Opinion:Comparing it with the Nikon 70-200 2.8 VR2 (with VR off) on moving subjects on the Nikon Z8 (firmware 2.1) I noticed more inconsistency in focusing. If they had been able to get to 24 or 28mm it would always have been mounted on the camera body, I associated the 24 sigma art f1.4 or the minimalist 28mm f2.8 Nikkor Z. It's not a lens that goes unnoticed but it's an all-rounder that does its job, I found myself preferring it to more important lens configurations (24-35-85 sigma art f1.4 for example, or the triad 14-24, 24-70, 70-200 nikkor 2.8) to reduce weight during demanding trips when I put in my backpack for example the 200-500 5.6, or when I didn't want to put lenses in the hold that didn't fit in the hand luggage due to weight and/or size. I'm trying to understand if there is a problem related to a use of battery when grafted on the Nikon Z8 and placed in the backpack: after not even two weeks I found the mirrorless several times discharged, an event that does not happen with the other dozens of lenses I have and that happens to be grafted for some time, I asked for information to the Italian assistance but they were not able to give any clue / suggestion. The installed lens firmware is the latest available: 2024.05.30.
Cons:Absence of OS but which would have inevitably enlarged the lens
Opinion:What can I say, a work tool. Buying it for anything else seems silly to me. In a work context I can say that it can serenely cover the needs of a professional from A to Z. AF speed, quality, truly absurd. You don't miss the range between 150mm and 200mm, a focal length that in my opinion leaves the time it finds when shooting events, and it is necessary that the PDC is not too small, otherwise you will throw away the photo. Digitally cropping when shooting at 150mm can give you great results though. In short, nothing to say, it costs but honestly I prefer it to Samyang for obvious reasons of reliability and possible assistance in case of problems. It's bulky but allows you to use a single camera body during an event, and it makes all the difference.
Pros:Focal range, brightness, sharpness at all apertures
Cons:I weigh but you get used to it. Bayonet coupling z-mount unsafe
Opinion:Leaving aside the merits that are now evident to everyone, my specimen had the z-mount coupling. With the lens attached I noticed a slight play between the lens and the body, even if minimal, but I felt it. During a wedding, the lens detached by itself and fell to the ground. I looked for other reviews that confirm this huge flaw and I found several. The defect does not seem to be so isolated but only for z attack. I started returned and I am waiting for the second specimen hoping it is not defective.
Cons:At first it weighs a bit, in two weeks you get used to it
Opinion:I bought the Tamron 35-150 in March 2024 and what can I say, it's a versatile lens like never before, you can switch from a wide angle to a narrow angle and take a lot of different photos without losing the brightness of the environment given its excellent aperture. It's also great for portraits (obviously it's not at the level of a fixed lens). Every time I use the Tamron I am amazed, it takes frighteningly beautiful photos, obviously you also have to couple it with a medium/high-end camera to make the most of all its potential.
Pros:Large focal range with record-breaking 2/2.8 brightness, edge-to-edge sharpness even at TA, blurred, you can do anything with it. Lens hood included.
Cons:I didn't find any
Opinion:Crazy lens for optical scheme. It was recommended to me, I was a bit skeptical but I have to admit that it is a crazy lens at a more than fair price. I used it on the a7IV, in the studio, outdoors and indoors. He doesn't miss a beat. Razor-sharp edge-to-edge. An f2 on a zoom is nothing short of mind-blowing. With this lens you can do an event, a wedding, a studio shooting, a reportage, all with just a lens. Very nice blur. I found no cons. Firmware updated to the latest version on a7IV I didn't have the af issues I had read about in some review above. Excellent construction. It is convenient that it can be updated with the mount directly on the lens. Really a successful lens. Well done Tamron.
