Tamron 17-28 vs. Sony 16-35 (F4)


I purchased the Tamron 17-28MM F2.8 wide angle lens on Black Friday 2021. I have been using the lens for the last 3 months to get a feel for it.

In October 2020, I purchased the Sony 16-35MM F4 lens (on ebay for $700) and have used this lens for most of my YouTube videos for the last 18 months.

This video discusses the differences and benefits of each lens and I share my thoughts on what is the better buy in 2022.

Note: The Sony 16-35MM currently retails for $1348 new.

Sony 35mm F 1.8 Lens Review

I recently purchased a Sony 35mm F1.8 lens (SEL35F18F) and paired it with my A7C to make this review.

The low light performance is very good, but at the end of the video I was overly optimistic about the low light performance (I literally shut all of the lights off), as expected the ISO ramped up and caused some grain.

It still looked sharp and clear with very minimal lighting and I am looking forward to playing around with background lighting when I use it again.
