Why I Use This Lens 90% of the Time | Tamron 28-75mm f2.8

I'm not fanatical about gear, I just like gear that does the job well and that's why i use this lens 90% of the time. The Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 has been my go-to for 3 years now and i'm in no rush to replace it.

In this video I talk about why this lens is the best value proposition and show you a load of photos and video clips shot with the lens. It's not about specs, it's about seeing what this lens can do and, more importantly, what it could do for photographers of any ability and genre.

Thanks for watching everyone! What are your thoughts on third party lenses? 📸

Great video! I especially love your landscape images.

Just upgraded my Tamron 28-75 to the G2 version. You can’t beat it. I used the G1 for the last 4 years and it got an absolute beating 😅

I got the VXD version of this lens a week ago and LOVE it. In fact, I had just purchased the brand-new Sony FE 24-50mm F/2.8 G lens that came out a week ago and returned it for Tamron. Yes, the Sony lens was very good but I like the results from the Tamron more. This will be my primary lens and I especially look forward to using it during my travels.

Love the images mate.
The 1st Gen Tamron 28-75 is still a solid performer although I'm looking to purchase the much improved G2 version.

Great video 👍🏼💯

Great video breakdown and freaking awesome photos that you captured! Peace, Love, and Happiness!!!

[robertgiguere]

Love this lense on my Sony a7iii. Perfect for events as well as landscapes

[chancetalkscameras]

Great review my man! I also still have the G1 and I love it. The G2 would be nice, sure, but I can't warrant giving up a lens that's already so great!

I just purchased a complete Sony full frame kit from a friend who had upgraded. The result is that I now have an A9 with the first generation 28-75 Tamron and the 17-28mm f2.8 Tamron as well. I am very pleased with the image quality of the 28-75 but haven't used the 17-28 enough to form a useful opinion yet. That particular lens may find duty on the a6000 since it be a less extreme wide on that camera. Great video by the way.

Chiming in late here, been down a rabbit hole of Tamron lenses lately. And admittedly I've always been an unwavering native glass guy. But Tamron just announced the 50-400 for the Nikon Z system and I think it very well might be my next lens. I'm also seriously considering the 28-75 2.8 G2, which brought me to this video. Both lenses are exceeding expectations from basically every single review I've seen. Great info here, thanks!

Adding this lens to my arsenal as its on sale currently. It fills a small gap that I have with my current setup. Thank you so much for your candid opinions and explanations on why you enjoy this lens.

[IvyClementine-fuqp]

i'm looking into getting this lens right now and your video was most helpful. thanks a lot!

[MalikWilliamsInteractiveTV]

I am still using this lens. I have been waiting for a reason to buy more lenses, but I haven't had an urge as of yet. 1st generation is doing the job and then some.

[franksterkb]

Lovely video. Direct to the point and with lovely captures as well. Im also wondering how to become a professional photographer like you

I used to own the old g1 version, sold my whole sony kit for Leica, but had to regather my sony kit again because i started school.

Bu this time around i went for primes, and i have been waiting for so long to get a standard zoom again.. I just bought the G2, and i will say - after using the sony 24-70 GM, i much prefer the tamron, primarily because of the weight. And i feel like too many people are stuck on image quality, but dont really consider that sometimes you have to carry this lens around for 8+ hours at some gigs.

bro nice video.
tamron 28-75 is my lenscap aswell.

[Konrado]

Please record what kind of post-production you use in dji mic. They sound great.

[charlesworton]

Just bought the Tamron as a general purpose walk about lens. Haven't done any work with it yet, but the test results on the web are very persuasive. At 50 mm, center sharpness is up there with some of the best 50 mm primes. I feel it's got a lot going for it. The test results are actually superior to the nikon equivalent, which says a lot for the lens.

Hey man love the vid what’s the filter you’re using !! :)

[peterkin]

Nothing much wrong with those pics and I've been impressed enough to subscribe. As for gear? Nikon fixed focal length lenses except for a 35-70mm f3.5 AIS zoom. Goes as follows..20mm f1.8 G, 24mm f1.4 G, 50mm f1.4 G, 60mm f2.8 D Macro, 105mm f1.8 AIS 135mm f2.0 DC and a 200mm f4.0 IFED Macro. Still use film and have a Nikon F4E and a Nikon F5 50th anniversary, It is the photos that count and all the gear on earth does not make anyone a great photographer.
