This is a REVIEW of the Tamron 28-75 2.8 G2 for Sony E Mount Cameras. This is a second-generation lens from Tamron that they made some tweaks to. The main selling point of this lens is it's size, weight and f2.8 aprature. Is it the fastest focusing lens in the world, no, but it certainly gets the job done at 2.8 for a heck of a lot less than Sony's Native

Some time around 7-8 months earlier I jump-shifted to Sony and Tamron, got the 28-75 and 70-180 f/2.8, later I bought the 17-28 f/2.8 and have to say I'm satisfied with the results. I haven't tried a GM lens before, so can't compare with the AF speed. at this point I wouldn't change to the G2 or even the 35-150 most probably even though I like the concept of f/2 35mm is really promising but as a climbing photographer I do need that extra reach (sometimes 180 seems not enough, so maybe later I will get something like a 150-600 or 200-600 for sports and wildlife)..

@napster9ch 2 жыл бұрын

I had the 28-75 and the 17-28 from Tamron as well and switched both for the GM ones from Sony. In point of sharpness, both Tamron and GM were on par. The AF from the GM lenses work a little bit faster but definitely not a game changer. And then there is the weight, the GM lenses are so heavy, especially if go on a long hike. But the softness of the bokeh and the flexibility of the zoom ranges (24 mm instead of 28 mm on the wider side and 35 mm instead of 28 mm from the wideangle zoom) are the reasons I switched to the GM lenses.

@neilcameron434 2 жыл бұрын

Good review. I think this has faster focusing and better corner sharpness than the sigma 28-70mm from more forensic comparisons I have seen. But in the real world most aren't going to notice, sigma has the edge on bokeh from what I have seen.

I ordered the Sony A7IV for my Xmas gift and while waiting for it to come, I did a lot of research for the new lens and I decided to go with Tamron 28-75 G2 primary because I shoot indoor a lot and also because of its light weight. I will save money towards Tamron 70-180mmF2.8 in future.

Great trio but after travelling with them I found that I was constantly changing between the 17-28 and the 28-75 because I needed a little wider view so i sold the 28-75 and got the sigma 24-70. It is a heavy lens but the quality is great and so far I am happy with it.

Hey Jared I shoot with an A7III and the Tamron 28-75 original. Do you think this would be a worthy upgrade or would it not make any substantial difference?

@tomirwinphoto 2 жыл бұрын

Probably not. I picked up the original for $800 when introduced in early 2018, sold it a few months ago for $725 when I heard the G2 was on its way. But the G2 wasn't available so I picked up the Sigma 28-70 then sold it after picking up the G2. Technically the G2 is supposed to be sharper, especially in the corners, and quicker and I suppose it is but the difference among all three 28-70/75 2.8 lenses are at best small. If you want an improvement consider fast primes, then you'll see a difference.
