Nice vid man, some great takes, I'm in the market for one of these but I think i'll be going F4 as OSS makes up for lake of 2.8 for me. Great shots

Thank you man!!

For me as a user looking for my first zoom lens, this video makes me happy, since are videos to rough others to light ,but you simply gave a balance idea , for me as a traveler and nature lover, I am dying to test it on different ways, one of them is its macro option , Tamron is a better option , definitely I will go for it, no OSS, well my 50mm does not have it , but pros and cons, pros are way better than cons, definitely will be my next lens. Thank you so much for give us a better idea and not just a fanatic opinion. 😎📸 Grettings from Panama

Hey, so glad I could help you with your decision making on this!

as someone just recently getting started in phgtography and starting to look into telephoto lenses the tamron looks like the most affordable for what you get. It's still not "cheap", especially for a student but I might have to purchase one in the near future. The question is, do I buy a wide zoom lens first (like the sigma 16-28 f2.8) or do I go for the tamron, we'll see! Great video Luke!

First of all, awesome to hear that you’re getting into photography! Enjoy it!! Defo not a ‘cheap’ lens but worth the investment (in my opinion). What lens you go for first is up to you, if you’ve got an idea if you prefer wide or zoom then that’ll help. If not, I’d advise going wider first, I believe there’s more capability for you to learn with wide lenses ☺️

@@lukepalms_ Thanks for the answer! If you could recommend a wide lens for sony E-mount, which lens would u recommend? ☺

Hey thanks for the video! I am shooting my Mountainbike Friends only and I am wondering if there is any difference with the autofocus between these lenses. Could you say something about this? :)

I've not used the Sony physically however I did a lot of research and as far as I (or anyone doing comparisons) could tell theres little to no noticeable difference in autofocus performance :)

I'm into doing the same, what did you end up getting?

Wow, a lens review without a single image shot with that lens (as far as I see). What a waste of time. And without a comparison to the Sony that’s mentioned in the title.

Good video. I bought this lens and sold my Sony 70-200 f4 G lens. The Tamron was definitely better overall than Sony. Given that its also smaller and lighter that's a great achievement. But everyone has different priorities and both lenses are pretty good and will work well. This T beats the Sony G by being +1 stop faster and sharper into the edges, especially at 70mm end. But Sony will be good enough for most I suspect. At tele end the Sony is a tad better in my tests but honestly very little in it. Sony does go a tad further too at 200mm and benefits from OSS and arguably better build quality. But then again I can't remember if it had as good weather sealing at mount (no rubber gasket from memory) whilst Tamron does have a rubber gasket. If you can afford one, wait for back orders, money is no object and you want the best of the best then it's still a nobrainer that you stump up almost 3 times as much for a new Sony 70-200 GM mk II vs a good used Tamron online. If that's not you then honestly both this Tamron and the Sony G are solid choices, albeit emphasising different qualities. Worst choice IMO is to pay double for the old Sony GM 70-200 mk I (original) at almost twice the price, size, weight with negligible benefits in many important areas.

@@lukepalms_ I have now taken delivery of Sony's GM 70-200 f2.8 mk ii and I'm delighted. I knew it was much lighter. Theory is one thing, but just picking it I immediately realised how much lighter it was vs. than I had expected. It's a really neat package that I have no hesitation in recommending, if one can stretch to afford it. Not small by any means, but very well crafted and a joy to use. The quality and sharpness are outstanding. Main downside is it's circa x3 cost vs a used Tamron 70-180 so it's not a value proposition. Once the 'pain' of paying is forgotten you are left with an excellent lens that will likely become a favourite. For me, I'm pleased I sold my otherwise pretty good Tamron to upgrade to this improved Sony version. I also realise that I'm fortunate to able to afford one and enjoy, for me, what is an indulgent hobby. For travel use (a key application for me) it will become one of my very few 'lenses of choice'. I have just also bought a 1.4x converter to have slightly more travel reach (280mm) without losing too much quality or light (f4). For sure not all think TCs are any good, but there isn't an even half good option on either the original f4 G or Tamron, so for me this combo wins on versatility too. Whilst it's not a macro lens, esp when fitted with a 1.4x, it's close to macro. I haven't measured exact size detail but it must be getting on for circa half life size repro. So when used with a reasonable sensor (I'm now using an a7iv) there is also an option to crop too - meaning one less lens is needed unless true macro essential. When at home, or on a specific day assignment, there are always other (prime) choices that are excellent alternatives. I'm lucky to also own a broad range of primes too, like the excellent 135mm f1.8 (possibly the sharpest lens I ever used) and 90mm f2.8 macro - but I can't easily handle that heft when travelling, so something more versatile is needed. Same applies at the wide end. I eventually bought the GM 16-35 GM (for travel) but prefer to shoot one or more of several wide primes when not constrained by bulk, weight and hassle time switching lenses. Each to their own.
