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.
Cons:The weight is felt, but considering the yield we can adapt.
Opinion:It's hard to find a lens like this and I sacrificed myself to get it. I, who was looking for light lenses for some problems I have on my hands, decided to buy it and I use it with my great satisfaction on the Nikon Z8. And? A lens that allows you to do many things: events, photos in the theater, portraits, reportage, even street, landscape and more. With its range from 35mm to 150mm and its aperture from F2 to F2.8 it presents itself with all its sharpness, dynamic range, color quality and with an autofocus that on the Z8 does not make you regret the original Nikon Z Mount. It is important not heavier than a Nikon /70/200, but this can replace a 24-70 and a 70-200 and even some substantial fixed ones and I who do landscape with long exposures I can directly use the 82 mm Nisi Holder with its plate filters and polarizer. I won't dwell any further, others before me others have been better but what I want to tell you is to try it on both Nikon and Sony and you will be impressed.
Pros:Insane edge-to-edge CT sharpness. Fast and quiet. Distortions and aberrations. USB-C socket on the barrel. Resistance to flares. Price.
Cons:Weight. Filters from 82. Not stabilized.
Opinion:After six months of intensive use in my theatrical work environment, I can begin to paint a picture of this versatile Tamron lens. Starting with the unboxing, the first thing that jumped out at me is the usb-c socket on the barrel. One thing that all third-party lenses should have to avoid using those unbearable plasticky shenanigans in order to update the firmware. Then I immediately notice the excellent lens hood with button lock, the zoom lock and the usual very useful programmable buttons from Sony menus plus the one customizable by Tamron software. The first test I always perform on a new lens is the shift, and fortunately, everything is perfect (and in all honesty I have never found one out of phase for 10 years of doing it.) Then what interests me most about this lens: edge-to-edge sharpness at TA. I bought this zoom exclusively to use it 99% wide open as I work in very precarious light conditions. I do the cityscape with the 35, 55 and 85 Sony 1.8 plus the 35, 75 and 135 Samyang 1.8. All this, of course, at the aperture from which the Tamron starts, i.e. f2.0 at 35mm, f2.2 at 55mm, f2.5 at 75mm and f2.8 at 85mm. And it's incredible, really unbelievable how it manages to eat both at the edges and in the center all the lenses mentioned above except one. the Samyang 135 lens of excellent quality maybe just a little below the GM. It's a result that I didn't expect, especially at the edges, and especially at TA. It practically nullifies a set of good level fixtures. I then prepare some quick shots on metal surfaces and notice the presence of a modest fringing but nothing more. The distortion of the lines over the entire range is also excellent, very little evident. On the labor field, in these six months, he has proved to be majestic. its VXD engine combined with the tracking of my A7IV never made me miss a shot. Very fast and very important to me, quiet. Nice soft zoom with a range of about 1/4 turn to cover all focal lengths. Excellent resistance to flares considering that in many situations I have headlights and spotlights shot at. Very nice blur but obviously not poetic as a 1.4 lens can be. I can also try to find some cons. The weight and size certainly feel. Especially if there isn't a batterygrip that shifts the balance a bit. I've always tolerated external zooms but with this focal range the miracles probably couldn't be done. Filters from 82. The good ones are very expensive. It's not stabilized, but the one in the room works very well. In conclusion, for me and for those who, like me, deal with reportage, weddings, theater and concerts, this lens is a real game changing. Paid 1350 euros import (thanks also to the release of the twin Samyang) it is a product that I would over-recommend.
Pros:Obviously focal range and quality in construction, good at all focal lengths
Cons:Xxx
Opinion:I state that it was a fixation of mine, I own the luxury "all-rounder" 24-70 GMII which is a great lens and a whole series of fixed 1.4 and 1.8 from 35 to 85 so my "palate" can still be defined as "good". Enticed by this all-rounder with more excursion and excellent aperture, which would have allowed me to often use a single lens more for events, which I deal with. I must say that the lens does not disappoint in the focal lengths from 35 to 135 to 150 it seems a little less engraved.
Cons:Slow focusing, especially in low light conditions. External zoom that risks collecting dirt and dust
Opinion:I bought this lens a few days ago and put it through its paces during the Halloween event. I must say that its versatility is really wide and as far as uses during an event are concerned, I think it is one of the best optics on the market. I never preferred the 24-70 because I used it only with focal lengths higher than 35mm since if I needed a wide angle I always looked for something more extreme than the 24 and the fact that you can get to 150mm going unnoticed to steal even some portraits I find a fantastic thing. The Z-mount works quite well with the Nikon Z9 but unfortunately the focusing speed and its accuracy leave something to be desired. During the evening of testing in the disco, with the lights that still have to be guessed and change quickly, even if they shoot in bursts, it was not easy to find the fire in many situations. On video, the situation gets even worse. However, I think it's a very good compromise and worth testing it for even longer in optimal situations, where I'm sure it will perform much better. Overall good optics.
