Great comparison video, just cleared my questions on what the difference was between the two!! But one question if you dont mind, which one would you recommend for outdoor/desert fashion photography at night (bear in mind this will be my first night photography so I am preparing myself :) .)
Glad i helped mate. About your question, if you intend to use it at night, even if you have some flash, I would steer you on getting the 28-75mm because of the constant f/2.8 aperture. Otherwise; for all around on broad daylight, then you can’t go wrong with the 28-200. All the best
Anyone shooting with this lens? Please comment your experiences below.
Did I change shutter…if yes which is the right number
It is a decent lens yet I was never tempted by it due to its rather limited FL range. The 17mm on the wide end is so so, 28mm is rather ok yet with the 17mm start it could go to 35mm. Or start at 14, 15mm with the end at 28mm. Therefore I chose the Sigma 14-24/2.8 and I still have it. It is fabulous.
Good point. Can’t go wrong with either of these lenses. Isn’t the Sigma big and can’t take filters? All the best. Thanks
My starter lens from 2018 and I still use it to this day
Such an amazing piece of glass. Blends well with alpha mirrorless cameras, making them extremely compact.
Interesting presentation for this video. Asmr meets review, kinda cool.
Thanks mate. More like this to come soon.
I owned it and its very nice lens. I might buy another one because it is so light and compact. the lens produces excellent images.
Couldn’t agree more. Thanks.
Please comment if you're planning to buy or already have this lens. Two words: "IT'S AMAZING"
Excellent
Thank you
Thanks for sharing, awesome pictures!😍 Do you a have a tip, what brings more details to the milky way photo? A single long exposure like 3-4 minutes or multiple shorter exposure's stacked together?
Hello Valentin, i prefer the later (stacked). I have a separate video about this using Ps and Lr. Thank you for your time watching this video
I Thought that was a white camera..
😂😢
Beautiful!
Thank you 🙏
You can use F2.8 until what focal length?
Great video! I also have this lens and love it for photo as it so compact and I like the colors I get. However, in video my copy of the lens exhibits focus breathing...Have you had the same issue with yours?
Thanks bro. I haven’t noticed any focus breathing from my copy, it’s very snappy and sticky like the 55 f/1.8. Maybe your distance from your subject? Maybe the subject’s color? All the best mate.
@@OneRiley Thanks! Maybe I should I try another copy. I don't notice the breathing except for video...otherwise I love the lens
@BackpackingVideos 2nd that bro, still a great piece of glass, i always carry this with me and the Samyang 135 mil
Per que no los dos?
I didn’t keep both as i got myself a 135mm.
@@OneRiley makes sense, I got 35 + 55 + 85 like this week, I ended up using 35mm on FF and 85mm on APSC do its like 127mm equivalent. I'll give it some more time, but might end up doing the same
From your setup, seems that you might need to part ways with the 55 mil soon, or you can still keep it, it’s a stellar lens. Time will tell.
@@OneRiley will give it few months, for events I'll likely skip 55mil, but maybe will use it in single lens portrait sessions, but could swing either way
Дякую автору за добре розкриту тему 🤝🏻 Хочу замінити батарею на d5200 і як я розумію, із варіантів лише підробки. А так як у нас зараз немає офіційного представника Nikon (я з України) то буду міркувати як вийти з ситуації що склалася. Але зараз завдяки цьому відео хоча б маю розуміння як відрізнити оригінал від підробки 🙂
You’re welcome bro
Thank you so much for this wonderful review!
Welcome bro
Setelah melihat makin yakin gw nasa bohong
This lens is a background melter and i love it!
It’s a bokeh beast, love it too.
Best Video on 18-300 mm lence, clear visualization of results no nonsense talking and lecturing. Great job
Glad you like it mate. Thanks
Great comparison. I'm now a proud owner of both lenses: The 28-75mm f/2.8 is equipped whenever I can. The 28mm-200mm is for filming motor sports. The previous 75mm upper limit has really proven to be too little as it made me miss many cool opportunities to get a shot.
Love your motorsports vids @pbkbls Patrick, these lens are truly amazing
Hello there I am using a7ii. I want to find a versatile lens for miscellaneous and travel photography. I'm very hesitant to change lenses because I might miss the moment. I'm debating between the 28-200mm and the 28-75mm gen1 Hope you can give me some advice Many thanks
Hello, if it’s mainly for outdoor, then the 28-200 will be the ideal choice because of the reach advantage. Just be aware that you either need to raise your ISO or lower your SS to compensate with variable aperture(s) when shooting indoors. I also use a prime 35mm f/2.8 for travel and just zoom in and out using my feet, really depends on what type of look or perspective that you’re after. There’s also that big 35-150 if you don’t mind the weight. =)
My wife’s favorite lens, and my only non sony GM, its a great lens
That's awesome to hear! It's always great to have a favorite lens that stands out.
Does AF-P 70-300mm works on Nikon D5300?
Hey @Kevin, yes it is, I used D5300 on this video.
@@OneRiley sir I thought the d5300 is only gonna work with AF-S?
This doesn't appear to work in PS 2024 unless I'm doing something wrong. I have 10 DNGs which are all the same in Lightroom Classic. After choosing panorama in PS at 4:01, and unchecking the "Blend Images Together" checkbox at 4:19, PS creates what looks like an actual panorama image where they are shown one below the other. They don't appear like yours do, where they take up the full canvas each.
That’s sad to hear bro, can you try restarting your Pc and do ot again please? Not sure of the new AI thing on that version that hinders you to process it like the way on this video.
Good video! I use both these lenses on my a7iii. The 28-200 is a great all around, outdoor lense. For all indoor, I use the G2 especially with the lense custom button set for eye auto focus: found this to be the sharpest lense for indoors event photography.
Can’t agree more, that G2 is really sharp, I also love its design compared to the G1. 28-200 is very sharp too, most superzoom lens doesn’t really get this sharp
згоден хороший обєктив
Very Good lens indeed
Not enough of a difference between the two in my opinion. It just makes sense to go with the ridiculously awesome focal range of 28-200 🙂 Plus, Sony sensors are very capable so the minor lowlight grain doesn’t bother me. Can easily be fixed in post.
You can’t go wrong with both @JulianRalphie, but yeah i ended up with the 28-200 😀
Is that Cape Reinga ? cheers from Warkworth :) Thanks for the video
Kia Ora mate, yup it’s Cape Reinga
@@OneRiley Kia Ora ! I am just watching this test and the sceneries looks suspiciously similar to ones in my phone and than Cape Reinga and i go wow! That must be from here and sure it is. My friend gave me her Nikon D5200 and as I had ages ago the D5100 and liked it for my big hands I am in a hunt for a nice telelens. This seems nice but quite pricy... I wonder if the sigma 18-300 or Tamron 18-270 would do the same job :) Cheers
Thanks for this. Its 1:37 and Im about to head out with this knowledge now =) Wish me luck fellow pps
All the best Stefan
Great test. I wonder how 70-300 for FX cameras would perform in this test. On DX camera it would be about 100-400m I guess
Didn’t had a chance to test those bro, you’re right, there’s going to be a x 1.5 crop factor
The best lens test on YT.
Thank you
How does it perform in terms of af ? I want to buy this lense for my A7C2 but am not sure because of its age if it can hold up.
Hey man, i feel that it’s still optimized for this newer FF cameras, the focus as still very sticky and fast on my a7iii, i also noticed this when I have the other Zeiss 55mm f/1.8 before. I think a7c2 and this Zeiss 35 f/2.8 will be a perfect duo due to their size.
What camera did you shoot with?
Hey bro it’s D5300 and D7200
what star tracker is that
Hey bro it’s Polarie by Vixen Optics
@@OneRiley Thanks!
If one had black and bias frames, how does one use it in Photoshop?
I haven’t tried that one yet bro, I’ll try it next time and will let you know
Looks like a fantastic lens :o I search a lens to replace my big 35-150 How is to shoot handheld at 200 mm outdoor ? You've to crank up the SS et and ISO right ?
Depends on how bright outside @Antonybec, but yeah sometimes have to crank up SS to compensate from my shaky hands. Are you really getting rid of that 35-150?
@@OneRiley I'm stopping my wedding activities, The 35-150is a great lens, but so heavy and big, I want something smaller =)
@@Antonybec I’ve been looking at that 35-150 before but seeing how big and heavy it is than my Samyang 135 1.8 AF, stops me from getting it.
@@OneRiley for professional work like wedding, portrait etc it's a perfect Lens. I also use it for Travel (venice, Island) very good lens too. I don't regret it, but something smaller is better 😁 i'm impress by the sharpness of this little Guy !
Yes this is very sharp for a superzoom lens, Tamron had the right formula on it. All the best Antony, and thanks for sharing your thoughts
great review
Thanks man
thank you for making this, zooming in and out really helped me understand the versatility of this lens
You’re most welcome mate. Did you get it?
@@OneRiley Yeah bought it with sony EV-E1, Lens is above average in my opinion, but its versatile so can't really complain much 😁
@hersh_yt good choice, all the best for you bro, very nice setup.
@@OneRiley all the best for you too sir 💝🙏🏻
Thanks for sharing, learnt more today than in the last 2 yrs cheers
Glad to help, thank you
I think we were at Cape Reinga around the same time :-) Thanks for the lens review. For $97 second hand it looks great.
That’s a very good value for that price. Kapai. I live in KTA and CapeR is just more than an hour away.
Genial! Consulta, para qie sirve el boton test?
Good flash but cant buy because the shoe is still plastic. Sony have to upgrade to metal as they damage to easily.
Great review, going to pick one up for my A7CII for an everyday setup! Thanks :)
Nice one, great choice. All the best Dylan
Excellent choice. Me too but with the A7CR.
Nice video! I bought the 28-200 3 or 4 years ago , but now only use it for all around because I recently got the Tamron 70-180 for indoor sports. I’m probably going to buy the 28-75 for all around and indoor .
Thanks for sharing! 28-75 is a good choice
Man, I love the thought of this lens, (tiny size 35mm), but at $598 usd for an 11 year old lens in 2024, the value at the price makes little sense. Comparing it to what I could get for the same money, (Sony, 40mm, f2.5, G), I’d get a newer, sharper lens, that has more controls, (clicky aperture ring, focus hold button, AF/MF switch, and the same tiny size), that is completely weather/dust sealed with a mounting gasket, and comes with a proper lens hood and cap that work independently of one another! I love the size but for me to move on it I’d have to have a bargain ~$200 to give myself a motivating reason to get it.
I feel you . . . they can be had for about $300 on the used market, kind of a nostalgia thing at this point.
@@wotldpeace I gottcha, Nostalgia, character, and feel are things that specs and measurables have a hard time quantifying! Reports say This lens (Zeiss in general) are on the contrasty side and returning a certain “look”. Pair that with the cutesey, teeny, tiny, size and well thats why we are still talking about it 11years later. Still, I am seeing a lot of risk with the Zeiss, 35mm, f2.8, T* making it hard to take a bite of the apple. I am 100% a buy it used person, but if going used one may get a product that is as old as 11 yrs old now, (pretty old for an electronic product). My mind is going to the Samyang, 35mm, f2.8 which came out to rival the Zeiss, 35mm, f2.8 in 2017. Used-Like New the Samyang product is $150USD, which is a fraction of the cost of a used 35mm, f2.8, Zeiss. It seems to have comparable performance. Its rumored to have its own character. And is a little smaller and lighter. Further, Samyang is said to still be pushing firmware updates to the 35mm, f2.8 lens to improve its auto focus speed. With all that I can’t see myself being too disappointed if it doesn’t work out. Conversely, I’m thinking I’d be really happy if it does. The Samyang, 35mm, f2.8 seems to be the screaming buy at the price.
@@Cthames123 Speaking of firmware updates.. Beware some batch of Zeiss 35mm lenses are buggy and you can not update firmware yourself; they are stuck at v01. Sony had offered a free service until 2017. So if you plan to buy a used one, you should check that the lens comes with at least v02 firmware or the serial number is not between 1812043 and 1851015.
I want to sell mine but hesitated. Try this on apsc and you will have a great small camera. able to do great stuff As i have all mostly used focal length. 20 Tamron 2.8, 24 GM, 35 2.8 Z, 55 1.8 Z, 90 2.8. I used 7R3 and now have 6100 and loving the form factor more. I can use the GM on the apsc with 36 mm focal length thus the 35 zeiss now became redundant. The 55 on apsc becomes 82.5 which makes 90 mm redundant but on apsc the 90 is like a 135 2.8 bokeh monster. I want another apsc for 3 body and 3 lens set up or even more bodies as the a6000 series are now super cheap. I am happy I invested on the glasses and sold mostly the expensive ones and got change plus some bodies.
@@pinikpikantv3555 First, you’ve got a lot of really nice lenses! I have the Sony, 24mm, f1.4, GM and the Sigma, 90mm, f2.8, DG DN also. I agree you can get to 35mm from your 24mm, GM, which could absolve the need for a separate 35mm if your talking about using it on one camera body, (it does for me!). But I agree, you can almost get to 90mm from your 55mm, but you can’t get to 135mm from your 55. A separate 35mm does make sense for the case you are pondering, (getting another body), where you can share the versatile lens across all of your bodies, and since you already have it maybe you keep it. For those who don’t have the 35mm, Sony lens to me the analogous Samyang 35mm, f2.8 lens seems like sooooo much more of a better buy.
The amount of videos of the typical narcissist tech reviewer I had to endure before KZread finally led me to this masterpiece... 🫠 Well done mate, very high information density, straight to the point and even included some test photos to download. Really couldn't ask for more! 🫶
@pcklbls thank you so much for your time watching this video, I highly appreciate your support. All the best bro 😀
Do you hear a grinding/ crinkling noise when moving the focus ring? On my copy the focus ring makes noise.
@damndeniz no, not at all. Very silent. Is yours a brand new one?
I have the a7iii and have been using my 28-200 indoors with the Godox TT350. Works great. For indoor sports I use the Tamron 70-180.
It’s very sharp for a super zoom lens @Robert compliment with a good flash.
