The BEST All-Around Lens for Sony Cameras (Tamron 28-200mm Review)

Показать описание

The Tamron 28-200mm f2.8-5.6 is arguably the best lens for Sony cameras, both full-frame and crop sensor, on the market today. If you're looking for a lens that can capture everything from the wide-angle grand landscape all the way down to the finer macro details, this lens is the perfect choice for Sony.

I personally think this lens is one of the best for landscape photography in particular. It's a lens every Sony landscape photographer should own if you want to lighten the load in your bag without losing focal length. Best of all, the price is just right on this lens: under $800.

Hi Austin, great review and fantastic samples. I agree this lens and the 17-28 make a great landscape package. The combo weights almost nothing. It is hard to believe that the image quality can be this good from such lightweight lenses. Kudos to Tamron and Sony for giving us medium format quality in a small FF body.

I have the 17-28 already and had the 28-200 for a few days a couple of years ago. One of my all time favorite images was shot using the 28-200 at 28mm shot wide open. For my two lens landscape work, I opted for the 17-28 and the 50-400. It is a little heavier combo but gives me far more reach and macro capability. I was at Zion in December and again in January and got really nice images at 17mm and 400mm and focal lengths in between mostly on the 50-400 lens.

I have to borrow the 28-200 and give it another go. I may replace my 50-400 with the 28-200!

I love my Tamron 35-150 f/2-2.8 but it is heavier than this lens with less range but I suspect the clarity on a A7RIV or A7RV would be noticable between the 2 lenses. True you're not shooting wide open but why not go wider like the Laowa 10mm?

Where I live I don't wouldn't need a 200mm often, but would be sweet for car shots from a distance. 70mm isn't enough when I'm too far away. I see Tamron has an even longer lens: Tamron 28-300mm F/4-7.1 Di III RXD

With the new Tamron 28-300, I wonder if this is still relevant?

Can it keep up with the latest AF performance of a A7C II? Thanks

Hi
I'm a baby in terms of understanding this so I'm just going to ask my questions.
Assume that weight and size don't matter for my purposes.
Let's say that multiple lenses are not much of a factor but should be considered. No one wants to lug 5-7 lenses in a pack on a hike. But maybe 3 or so are fine.
Let's also leave price as a factor that's limiting but not necessarily the most limiting.
Also assume that we're not talking about primes.
Questions:
What does getting the top Sony GM lenses or Zeiss lenses which cover the same range get me over the Tamron?
If I could afford the Sony or Zeiss lenses and I didn't care much about the weight, why would I want to consider Tamron?

Thank you for putting up with my noob questions.

So you're using the Sony a7rv if you have 60mp, right?
