New Tamron 28-75mm FE test by Max Yuryev, Allan Weitz, That1Cameraguy and Jason Vong

Tamron 28-75mm FE lens at BHphoto, Amazon, BuyDig, FocusCamera and Adorama. In Europe at Amazon DE and WexUK.

Allan Weitz tested the lens in the field:

The Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III RXD not only cuts the mustard when mounted on a high-resolution camera but, compared to comparable lenses in this focal range, it’s also a bit smaller, notably lighter and, without any doubts, more affordable than the competition.

Max Yuryev, That1Cameraguy and Jason Vong posted new tests done with the new Tamron 28-75mm. Max says this is an impressive lens despite a few shortcomings (like distortion and build quality).

Sony A7III demand raises the price up to $2,900 on Amazon

The Sony A7III is completely out of Stock in the USA. And if you want to get one quick you have to pay up to $2,900 on Amazon US. Of course you shouldn’t do that. But this confirms that this cameras is selling like hotcakes and Sony probably wasn’t expecting such a demand.

Here are new A7III test videos:

Sony FE 24-105mm test by Lensrentals: “Sony has made a damn good lens”

Lensrentals tested the Sony 24-105mm lens and concludes:

Sony has made a damn good 24-105mm f/4 lens. Damn good being a relative term, of course, because it’s a 24-105mm lens and I have come to hate them all so I can’t be too nice about it. But it’s clearly better than the Canon 24-105mm f/4 II IS, and at least as good as the Sigma 24-105mm f/4 Art or Nikon 24-120mm VR. Fanboys, may start their hair-splitting engines now about which one is two angstroms better than the other.
But if you shoot Sony and you want a minivan 24-105mm f/4, this is the best option. If you shoot a lot at the long end, it’s the best option for sure. I would recommend shooting it wide open unless you need more depth of field; you don’t gain a lot stopping down. And if you do a lot of landscape shots you might want to do some simple tests to see where the field curvature on your copy goes.
