Hi Sir. Could you please make a video comparison between Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 aps-c & Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 FE. As the FE lens has dropped its price, now it's less than the Aps-c in India.

Production quality: 1,000,000! Great job, loved every minute!

I‘m in Tokyo at the moment and there are almost no cherry blossems to see yet. Maybe he should have mentioned that the video was not filmed in 2024… but excellent video anyway.

I gotta be honest it’s just a white tree, not even pink. It looks cool but feels kinda gimmicky. I think you can find a tree with some colourful flowers in many places in the world I’ve seen many of them in my city.

The best tip about visiting Japan during cherry blossom time is not to go and find any other moment. It is super expensive, it is likely you will miss it and even when you do see it the view is ruined by blue picknick cloths. Go there few weeks earlier to see Miyako Odori in Kyoto.

This video wastes a lot of time. We are interested ONLY in the spots where the blossoms are, not the failed spots and certainly not your infomercial trying to sell a particular brand of camera/lens. Big thumbs down.

Must be tough to smile when things don't go your way. Nevertheless, this vid is very well done! 🥹
