Pros: Sharpness, focal range, stabilization

Cons: It has no extension block, certainly not reduced footprint but not exaggerated

Opinion: I was looking for a replacement for the 16-50 kit which obviously has many limitations. I discarded other lenses such as 16-70 F4 and the 18-105 F4 Sony because I found a lot of criticism both here and on other forums. Sony's 16-55 F2.8 is priced higher and lacks stabilization and a smaller focal length range. The sigma has the great advantage of compactness and price but even that I have not heard great praise. I must say that the Tamron has pleasantly surprised me in the yield and although it is not compact it offers a nice support partly compensating for the somewhat poor grip of my A6000. The photos seem very sharp to me. AF very fast, quiet and without breathing problems. Stabilization allows you to shoot freehand with times well below 1/100 if conditions allow. It has a diameter that it rests on an edge protruding below the camera. Problem solved with a specific slide that has in turn improved the grip, which I highly recommend. Another thing I miss is the zoom extension lock. I have never had problems, but I consider it a very ineffective thing on the price and final and of great comfort. It would have been perfect if it also had switches for AF/MF and to turn off stabilization, but you can't have it all.

Pros: Sharpness, contrast, AF, colors, VC, focal ranges, etc...

Cons: Makes the camera pop-up flash unusable (creates shadows); marked distortion at the wide focal length.

Opinion: What can I say: it's an almost perfect goal. For me it is a perfect match for the sony APSC, especially for models without stabilization (almost all). It is a remarkable lens for the sharpness (at all focal lengths, to the detriment of the reviews I found on youtube), for the colors it returns and contrast. The stabilization is very effective and allows you to shoot well below the safety times by adopting the classic precautions. Valid AF is accurate. There is the "small" problem of interference with the flash that I wrote about in the cons and distortion at the slightest focal length. I would recommend the purchase to the undecided. I preferred it to the SIGMA 18-50 for the greater focal range and for stabilization. I think I made the right choice.

Pros: Sharpness, colors, stabilization, flare resistance, versatility, minimum focus distance.

Cons: 17mm distortion and not excellent sharpness at 70mm, heavier than the body of the a6400 but getting used to it.

Opinion: After a year of fixed focal points (Samyang 12 and Sigma 30 1.4) I wanted a more versatile lens that maintained an acceptable/high quality. I got to try it only indoor and currently I fell in love with it, versatile, the colors are warm and pleasant, you can take decent macro shots, and the convenience of having a lens all done without having to change it continuously is priceless, and it is cheaper than rival Sony 16-55. Stabilization another qualitative leap, for photos with little light. I took freehand at 70 mm with times of 1/20 getting quite sharp shots, huge advantage.

Pros: Focal Length, Price/Performance Ratio, 5-Year Warranty, Stabilization, Opening f/2.8 at All Focal Points

Cons: If I really have to look for the hair in the egg, using darktable there is still no Lens Profile for distortion correction

Opinion: Since I am a beginner, having an uns stabilized machine I really appreciate this feature. As for sharpness it does not envy anything to the Sigma 16mm 1.4, at f/5.6 it is sharp practically anywhere in the shot. For my needs having a lens that I practically never have to disassemble for its versatility is priceless. From the first shots I felt the significant improvement in image quality and that's what I was looking for. It also defends for a few amateur macro shots, then promoted to 360 degrees. Distortion is high especially at minimal and maximum focal points, and being a recently released lens on the market is only supported by Adobe at the moment. But lensfun will also soon add this lens to its database and we can use the correction profile on open source software that is based on this project
