Sooooo... APS-C is Not Dead...? 😆
Oh it’s dead. Tamron just didn’t get the memo about the upcoming a7c
I hope not. I upgraded my a6000 just a little over a year ago to the a6400. And I never get to use it right now.
Yes, this lens will make my a6000 more useful !!! Thanks for your review
It is. The Tamron is just it's gravestone.
Just kidding. Hope for an a6600 with better evf and flippy screen plus SIII color science. That would be dope
Not YET
Thanks Jason! You’re my go to guy for anything Sony related. I appreciate all the work you put in!
I watched almost all the latest reviews of this lens and found yours is the best so far. You covered almost everything we want to know and even the tiny jitters of the background while using this lens to take video not to mention the comparison between this lens and the Sony equivalent. Very informative and full of fun. Respect!
Thanks Jeff! Means a lot! Always striving hard to show case as much aspect of the gear as possible while maintaining the fun energy!
@@JasonVongYou're smashing it every time Jason 👌👍😉
This paired with the Sony 70-350 will be a travellers dream. All that range in 2 lenses both with 67mm filters.
Great point, that’s killer!
Got my 17 70 today so have this pair
@@paulclarke4571 dem.. great for u
I have this exact set up and just added a Samyang 12mm for my a6400. Next up Sony 200-600 for wildlife and sports.
Loving the whole vibe of this video! It’s just so much fun to watch 😁
Love this new editing style! 😍
Such a beautiful layout!
Glad to see you back on CZcams!
Great review! As a fan of zoom lenses, the range on this lens is exceptional! Definitely could be your one lens for run and gun.
FINALLY!!!! A good range. good aperture of 2.8 PLUS VC-Stabilisation!!!
I've been looking forward to your review! So excited to get this lens for my 6100.
Poor Viv glad she is OK. And this is what I have been waiting on from the great Vong
This is great, being 2.8 it allows a crop frame camera to compete with full frame A7C +24-105 f/4 . A comparison would be interesting to see if A7C+24-105 at ISO 1600 compares to A6400+17-70 at ISO 800. I just got in December a Nikon Z5 +24-200 for travel. really happy with it (beautiful viewfinder). I have the Sony 16-55 f2.8, bit image stabilization, close focus and longer range make this an amazing lens. Travel, lifestyle assignments, portraits, fashion. Also this Tamron is better and more competitive than the Sony 16-70 f4. Also wider and more versatile than Sony A7x+ Tamron 28-200.
I have the sony and was about to regret it until your final comparison. Thanks for that. If I were buying now, it would be a hard decision (I do have a stabilized body a6500). That $500 difference, the VC and the 70mm long end are pretty compelling arguments. Tamron's got a winner. I'm glad that we have some good choices now. Great review!
Great review and a lot of fun!!! Props to Vivian! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Awesome video, your channel is full of incredibly helpful videos. Appreciate all the time you put into it!!
Hey Jason! Is this lens good for vlogging? & what about stabilizing?
I was looking for your review on this Lens. Cool effect of blue arrows! Thank you for creating this video Jason!
thanks for watching!
Hey Jason,
Thank you for the new video!
Definitely your best review! Covering all points into details and awesome editing and stuns 😅
thanks for watching!! :D
You guys are awesome! Loved the review. Thank you.
I recently picked up a 6100 (silver/black version which looks very nice) over the holidays to compliment my full frame Sony bodies. I wanted to have something small and compact that I can carry with me on less demanding tasks and trips. This is a workhorse lens that fills a gap in the aps-c lineup at a good price.
I’m using my full frame lenses interchangeably but OSS is missing on many of them and no IBIS on the 6100. This is a godsend for darker environments and now on my wishlist. Thanks for the review.
Great video content. Thank you for the honest and detailed review.
your editing skills are getting better!
Hey Jason ! Great video, one of the very few on CZcams on the topic. Thanks a lot for making it. I must confess that I couldn't get those close ups/macros on my Sony ZV-E10. It simply wouldn't focus till I moved it a few inches back.. How did you do it ? Have you done it for a video ? Thanks
Commented for the hard work Jason did for this video.
production values going up big time. congrats man =)
I just bought this lens for my A6400 and can't wait to start shooting video and close up photos! For the price this lens is a beast. I own 2 tamron lenses 1 for sony and 1 for canon and they are amazing for the price. In all honesty the quality is really good and so far no client of mine has had any complaints about their photos. Tamron is a great company with some great prices for the quality of both image and lens. I definitely recommend their products to beginners and pros.
I’ve been waiting for you to review this lens! Awesome review vid and I cannot wait to get it for my 6600! 😄
thanks for waiting and watching :D
Great review. Thank you for showing our options. Price range is definitely exciting tho.
I was on the fence about buying this lens but you made it such an obvious choice to buy it, thank you
Thank you for this! Will definitely get the Tamron lens now.
Happy to help!
I watched this today, Oct 19, and Sigma has dropped a competitor in the mix: The Sigma 18-50mm F2.8.
Looking forward to your review of the Sigma and possibly a three way comparison with the Tamron 17-70 and Sony 16-50.
Jason!!! Great great video mate. Loved it.
This is great. Should give the same performance as a 24-105 on a full frame (which is usually my choice compared to the 24-70 F2.8). I still would go with full frame... I like having both aperture and shutter speed wheels.
Dope video! Ur vids are really helping me with making a decision for a new camera/lens!
Great review! Appreciate all of the info!
jason, love your video. Can you please give me some advice, is it still worth to purchase Sony A7II, and spend the money on better lens, or A6600?
Got mine last Tuesday!
Perfect for me.
This video was unexpectedly super funny lol your delivery is very good and I learned a lot.
Great Review.
Really like that lense. What do you think about it versus the brand new sigma 18-50 ?
I'm hesitating between those two lenses for both video and photo.
Love the video man. What is the name of the stick you are vlogging with? Subbed!
Thanks dude. Great review of this lens. Lack of oss on ff is why I have stayed in apsc, and this lens is top of my list. Btw, what was the ultrawide lens you shot on? Worth it?
would u reccomnd this for the fx30? to shoot cars and interior or just an all around versatile lens ?
Great vid as always man!
Been waiting for this review when you mentioned it on your Sony 35mm 1.4 G Master video. This helps with my decision to buy this lens and sell my Sigma 16mm and 56mm lenses. Thank you!
Amazing video, really usefull dude! keep doing this works, your videos are really professional.
What if i get a 28-75 for mor use in A6400? Theres any important difference? sinsce that lens could works on a eventual future fullframe camera
I love your review so much
Quality review, as always! Thank you...
Super Video.Thank you for all the explanations.It helped a lot. But one question is left: Is there a Problem using the Lens on a gimbal?i saw in your video That you have it on a RS2. I have a sony a6400 and rsc2 with focusmotor. Can the gimbal handle the lens also wegen changing the focal length? Or do i have to balance the gimbal everytime i want to change the focal length?
Good review! I think it’s the perfect lens for APSC but I’m using my 17-28mm on a crop for the moment. My full frame stuff I have a ton more lenses to work with for wide shots.
Got the sony 16-55 2.8, size is just perfect for the a6500, image is really awesome in all range, didnt try tamron but i always search the most minimalism size to travel and the sony one its not as big as tamron. I just use these lens right now, didnt miss other range. If you have the a6500 or a6600 go for the sony one, you dont need ibis on the lens.
Thanks mate, great video. I was just in search for a comparison and I love your videos about the right settings for the Alphas as well.
This is especially great for someone new to this eco system (I was using a Canon EOS 600D with a Tamron 18-70 f2,8 and a Sigma 70-200 f2,8)
Unfortunately, it seems that the most of the E-Mount lenses are not providing this great arperture, therefore I'm very intersted in these two glasses
I love that road from Zion to Bryce, wish I had a nice camera on a gimbal to capture it when I was there.
This lens has a full frame equivalent of 25.5 - 105 reach because of the 1.5 apsc crop. Great video.
Dang, I want that 17-70 2.8 on my full frame
Same!
@@jeffrendered3564 why not 5.6? Lol bcs bokeh and low light maybe?
But yeah FF 2.8 would probably be huge so u would not want it either:)
17-70 f2.8 APS-C is 25.5-105 f4.2 on full frame
F2.8 is f2.8 in terms of exposure but on a full frame you'll get less nois and less Dof at F4 and one step higher ISO
YOOOO! I was just watching your GoPro 9 videos a few months back! It was incredibly helpful :D
*Brother* - is this lens applicable for full frame camera? Or which lens should buy in f.2.8 in tamron for full frame camera?
Best review of the Tamron 17-70mm f2.8 i’ve seen so far 😀 makes me not doubt my purchase (pre-order) of it.
enjoy it!
@@JasonVong will do. It ain’t coming til probably end of january of mid february! Hahah.
I got mine on 13. its awesome and feels really good in hand man :)
@@stefanhabbig320 great to hear!!!!! what camera do you use? I have the A6500. Mine is arriving on February 4.
edrixc i got an a6400, fits well! You will have fun and the handling will be better with ur slightly bigger grip :)
The like and the comment is for Vivian being such a trooper and tolerating your BS!
Time to get Vivian a helmet. 😐
My favorite lens is my Tamron 28-75/2.8 on my Nikon D80. Used it for portrait and food shoots.
I'm tempted to switch to Sony just for the 17-70/2.8. Just waiting for their next APS-C body. Hopefully in DSLR form rather than rangefinder.
If Tokina makes their 11-16/2.8 or 11-20/2.8 in E-mount, that would be awesome as well.
Excellent video Jason! I'm trying to decide between the Sony 18-105 and this lens, what are your thoughts?
Hi, very nice video, thank you. I would like to know if the digital zoom
works by combining this lens with the Sony alpha 6600 ? I use the
RMT-P1BT remote and play with the zoom bottom during my videos. Thank
you.
Hej Jason , best regards from Austria. I have one question: what would u say: is the tamron 17-70 f2.8 usable for Gimbals too? I own a sony 6400, the dji ronin sc and my main lense is the sony 18-105 f4. do u always have to re-balance the gimbal when changing the focal lenght? thanks in advance!!
Damn! A video upload from you makes me so happy. I don't even own any Sony camera. Keep it up!
haha thanks for stopping by!
I have a 6600 with the IBIS so I realize the VC in this lens is great but I bet that adds a lot of heft. It's a rather heavy lens compared to the sony 16-55. I need an all-in-one for backpacking and I'm strongly leaning towards this. Decisions decisions!
It's interesting to hear how several people have been tripped up with the focus ring and zoom ring between this Tamron and the Sony 16-55G lens when Sony's very own 70-350G lens has the Zoom ring on the outside and the focus ring on the inside like this Tamron.
I use the Sony 70-350G lens quite a bit and its Zoom and Focus rings are identical to this Tamron lens which is great news for me, because I get tripped up going from it to the Sony's 55-210 lens which seems to be similar to the 16-55G.
jason vong style lens reviews are back!!
already have 16-55 F2.8, and I still plan to buy this Tamron 17-70 F2.8
can you do a comparison between this and the king of aps-c lens the sony 18-105?
In your video you said your using the A6400 for your tests. Did you switch to a different camera when you used with the gimbal thru the sunroof of the car?? Great Video brother!
Jason, love your videos. Question: if I have a Sony body with IBIS, like the a6500-6700, would Tamron's Vibration Control add to it?
Really good video. You touched on a topic that I have been considering for a while. I have a small streaming business and want to add another camera. I currently have a Sont a6400 with a good selection of lenses. I have been thinking about getting another a6400 wit this lens (Tamron 17-70mm f2.8) or the Sony A7C with the Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8. I think comparing these two setups, with test footage, etc, would be a great video. How would both setups compare under low light conditions for video work? How much more stable is the A7C footage thanks its IBIS? I was leaning towards the A7C setup, but Im now leaning back towards to a6400 setup because of this (Tamron 17-70mm f2.8) lens with its image stabilisation. If you decide to do this video, please use real scenes for low light. I dont think that point both camera at an object in a poorly lit room is a good test and most real life tests have moving objects. Keep up the great work. Michael from Ireland
Hey Jason, do you know on spec if the VC on this lens will work in conjunction of the IBIS on camera bodies with IBIS (A6600, a6500)?
I love zoom and focus flipped ao i have more control over the oens when zooming in
i plan to get the A6600 whit this tamron 17/70mm and also an adapter for using my canon & sigma glass. tank's for you're work Jason.
I was about to upgrade my a6400 to the a7c and this lens walks in 😁🤣
Me too
I had no intentions of upgrading yet, so finding out about this lens pushed that eventual upgrade back even further lmao.
Deciding on a lens is so hard 😩 but these vids definitely help, so thank you! Just not fully decided for my a6000 quite yet.
Hello, which one did you buy? how did it go?
Thanks for the video. Just received my lens and tested it out. Takes great sharp pictures, but this lens is HUGE and HEAVY to use as an everyday lens?
Vivian got the like. Good content on the lens. Wondering if the pulsing effect on the background has gone away with the FX-30 and newer cameras.
Just remember that in a vintage lens line-up there was a Tamron 28-105 f/2.8 for full frames. Back then it wasnt good, but today we certainly do have the technology to make it happen....
torn between getting this or the sony 16-55 f2.8 for video! i have a sony a6400 and weebill s, i prefer how the 16-55 performs and the overall build quality, but im not sure if the gimbal will get me stable enough footage, what would you suggest?
Thanks Jason!
Hi Jason, can i use this on an a7s iii?
I actually using a tamron 17-28mm f2.8 currently and i use it for video reviewing and vlogging. Do you think should i pick this lens up? Or should i just get the tamron 28-75mm f2.8? Thanks!
great info
You always produce very beautiful and fluide videos. If I may ask, what ultra wide lens did u use from minute 9.13 to minute 9.23? Thank you.
Thank you Jason for your great review! I’ve a Sony a6500 and I'm a videomaker but, sometimes I made various shooting photos for the clients. I noticed a difference in term of sharp, Sony 16-55 is better but... as I understand it, there is no reason to buy the Sony 16-55 because the Tamron is definitely the best choise. (I’ve also a Sony 30mm 1.4 for portraits photos). I’d love to know what do you think about it. sorry for my english 😂 🇮🇹
Definitely my next lens purchase. Im waiting for for the a74 to come out to upgrade to full frame. So until then, this will really round out my arsenal for my a6600. Id really like to see the difference between the 24mm equivalent of the Sony vs the 25.5mm equiv of the Tamron
I only own two lenses a Sigma 16 and Sony 35, the thing is I struggle a lot when I have to change from one to another (especially in run and gun situations or using a gimbal) I'm so interested in the Tamron Lens but I have doubts about not using that much my other lenses now. I don't have much experience in this so, you have any advice?
Great content as always Jason!!
Thanks!!!
Been waiting on this one since I saw the lens announcement
Hi Jason, on full frame it's 25.5 to 105mm right? Can I use this lens on my full frame, say, for events as I a one lens set up? I mean I usually carry two lenses for an event, one wide angle for the location of the event and then telephoto for portraits and food. I am torn between this and the 28-200 f2.8. Thank you!!! :)
awesome review, esp on the autofocus part
I've moved on from APSC to FF, but if I'm still using an APSC, the Tammy is a no brainer. You won't notice the IQ difference from the Sony F2.8 unless you're doing it side by side. And everything is easily correctable in post. The value you get from the Tammy easily makes it the best lens for Sony APSC. The larger size will be an adjustment but I think it's adaptable as this could be the lens on your camera 90% of the time. I have good experience with the Tammy FF, so I'm confident this is another good one from Tammy.
Jason Vong, I am new to photography. I have been watching many of your videos and it has helped me decide to get a a6400. I am interested in this lens, Tamron 17-70 f2.8....Is this lens something that I can use indoors or will it be to dark of a photo? And lastly, I would like to use this lens for fast action shots like my dogs running as they do sports. Would this lens be good for this? Overall this lens seems like a great lens overall for everything, especially for a starter.
I have one question. Can it perform well at night particularly during a motion photography at night. Especially now with VC/OSS and with a Constant F2.8 on this lens. For I am also night photographer on aircrafts. Thanks!
hey I have this lens and a6600 but I am experiencing focus issues {soft focus, using f around 4-5] at the shorter focal lenghts and AFC,even AFS I was looking for an firmware updat but didnt find anything, also the lense doesnt have the usb port, how do you do this, can you help please?
This is a must add to my camera bag. Shooting with 6400 and the "shake control" or what ever is desperately needed. thanks for the video.
So true! I own a 6400 and even with a gimbal (weebill s) the jittering is noticeable. I have a Samyang 12mm with no oss.. I think this Zoom's Tamron will be a good choice
Hi Jason, Just ordered a Sony A7C camera and need to find out if I’m videoing indoors on a fixed boom arm (at arms distance away), which lens would be better to use (the Tamron 17-28mm lens, or the Tamron 17-70mm lens), that won’t make my face “fisheye” distorted (up close), and still get some of the background. I included a pic (in an email that sent to you) to show how close I would be. Let me know what you can please thank you.
I am currently having the a6100 with the SONY E16-55 G which both of them do not have image stabilization. Should I buy this lens or just simply switch to a6600 if I want to have some kind of stabilization that will allow me to shoot in lower shutter speed? (For photography in low light)
I have a DJI Ronin-SC gimbal and Sony a6400, do you think it can be balanced with this lens? It seems too big to make the camera front heavy, even the total weight is below the max load of the gimbal.
Thanks.
Bought this lens to pair with my 6400. Good review!
i have 6400 + tamron 17-70mm - Ronin SC can handle this set ???
Hi. From your experience, which one is better to use for portraits and landscape/city photography. Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 or tamron 17-70 f2.8? Thanks for sharing your knowledge
What is a good starter camera if you want to learn how to take good pictures of nature
