Hi can someone help me? I own this tamron 27-70 G2 with a Canon R6 Mark ii. I use the Ef-R-Controll-Ring-Adapter. I noticed, when I turn my aperture from e.g. F10 back to F2.8 (AV- and TV-Mode) the Aperture goes only very slowly down - step by step to F2.8. What can i do??
I'm sorry for my English, but here is one feature I discovered with this lens. When you use it with Nikon DSLR camera, you can change aperture number even if you are in the Liveview video mode, not only before you switch LV on. Nikkor lenses don't support it. Even Camera manual says it's impossible.
Hey! I like a faster lens (f2.8) as I can get a blurrier background and it's MUCH better in low light. The Canon might be a bit sharper, but overall the Tamron is imho better overall. Hope this helps ;)
Duuuudeeee love this video! The harmony of the background music and your voice is simply great. For a minute and a half in the video, I figured I was tapping my foot on the rhythm of the music while your voice matched perfectly. Communication skills and video editing are in place. I almost never subscribe to channels, but two minutes in, I hit that “subscribe” button! Great work! Keep it up!
Hi, thanks for the review, can you pls record a video handhold and later switch on and off th IS to compare the behavior of the lens?? Did you compare this lens with Sigma 24-70 Art?
Hey! The quality of the Tamron and Sigma is pretty similar. However, Sigma's lens is only weather sealed at the mount, while Tamron is weather sealed all over.I like to shoot in rain and snow as the pictures become more spectacular. That's why I would recommend the Tamron.I'll see what I can do with the comparison with the IS on and off. Maybe a future video😃(On minute 3:00 you can see an example of a handheld shot with a Canon 50mm, no stabilizer)
your video convinced me to get a g2.. i was getting a pretty good deal and was planning on buying a refurbished nikkon 24-70 2.8 g ed for 1000$ for my d810 here in a local camera shop in India.. then while i was on the way to the shop i saw your video along the way and picked up a tamron g2 for 750$ instead without the bill..and the money which i saved.. bought a Magmod too with that leftover cash..
i rented the g1, its stabilization isn't enough for walking or simple sliding hand hold shots. would appreciate if u can do more in-depth video comparison test on g2's stabilization..
Hi Ben! Although the stabilization on the G2 is better than the G1 it's still pretty hard to get stable shots while walking. You might get usable shots if you film in eg 120fps, but only very short ones, as the lens is constantly trying to stabilize the scene. If you use Warp Stabilizer in Premiere Pro you can definitely save many of your shots. Btw it stabilizes very well still images, but struggles more with video. I will try to do a review regarding the G2's stabilization. However, I would look into getting a cheap gimbal, like a used Glidecam, to always assure your shots are as smooth as possible. Hope this helps! Have a nice one ;)
Just bought it some 2 weeks ago, and it is perfection! Especially since I'm using APS-C Nikon D7200 24MP camera in the studio conditions with 100ISO ofc. Ps. I would send you a sample shot, but I am not allowed to! :/ :) Pps. Keep up the good work, I am your 78th subscriber, and I can't wait for the moment you have 78000, so I can say I was one of the first ones! XD Cheers mate!
Luka Dragovic Hey Luka! Thank's for the nice comment! Great gear combination with your Nikon and Tamron. Yeah, frustrating when you can't show the world your work🤨😅Great to have you as my 78th follower and fingers crossed for 78000! Cheers😃
well i'm not worry about the lens being heavy but i want to buy the tamron g2 cause i'm not going to spend over a 1000 dollars on a camera lens. i really want to get the 18-35 from sigma and the 24mm 1.4 from sigma and the 70-200 from sigma and the 24-70 from tamron along with the 2 i already have i should be straight right
So I just bought the Nikkor 24-70 2.8 g (non vr) for $700, but now looking at this lens for the image stabilization for $800. Should I save the money and keep the nikkor or return for tamron? I do landscapes and nightscapes
I have it and I didn’t like when I use it at 24mm no sharp enough. One question ! How can I lock the focus ring on the lens? Every time I grab my camera or lens I kept moving the ring how you lock that thing ? 😂
Dan McDougall Hey Dan! I would go for the Tamron, because it's an f2.8. You will get a more cinematic look to your videos as the background is blurrier, and it is also way better in low light situations. With an f4 you would have to crank up the iso and then be careful with noise in your image. 😀
Gideon Heydemann I ended up getting this lens and the 24mm 1.4 because the Tamrons usability is so low with the rings being switched and backwards..Very awkward for handheld video. Went with the canon and waiting for their 2.8 version IS and gonna make do with my 24, 35,50 primes with lower app until it comes
Killer video !! I want to buy this lens specifically for video, but worried about the autofocus noise (as i shoot lot of wedding/christenings videos in churches and other quiet spots). Do you notice the autofocus clicking noise at all?
Hello Paul. Your video is how to say… pretty excellent. Maybe you can help me in this question... In order to capture videos what is the best choice to configure the VC for this lens with the tamron tap? I love this lens!! Thank you for your videos!!!
Hey Mguel. Sorry for answering so late. I’m afraid I can’t help you as I don’t have the tap. On the other side I don’t have felt a need for it neither, as the lens is operating just fine. However, I guess I should look into getting one, as firmware updates and configurations would be nice to have ;)
Thanks a lot for this review. All the informations provided are very useful and accurate... I am also using a Canon 1DX mark II to make videos and I consider to buy the Tamron 24-70 lens... that's why I watched your review. Thanks a lot man
hey bro ... is this 24-70mm G2 suppose to be slow to stay in focus leaning forward and backward in 120fps ... is there a setting on the 1dx m2 to customize the focus
Hey Josek! Yeah, you can customize the focus settings. If you put the AF method on the 1dx m2 to FlexiZone (no face tracking), you can adjust the AF speed and tracking sensitivity :)
It all depends on what you shoot. A 24-70mm is a great place to start. F2.8 will make your image more cinematic with blurry backgrounds. An f4 is ok, but not good in low light and image not that cinematic. Hope this helps ;)
Thanks for the question! Although I haven’t got a scientific answer, I must say the Tamron holds up just fine. But it also depends on your camera. The Tamron is definitely a great contender, and I still use it ;)
Hi Paul. I bought the Tamron 24-70 g2 two weeks ago. Disappointed in the focus sharpness at 24mm. I've been shooting flowers, leaves, rocks in streams at parks, downtown environments, cruise boats, all with textures. Subject matter within 2-3 feet is sharp but is soft beyond that. Shooting at f16 to avoid diffraction but have best dof, iso from 200-1250, shutter speed 160 and higher, shooting style landscape. At the suggestion of a pro I spent hours shooting with mirror lock up vs normally by eyepiece to see if it's a lens issue. The pics are the same (I didn't bring a tripod though). There's a CZcams video that says mirror lock up is a scam--there shouldn't be any difference. Do I send it in for calibration after owning it 2 weeks, or does this lens have severe limitations at 24mm fl, or is there something I can still do myself to correct this?
I use a canon 5dsr with Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8. but my camera turns black while recording for about 5seconds, and continue with the video recording. What do you think is the problem? Please I hope you can help. Thanks
Hey! It’s a camera bug. Try to connect it to your computer and update to the newest firmware. If that doesn’t work try to reset it completely. Hope this helps and good luck ;)
Great video btw, simple and clean! Subscribed! Now i have a question.. how wide is this lens on my BMPCC4K? With 0.71x mebatones? At 2:38 you are @ 24mm or wich one? Thanks!
Hey Ricardo! Thanks for the sub! I’m probably between 50-70mm in the shot you mention. Regarding your camera and adapter I need to investigate a bit before answering. I’ll try to get back to you ;)
@@PaulHeimlund Thanks! I need to have sure about the distance, because i looking for that lens to my bmpcc4k that have crop factor 1.9, and i need metabones adapter for use it in my mft camera. I need to know if Tamron 24-70mm at 24mm is more less wide coz i'm looking for a mid-wide with varial focal length. I'm also looking for Canon 17-55mm f2.8 or famous Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 but don't have IS :/ Thanks!
I bought the Sigma 18-35, but returned it as was not stabilized and I didn’t have a gimbal at the time. Also, I felt it was too wide and the zoom made little difference. So, I bought the Tamron 24-70 and a bit later the Rokinon 14mm as I needed a wide lens for a project. With the two lenses I feel that I’m covered for most projects. Might get a 70-200 this year if I can justify it ;)
Hi Paul. I am the owner of a Canon 6D Mark II. I would like to buy this Tamron. The reviews are all positive, but many people who own it have noticed front / back focus problem. What can you say me about it? Thanks
Hey! No, I haven’t had any issues regarding that. However, it suffers from some lens breathing, especially at 24mm, which is annoying when filming. Apart from that it is still my go to lens ;)
@@federicosassi8022 No problem! I tried the aps-c version, not the full frame one. Very similar to the Tamron in sharpness, but only had it for a week, so dunno how it would’ve performed after 3 years…
It should work fine, although I have read some Nikon users have to calibrate it. I have never calibrated my lens and it works fine, even after over 2 years using it. There are also ways to calibrate your lens manually yourself. Karl Taylor has a video on CZcams on how to do that :)
Just got mine today. I am a bit worried about the focus (and zoom) turning the other way. When I'm filming and switching lenses I have to remember to focus the in different directions. Anyone else find this an issue?
Hi Paul Heimlund, I noticed a pumping focus issue when using Facial detect DPAF with Canon 5d4. Have you had this problem with Facial detect AF? Thanks,
Hey again! Micro adjusting the lens didn’t help, the af is sharp. Haven’t found any easy fix, but will get make to you if I do. One advice was to get an extension tube, but dunno how reliable it is regarding breathing...
How is the lens performance of Tamaron f 2.8 G2 lens with Nikon Z6 2? As I am a travel and nature filmmaker will it be useful for me to use it as a one to go lens? Or else do I need to purchase any other lens to meet my genre?
@@NIBUSVISUALCREATIONS It’s pretty good for that stuff. You can get fairly up close to things at 24mm and get some nice landscape pictures at both 24 and 70mm. And Nikon states this lens is 100% compatible with your camera when using their FTZ adapter :)
I think Tamron lens was starting great with new design , new system and tech, especially g2 version, i have this lens, 24-70 g2 so great for my canon, better stabilizer, better images quality, sharper edge to edge than sigma 24-70 art. Sigma Art is great lens, but for this one, Tamron totally best!
Considering price and value I’d give it a solid 4! If you want better quality you need to spend much more, and for your use the Tamron is more than good enough :)
Thanks for the video! What about the focusing speed when you shoot videos, especially when you have to follow a moving subject and you will need the lens to keep your subject always focused.
Hey Daniel! Great question. I guess it comes down to the camera. I use the Canon 1D X mark ii, where I can adjust the focusing speed and the Tamron always does what I want. I’m sure you can adjust the speed in most cameras. I use my Tamron mostly for video and focusing is always spot on! It’s so reliable that my next lens will be a Tamron for sure ;)
@@PaulHeimlund when i saw dxmark between 24 70 f2.8 ii and the g2 tamron is the same score 26 .so you think i should going on tamron until the canon ??
Compared to your Canon the Tamron has some onion rings. However, as you already have a 85mm 1.8, adding the Tamron might be a good idea. I use it all the time, but if I need clean bokeh I use Canon 50mm 1.4 or 1.8 ;)

Hey Laura! Glad I could be of help!
Have a great Easter :)
Im currently looking into buying this lens to pair with my 5d mark iv .. im now sold on it .. great video
Reviews I have seen are saying it is better than the Nikon 24-70mm VR so I bought one. I haven't got out to try it out yet

All the time, mate. But after using it a while you get used to it ;)
Had to return it, the focus breathing is so bad, couldn't use it for video work. :(
Mine started breathing after about a year, especially at 24mm. Very disappointed:(
Thanks for sharing!
One question, it's autofocus is silent? can be it used with an on camera microphone and no focusing sound will be in the footage? thanks
Although the autofocus is silent, the camera mic will most likely pick it up :(
@@PaulHeimlund so you use manual focus mostly? Thanks
Hi Paul Heimlund, I noticed a pumping focus issue when using Facial detect DPAF with Canon 5d4. Have you had this problem with Facial detect AF? Thanks,
Hey! Yeah, it happens sometimes. I will try to micro adjust it and let you know if this method helps :)
Paul Heimlund I’d also be very curious to know if that helps :) Great content Paul, keep it up! Thanks for sharing
Hey again! Micro adjusting the lens didn’t help, the af is sharp. Haven’t found any easy fix, but will get make to you if I do. One advice was to get an extension tube, but dunno how reliable it is regarding breathing...
Wow very well done video.... Amazing job
Hey Chris! Thanks a lot! Really appreciate your feedback :)
Thank you sir, appreciated.
Does this work for Eos camera
Hey! Although it's a full frame lens, it also works with aps-c cameras. So, it should work with all (or most) Eos cameras.
Hope this helps :)
Hi is this lens good for Z6 2?
Hey! To use this Tamron with a Nikon mount you need an FTZ adapter for your Z6 ii, which is around $ 250...
How is the lens performance of Tamaron f 2.8 G2 lens with Nikon Z6 2? As I am a travel and nature filmmaker will it be useful for me to use it as a one to go lens? Or else do I need to purchase any other lens to meet my genre?
@@NIBUSVISUALCREATIONS It’s pretty good for that stuff. You can get fairly up close to things at 24mm and get some nice landscape pictures at both 24 and 70mm. And Nikon states this lens is 100% compatible with your camera when using their FTZ adapter :)
I think Tamron lens was starting great with new design , new system and tech, especially g2 version, i have this lens, 24-70 g2 so great for my canon, better stabilizer, better images quality, sharper edge to edge than sigma 24-70 art. Sigma Art is great lens, but for this one, Tamron totally best!
I totally agree, Binsar!😉
Gideon Heydemann Wow...So, Tamron all the way then!😃
Thank you!
How is the lens works in 70 mm focal length for indoor wedding shoot in f/2.8
Hey! It really depends on the lighting. I would carry a faster lens, like an f/1.8, as a backup in case it’s too dark.
@@PaulHeimlund thanks ... How much will you rate out of 5 the overall performance of the lens specially for wedding photography and portraits
Considering price and value I’d give it a solid 4! If you want better quality you need to spend much more, and for your use the Tamron is more than good enough :)
Thanks for the video! What about the focusing speed when you shoot videos, especially when you have to follow a moving subject and you will need the lens to keep your subject always focused.
Hey Daniel! Great question. I guess it comes down to the camera. I use the Canon 1D X mark ii, where I can adjust the focusing speed and the Tamron always does what I want. I’m sure you can adjust the speed in most cameras.
I use my Tamron mostly for video and focusing is always spot on! It’s so reliable that my next lens will be a Tamron for sure ;)
hi would there be any jitters or weird jumps when walking with the stabilizer on? thanks~
Hey! No weird jitters or jumps. It’s very organic. However, I’d still use a gimbal if you need very smooth shots ;)
@@PaulHeimlund Thanks ! :)
Great video! 10 for information and for entertainment as well :)
Thanks for the positive feedback! :)
Hello friend what you can tell me if i use the tamron g2 24 70 with my camera 6d ?
Hey! Yeah, it should work fine as the 6d is full frame. ;)
@@PaulHeimlund when i saw dxmark between 24 70 f2.8 ii and the g2 tamron is the same score 26 .so you think i should going on tamron until the canon ??
Does this work in eos 800d?
Do you have already the G1. Do you think an upgrade is worthwhile in terms of the vc?
Hey! Yeah, the G2 is like a new lens. Apart from the vc the lens is sharper and has a much smoother bokeh. Cheers!
Great vid. Thanks :D
Cheers! :)
I’m worried about onion bokeh. Is it very obvious? My Canon 85mm f1.8 USM produces smooth, well defined bokeh. No trace of onion ring.
Compared to your Canon the Tamron has some onion rings. However, as you already have a 85mm 1.8, adding the Tamron might be a good idea. I use it all the time, but if I need clean bokeh I use Canon 50mm 1.4 or 1.8 ;)
@@PaulHeimlund thanks!
So sad that this lens isn’t working with canon’s cinema camera’s.!
Cool Video 👍🏼
Hey! Thank you so much! :)
So entertaining 😂
Thanks, Franklin! Much obliged ☺️
