Has this not been here before? Liked the video already :D

Just ordered one of these after hiking around with the Tamron 28-75 f2.8 and 70-180 f2.8. Got some nice photos on that trip, but the weight and swapping lenses was a real pain.

I gave it a thumbs up because by far you two are my favorite as far as camera reviewers, you look like you still have a bit of fun and give lots of detail, I’m an amateur and I got my Mom a S1R, she likes that you put the settings sometimes so she can stumble her way through correct exposure. She also likes that you get out of the house or studio and show nature or things. Me too!

I think this lens should be compered to the tamron 28-75. The alternative here is to have two lens combo than three lens combo. A wide zoom, like 17-28 and the 28-200. Less lenses on your backpack, less weight, less cost.

Great review. In-depth info delivered in a lively way with humor supporting important data points. Leaning toward this lens to compliment our Rokinon primes on A7Sii (need mo' run-n-gun). Thanks for putting this together. 🙏

Love your reviews Chris - you’re a natural. Thanks again

I'd like to know how well it compares to the Nikkor 24-200 Z, that lens seems to be very sharp for a superzoom. Great test and lovely landscape over there!

I enjoy your sense of humor. Such goods!

I actually feel like this is being overlooked for professional use if you already have several fast primes. I’m considering replacing my 24-70 2.8 for this because of the sheer volume of keepers I could quickly get with decent light, and then switch to primes for specific uses and low light on the mid to long end. Has anyone else made a similar move and tried this out during paid gigs at weddings/events?

Like yours reviews, hope you'll get bigger audience soon! ;)

Great review. Thanks.

The oh so accurate grams to lbs. conversion never ceases to make me laugh.

Your very well spoken. Thank you.

I thought I’d said this video was amazing and you guys were brill before. 👌Groundhog Day.

4:31 What Chris doesn't know is that he probably actually did pack a fishing rod, but Jordan threw it away when Chris wasn't looking.

Love the 4k res on this video. Beautiful shots of the landscapes and water droplets.

Jordan, did you took advise from Camera Conspiracies? EM1 III for video.

Such a delight to watch this video. Thanks!

Olympus C4K 24P. Go Go Go!! Jordan didn't bring a monopod this time, eh?

really like the magnification ratio for this 0.19m (WIDE), 0.8m (TELE) 1:3.1 (WIDE), 1:3.8 (TELE)

Love the oly video, that water droplet just shows wth the stabilisation is doing .-. slowmo was a bit soft, but still lovely, should have used more of it.

Hi, would you recomend it for a a6400 as an upgrade for the kitlens? No ibis and no oss for photos only

wow these look amazing! I know this is a silly dumb question however I new to understanding this. What is that thing is put around the lens at the end? I see so many photographers have that thing on top of the lens. What is the purpose for those?

These videos are just so entertaining

What wouldve been interesting to add in your conclusion would be how it compares optically to the older sony 24-240mm. Specially because the latter does include OIS, negating most of the benefits of benefits of the wider aperture of the tamron. Some reviews says it blows the 24-240mm out of the water both in terms of sharpness as resolution. What does DPReview think?

Wow… I had to comment twice because of your description ability!

Interested in Tamron 20-40 f2.8 review

Lovely video, when do you expect Tamron to migrate their Mirrorless line to Canon R?

Maravilloso!!

In the market for a zoom lens, I'm rocking a 16-35 and a 55mm at the moment. Anyone recommend this?

How about traveling with this 28-200mm and the Tamron 17-28mm? Anyone have done both?

I need to watch this again anyway

Can this only be used on a Sony ?

Until what focal length does it remain at 2.8?

Your goated bro.

how would this do when traveling with an a7c and tamron 20mm?

Its always a trade-off. Wonder if the F2.8 covers the 28-70 portion of the 28-200 range? If so, I would sell my 28-70 and buy this bad boy. Does anyone know?

Why not review the Lumix S 35mm f/1.8

i like old chevy suburbans in the field..gotta have a good rest to take stable pics. Oh and its called cross dimensional analysis u know for those who like to convert..😁

Hello Chris, I purchased this lens based on the positive reviews on KZfaq, but unfortunately it doesn't focus sharply beyond 130 mm. I first thought it was hand shake and shutter speed issue, but then when I tried to focus manually with a Sony A7iii on a tripod, by rotating the focus ring with my model 10 feet away from me but I could not get a sharp focus on her eyes at any distance!!! It also did not focus sharply at 200 mm for a sunset scene!. Your feedback is appreciated.

When does it shift away from 2.8 ?

Haha I clicked on it and watched the first 20 seconds and said “This looks familiar” I’m sorry guys, I know how frustrating a technical glitch can be on KZfaq. Especially if it doesn’t get monetized, the notifications don’t go out and then it hurts your ranking in the algorithm and well, it becomes a video that doesn’t get watched or help you.

Deja Vu

Great review guys. One less lens i can uncheck from my list. Not the type of lens to maximize the capacity of the A7R4. Thanks

4:40 , alas you want to relocate to BC...

This lens will be a good reason for M43 users to switch to a FF system, without sacrificing much of the weight .. I will worry about the stabilization and image quality though as a Olympus 12-100mm user, especially for video. And ironically this video is shot on a M43 camera.

waiting for tamron to make a 24-105 f/2.8 like canon, but for Sony

Why is it my 28-200 lens are bad capturing

Deja vu

Why is this video reuploaded??

I'm amused by the measures you used for the weight comparison, the Tamron 28-200 being evaluated and the NIKKOR Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct . LOL. A $700 ish 576g Superzoom aimed at a compact traveler ILC market, against a $7,999.95, 2,000g Showcase, Specialized, Prime Lens. Why, it would be almost impossible to tell them apart if they were mounted on identical camera bodies! How about comparing the weights of the Tamron 28-200 (576G) to the Nikon 28-300 (800g), 10 year old Superzoom design, or any of a large number of Superzoom Lenses from Canon, Nikon, Sony, etc.? At least the Nikon 28-300 is a choice for many shooters if you want the most versatile lens possible on a single camera body for walkabout uses. If I'm using a single camera whether it is my D500, D850, or Z7, chances are I will have my Nikkor 28-300 lens mounted. On the D500 its a 42-450mm Superzoom.

Pro tip...Match your shutter speed to your focal length

A7r3 is 42.4 MP not 42.6 but its all good

I would say, this lens is a kit-quality superzoom travel lens. It is not for weddings or any other quality work. Sharpness is no that good, especially if you zoom over 40 mm. Here is my video, which was shot in Alaska using this lens, as well as some clips using Sony 20mm 1.8 lens. Some clips even shot using iPhone 12 Pro. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nNukjMleqMezeWw.html

Why reupload

Deja vu 😁😂🤣

Everyone: Re-Like the Video, please.

lmfaoo this was good

6:01 'So the Tamron is 2/3 stop brighter..' You are mixing up light transmission and aperture/dof. Use a tripod for consistency if that's a concern. Comparison against the Sony is justified, but please do that in a comprehensive manner instead of just dropping some loose arguments. It's a pity how thin dpreviews reviews are although I can appreciate the video and person in front of the camera. But I am into photo and this is probably the last video I watch from dp. A pity.

Hasn’t been good for dog photography

Waiting for a 20-150 lens. 28 is shit, 200 you do not need.
