎉

[@42Pros]

Great shout out to DA!!! He has awesome and very detailed reviews. My lens is great at controlling breathing, very minimal if any. I'm very pleased with what this lens brings to the table. Works well on the a6600 too, very similar results!

[@JoseTheRover]

I love that you shout out other creators! That’s how I got out in to Tight Shirt Terry

[@sidvicious3129]

Way to go Gerald nice review and way to give another KZbinr props. Dustin Abbott is awesome he does reviews in two and three parts depending on the product. Both of you do an awesome job and have earned the respect of the KZbin community. With Dustin covering his part and you covering the other part, nothing was left Undone.

[@Josh.Wilson]

Between your videos, and Dustin’s videos, we get pretty much everything we could ever need to know about camera gear / lenses. Great content from both of you, very informative, and well said!

[@DJRecordCLUE]

My new travel setup: Tamron 35-150, Sony 24mm GM F1.4, Sony 12-24mm F4. Everything in there you could need.

[@davidhrzenjak]

That is a mighty fine setup indeed.

[@sniperv]

Dustin’s channel is awesome! Always go there for solid in depth reviews.

[@Earlybird_712]

I could get behind Channel Raids with every video. Gerald tells us where to go and we boost someone’s channel like crazy.

[@gillesvanleeuwen]

Nice shout-out to Dustin. Dustin makes great work.

[@thewiseoldbird]

Thanks for the shout out for Dustin Abbott ! He's a great part of the KZbin review mix.

[@GeorgeRTurner]

Dustin’s channel is another great one! 🙂

[@TyisDigital]

I can tell in your heart your a real solid dude I subbed to I just based of the love u had for another KZbinrs content that’s luv!!

[@matitarey]

I don't even care if I can't afford the gear, I just hit the like and enjoy Gerald videos ever 🤗

[@paulfriedman]

Hell yes! Been waiting for a fast aperture zoom in this range for a while!

[@ActualKaktus]

I really enjoyed the format of this video. Excellent work!

[@JennyDarukat]

Didn't think a lens like this would be possible. When I saw the focal length & aperture a while ago for the first time I had to triple take it because this just sounds like THE perfect lens for someone like me that doesn't do architecture or landscapes

[@petebuoy]

Dustin is my main guy where I am getting info I need, just like you Gerald. And I like your new into 😉👍

[@TheGeocab]

Dustin has a great channel, nice to see you point him out.

[@AndyTran]

I see what you’re doing Gerald and I think it’s amazing! 🤜🏼

[@datdudeinred]

Dustin & Christopher Frost are 2 great lens reviewers on youtube period. Especially for photography.

[@MikeMarrah]

Pre ordered this and got it a few weeks ago. Paired with the A1 I almost never need another camera or lens. It's incredible. Used it to photograph college football this last weekend and it held up really well. Also, for anyone wondering, it can be balanced and used at the full zoom range on a Ronin S2

[@flochfitness]

👍👍

[@spycam111]

Do you know if it can be balanced on a Ronin S?

[@mathkaory1229]

Hi Mike, did you test the max fps of this lens with the A1 ? Thanks

[@MikeMarrah]

@@mathkaory1229 I didn't. I tend to shoot in medium speed for most fast paced things anyways. I think it handled 10fps no problem, but I didn't test anything faster than that. I know Sony locks out the fastest speeds to Sony specific lenses though.

[@MikeMarrah]

@@spycam111 I haven't tried that yet. I think it would be close. It could definitely be balanced, but I'm not sure about the full zoom range. It should be noted that my cameras have smallrig cages on them.

[@burrdaddy]

Love that you threw love to Dustin. Well done.

[@hubert_pelletier]

I see this lens being really good for multiple camera shoot for event. Where one can be on the wide shoots with a 16-35 and the other can film all the tight/telephoto shoot with this 35-150!

[@hhielscher]

7:27 how can you cancel tracking so fast? Do you have it on a shortcut?

[@chrismckeown1297]

Great review, and very nice name check for Dustin's channel, really nicely done !

My dealer called me up this morning to tell me that this lens is finally coming my way! Good to see the Rev mentioned in this video 😎

[@BrainDesmo]

Bravo to Tamron for this lens and to Gerald for this video.

[@paulengle5784]

The G-master shade at ~6:40 was excellent and subtle.

[@jtouch2859]

Gerald as usual give us the best about any lens ❤️👌🏻

[@MichaelScrip]

This looks like a great walkaround lens for event photography and video. Big zoom range and wide aperture. I will definitely rent this for events. 😎

[@My123Tutorials]

I really hope that we Canon shooters will also be able to get this lens! This seems so perfect for wedding photography or run`n`gun video.

[@hevaKmaI]

How do you feel this lens compares to the Sony 70-200 f/2.8 GM II? How does the IQ compare in the range where they overlap?

[@marvinmachts]

Will you also make a review of the Tamron 28-75 G2? Thanks

[@fieldofweeds]

Thank you! I didn’t understand the use case for this (I have a 35, 100, and 200 prime) until you demonstrated the parfocal ability.

[@sagaari]

This sounds wonderful lens for weddings! It does what I need from 35mm f1.8 and even more. The versatility of zoom lens without the typical problems of zoom lens is a plus. Not sure if 85mm f1.8 is needed anymore unless 1.8/1.4 is so important at 85mm vs 2.8. Could pair fairly well with 85mm f1.4 if shots at dark wedding receptions are needed.

[@Jaydoublyou]

I think having 85 1.4 still makes sense vs 2.8 if 85 is a focal length you use a lot. 35 or 50mm make less sense

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Thanks again, Gerald. One of my main draws to Sony is the variety of Sigma and Tamron lenses available.

[@florian-sngr]

Hey Gerald, love your very in depth reviews about photo/filmgear. Regarding the focusthrow on this lens, you could've mentioned that you can change the way this lens focuses with the Tamron Software for this lens. I think you can even set it to linear 360° :)

[@onnie1968]

Thank you Gerald :) really enjoy your honest reviews :).

[@RossActual]

I love super zooms. This makes me excited for the future.

[@mathieu.maurel.brunchstudio]

Great review for a great lens! Thanks Gerald!

[@picattiu4813]

So thankful you gave a shoutout to dustin abbot, he is one of my go-to reviewers when i shop for lenses

[@TazawaTanks]

Yep, I’ve been watching and have been subscribed to Dustin Abbott for at least a year now. He makes very thorough videos on lenses and other camera gear.

[@SummitForWellness]

Can you do a review of Tamron's new 28-75 v2 and how well that does for video?

[@davidlongenecker9414]

I’m really impressed… when I first heard about this lens, I really really had my doubts. It seemed too good to be true. Seems like it holds up! Definitely considering it a lot

[@erg1450]

Good video, thanks, after weeks assessing this lens, I sold my 28-75 and bought this lens, yes, it is heavy, but, given the benefits of the range . it is easy to forget about it, I tested this against my 70-200 GM II in the 70-150 range, and it is as sharp as the GM for all intended purposes , I think this will be. keeper for me, not having to change lenses is a big plus !!! I am taking this to a couple of indoor events this weekend and will be the real test i the field.....but, so far, I think Tamron has a winer here ( an expensive one ). BTW, I was temped to order the Samyang equivalent, but, that one is heavier and not too many reviews out there to get the confidence to sink $1,400

[@Havanu81]

Hi Lindsay! - also great recommendation. I always like it when channels recommend each other - every one has their own niche/focus and his review is very complementary to yours if you consider buying one. Also, a pastor on KZbin! That's a first for me.

[@NorfKhazad]

This seems ridiculously good, and it's perfectly suited what I shoot. I'll definitely be buying this.

[@dnaeye]

Love it when photog vloggers join forces!!

[@georgedavall9449]

Nice shout out for Dustin Abbott. I love to see that! Good stuff. Thumbs up! Great detailed evaluation here. Really enjoy your videos! Stay safe and Healthy! Happy Shooting! 👍👍👍✌🏻😃📷

[@thewiseoldbird]

Hey Mr G your video has triggered a selling out of the lens in the UK. Speaking to one good dealer they said they had a lot of orders yesterday evening!👍🏼👍🏼

[@NJC-Creation]

I usually use 24-70mm zoom lenses due to their flexibilty. For situations like interviews and closeups, this lens could be a nice add on, especially on a second cam or a large cam (as the FX6) on a tripod, which is heavy in itself. Thanks for your revue!

[@crystalpulseTV]

Good job Tamron! Fantastic review G!

[@EasyTigerCreative]

I pre-ordered it late October and I’m so ready to get it so I can put it to the test and review it too! One day I’ll get those products early to review too! Haha love the video as always!

[@RicochetForce]

I have to echo this. Dustin's lens reviews are fucking incredible. Super in-depth AND shorter versions of the reviews.

[@sandboxaperture7013]

I love that he gave a shout out to Dustin Abbott. I've been subscribed to him for years. Love his sharp and technical breakdown of lenses and cameras.

[@JCustom]

Been watching DA for quite some time, dude is awesome

[@VariTimo]

It would be great if we’d get more 28-70mm f2 lenses. And an 18-50mm f2 for Super 35. Especially if they’re breathing corrected.

[@onnie1968]

Thank you Gerald :) I'm slowly moving over from Lumix to Sony. I just picked up the Sony A7III, so looking for a few lens. This helped a lot thank you bro.

[@kanaheiusagi]

Excellent and truthful reviews from Dustin Abbott, and really appreaciated your shoutout to him. Both reviews from you guys on the 35-150 was spot on to my experience in using the lens, and really did some justice to one of the earlier negative review on lens regarding AF, which I believe was either a bad copy out of the box or was bottlenecked by the A7R4 with its slower AF than A1/A7sIII and had unrealistic expectations on it. That said, the AF of a dedicated 70-200 would be more reliable for fast action with naturally lighter elements to move around and OSS for panning shots, but this lens would definitely get the job done nonethless. Ive shot a small sized soccer game with this with 80-90% keepers

[@arnisbrown5848]

I'll watch Dustin Abbott (and Christopher Frost) videos even when I have no interest in the lenses just because I find them relaxing lol. Glad to see him getting appreciation.

[@JirehTorres]

Was looking for a 24-105ish alternative and this might be it! Thanks for the amazing work as usual, Gerald!

I am loving it and I am going to buy one.
