Hello mate isn’t the A7C a small full frame body and the Tamron 17-70 an APS-C lens? Did you set your camera on crop mode? Would be interesting to know because the Portraits you took at 70mm would then more be like taking it with a 105mm lens on full frame and so on. Thanks a lot 😎

The newer f/2.8 zooms are very good. Honestly f/2.8 is probably going to give you all the bokeh you need at anything above 40mm focal length. I used to have a beautiful Nikkor 85 1.4 and honestly it was an issue, shooting at 1.4 the DOF is so shallow that the eyes are in focus but the tip of the nose and the ears getting soft! Stop that thing to f2.8 and you had all the bokeh you could handle. So the quality of the zoom becomes the reason why they have a bad rap, as well as that most zooms people have experience with are kit cheapos, or in the old days even expensive ones were f/4 or slower (looking at you Zeiss!) With a Sigma Art or a Sony G and some Tamrons like this, the glass is very good so that's not an issue. May be in the minority but I do like the effect of very wide angle portraits sometimes, and there is where you need a prime that goes wider than 2.8 for bokeh.

You only sacrifice resolution, 12MP instead of 24MP. I'd say the images shown are sufficiently sharp even at 12MP. Keep in mind most high end APS-C lenses top out at a resolution of ~16MP (though good software like DxO's DeepPRIME will probably be able to extract more resolution with a 24MP image).

This 17-70 you are using is an APS-C lens? Right. If so, despite the loss of pixels, your photos of your model are nice and sharp. Also, your model should be happy with your shots as she looks alive.

Looking for a camera and lens to purchase for all around and found this video. Super helpful tips, I was just looking for a review on the Tamron 17-70mm. I am trying to decide between that and the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8. I don't own a camera, so I am not sure if I'll miss the extra 20mm from 50 on the sigma to 70mm on the Tamron. Do you think it is worth it the extra price? My main goal is to take photos of the family and kids when we go out on trips. Of course, some landscape too, to get the nice views of vacation places.

Hi, I’m planning to buy this lens ( 17-70 2.8 tamron ) specifically for wedding photography, covering both the ceremony and reception. My camera body is the Sony a6400. Previously, I used the Sony 18-105mm f/4 lens, but I found it lacking in sharpness. Could you please recommend a suitable lens that would provide better image quality for these types of events? Thank you!

So is there an advantage to using this lens on a full frame camera such as the a7C in crop mode against say an a6400 APS-C that this lens is designed for??? A few people have asked this very question in the comments. An answer would be great. Thanks, Peter.

@christopherjc54 2 жыл бұрын

You will capture more light per pixel, but will have fewer pixels. So you'll get a 12 MP picture on an a7C instead of 24MP on an a6400. So to answer the question, MAYBE. The only real benefit will be that stray photons will be averaged on bigger pixels... but good software might be able to remove those in post on smaller pixels while also using the extra resolution to increase sharpness. I think it really comes down to glass quality for the resolution you want, whether or not you wish to fully utilize the full-frame sensor's larger size, price, and lens size/weight considerations. Hope that helps.

It doesnt technically increases his focal length. it only crops the picture to get the sense of a more zoomed in and the bokeh is technically the same as you would get on a FF lens

@onlyonecannoli3952 2 жыл бұрын

Sorry, but unless you've manged to change the laws of physics, that's not correct. A focal length remains the same regardless of the sensor size. If you have a crop sensor camera and a full-frame camera and you take a picture from the same distance using the same lens and then crop the full-frame picture to match the framing of the crop sensor, you will end up with the same picture. On the other hand, if you take those same two cameras and use different focal lengths in order to approximate the same field of view, you will end up with two different images, that have a different depth of field as well as background compression (e.g. using a 50mm lens on the full-frame and a 30-35mm on the crop sensor). Because the full-frame is using a longer focal range, it will render a thinner depth of field.

@djmikky2 2 жыл бұрын

Doing a review of a lens for an APSC with an FF camera is pretty stupid isn't it? Different bokeh, different focus, etc.

@christopherjc54 2 жыл бұрын

Not really. The bokeh is identical because the light behaves the same as on an APS-C body, only difference being that the FF camera is in crop mode. Focus points will be more limited due to the crop, but all of Sony's high end FF cameras high an absurd amount of focus points, so I doubt that'll be a practical issue (one might even benefit from focus points now at the extreme edge of the frame). As far as pixel size goes, the total surface area is the same in crop mode as it is on an APS-C camera, so that's not an issue. The resolution does drop from 24MP to 12MP which doesn't fully utilize the lens' resolution, but high end APS-C lenses typically max out around ~16MP, so not much is lost there. What is lost is the ability to do AI upscaling with software like DxO's DeepPRIME which benefits from the 24MP even if the lens doesn't resolve that much resolution. Also, the price, size, and weight considerations are important to many.
