ABDTalk Sounds like your in love. Gratz!

@@puretoronto I'm a male 😐

And how did it turn out? Some people say they need a 24 mm for VLOGing.

Glad I could help out! What are you shooting on?

@@eduardoarias_photo An A7ii and I'm looking for a lightweight lens for traveling. I think the 28mm f2 is the answer.

Yes I did. Except for the shots where the lens is on camera.

@@eduardoarias_photo Cool, thanks.

No problem, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

yes, I shot this video with the 28mm lens in my room which is a small space as well

@@eduardoarias_photo Cool thanks! if you had a higher budget would you recommend any other options out there for shooting youtube videos like this one in a small space with nice boke?

@@ryanlindner8665 perhaps the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8, but that one would also require you get an adapter for it to work on a Sony camera.

55mm 1.8 you mean , 50mm sux

@@edwinjansen6729 i only have 50mm . Coz the price more cheap .but great quality . Minus Autofocus very slow . LoL

Yeah I believe the Tamron 28-75 I have already came with the latest firmware update. It's version 2. But the AF speed on the Tamron is not bad at all, I just definitely notice a small difference with the Sony 28mm and in my opinion I think any native lens is going to perform better than 3rd party lenses. That's the case with the Tamron. It's not terrible in any sense, I just simply can see a difference between the two.

They came out with version 3 on January 29th 2019, three days after this video was posted. You should test at a camera shop that has a demo with version 3 firmware. Sony is the second largest share holder of Tamron and I believe shares their auto focus code with them now. I think Tamron is the only third party lens company that is in this position.

@@jackbisson9226 I have since purchased the lens and love it!

For me it was the other way around. I got this lens because I wanted a 24mm but did not want to spend a lot more for a 24-70.

Occasionally I need to take group photos, I won’t go anything more than 28mm, I use a 50 for street and stuff and give up waiting on a good portable 35 1.8

Just so you know, they have a 35mm F1.8 now. It's nice so far.

I would say that yes, I have noticed that it is a bit faster and smoother than the Tamron. But before you spend money on another lens check your auto focus settings and change them around on your camera to see if that helps. For example on my A7iii in settings on page 6/14 the AF Track Sensitivity I have as 5 (Responsive).

@@eduardoarias_photo I have changed the settings on camera, the AF speed when in fast, jumps , when in medium was really slow. Only with tamron lens, so I decide to return the lens. Thank you for your help

How is your experience with that? I am also considering to buy a A7III and use my Canon 35 1.4Lii because there is not a good option in Sony for that focal view. How fast is the AF? And sharpness?

@@davidpaima2315 For me work perfect, at low light sometimes take two or three seconds more to focus. And is Sharp.

@@specialized41 2 - 3 seconds is a LOT.

@@kimhansen6384 sometimes, no always. Most of the time work perfect, maybe Sigma mc.11 need firmware update. My Sigma 35mm is Canon mount, in E-mount is other story, work perfect.

Kheng Ding I haven’t used a 35mm but if you are using it on a A7iii or other camera body that allows you to crop in then you would theoretically be able to use the 28mm as a 35mm as well.

I don't know. I haven't used the Sony 50mm f1.8 yet.

I don’t think so. Not for real estate. Simply because for real estate you need a wide lens to be able to show off the entire space of a room or yard etc. and with this lens you wouldn’t be getting enough in the frame to show off a space properly.

@@eduardoarias_photo I see, but I assume this combo would work well with wedding films?

That definitely looks a like a nice lens and cheaper too lol but I have had my eyes on the Samyang 24mm f1.8 for a while which is also cheap and can stop down to f1.8

@@eduardoarias_photo Nice - I'm actually looking for a smaller 28mm (maybe F2.8) but such a lens does not exist unfortunately! It seems like 28mm has gone a bit out of fashion, and now there's mainly 24mm and 35mm.

Initially that is what I did. I bought two prime lenses to go with the a7iii and I quickly realized that for video a zoom lens would come in very useful because you have one lens that can change focal lengths. Afterwards I got the Tamron 28-75 for video work and it made my work easier because I could leave one lens on my camera and shoot wide and zoom in when needed as oppose to having to swap out lenses every 5 minutes or so for different shooting situations. So if you are looking for a lens that can pretty much do it all and you are ok with an f stop of 2.8 then I say go for the Tamron. For me it has been relaible when it comes to AF, just have to make sure you change some AF settings in the menus of the camera. Sharpness I cannot notice any difference and bokeh obviously is going to be a bit less given the fact that it is f2.8 versus f2 on the 28mm or f1.8 on the 55mm. Whichever way you look at it each choice has pros and cons. The Primes will give you faster lenses, better low light performance, they are native so will work better with a Sony camera, lighter. The major con I see going with the primes is that you will have to swap out lenses on a regular basis if you are the sort of person that can't shoot at only one focal length for a long time like me. For the Tamron Pros you have that it is one lens that allows you switch between different focal lengths which saves time and space in your camera bag, f stop of 2.8 which is still great for low light especially on a zoom lens. But then again that f2.8 can also be seen as a con when comparing it to the 2 primes you are also considering. So I would say it all boils down to what your needs are for a lens and how you feel about the difference in f stops.

@@eduardoarias_photo Would you recommend me to sell my two prime lenses (sony 28mm and zeiss 55mm 1.8) to get a tamron 28-70?

@@cheloronaldo It's hard to say. If you feel comfortable using the primes and like the results you are getting from them then I say keep them. But if you really want to give the Tamron a test, find a local camera shop near you that will let you rent it out for a day so you can see how you get along with the Tamron compared to the primes.

55mm should be kept even if u r getting Tamron 28-75

I am currently using the A7RIII for photography and the sharpness of 28mm at f2 is just not usable whenever your subject isn’t at the center of the frame. You can only get satisfying IQ from edge to edge when step down to f2.8 or so. I think it would be great to get a Tamron 28-75 for general shooting and 55 ZA when it’s in low light situation.

From what I remember I never noticed any sound when it would be focusing.

@@eduardoarias_photo Thanks. And great video. What do you use now?

yeah I was considering it

SneakerPicker23 i am in the same way .. which were your choice?

28mm sony, so sharp and fasr
