Which of these lenses would you buy and why?

Hi Ralph. A quick correction on focusing distance myths. In this case, the nearest focusing distances. That distance isn't measured from the front of the lens to the subject, it's measured from the focal plane to the subject. The focal plane (front of the sensor) and that is marked on the top of your Nikon body by a thin short line on one side or the other of the (view)finder. Get a tape measure & prove it to yourself.

The Tamron is a very solid offering. My pleasure.

Just grabbed the Tamron 28-75 G2 for ~740 EUR in a local promo, similar to current EU summer promo on the 28-75 G2 E-mount version (699 E). Just didn't make sense to throw 2k on the Nikon now. Plus I can adapt all of my 77mm filters... dooh.

@@petercintula6750 EXTRA20 discount code on checkout (might need to re-enter it if you change/update your cart) . Looks like it might be valid until 07/23 but not sure...

Can someone explain why Nikon 28-75 also is much cheaper than 24-70? Also I always thought, that 24-70f4 would be nice for not proffesional use eslecially because of weight, now this tamron looks very interesting as well :o

I have the f4 and it’s a great lens but the f2.8 seems to make a huge difference.

Because it's also tamron 28-75 (but 1st generation) with "nikon" nameplate on it

Спасибо огромное, Ральф. Все думал, тамрон брать или никон который в два раза дороже. Буду покупать тамрон.

Please change your channel name to Monkey Out of a Hat 🐵😆 Quick note on measuring minimum focus distance, that’s measured from the sensor plane. Only mention that because it brings the Tamron even closer, which is really impressive for this price point.

28mm is not wide enough for me but may be great for others 🙂 Great channel you have here, such an underrated gem with tons of useful info! 👏

You can pair it with excellent Nikkor 17-28mm f2.8. Also Tamron design.
