Pros:excellent sharpness even at full aperture - fast and precise autofocus - excellent construction in relation to the price
Cons:for 850 euros I did not find any
Opinion:Before buying this Tamron 28-75 second version I used for a long time the 24-105 f4 Sony, amazing lens and very versatile thanks to stabilization. Unfortunately the f/4 aperture indoors was sometimes not optimal and, hoping for a good quality at full aperture, I opted to buy this lens. On a constructive level it seems well made and the rings are fluid and silent. It has a button and a slider with two programmable modes (via software as it has a USBC socket directly on the body) that allow various configurations. At an optical level it turned out to be beyond the most optimistic expectations as at full aperture at f2.8 it is sharper (even if slightly) than my Sony 24-105 at f4, surprising edges with a very slight drop to f2.8 but sharp almost as in the center at f4, always higher than Sony. Fast autofocus and without uncertainties. As for the 24mm focal length, which sometimes proves to be very useful, I bought a 24 f1.8 AF Samyang (another surprising lens that I will review shortly) and, for the part concerning the focal length greater than 75mm, the Tamron 70-180 f2.8 iii VXD, another very performing lens and of which I was very satisfied. In my opinion Tamron has worked very well on these lenses, I just have to use them for some time to verify their reliability. For now I can only recommend them.
Opinion:I tried before buying this lens, its rival par excellence, or the sigma contemporaney 28-70 f2.8, given immediately back after a few days since the lens with a not exceptional definition, and at 70mm it has a REALLY important collapse. Just arrived the Tamron G2 28-75 the first thing you notice is a little more weight and size, but we are on another planet, the comparison does not hold, clearly superior, slightly warmer colors than the sigma, but really a sharpness almost from fixed optics, if it beats it on equal terms with the sigma 24-70 Art. Very satisfied with this goal, taken at about 800 euros new, with 5 years warranty, what more could you want??? It also has a proprietary software with usb c socket where you can set many parameters, as well as a button also programmable If you are index between this and 28-70 sigma, do not think twice and buy this tamron G2 .. you will not regret it.
Pros:Build quality, tropicalization, programmable key, minimum AF distance, image quality
Cons:Barrel extension decidedly noisy and not very reassuring, price, "ring" diaphragms
Opinion:I bought this Tamron 28-75 G2 after trying the first version, looking for better build quality, decent hand feedback and some optical improvements (which never hurts). Construction side is definitely better, looks more solid and the barrel with different shapes improves the feedback and does not look like a Chinese Pringles tube. Too bad instead for the extension of the barrel during the zoom, which makes a tremendous noise of friction and reduced tolerances. It is hard to shoot, noisy in the video field and from a wrong impression on 900 euros of optics. His is the same as a barrel with grains of sand inside, but already from new. Moreover, if it already has such reduced tolerances when new, the time you get stuck a few grains of dust what will happen? The programmable button also, among the various functions, offers one that seemed phenomenal to me: the focus ring can be transformed into a diaphragm ring! Too bad that then it is not so functional, since it does not change value in a regular way and without clicks it does not return feedback. On the optical quality nothing to say, so much stuff. Sharp, lightning fast AF always, pleasant blur, focus even closer than before. Much faster, more reliable and more accurate than the first version You really do everything. I am not convinced that it is worth spending 900 euros for this instead of 500 for the first version used guaranteed, considering that it still has some diffettuccio .. EDIT: About the last sentence, in the end I returned it in favor of the first version at half price. A few more sacrifices, but nothing dramatic compared to the economic difference.
