- Today we are taking a look at how the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 performs in a variety of circumstances to see if the now $880 price tag is worth it. Do you think it does well for the relatively low price?

Can you do a video about this lens on an APSC, just wondering how it will turn out.
Thanks
I second that!
Great video bro awesome to see you grow
We have a chicken or a rooster... my bad 😂
Awesome video! I need a camera like that! Your dog looks like it’s running full speed and yet the pictures are crystal clear!! Great work!
My first lens was a Tamron, I have good faith in them
Good stuff
Thanks man!
I have this lens and I totally agree with you it's a love not really hate but dislike relationship but I kept it lol.
Good video.
can't wait for the new 17-28 2.8
Definitely pre-ordering that one!
@@ChristopherBurress i don't know how do it in Italy...i just put my email into the B&H page for the notificationas available...but...
I don't know when it will be available either. We will see.
Interesting to see the softness around bright parts. I've had this lens since it came out and I don't believe I've ever seen anything like this in my photos and it's my most used lens. I'm using it on a Sony A9 so it's not the high megapixel sensor like the A7r3. I do have an A7r3 but I haven't used this lens with that camera yet. My lens is insanely sharp and has great contrast.
I would be interested to see if there is anything noticeable when you put it on your a7r3 and shoot some similarly bright stuff.
@@ChristopherBurress I'll see if I'm able to shoot some test shots and show you!
Nice
Thanks for watching!
I've seen quite a few reviews of this lens, but this is the first time I've heard about this sharpness issue on the long end. Could you be more specific on when the problem starts? As in which apertures, at >65mm or >70mm and at which distances for the target? Also, did you focus manually for the sharpness tests? Because otherwise the AF might be a factor in this. IBIS could be too if you're shooting those handheld.
Unrelated: Some bigger titles with the exposure info when showing images in Lightroom would be great. Watching on my phone it's quite difficult to see the info on your display, so having to rely on you saying them makes in a little confusing.
Overall though, great review! I bet your channel will grow if you keep at it ✌
How's sharpness compare to Sigma 18-35 f1.8?
Lol you beat me to me next video ;D you will have to wait and see!
I can get the Sony G mount 16-35 used for $1200. Would u still take the Tamron considering its only $300 difference vs Used Gmaster.
Diminish12 I just got a used perfect condition g master 24-70 2.8 for 1500
What camera you are using for this video? And what picture profile? It looks extra crispy today.
This was the a7iii, no picture profile, and 1080p. I got my lighting and exposure right which helps tremendously.
@@ChristopherBurress Why 1080p if I may ask? I know size files can be an issue but I've heard that 1080p in sony is a little soft. Your video looks amazing though
It is a smidge soft, especially when i'm used to shooting in 4k. It's kind of experimental, I'm trying to focus more on making better video instead of making high resolution ones lol. So this is just to help cut down on some post production headaches which gives me more time to focus on other things.
@@ChristopherBurress I saw comments online regarding this, and did some tests last summer, comparing A7III 1080p vs 4K downscaled in premiere and an upload to youtube at 4K but viewing at 1080p. The latter was the sharpest and shooting 1080p in camera is WAY softer. Like way softer than should be expected. There's similar tests by other people on CZcams as well, check 'em out.
Since most mid range computers tend to struggle to play back 4K in Premiere with some effects or Lumetri on other layers, I suggest you make 720p proxies inside Premiere if you are having issues. Makes editing so much smoother. If you´re not familiar on how to do it:
1. Select all the clips inside premiere in that media bin
2. Right click -> proxies -> create proxies
3. Make your proxy settings, make sure to put them in the correct folder inside raw footage
4. Click OK and let media encoder do it's thing. (yeah and install media encoder if you haven't)
Might take a while depending on how good your GPU is, so do something else while they render.
The only reason that I don't like doing this is that you sit down to start editing and then have to wait 20-30 min to create proxies. My videos aren't overly long or complex so all the time I would save with smoother editing is wasted by the conversion and I'm at a net-zero savings. Also it's core count/clock speed that helps that encoding process.
Can you do a videography focused video? I'm considering getting this lens. Thanks ✌️
What kind of questions would you want answered in such a video?
Christopher Burress what’s the autofocus speed in normal and responsive, what does distortion look like at 28mm, what does bokeh look like, low light test, also it would see how it looks on the a7iii and a6500. Thanks
I have a couple more videos in mind for this lens I'll see what I can do to make a video-centric one as well!
Christopher Burress you are the man!
Are the images shot on the a7iii or a7rii?
Most were on the a7r2, the sample tests at the end were the a7iii
@@ChristopherBurress thanks : )
They say the camera adds 10lbs., but you can't tell because I'm already a huge land beast.
Lol don't be so hard on yourself.
Is it possible you got a dud or is the haze you mentioned a known issue?
I guess it's possible to get a dud. But more often than not it's a non issue in photos. None of the snow pics with my dog that day had any problems. It seems much less exaggerated on the A7iii
Nice video what is the equivalent from Sony LOL
3x the price, that's what it is lol
@@ChristopherBurress LOL
Sorry man, I don't know if your are incidentally causing it, or you have an issue with the lens, but every copy I have seen, including my own, are tack sharp. Surpassing the GM in every way
I used the GM on the a7r2 and it was one of the sharpest lenses I have ever seen. I don't know how it could be beaten by this one. But maybe I do have a bad copy.

A poor copy if you want it sharp wide-open at the long end.
that background is trippy, the yellow and keeps distracting me
What do you mean?
I think I see a bright yellow light with a blueish wall
360p? Would you please upload it again? I'd like to watch this video in high resolution. Thanks.
It'll clear up when CZcams finishes processing it.
It's in 1080p now. Give it another go.
@@ChristopherBurress Yup, watching it again in 1080p. A great video as usual.
Thanks for watching!
360p club

If you don't dab do you even care?
@@ChristopherBurress 🙏
I dont know why. But your video has terrible video quality when played on my tv via chromecast. I've seen several other videos on a list now. But yours is the only one. Wait a minute. The photos from your computerscreen is alright. But the rest of the video is kinda pixly
Give it a minute for CZcams to process. It should be in 4k before too long.
It's in 1080p now. Give it another go.
Yes. Now we're talking 😁👌 I will view it again now
Just annoyed at 28mm with much distortion
