Whats up everyone? I am using the new
Tamron 17-28mm lens.
Its an F2.8 so its going to be great for low light
Different types of situations where you want a
blurry background
but primarily for low light would be the best option for it
I am using a lens that is
in preproduction stages right now so I don't have a full sample of it
so I won't be going through all the image quality
tests and focusing tests as much
but I will say, right off the bat
this looks like a great lens for just travel photography
even vlogging which is what I'm using it for right now
but to give you an idea, I'm just going to plant this down first
So this is at the widest focal length
so 17mm and if I zoom in
that is at 28mm so
its not a huge zoom range but like I said its going to be
great for landscape, maybe for vlogging
architectural photography, anything that requires a wide focal length.
This is going to be great, especially if you have the Tamron
28-75mm lens.
Its a great complimentary lens and who knows,
maybe Tamron will have something to compliment
the 75mm focal length and further
down the track.
I would assume that but we'll have to wait and see
but lets go through all the specs.
The Tamron 17-28mm lens
has a maximum constant aperture of
F2.8 throughout the zoom range and has a
minimum of F22. It weighs approximately
420grams and it is obviously
made for the Sony E-mount system like the A7 III
but can also be used on crop sensor cameras like the
a6400. Although, the
effective focal length turns it into a 25.5mm
42mm lens.
The lens also accepts 67mm filters
and comes supplied with a plastic petal type lens hood.
It has 9 aperture blades for pleasing bokeh
as well as an RXD motor for quick and quiet
focusing for stills and videos.
So I've been walking around with this lens for
the past few hours and I gotta say right off the bat, it
is a lens
that to me is making a really good first impression. I am absolutely
loving what I'm getting out of it. The focusing seems fast,
the image quality seems really good as well
although I can't comment too much on it. I will say it is
at the moment fairly impressive.
In saying that, it is weather sealed
not only on the rubber gasket on the mount of the lens,
but also around the zoom and the focus ring
so just keep that in mind if you're travelling
and if its raining or moist
or fairly dusty, you should be reassured that
the lens can stand its own against the elements.
Seeing how well it handles, I will say it does feel
very well balanced in the hand. I didn't really have an issue
It definitely isn't too front heavy. Taking a look
at the lens itself. Its not exactly
large. I will say its definitely smaller than the Sony 16-35mm GM
but in saying that, I mean even if
it is an F2.8 it really isn't that heavy. I keep bragging
about the weight but this
is actually a really good lens, I will say
I think Tamron are onto another winner with this one.
If you have played with the Tamron 28-75,
it does feel very similar to that lens.
It is a bit plasticky which isn't too big of an issue
because it does keep the weight down
He has a Sony.
What Sony is that?
A7 III mate.
How do you like it?
Its good. How about you guys? What have you got?
5D Mark IV
GH5
Yeah? How are those ones going?
I know its a bit off handed, do you want to be like a sample photo for me?
If you want, its up to you guys.
Sick man
Thanks a lot!
What lens is that?
Its a Tamron 17-28mm
Man, its cool. Just like
I was just filming and some guys came out and they're like
taking a look at the camera I was using and we just started having a chat
and I ended up using them as like sample photos for the
Tamron lens
I thought I would show you just a few shots that I got out of the lens today
but do keep an open mind to it though, until
I get a proper production sample
While it was somewhat of a miserable day
in Sydney, I guess I tried to push myself in showing
you how wide the lens actually is and just
show you how much can actually fit into the frame.
Do stay tuned and remember to subscribe
for a more thorough look at the lens itself
that I'll be posting up very shortly.
I've taken quite a few photos. To be honest, time flew by.
I guess I was really having fun with this lens but
first off let me just say this lens
looks like another winner for Tamron. Especially when you're
comparing it to the Sony 16-35mm
F2.8 GM. In saying that, it is lighter, it is
smaller, it is going to be better value for money
in my opinion. The images that I got out of it
especially because its preproduction
I can't really comment on it but from what I've seen so far
I absolutely love whats coming out of the lens.
I'm not just saying that but in terms of the F2.8 aperture
I think its going to be a bit versatile for event
shooters, landscape photographers, people who vlog like myself, like I'm
using it right now for vlogging and I gotta say
its a really handy lens to use
although I do usually use the 24mm F1.4
but having that extra
having it wider does make it better as well
to me. Especially for certain situations
where you don't have much room to actually film with.
But like I said is only a first look
so I'm going to be doing a full review coming soon. Hopefully towards the end of the month because that's when Tamron is shipping
out the 17-28mm lens
