his reviews are long and boring so if someone could watch it give me a TL;DR that'd be great!
He said "Tell nandbytes that he MUST buy one - he'll absolutely love it (for 5min)".

No to both. I have a 24-105 which I'll take when travelling, but I now seem to prefer primes for almost all work. I've owned 28-200s in the past and still have one in A mount, but prefer 24 at the wide end and f4 at the long end.

Well that settles it then. I'll go order one.
Not been on or taking any pics for what seems like ages now!
So, who has the Tamron 70-180? Build quality ok? Any signs of barrel wobble etc? And has anyone changed from the 70-200 GM and any general comparisons?
looking at prices it looks like I would be paying the same price for the sale of mine. Hopefully £1 eBay fees will come up if I do!
Tamron 28-200mm review

Pretty good review - basically it wipes the floor with the Sony 24-240 and is pretty much the best superzoom he has ever used.
Hi all, sorry for invading this thread. I am currently looking at options for a APS-C Mirrorless & was wondering how well they work with the adapter for Canon EF lenses, in particular the 100mm 2.8L & 70-200 2.8L II ?
Many thanks
depends on the adapter and body combination.
Your best bet is something like EOS M6ii which will provide better adapter support and AF.

Camera jungle today sold a 70-200 2.8 GM for the same price as that tamron 70-180mm costs. I know which I’d choose.
Yep. I've had both, I'd take the Tamron every time, size and weight benefit with very little downside.
TBH the difference between 180-200mm isn't a big deal for me, 24mm vs 28mm is a big difference though imo. The weight of the Tamron is enough to make me go for that tbh, and I think that's why they've done it. If weight was similar to the GM I think people would tend to buy a used GM over the Tammy.The fact it’s missing 180-200 is the big sore point for me.
Same with the 28-75 being 28 and not 24.
That’s the issue with tamron, always a caveat sadly.
Their 5 year warranty is great though.

TBH I think my Nikon VRII was worse due to the focus breathing, think it was like 150mm or something at close distanceHow much difference is there in framing between 180mm and 200mm? I could understand that difference at the short end as every mm makes a big difference at that end but how much difference there in real times at the longer end?
The Nikon did have pretty bad focus breathing but in a way I got used to it and didn’t really notice the issue.TBH I think my Nikon VRII was worse due to the focus breathing, think it was like 150mm or something at close distance

Edit: I just found a focal length image comparison from Nikon:

For landscapes that doesn’t make much difference a small crop can resolve. I can’t find a portrait example.
Me neither. That was kind of my point, I didn’t notice it with that and the Tamron will actually give more reach.The Nikon did have pretty bad focus breathing but in a way I got used to it and didn’t really notice the issue.
How do people feel about digital dials?

Future Mirrorless cameras may have digital dials in them, it will make them more user friendly and extremely customizable as user wants. The Nikon Mirrorless with Digital Dials conceptual camera design was shared on our Nikon Mirrorless group at FB by Mario Crespithenewcamera.com
I suppose they may come one day.

For me it depends if they turn into the same effect as the digital zoom on some of the Sony lenses, vs still being a "clicky" dial. The tactile feedback and ability to not have the dial move at the slightest touch is key. Or a hybrid with a switch like what the G7X mkII lens can do.How do people feel about digital dials?

That sounds as dumb as replacing tactile knobs and switched to control the functions of a car with a touch screen.
I've decided to go for the Tamron 28-200 - just can't decide to go to E-Infinity for £599 or my friendly local LCE for £780....
(Don't want to get into the UK v Grey argument as there are plenty of other threads about that)
Mind you it isnt in stock at E-Infinity yet...

I've just been called an idiot for getting too obsessed with noise at a pixel peeping level. (by a close friend and constructively ). Do you feel the noise in my photo is at an acceptable level viewed normally, as in not zoomed in?

Bit too much noise for me also. With images like this I tend to brush in NR for the background and leave the bird untouched or brush in a smaller amount of NR.I've just been called an idiot for getting too obsessed with noise at a pixel peeping level.
