    • Very good all around lens
There are many well done professional reviews of this lens on YouTube and elsewhere- this is just from an amateur user’s perspective. I got an a6000 a couple of years ago. It’s the first camera I’ve used in manual or different priority modes. I’ve learned all of what I know about photography with this camera and am pretty competent with it at this point. Early on I realized the image quality from the kit lens wasn’t great and I started searching for lens upgrades. First purchase was the Sony 50 f1.8 and it’s noticeably much better in terms of sharpness and bokeh. It was a learning process though, and it was through experience with the 50 1.8 that I came to understand the crop factor of apsc format and that the 50 was more like a 75mm equivalent. Too tight for anything indoors where I was doing a lot of family (mostly little kid) photography. After some more research I found the “Sigma trio” and over the course of a year a year I picked up the 30 1.4 and the 16 1.4. I pretty much used the 30 for everything outside- hiking, sight seeing etc and the 16 for all the birthday parties and kid stuff inside. I also splurged and got the 70-350 Sony telephoto for birds and wildlife in general. Also got the Rokinon 12mm. With this collection of some of the better Sony apsc lenses I was pretty well covered for all situations I encountered and was perfectly satisfied. Until I kept reading more about the the Sony 16-55. It seemed to cover the range of several of my lenses which I often switched between and had equivalent optical performance. But it is so expensive.. so I held off. And fortunately this Tamron came out. It covers a larger range and was well reviewed early on. For $500 less than the Sony I cashed in all the gift cards and credits I had and picked it up. I’ve found it to be a very convenient and good quality all purpose lens for 60-80% of the pictures I take. It will definitely be the go to for hiking and casual outdoor and sightseeing sort of stuff. It’s sharp, focuses really well, and is easy to use well. I have noticed the loss of f stops from the Sigmas (1.4 vs 2.8) for low light and less bokeh, but it’s really good overall and no regrets about the purchase. There are times when I still use the Sigmas and I’ll hang on to them but I’ll probably part with the Sony 50 at some point. I haven’t touched it in a couple months. Overall happy with the lens and would recommend to anyone with similar usage as me- casual family shooter, some outdoor stuff, just a good quality general use lens that produces really good results. And this in on an a6000- I understand the autofocus is better on the newer a6xxx bodies and I’m excited to see the difference when I eventually get one. (This photo hobby, as I’m sure everyone reading these reviews knows, can be a slippery financial slope, but no buyers remorse with this lens). ... show more

    • Great Lens for the Sony FX30
★★★★★ I recently purchased this lens for my Sony FX30, and I am extremely impressed with its performance. The image quality is sharp and clear, even in low-light conditions. The autofocus is quick and accurate, making it perfect for both photography and videography. The build quality feels robust and durable, yet it remains lightweight enough for easy handling. Overall, this lens has significantly enhanced my shooting experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their gears. ... show more

    • Excellent lens, but the stabilization is not up to par on my Sony FX 30.
I hope Tamron will update the firmware on these lenses to work better with the internal image stabilization within Sony Cameras. If they would do that, this lens would easily be a 10/10 recommend. Everything else about this lens is phenomenal. The autofocus is excellent, the image quality is excellent and the build quality is adequate. ... show more

    • One of the best Sony APSC lenses

This is a great lens! It's light, has stabilization (which is a must for every Sony APSC camera) and takes sharp photos. All the photos I shot are unedited and straight out of the a6300 with the Tamron 17-70mm in Aperture Priority. This lens worked really well when I needed to get close shots of an actor when I was granted a media pass to a travel show in Dallas. I was able to keep my distance and allow the actor to meet with his fans but still able to get some intimate shots of them interacting. The zoom range is perfect for really close and wide shots, and zoomed out shots with nice bokeh with a portrait look. I've yet to try it on the street but I'm sure it will work great. If you want this lens, watch for a price drop now and then. I sat on the fence when it was at $599 and then it went back to $699. A few weeks later it dropped to $599 and I snatched it up. For that price it was a no-brainer and I don't regret adding this to my lens collection. I have it all covered now with my 16mm prime, Tamron 17-70mm and the Tamron 70-300mm. ... show more

    • Absolutely Fantastic Do-It-All Lens For Sony E-Mount
Previously, I had the Sony 18-105mm and a Sigma 16mm and a Sigma 56mm. The advantages of the Sony are that the zooming in and out with the powered zoom can be smoother for video, the fact that the lens never increases in length can be better for balancing on a gimbal, and then you got the optical stabilization. But the Tamron is just so much sharper that I was willing to give up all those other features of the Sony. The Sigmas are still sharper than the Tamron, but only barely so. This is a solid all-around lens to simply put on your camera, and forget about it. No need to carry around other lenses in your bag or backpack. ... show more
