Pros:Distance of focus, value for money, weight and size, sharpness, aberrations little present.
Cons:Nothing in relation to price.
Opinion:This review will be updated in the future, because it is the result of a short experience (but intense), since I have it for just 1 month and I'm testing it on holiday in the Dolomites. I'm on a Sony A7III paired with a Samyang 35mm f/1.4. Being used to the quality of a fixed f/1.4, I felt a bit the "pass" mounting this zoom, but I declare myself currently satisfied. The main strengths are: - AF totally silent. It responds well even in poor light conditions (firmware version 3), and it's really quiet. The focus dial is not very large (of course), but it guarantees a good feeling. - Minimum focus distance. This is the main reason why I opted for this goal: it is the icing on the cake that embellishes this excellent lens. Weight and lightness. Mounted on the Sony A7III it is very nicely balanced, it is relatively light and therefore is an ideal companion in all situations. Sharpness. It did not impress me, since in the reviews I always read about this great sharpness, but I still find it very good already at TA. I will try to compare it with another specimen to understand if it is my sample that is not so extremely sharp, or I am simply used very well with a 35mm f/1.4 AF Samyang. Design. This lens seems to me to be built "with brain": precise choices have been made (materials, focal, etc...) to get to offer excellent optical qualities at a very low price. Chromatic aberrations. I do not know whether because I have recently in my hand, or because my other lens suffers more, but I do not seem to have noticed any excessive aberration - far from it - not even at full openness. 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 point out that the focus dial is closer to the machine body than the dial to change focal, a reverse system that, however, honestly, does not give me any problem (indeed, maybe I find myself even better). Interlocking the lampshade. I'm going to be a little clumsy, but for the moment I keep fighting a little bit to find the right fit - little stuff anyway. In conclusion, I call this Tamron a great "pragmatic" goal. There's something that doesn't make me scream for joy like the Samyang 35mm AF f/1.4, although the comparison between a zoom and a fixed is probably not too sensible. I find him a great companion in travel (not at the extreme) and in all situations where a zoom is convenient. Well balanced on everything, with that icing on the cake that is the minimum distance of focus (I can't wait to test it in some particular portrait, focused on body details), currently has no rival!
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.
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.
Pros:Sharpness already at TA, light, video quality
Cons:Slight aberration C.
Opinion:I think it is a lens with great potential, I bought it recently but I could already appreciate speed and sharpness. What to say in video mode is spectacular, impossible to say hear the sound of the scooters AF. For the rest what about, at I'm priced an f2.8 with even macro features at just over €800 you can buy
Cons:Platyly Lens hood, flare in backlight difficult to handle, evident vignetting at T.A.
Opinion:I replaced the Zeiss 24-70 F4 with this lens, both for opening and for the yield of detail, higher than all focal lengths. The Zeiss remains superior in backlight, where the flare is virtually absent. The Tamron is perfect in travel considering the reduced weight and the ability to return, even in critical conditions with little light, great shots. Combined with the stabilized sensor of the A7III is perfect. The blur in the portraits at TA is appreciable, even if not properly ' creamy '. Given the price and the undisputed qualities I consider it a great all to do for the Sony A7. Autofocus slightly below the Zeiss 24-70.
