It's the happy hippo among these lenses : )

My Tamron 70-180 broke internally when I was taking off the lens hood. Just the pressure of twisting the hood off the barrel was enough to crack something inside it and not allow it to zoom properly. It was quoted as a $700 repair so I went out and bought the metal G Master. No issues with that one so far.

Was that the G2?

Now that Tamron has added image stabilization to the 70-180, for me that's the clear choice. Overall I like that Tamron has great close focusing and uniform 67mm filter size.

i would problably go with the sigma 70-200mm! It's an incredible lens for it's price point!

For photography I agree: the f2.8 is necessary, but for video especially with an FX3 or A7IV it's really not since you have dual ISO. The 70-200 f4 macro is better than the new Tamron G2's stabilization... the Tamron has a weird glitchy stabilization which is more visible over a 100mm... so I would say depends on your needs, the Tamron 70-180 G2 is an easy pick when it comes to photos only, but if you are a hybrid shooter I think the 70-200 f4 macro is better overall. Also when the OSS kicks in you can shoot at 200mm with a 1/100 (or even lower) shutter speed handheld (to compensate for the F4) and get a perfectly clean image.

what lens do you use that compares with what this lens can do and features it has?@@hellolau

Great analyses of the three. I bought the Sony 2.8 when it first arrived and have never looked back.

This video is weird dude. The Tamron 70-180 g2 has been out for 6 months now and you choose the worst version to review. And you ignored the sigma which is very good in its own right. Strange choices.

A lot of people are saying the G2 Tamron only upgrade is the stabilization , and I heard it’s not good so the G1 bought used is the best bang for the buck !

I agree it would have been nice is the Sigma was there, as well as the Tamron G2 as that does have IS.

Hi, what about 70-200 f4 mark 2 with 2x teleconverter compare with 50-400 tamron? Personally, I love to use camera when going to trekking or hiking trips. I am hesitated between these two. I would be appreciated, if I hear your thoughts. Thank you.

The 70-200 F4 Macro G OSS II also has a zoom lock button, although, I don’t find I really need to use it. Also, you center and corner comparison was at minimum aperture. I shoot mostly landscape, between f8 and f11, sometimes more. It is my understanding the F4 G II is as sharp or sharper in the corners than the GM in the smaller aperture range. Did you take any of those for comparison?

Yes I shot everything but didn't go into details to keep the video less than an hour. At f/8 at 70mm and at 200mm the f/4 lens looks the same if not even a little little sharper than Sony's f/2.8 lens in the center and edges of the frame. If you don't care about shooting at f/2.8 the f/4 version seems like the clear choice.

@@lewcehjitl3282 The Sigma 500mm does look like an awesome lens. Looks like the Sony 300 would have some competition if Sony allowed them to support a teleconverter. That said, the 500mm is just not as flexible as a 70-200.

I’m surprised the Tamron 35-150 F/2 - F/2.8 didn’t make a guest appearance.

70-200 is not a good range for wildlife. Better to get a 100-400, or a 200-600.

The F4 can go 1:1 macro with the 2x adapter

Update on the ecotank 6months later?

Well if you have $3K to blow and assuming no vast difference in wildlife/fast action perforance, the choice is clear. Get used versions of both the Tamron for the 2.8 and the sony f4 for macro. both are lighter/easier/more likely to be carried around, and both have 95%+ of the big boy's performance (and some things it can't do). lol

Have been shooting the Sony 2.8 lens a few times. Its insane, but youre right If you dont know what a photo is shot with, you might not notice it 🎉

Son grow up so fast, lucky he have that great dad.

maybe - one more option to consider: the weight ! if you are working the whole day with your equipment...

As a wedding photographer, the tamron is a no brainer for me

Sigma 70 - 200mm f2.8 DG DN OS Sport lens is a great lens for the price.

The Sigma 70-200 kicks!

IMHO, 70-200mm f/2.8 GM II for sports and fast action. Tamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8 for portraits and events.

How do you start this video without even mentioning the new Sigma 70-200...

Tamron 35-150 with the A1 or A7rV for the win. 20mp Apsc at 225 is perfect .

Seems like you guys completely forgot about the Sigma 70-200mm DG DN.

❤

A test with the SIGMA version missing does not make sense at all, it's probably the best option if you don't need >15 FPS and Extenders are not important for you .....

Tamron needs a touch more magenta and saturation. Make a preset.

This comparison while interesting, is very much unfair for Tamron. You should be comparing both older versions of lenses (Sony SEL70200GM with older Tamron version) or both newer versions (SEL70200GM2 with latest Tamron). Older Sony lens is not that great as the latest one. And similarly latest Tamron lens is way better than the old version - it not only has the stabilization (VC) which is great alone but also is significantly sharper in some situations that older Tamron lens. But the price is also a huge factor - in image quality Sony and Tamron are almost the same (Sony is a little bit better but that's not a deal breaker in most situations) while Tamron is less than half the price of latest Sony SEL70200GM2 lens.

8:00 is misinformation, tamron has stabilization.

He is doing a comparison of the Tamron G1 which doesn't have VC. G2 has VC and he mentions this as an alternative option straight afterwards. 😂

I chose the F4 version from Sony because it is compact and therefore fits my Sony A7Cr wonderfully. In terms of quality, the optics are quite comparable to the 2.8 variant and the macro function is an addition that allows someone who only occasionally does macros to save money on a specialized lens. Together with the Sony F4/20-70 it forms a wonderfully compact and visually appealing combination for all occasions without having to compromise on quality.

Why was this video even pushed out, guy didnt even have half of the competitor's cool lenses like the sigma 70-200, or the 70-180 g2, or the 35-150 f2-2.8, might as well just say buy the gmaster its the best lens here

why is your focus all wrong?, if you are a pro you should know where to put your f-stop at to get a wider depth of filed........? if you have a foot difference between face and lens so you should be filming at, at least f6.5 and up...

Missing Sigma 70-200 criminal 😮

The Sigma would be a great option too

There's something twisted in the average photographer's mind nowadays: for a sound mind photographer, a 200mm lens is NOT purchased for the sake of "boke"... it's bought because he needs that reach!

Your comment reflects a narrow perspective. Judging others without knowing them isn't fair. Maybe it's time to step down from that pedestal and consider that everyone has their own reasons for their choices. Calling someone else's mind "twisted" reveals more about your own mindset than theirs.

Hurts my ears everytime you say bokah instead of boKEH
