Smart people use Tamron. It's very hard to find competitive advantage if you compare most of the other brands. An underrated feature is the uniform filter size. You don't have to fiddle with various filters on the go, you have the peace of mind that your filter will fit on always.

I just started with my wedding photography career and i am looking for a lens which can cover wide angle and i can do all in one lens so can you suggest which lens should i go for i am planning for 28-75mm f2.8 or 70-180mm so which should i go for??

The Tamron 35-150 comes the closest, but you might also need a wide angle zoom such as the 17-28 for establishing shots and dance floor coverage.

This confirmed I definitely want the 70-180 f/2.8 . I currently have the 17-28 and 28-75 f/2.8 those three would cover everything I need. Tamron owes you commission on all 3 of my Tamron lenses

I was fortunate enough to purchase the hard-to-find 35-150, and if anyone reading this is on the fence, it truly lives up to the hype. It's so sharp that even 61mp files from the a7r iv look perfect, and the 4x zoom range is so versatile that it rarely leaves my camera. It has made traveling so much easier, because I leave the 35, 50, 85 and 135 primes at home. It really is near-prime quality at all of those focal lengths. Thanks for the vid! Might pick up the 150-500 next after seeing your results.

I'd suggest anyone before buying to analyse which focal length they mainly use. Particularly if you see that you are using 24 or 28mm quite often, you should have a serious plan on how to cover those. I bought this lense, thinking I'm good with 35mm, just to realize that just way too many times those where not enough for me and that on the other hand I rarely used the longer end. Since I mostly want only one lens to carry, I sold it. I realized that having f2 at the lower end doesn't make much of a difference, at least to me. This lens is as well not for those who prefer clean bokeh balls. Unfortunately, Tamron managed to make those look full of small grains of dirt. To me, they are not appealing. Cats' eyes are a thing, too. In images where bokeh balls do not appear, the bokeh is, however, smooth and only gets a bit restless at the longer end with challenging backgrounds. What I strongly noticed with this lens was that the bokeh improved when I disabled e-Front Curtain Shutter on my A7R3. You might want to give that a try. Study as well carefully the colour shift this lens creates. Under indoors light, it tends to push the colours into a brown tone, which is not so easy to correct with white ballance. Outdoors, it was not so appearent. This is a matter of personal taste, though. The lens cap is annoying to remove. However, I found a great solution to fix that. Buy an 82mm Expodisc and combine it with those two: - Hoya 82.0MM,INSTANT ACTION,CONVERSION RING - Hoya 82.0MM,INSTANT ACTION,ADAPTER RING Thank me later for that last tip. 😆

Hi Jake, Your video has helped me narrow down what zoom lens to purchase somewhat. I'm still out here fishing and would like your opinion to help me make a final decision. I really want one lens that would meet all my needs. I am not by far a professional photographer, just your average guy that like to make videos and take pictures. Not sure if the 28-200 will be wide enough when I vlog, so that's why I'm still a little undecided and if you have any other suggestions other than the Tamron, that would be greatly appreciated. I currently own a Sony a7c, thanks Robert.

I would start with the tamron 28-200 for sure it's one of the best all around lenses on the market in my opinion

I use the 70-200/2.8 G2 on my Nikon Z50. Even with the FTZ adapter it works perfectly. It's sharp, the focus doesn't hunt (except for difficult lighting situations but that is on the Z50) and the shots are, at least from my experience, very easy to edit because the lens gives you nice contrast but also a pretty neutral image you can turn into anything you want. When it came to market it also was just a great deal in general, especially compared to Nikon's own first party 70-200/2.8.

I will probably get the 28-75 II and 70-180 as my skills grow. I wish the the 70-180 had optical image stabilization for video. With clear image zoom there are few focal lengths missing for my use. I picked up the Sigma 100-400 for a good price before the 50-400 came out or I would have got the Tamron. I did splurge and get the Sony 24mm 1.4 GM 😃.

I’m in the same boat and while 20-400mm in just 2 lenses sounds amazing, I’m still not sure about the cut off at 40-50mm. I find I often shoot a bit below and a bit above 50 which is easy with the 28-200, but would require lots of lens switching with the 20-40 & 50-400. Wondering if anyone has gone this route and what their experience is..

35-150 Gang! Slap that bad boy on an A7IV, and maybe keep a nifty 16mm Viltrox F1.8 in your bag, and you have everything you need from 16-150mm and all the gear you need to do a A* Wedding shoot. Weirdly my favourite Portrait lens is the Tamron 35-150 at 85mm & 135mm @ F2.8, perfect separation for solo/close couples, bump it to F4 for a group and if I want anything wider and more inclusive, 16mm Viltrox at F4, and for videos, that "Parfocal" is pretty damn incredible...surprisingly good for gimbal work too!
