Hello Jake. Love the locations you get to explore. I wanted to ask you - would you recommend the Tamron 70-300 or the 70-180 for landscape shots? I’d like to see some compression in my landscape photos, but the fact that the latter Tammy is 20mm shorter than a regular 70-200 is a bit discouraging. That being said, the 70-300 is slowish (plus lack of OSS on the longer end might be a problem)

@@JakeSloan would you think the 70-180 would be long enough reach if I were to be shooting surfers out back (of course from land?)

I’m struggling with this lens at 300mm, or the 180mm, and then get a ‘proper’ long 150-500 at a alater date. I’m so indecisive unless I’ve had hands on use. Your reviews always help.

Hey Jake, really enjoying your content... I saw you last night on TNL and I actually had no idea how for in depth you are with FPV. You mentioned getting started and how you thought you would initially start out by building a 5” quad and just seeing how things go until you realized what such a deep hole you were diving into... I’m pretty much just a GPS drone pilot up until this point, and so my question is, I’d like to get into the cinewhoop aspect of FPV, so, would it be wise of me, or not, to go out and purchase something like the Aerialvation cinestar , the complete turn key kit, DJI goggles, naked go pro, the whole kit and kabootle in one case, or would you recommend starting out by taking baby steps, something like you did?

Hi, i bought a7c because it is more lightweight and have gyro data better processor better autofocus. One day Sony will release a verical grip extension and it will be perfect. But you already have a smallrig cage for 44$ and can add handles. I bought it with the Tamron 17-28 and microphone Azden smx30 mono/stereo. The gyro data stabilization is fantastic. The package is fantastic. Photos are outstanding and videos are superb. Even for photos the a7c due to more accurate and faster autofocus. The flip screen is fantastic and is mandatory feature to me. It is a baby a7sIII., but better photos resolution. The evf is very clear and very good to my opinion. I have a bad sight and have no issue with it. With Tamron lens you get a pro camera very lightweight compared to a7iii or bigger camera. It is the best hybrid camera right now in the entire market. You would not be disappointed.

They are both very sharp and either one will do you very well but this is smaller and lighter than the 70-180 so that might make a difference for you

I recently bought a used mint Sony FE 70-300mm OSS G lens for about 700. The Tamron might be a bit sharper, but I still love the images I get with the Sony on my old a7rii. Plus the OSS really helps at the long end. I would never pay full price for the Sony however. Anyway, thanks for your great review! I did use the Tamron for a few days and did get some really nice sharp images, but had to crank up the shutter speeds quite a bit at the long end. So I spent about 150 more for the used Sony, but for me it was worth it. I'm not shooting wildlife but more outdoor events. If I were shooting wildlife, I think I would want at least a 100-400mm, or preferably even a longer zoom like a 200mm-600mm, but the cost of that Sony lens is about 2,000 dollars.
