Have used the Canon 18-200. Very good range but the image quality was not really appealing. This Tammy seems much better, but that could be your handling and skills at work as much as anything to do with the lens itself :)

@@vaidehiarts I owned the Canon 28-300 L for years and loved it. This Tamron is 100mm shorter but 1/2 stop wider at 28mm, is smaller, lighter, and sharper. It should be extremely popular and Tamron should be commended for their FE offerings. The only alternative is Sonys 24-240, which is OK, but not great. For travel or for people looking for an all in one solution, these lenses are fantastic.

I'm looking forward to buy this. I just moved to full frame and since I own A6000 I have the APSC version of this Tamron (Tamron 18 - 200mm f3.5 0 6.3) and I was having a blast with it. Thanks for the video and the review btw!
@razone5947 3 жыл бұрын
It's funny because this lens was one of the most important reasons why I switched to Sony full frame from aps-c. No other system to my knowledge -- especially aps-c systems -- offer a lens with as versatile focal and aperture ranges. When I'm traveling with family and friends, I simply don't want to carry around multiple lenses and switch between them. It takes time away from enjoying the moment and adds bulk/weight so I just end up leaving my camera at home in favor of my phone. One of the glaring advantages proper camera systems still have over smart phones is quality zoom ranges though, so lenses like this are an important reason why someone would take their camera out with them on vacation.

Tamron and Sigma have been changing the rules, I got Tamron 18-300 for apsc (Sony A6400) and that lens is something out of this world sharp and colors pop. also,video stabilization is just miles ahead even of Sony's 18-135 and 18-105, IQ is much better. How can 3rd party lens beat native lenses in terms of image stabilization is just wild.

This lens has become the core of my light, affordable photography setup. Paired with a Tamron 20mm f/2.8 and a Sony 50mm f/1.8, I have found my ideal kit that doesn’t break the bank or the back. Yes, the cheap 50 has the slowest AF in the world and the 20 has severe barrel distortion (corrected in camera and now profiled in most software) but all 3 are surprisingly sharp and work so well together for a very attractive price and light weight. All are capable of fully resolving to at least 42mp. I have some bigger, heavier, more expensive, “better” lenses but they stay in the studio now or only come out for specific jobs. Under 2kg, including spare batteries and filters all in a stylish shoulder bag.

Hi Pav! Thanks for a great review. I love your channel and watch all your videos. I am considering this lens, and was wondering what you think. My only use will be family vlogs and travel videoed with the family. I like changing between selfie filming and zoomed in shots of building details etc. Currently I carry two cameras for this, but that is really a hassle. Could this lens be the solution for me? I use an A7c. 28mm is wide enough for me but I am a bit worried about not having OSS at 200mm.
@PavSZ 3 жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching. I really like this lens. At 200mm OSS wouldn't help much either - it is what it is and with that focal range, outstanding sharpness, really good af and very good price (if you shop around) it is one of the most versatile lenses that I have ever used. I think samples in my video say it all 😉
@TheMonsieurSalty 29 күн бұрын
Awesome review and great sample images! I really wish the tecnology someday will allow us to have this amazing focal length with a constant of F2.8. Now that the Tamron 35-150mm f2-2.8 is in the picture, I think it's not gonna be far off right? I shudder to think about the sheer size of the lens though.

Great video, Pav! Sounds like an excellent lens. I'm about to switch to Sony FF in the next couple of months and I wonder if I should rather grab this 28-200 together with the 17-28 to cover all my stuff in terms of landscape photography and get one or two primes for portraits instead of buying the full "holy trinity" (17-28, 28-75, 70-180). Any thoughts?
@PavSZ Жыл бұрын
It's a good lens but the trinity lenses are a touch better overall. I'm just about to sell my hardly used Sony a7III and Tamron 17-28
@sashinger5230 Жыл бұрын
@@PavSZ Yeah, I see. I did some extended research over the weekend and although it is quite tempting to get just one lens instead of two, I think I'll have to go with the trinity as long as I demand a decent level of overall quality und speed to that whole range since I mostly do landscape/nature photography. Would have loved to see something connecting like the 35-150 but not that huge and heavy, maybe with a 28-150 constant f2.8 or at least as an 2.8 - 4. Than it'd be a no-brainer in my case. Until then it's gonna be always that trade-off between IQ and portability. 🤷🏻♂

I have the GM 24 mm, but when we start travelling again I consider adding this lens and the new Sigma 65 mm f2. What do you think about such a travel trio?
@JohnDennery 2 жыл бұрын
That sounds like a solid kit although I think the 65 will be a bit tight for many indoor situations. I'm guessing you want that f2 for lower light scenarios indoors where a 65 is probably not as useful as a 35 or 50. But my all-time favorite focal length is 35 so I'm definitely biased here. If you love the 65mm look then this will definitely be a nice kit!

The dilemma borns when you consider the two lenses on a travel side and you know in advance that the variable aperture tending to 5.6 of the 28-200 will cause some problem in a lot of situation with poor light; on the other hand you have a bulky pro lens with f2 starting, that will gather more attention and will be a pain in packing and traveling all day long in any sort of environment. I own a sigma 24-70 Art that I love it but many time I find it too short. So I considered to add the tamron 70-180, but packing and weight would be a problem.
