Should You Buy the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 on Sony a6000, Sony a6300, Sony a6500? | Discussion

Are you shooting on APS-C and thinking about the Tamron 28-75? What's your situation?

i have a6500, i should buy tamron 17-70 or 28-75. Help me pls

In my case, i just have enough money to buy this glass and a aps-c body, then upgrade to ff in the future

Can we use tamron 70-300 on a6000?? Please mention the good adapter for the same

Hello. I have a A6300 and only the lens kit. I am studying to buy another for vídeo. But I can't decide myself, because my câmera does not have stabilization and I am interested in a câmera f1.8 ou f2. Which lenses would you recommend? I more like a 1 lens person.

Auto focus performance as same as 24-105 F/4 & 24-70 F/2.8?

Which one will be sharper?
Sigma 30mm vs. Tamron 28-75. (At f2.8)

So instead of getting the 30mm f1.4 and the 56mm 1.4 from Sigma for my A6000, i whould likely get instead the Tamron 28-75 f2.8. I dont mind the slower f Stop, but for portraits and as all around use Lens, this whould be more then perfect for me. 😉

Hi bro, Do you think that tamron 28-75 f/2.8 and sigma 16 f/1.4 will make a good combination for Sony A6400 for photography? It lacks the IBIS on camera and steady shot on lenses, is it a huge deal? Please let me know your opinion. XD

Hey i wanna buy a mirror less camera as i have one issue that does tamron works with the mirror less camera

My situation is:
I have a pair of APSC cameras with a plethora of APSC lenses.
I also have three full-frame Sony lenses: 85mm f/1.8, 70-200mm f/4 G OSS and the 24-70mm f/4 Vario-Tessar... I really like the first two lenses but run hot and cold on the Vario-Tessar.
I am going to add a used Sony A7Rii to my stable of cameras. My research indicates that for portraits and for landscapes, the A7Rii will serve me as well as an A7iii. I can land a used A7Rii for between one thousand and twelve hundred bucks on eBay. The APSC cameras are fine for action, I will seldom if ever shoot video...
I know that the 85mm f/1.8 and 70-200mm f/4 G OSS lenses will serve me very well on the A7Rii but, I am also sure that the Vario-Tessar is no where nearly sharp enough to use with a 42mp camera.
Enter the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 lens. I can sell the Tessar for say $400 and the Tamron is presently running $899 at Adorama. so for an extra five hundred bucks, I can set myself up with the Tamron which will be mainly used on the full frame body but, which will occasionally be used on the APSC bodies...

What about Image quality? You're not talking about that or did I miss it?

Does a full frame lens require more light on a crop body? the tamron f2.8 have better low light performance than a native f4 lens?

is there any significant loss of quality when using full frame lenses on apsc bodies? i do paid work on an a6000 and plan to move to an a7iii in the near future. i would like to invest in full frame glass right now but dont want to sacrifice too much quality while doing so. this method seems to make the most sense to me rather than buying a set of apsc lenses only to sell them off and buy a separate set of FE lenses

Since it's auto focus is corrected by a firmware update...
Should i get it with a sony a6400 or samyang 35 mm f1.4?
Please help...

What should I get for my Sony A7 mark 2, Sony 24-105 F4 or Tamron 28-75. Please advice. Thanks

i have Sigma 16mm,56mm f1.4, Sony 35mm f1.8 and the 18-135mm do i really need the Tamron 28-75? i have the a6500

Hi can you make a review for tamron 18-200 e-mount? It’s gonna be a big help. Thanks!

Is the lack of image stabilization a problem with the Tamron and Sony a600? I'm asking specifically for wedding photography.

I'm kinda torn. I'm waiting on the A7000 but I want a good multi use lens for both photography and video. The 28-75 would be great if the camera was going to be full frame but since it's going to be aps-c, being forced to 42mm on the low end is just not super usable in close quarters for video especially. But the f2.8 is something I have wanted for a while and I know it makes a pretty big difference in low light scenarios. On the other hand the 16-70 giving a 24mm equivalent is certainly wide enough for anything I would need it for but then it's forced to f4. Are there any decent wide angled lenses for a few hundred bucks? I've been looking around and it seems to be lacking. Other than a few Sonys that cost well into 2 grand that is just not even feesable.

this is an intresting one, currently shoot on a a6300, photos and video, great little camera, in college making shorts and making some small money doing photoshoots, i want to upgrade to full frame, a7iii, mostlikley, however a good lens along side that body is a lot of money for a college student to pay, when its not paying for itself by doing vid or photo work, since i decided that the g master is not worth it over the tamron, visual comparison, the tamron performs amazingly side by side, sharper in the more telephoto side at f2.8, i wanted to get a 18-105 f4 for my apsc, but whats the point its basically kit lens quality nothing special is it, for 300 ish more i can get the tamron, and i own the sigma 30mm already, i could sell that and pick up the 16mm variant, to have a full kit, makes sense to me to do this over buying more apsc lenses, sice i want to upgrade in later 2019, thoughts ?

That’s not really true what you telling about the Tamron with the APS-C cam. You DON‘T have 28-75 and 2.8. When you multiply both with 1.5 you got the right values Dude...

Thanks for this video. Im currently waiting for the a7000 to transfer to sony and know where to start.
If the a7000 has IBIS it will be awesome.
If the a7000 will be very expensive im just going to pass on it and get the a6400 as I use a lavalier mic anyway so the popup screen is not a problem, AF is a beast and in that situation I would go with the Sigma 16mm f/1.4 and the Tamron 24-75 f/2.8 combo. That will let me vlog and have a good lens for everyday to capture all I need.
+ the tamron will have me covered when I upgrade to a a7rIII in the future (that's the goal atm)

Great video, good insight. Just wanted to say that people get so obsessed over the equipment sometimes that it becomes unhealthy. Thanks for not doing that and just giving us the real stuff. Have a nice day ;)

nice

Great! Your the first one who did understand that the A6000 is only a backup/travel camera for Sony A7(R)3 users.

Is it good if i use the lens at a7ii?...how about AF?..is it fast just like the nativ lens?

Anyone got a sollution for using the tamron with on camera flash without casting a shadow on the photo because of the length of the lens? any accesoires?

Hi, someone posted in a photograph group that this Tamron 28-75 is good on his a7iii after firmware update. But when it is used with his a6500, the AF still hunts with taking photos. Do you have that problem? If this is indeed a problem, then it would be quite bad with my a6000...

Interesting, thanks for the thoughts. Probably I will stay with the a6500 and the Sony Zeiss 1670 f4 for the moment, maybe I will upgrade to full frame later :D

I think they upgrade they firmwire and the focus problem will be gone but if u running tamron 28 - 75 2.8 on a aps-c camera it would be like a 42mm - 112mm 4.2 ??

Great! Very useful analysis. I just tested my brand new Tamron ( ver.2 as shipped) on my a6500 and was thrilled with it . Seems like a dream pairing and the weight is better distributed than the 18-105 even though they are comparable. I have the Sigma 16f1.4 already and that does seem like a great small two lens travel kit! What a sweet lens for both full frame and APS-C.
Danny, from your experience, if you had both the a6500 and the a7iii what crossover lens combos would you recommend? I am thinking of traveling with both bodies and 'dual purpose' lenses. Feel free to mention any combo - not just the lenses discussed. Thanks, your discussions are always thought provoking!

Dude they released the firmware update and now.. NOW..the thing is a beast with autofocus.. good vid though thanks

Is sonya6000 worth in2018 ???

would you recommend 6500 for photography

As an ASPC commercial filmmaker that uses a gimbal, my 19 2.8 is the most common lens on my person. With that said, put the money towards a 16 1.4 and, the 28-75 would be perfect to cover whatever else you need for the price. The 24-70 f4 isn’t very sharp for $650+c and the 18-105 doesn’t always give you light that you need... plus it’s also a big lens that when shooting photos gives a bad distortion. The 28-75 2.8 is perfect to cover the rest of the field, especially portraits for aspc. Of course I have a 30 1.4 and 50 1.8 to cover my prime ranges.

The 28-75 2.8 has been statistically shown to be as sharp or sharper than its rival 24-70 2.8 G master on top of it being half the price. It would be optimally clear on a 6300, as it is also rated high when tested with an A7III, which is what matters when getting a lens of its price range. Definitely worth going in on that.

I was wondering should go with A7III with Tamron 28-75 or A6500 with Sony 18-105 plus the sigma 16/30 f 1.4 lenses ?

No sample fotos/videos? :(

Guys.. So A6300 with Sigma 16mm and Tamron 28-75 for video and photos will be fine?

Dear Danny have you had a chance to test the Updated (and hopefully fixed) version of the Tamron 28-75?

Any news about af issue? Did tamron release any new statement? Tamron Poland say: we dont have official statement about that issue....

please stop introducing yourself in every video. makes it harder to watch the next video.

I shoot on an a6000 and after a fast sports lens for Moutain biking... would you use the tamron? What is focus speed like? And does it always nail focus? Thanks

Which lens would be good for the a6000 if you want to start with filmmaking ? I only have the Samyang/Rokinon 12 mm f 2.0. I guess a lens with OSS because of the missing stabilization of the a6000 ?

Hello, Can you let us know how this would work with A7II with latest firmware...? Thanks in Advance

Thanks a lot for this video, finally someone who talks about the users of APS-C

The focusing issue does have me concerned, I hope an update can be released soon!

great content bro, now i have sigma 30 1.4 and sony 18-105. i wanna upgrade to 28-75 2.8 and sigma 16 1.4 or 10-18 f4

I keep hearing you say tamaron 20 - 75, is it me? I would add the sigma 19mm 2.8 is great for indoor shots. It is a sharp lens.
