Pros: good sharpness in the middle of the frame, price

Cons: very poor sharpness at the edges, clutter, lampshade, poor resistance to reflections

Opinion: I was able to try this lens for a week on Sony A7RII. I was very disappointed especially for the poor quality of the edges, in the face of a sharpness in the center more than discreet. I do not agree with the enthusiastic reviews that are read here on the forum and I doubt that there is in the production there is a certain lack in quality controls I found feedback on my negative opinion in the review made by Photozone, where the optics did not go further a modest score of 2.5. https://www.opticallimits.com/sonyalphaff/1064-tamron2875f28e?start=1 If this is the case, it seems to me that it is possible to make a decent use only in the street, but certainly not in the landscape and in the filming of architecture.

Pros: Already good sharpness at 2.8, constant diaphragm at all focal points, chromatic yield, maf speed, reduced footprint, minimum distance maf

Cons: 28mm-2.8 vignette

Opinion: A large lens, sharper than the sony fe 24-70 f4, certainly the plastic construction leaves a little to be desired for the price paid, however the yield is exceptional. Nitido already at f2.8, improves by closing to f4, a f8 is a blade. Zoom 28-75 is not a big problem, some complain that those 4mm are missing, I think if a scene doesn't stand with 28mm it's probably not even with 24mm. The focus is very fast, maybe not as much as Sony's 24 70 2.8, but for this price range it's top and is compatible with all Sony autofocus modes (or at least it is on my Sony A7Rii) eye-af including , fast and accurate. The color rendering has something more than the other sony lenses, the colors are more vivid in general. The minimum distance for focus is really small, allowing you to shoot almost macros. Unfortunately it vignettes and not a little at 28mm 2.8, but it is easily corrected in post.

Pros: True handyman. Distance of focus, value for money, weight and size, aberrations little present.

Cons: Vignetting

Opinion: Updated review, after intensive use in August and July. The premise: I use this optics on a Sony A7III, paired with a Samyang 35mm f/1.4. Being used to the quality of a fixed, although not "premium", like the Samyang, I felt a bit the difference in "optical" quality, but I declare i am satisfied. The main strengths are: AF totally silent and fast, the EYE AF works very well (even in poor light conditions. Minimum focus distance, and is perhaps the main reason why I opted for this goal, since it is the icing on the cake that makes this optics a complete all-rounder (sure, do not expect the quality of a 90mm f/2.8 G Master, but it also seems obvious). Weight and lightness, content for the optics that is; mounted on the Sony A7III is balanced with the body. The sharpness is very good, although it did not leave me impressed as I would have expected from various reviews that describe it as "extremely sharp"; however personally I am fine with that, and I find it very good already at TA. Design, because this lens seems to me built "with brain", that precise choices have been made (materials, focal, etc...) to get to offer excellent optical qualities at a very low price, offering certain characteristics (weight and lightness in the first place) that the rival G Master does not offer (of course). Chromatic aberrations. I don't know if having the Samyang in my hand, which suffers some of it, I'm "used badly", or I have a lucky sample, but I never had any problems, not even at TA. The points I consider "neutral" are: - TA vignette. Nothing excessive: it is present and corrects itself with a click in post production, but for the price is the very acceptable. Construction. The lens is made of plastic, as is the lampshade. It may not please the most "squeamish", but personally it still gives me a very good feeling, and honestly if you are looking for all these optical qualities and a proper construction, you have to release more money. "The lens is moisture-resistant," which means everything and nothing. A guy who makes videos on YouTube (Sebastiano Chiari) took him with him to Iceland without any problems; however, I would not use it as a "battle" goal: if your needs are high, I would orient myself towards the G Master. Is it a shame he's not as tropicalized as brother G Master? Of course, if he were tropicalized as his rival, he would have been the top... but it wouldn't cost 750 euros, so you always go back to the quality/price discourse. The "negative" points (nonsense at the end) are: reverse focal dial. It's not that I'm much of a flaw, it's more a personal thing, you get used to it in the end. I also point out that the focus dial is closer to the machine body than the dial to change focal, an "inverse" system, although I personally find it more comfortable as well. I don't find any points against the price: it's not a particularly three-dimensional optics, built with excellent materials, with zero vignettes and distortion. But you still have to consider that it costs 750-800 euros: there are no alternatives, and I would say that it already offers a lot for what it costs. So, the talk is simple: if you can't afford a G Master, but look for an optician that can do everything, thanks to the minimum focus distance, the 2.8 diaphragm and the usual zoom focal (a little less wide-angle than usual), counting that the weight for you it is important,then I highly recommend the purchase. Otherwise, if you are looking for the highest quality, you will take a fixed or the G Master.

Pros: Lightness, Aperture, sharpness, AF

Cons: Aberration to TA.

Opinion: Personally I am using this lens on A7II and I have to say it was a great buy. The image rendition is great at all focal lengths, sharp lens with a fast accurate AF and noiseless. Large opening that also allows portrait use with natural light indoors. The advice much also for the value for money compared to other brands more emblazoned and overpriced. Although I read that people report as negativity its plastic structure I do not find any problem on the matter, indeed certainly gains in lightness.

Pros: Light, value for money.

Cons: All plastic.

Opinion: A great target! Good sharpness already at TA, great at F8/F11. The focal 28/75 does me no problem... I never felt the lack of those 3 mm... To the most objective change. IMHO, from the best between 35 and 60 mm! All in all you can say it has a very high value for money.. Although it is to be said that it is completely plasticous.. This is certainly not a merit.. But this feature makes it light and on A7II everything is well balanced.
