In your opinion, if you could choose a different lens, which one would you go with, and why?

I like that you showed the experience of directing people for the photos. As someone who wants to get into wedding photography, that seems like the scariest part

I appreciate it man. I did the same thing too when I was starting I watched lots of behind the scenes. After a few weddings, it becomes second nature directing people. You get a routine and then you rinse and repeat. Good luck!

Don't think I have seen a worse venue and overall occasion. The photographer did a really good job working with this and I don't want to take anything away from his efforts.

Rough. I loved it for being outdoors, it was so well lit that it made my photos pop.

I have an 18-35 Art of Sigma and the Autofocus is terrible for Weddings. Now I‘m searching for good Videos of the Tamron. Thx for this my friend and best Greetings from Germany 😎🤝🏼

For video, do you find the Tamron's VC fighting against the IBIS of the FX30 at the telephoto end during handheld? Some people say you get little jumps in the footage. Is it that bad?

@samatardavidbndphotofilm

I use it with a Fuji XT4. You get the little jitter in the 1st second or so and then it stabilizes.

i find the 17-70 2.8 a very soft lens for photography, perfect for video and that's al i use it for to be honest.

@samatardavidbndphotofilm

Really? I find it too sharp to be honest for photos. I use my 23mm f1.4 for when I want a soft image. That's also the lens I use to make my talking head videos. The 17-70 for my taste reveals too much skin texture and details especially when you do close ups.

You can use a glimmerfilter for a better mood

Really cool job)

Thank you for the kind comment!

You have displayed high-value skills in covering this wedding, considering all conditions were not in your favour. And this Tamron lens certainly helped you achieving this, for it obviously is a Swiss-knife for video/photo mixed creation. The place, on the contrary, did not help as much. Folks there could have, at least, hide this ugly garage door ! It's 100% OK to set a venue up in a farm grange... nothing wrong with that, providing you pamper it somehow to make it look like a place for HOSTING WEDDINGS. Not parking lawnmowers or tractors (to which I have nothing against, as a former horticulturist). But when you rent a place for some type of events, that said place has to be up to the task for the specific purpose... a minimum ! This is also why everyone must admit you have done a great job in showing only the best sides of the place, and hide the worst to brighten the moments. Bravo !

I think especially the group pictures had way too less saturation or colour bc it looked so soft

Would you recommend this lens for videos as well? I've heard the auto-focus while zooming is bad. I'm planning to use it mostly manually.

@samatardavidbndphotofilm

4 ай бұрын

Yes It's why I bought it mainly for the video capability.As long as you go slow while zooming in, it keeps the focus.

I had the Fuji version but returned it the next day. At 70mm not sharp at all and after some testing it had the worst back focus. Quite strange on a mirrorless camera bit it just was there.

I get it, it's not a perfect lens but it checked off everything I needed for hybrid coverage. I needed a 24-70 at f2.8 or lower that also had IBIS. It does weird vignetting if not perfectly connected with the camera body. But for all the features and the price, it is as good as it gets for me. I use a second body with a 85mm f1.2 when I want the best possible photo.

Hi, I’m planning to buy this lens ( 17-70 2.8 tamron ) for photography specifically for wedding photography, covering both the ceremony and reception. My camera body is the Sony a6400. Previously, I used the Sony 18-105mm f/4 lens, but I found it lacking in sharpness. Could you please recommend a suitable lens that would provide better image quality for these types of events? Thank you!

If you are looking for a variable zoom lens for photography only, I would go with the fuji 16-55 lens. This lens is for people who want to also do video as it has image stabilzation. When I did wedding photo only, I found the best combination was 2 fuji cameras with the 23mm f1.4 and the 85mm f.12.

just ordered this lens. so versiatile. what camera are you using with the tamron?

@samatardavidbndphotofilm

The fujifilm XT4. It's an amazing camera for the price and quality.

Cool Video! What aspect ratio do you use for your pictures?

I use the standard 3:2 aspect ratio but I often crop my images using the rule of 3rd and also I crop to eliminate distractions.

Thank you I am thinking about buying a Fuji camera. Do you recommend buying any model? Photo and sports wedding There are many models for Fuji Fujifilm X-T5 Fujifilm X-T4 Fujifilm X-H2S X-T50

It depends. If you want to shoot video go with the XH2S but if it is mostly photos, go with the XT5.
