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!

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@matthijsdedeugd]

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

[@Curtis-Randall]

I agree!

[@1025mahoney]

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

[@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!

[@Jigsaw407]

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

[@sstteevveenn77]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@JesseDriftwood]

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

[@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.

[@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🙌🙌

[@SuperJoePardo]

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

[@brandondivine]

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

[@kevinkrause5798]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@dansaghin1]

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

[@jmackultra]

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

[@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

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.

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

[@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.

[@RicochetForce]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@evrimagaci]

Quick question: Would an Atomos Ninja V+ (with its currently reduced price) be a good addition to Sony A7S III or would it be a waste of money? Any ideas? Thanks a lot!

[@morganm3362]

What benefit are you looking for?

[@evrimagaci]

@@morganm3362 That is a good question. 😊 I guess you know how Ninja is almost a must for Canon R5 and it pretty much "unlocks" it's potential? I wonder if it adds value in terms of things you can do with A7S3 too?

[@morganm3362]

@@evrimagaci no I don't really follow Canon unfortunately, but from what I've heard the Ninja won't do anything to improve the a7siii's image quality. I'm sure it's a good monitor but I don't think there's any use using an external recorder for it.

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

[@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!

[@WaleedDeeba]

I absolutely love the ending bloopers 😄 made my day

[@robertcudlipp3426]

Have read numerous reviews of this lens. Tamron is really kicking goals with new releases. I tend to shoot wider. 35 mm is just not wide enough for me- 24mm is really a must. We all differ. Distance is ok ,not that I shoot long often ,but imagine Tamron sell a 1.4converter.

[@AR-vf7vg]

24-105mm Sony (I dont know the Sigma version) has stabilization and it feels very compact and light to me and since I needed "such a zoom" seldomly and 'only for reportage' and for rare filming, f4 (very good at it) is totally fine with me. (I mainly photograph with f1.2 35mm and 50mm and f1.4 85 and 105). 24mm is a must to me, and 70mm is not enough. (So the second body with 14-24 or a 24f1.4 would become necessary.). And it is stabilized, and with excellent "macro" capabilities. (4 linear AF motors would be nice but not missing) I find it is too often forgotten, hence my writing. I do agree; this Tamron (though 'massive') and at its aperture, would be my perfect 70-200 f2.8 replacement - that I never whanted to have though :-) . No thats not fair since it is precisally this 35-70 part that makes it so uniquely usefull (but not wide enough for me).

[@NowyKurs]

Im really happy with my TAMRON 70 - 210. It’s really a quality glass. Even as sharp as SIGMA ART series but fraction of price for zoom lens you would pay with Canon or Sony. Highly recommended. Tamron made huge progress with their products.

[@QuietOC]

It seems like all the Tamrons are varifocal, but they work well with Sony's focus compensation. Did you try zooming quickly? There is some lag. The different minimum object distances of the 35-150 implies a varifocal lens.

[@RossActual]

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

[@Scorge120]

Tamron 35-150mm + a7sIII, Sony 20mm or 24mm prime + a7iv might be my combo. Apparently you can get the Tamron balanced on a gimbal too.

[@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° :)

[@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. 😎

[@nogerboher5266]

I don't care about anything, I'm getting this lens just because it covers all 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 100mm and 135mm - ALL AT f2 to f2.8! AND ALL for only 1,500 EUR! I can have all of the focal lengths I need for work covered WITH JUST ONE LENS AND ALL WHILE NOT GOING ABOVE f2.8!!!!! THAT'S GAME CHANGING FOR ME! I wanted someone to make a 35-135mm f2 lens for the LOOONGEST TIME EVER!! I am now upgrading from two Z6's to two a7IV's and I didn't even know this lens existed up until now! I will be getting one as soon as my new a7IV's are in my hands!
