Tamron 85mm is a solid, well-made lense. I agree.VC is very powerful, and bokeh is also beautiful.I agree the slight underexposure of this lense, and exposure is easily contolled by many programs.This lense has very good cost effectiveness.
Very nice review!!! Did u test canon and tamron in low light focus?
Dude.. I love your reviews.. great work.
Thanks so much, I appreciate that! :)
Put on the Tamron 85 then go to menu to , the underexposed issue may be fixed.
Thanks for the input! I thought it was strange and didn't happen with other Tamron lenses :)
I always like you reviews...God job as always.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it :)
I am saving money for the Tamron 85. Thank you so much 💕☺️ for amazing review. Sincerely Claire. I will let you soon at I purchase it..
Thanks for watching! I think it will be well worth the money, an awesome lens and focal length :)
I'm waiting for this lens to arrive, I own Tamron 45mm for several years and it's amazingly sharp at 1.8. My Canon 24-70 2.8 L lens also has this issue with underexposing on 5D mk2 body.
Great video, Scott. You are seriously one of the best no-nonsense reviewers...and you're making me want to buy this lens! LOL
3:16 sells this lens for me. Wow.
It's a small but often overlooked feature! :-D
Hi. Can it do macro? I'm trying to replace my Tamron M100 with it. Thanks!
It has a max magnification of 0.139x so it's not anything that could be considered macro unfortunately... the Tamron macro lens is a great lens though, so unless you really need a little bit more light, or a slightly smaller lens, the 100mm will still do a great job and not only for macro :)
Canon 85 1.2ii is my favourite lens👍
Hi brother, I bought canon 85mm 1.2l ii and when I change aperture the blades inside lens make noise . Should I exchange my copy or is it normal ?
+107789010213668413883 I've never noticed that on mine, you might want to have it looked at or at least compare it to another in a store.
Scott Dumas, thank so much . I'm still under return policy . I will exchange my copy .
I had this lens for a while and ended up selling it. I got some great images from it but there was something missing. I'm a huge Zeiss fan and have very few Canon lenses anymore. This lens may be a better all-rounder then the canon 85 1.8 or 1.2, but I'll wait for the canon 1.4 to pick up another 85. I love the Zeiss 85 but at this focal length I start to appreciate IS..
I had a Zeiss 135 when I was shooting Nikon and absolutely loved it... I'd love to go just all in with Zeiss but it's not practical for most of the situations I find myself in unfortunately. I think a lot of people have high hopes for the Canon 85 1.4L, really hope it doesn't disappoint. IS was surprisingly nice in an 85 like you said, never really thought about it but now it's hard to go back. Thanks for watching and commenting, it's always appreciated! :)
Hi there! I want to purchase this Tamron 85 lens but not sure I could use it in my Nikon D500 DX body?? Please let me know...Thank you for really good video...
Hi! You should be able to still use it but of course it will have the 1.5x DX crop factor. Still a great lens! :) Hope you love it if you get it. Thanks for watching!
@@ScottDumas Thanks so much for your answered. I am saving money to get this Len☺️
@@clairesophia3569 It's my pleasure! 85mm is one of my favorite focal lengths on both full frame and crop sensors, so I think you'll have a lot of fun with it :)
@@ScottDumas Thanks so much Scott...☺️ Have you review Sigma 105mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens Yet??? If yes I want to watch it..
Thanks for this video Scott (;
Absolutely my pleasure :) Thanks for watching!
Compare samyang xp85mm vs Otus 85mm!
I would absolutely love to! I'll definitely try :)
You are correct in finding the tamron shots underexposed, even i noticed that, though we may compensate the exposure by 2/3rd or a full Stop in Aperture Priority, and it's not an issue in Manual mode. The VC comes in handy, for videos or lowlight stills. Only the Canon 85/1.4 IS L which is in the pipeline, can now beat the Tamron in being the Fastest + Stabilised 85mm lens. Couple of days back, I compared my shots from 85VC to 85L & 135L, and the colors from tamron looked pale, bland, dull, muted to my eye. I liked the color-science & saturation from Canon L Glass more. However others may find Tamron colors more pleasing, which boils down to personal preference.
btw, your daughter is cute.
Warm Regards, Thanks.
Thanks as always for watching and commenting! I agree the L glass has some gorgeous color rendition, in the case of the 85 though it's hard to justify the price because of that unless you have the money to spare. I could never get rid of mine though, it's my go to lens most of the time. The 135 is still an amazing value and hopefully the 85 1.4L won't be too overpriced when it comes out (not too hopeful on that though, haha).
And thank you so much for the compliment as well :)
Have a great weekend!
The tamron is actually the stronger lens in many comparisons when put against the canon. The Canon may have some advantages as bokeh rendering and (possibly) colors might be richer, but the tamron definitely has good enough bokeh and lovely colors with image stabilization for less than half the price... It's also sharper in the center and much sharper once you get off the center.
Hi Scott. Is it lens work with canon r6?
Hi! It can with the adapter :)
@@ScottDumas ok but what about VC? Is it crashing with IBIS?
I'll wait for the new Canon 85mm 1.4 that may be announced sometime in Aug/Sept
As a lover of 85mm lenses, I'm definitely excited for that as well. What I'm a little concerned about is the price and how much it will be worth it over something like this. Hope they announce it soon! :)
Scott Dumas Yeah, I imagine the new 85 will be pretty close to the 85 1.2 price. True, it will "only" be 1.4, but they are adding IS and probably weather sealing = more $$
Yeah, honestly if it's close to the price of the 1.2 I think both will sell well enough. The Tamron is still a great 3rd party option but if Canon has those 2 options in their lineup at comparable prices a lot of people will be satisfied.
I subscribed. I like your content. I did buy the Tamron lens for my EOSR. I can't afford the RF85 1.2 lol. I"ll have it next week. I keep telling myself this lens will be good becuse I'm used to the other RF glass I have. (24-70 and 70-200). But at almost 3,000 for the RF. I don't think so right now.
Hey, thank so much! I think you'll enjoy it for sure. Most lenses on the EOS-R tend to do really well, and having VC on the 85mm is awesome. I now have the 85 1.4 IS from Canon and the stabilization is great. I often use it for video too :) The RF glass is crazy good but crazy expensive haha. I have only bought the 35mm so far but don't use it much actually. Anyway, thanks for watching and subscribing! :)
Do you intend to buy the new Canon 85mm f1.4 is?
+115605286271463290577 I probably won't buy it, I love my 1.2... but I would love to test it out so hopefully I can get my hands on it.
Scott Dumas yeah 85 f1.2 vs 85 f1.4is
Scott Dumas Where do you live in Japan?
+115605286271463290577 I live in Kochi :) Do you know it?
Scott Dumas Unfortunately I do not know, I just see on the Google map, it's not too far from where I live, it seems to me to be a cool place.
What about comparing it to the sigma art 85mm?!!
+106826011579836838893 I'd love to but haven't been able to get my hands on the Sigma yet, sorry!
I know this is a year late, but the Sigma 85mm is unmatched. I've experienced both and the clarity from sigma a tiny bit better
Saw this lens on sale for 347 euro. I thought it was wrongly priced, double checked, got excited and then calmly called the salesperson over to take it out of the showcase. These big electrobic chains have no idea what they are selling, only how long it's been sitting and taking up storespace. Great for us.
Lucky find! It's a great lens! :-D
Third party lens don’t get the respect they deserve. Which works out great for people that do their research. Great find.
@@SamA-kl6pi Had to turn off peripheral Illumination correction on the EOS R, that solved the gray rings I had on my screen and pics. Weird cause the camera actually recognizes the lens correctly. 3rd party lens troubles
@@Ravencroft81 Yeah that happened with the 5D IV when it first came out too I think. It was fixed after a while so I'm sure it will be with the R as well. I actually haven't tested any Tamron lenses on the R yet, I'll have to give them a ring again :-P
@@ScottDumas I see what you did there. 😂
I think tamron in the colors dominated by blue and green colors, and red crushed in comparison with canon 1.2
