If you are looking at performance charts and stuffs. This is not a perfect lens however at $700, you can beat this lens. For most walk around situation, this lens is very sharp. Crowded places like Las Vegas Bellagio, this len is really shine. I know people complain about it does not reach further however there would be compromises for anything. In the perfect world, would you want a 16-200 lens? However there are no practical reasons for such lens and it would massive.If you want a walk around lens, go for it.

I preordered this lens as soon as it was listed because IMO it's a near perfect focal range for a walkaround lens (would've been even better if it went to 50mm, but now I see why they didn't). The price, size/weight, and f/2.8 aperture made it almost a no-brainer, especially paired with my 70-180 f/2.8 as a lightweight do almost everything kit. After a few weeks with it, here are my observations:Size and build:This is very compact for a full frame f/2.8 zoom. It's slightly smaller than the Sony 24mm f/1.4 GM, but bigger than the Sony 20mm f/1.8 G. The 67mm filter thread is great because it can share filters with so many E-mount lenses, both Tamron and Sony. It's all plastic, but I know from experience that paper-thin aluminum doesn't provide any more protection ... MoreI preordered this lens as soon as it was listed because IMO it's a near perfect focal range for a walkaround lens (would've been even better if it went to 50mm, but now I see why they didn't).

The 67mm filter thread is great because it can share filters with so many E-mount lenses, both Tamron and Sony. It's all plastic, but I know from experience that paper-thin aluminum doesn't provide any more protection than good quality plastic, so it's fine by me. I did notice when I first put it on that there was quite a bit of resistance trying to lock the bayonet, which I assume was due to the weather sealing gasket. It loosened up a bit after several mounting cycles.Sharpness:Center sharpness is excellent right from f/2.8 at all focal lengths, nothing to worry about there. As for the corners, I can tell it was optimized for performance at the wide end at the expense of the long end.At 20mm, the corners are very good right from f/2.8, and by f/5.6 they are excellent, almost as good as the center. At 20mm I have no reservations about using it at any aperture anywhere in the frame.However, at 40mm and f/2.8 the corners are well... not good (which is why I see why they didn't push it to 50mm). I was going to say they are straight up bad, but I suspect there is some issue with field curvature when focused at or near infinity in the center. They improved a bit if I focused in the corners, though still not great. It takes until about f/8 for the corners to get to what I would call very good.Flare:Flare resistance is pretty good. It's there if the sun is in the frame, but it's generally pretty low contrast, so you're often not going to even notice it unless it's on top of a very dark background. Below f/5.6 it's almost invisible, and gradually gets more prominent the more you step down.Aberrations:There is some chromatic aberration and distortion, but that's very easily fixed in post (especially with Lightroom profiles) so nothing to worry about. There is a fair bit of vignetting, even stopped down, but that's about par for the course for fast, wide, full frame zooms. If you want to try to use it for astrophotography, the coma seems pretty low, definitely above average performance there.Starbursts (a.k.a. sunstars):In an age where it seem every lens gets rounded aperture blades (seriously, who cares about round bokeh at wide angles?) that create blurry, messy starbursts, I was pleasantly surprised with this lens. Since switching from Pentax APS-C a long time ago, I've longed for a lens that could produce starbursts as easily as the legendary SMC DA 15mm Limited (not the later HD version that added rounded blades). This lens doesn't quite reach the heights of that monster, but definitely well above most other lenses. You already get decent ones at f/8, and they get really prominent at f/11. By f/16 diffraction starts to diverge the points, so f/11 is the peak IMO.Conclusion:Given the full frame range of moderate ultra-wide to normal, the f/2.8 constant aperture, the very compact size and weight, and the fantastic image quality at 20mm, all for just $700, this a highly recommended lens. However, the problematic corners at 40mm really aren't something that can be just ignored, so I can't give it a perfect score. I'd give it a 4.5/5 if I could.

The 29-40 extra range is much more useful than 17-19 if you are walking about with a single lens.

My order showed up quickly, which surprised me because I ordered it around Christmas, plus we were hit with a blizzard. I was so eager to receive this lens. An experienced videographer suggested three lenses to me at different price points. I am a novice/ beginner with a Sony A7 R II. While still a little pricey, but not as expensive as the other suggestions, I went for this lens. I am so glad I did! It is super fast with my Sony. I am playing with both MF and AF and am very impressed by what this lens is capable of doing, especially for the price. Plus, once I finally put my footage in Premiere Pro, it was so crispy! This lens has me excited to shoot and I can't wait to try new things. I will learn a lot, and gain experience on this lens. I'm hoping I won't need ... MoreMy order showed up quickly, which surprised me because I ordered it around Christmas, plus we were hit with a blizzard. I was so eager to receive this lens.

I typically shoot with a super telephoto, but got this lens to accommodate those times when I want to capture a stunning vista and my 100-400mm just won't cut it. WIth that said, I've used this very little as of yet but I'm very happy with the results so far and will continue to evaluate its capabilities in the near future. This lens has a short zoom span, but just enough to feel and perform like a prime which is what I want. Prior to buy it, I expected that my new smart phone would serve as a good stand-in for a wide angle, but the phone hasn't lived up to the hype and therefore my need for a real wide angle.
Just what I was looking for. Sharp and fast, lite and small. Feels great on the Full frame Sony, the color rendition is very nice, the almost macro feature is also great for flowers and other closeup interests. The range fits my interest of intimate (close-in) landscapes, 20mm at its widest so that everything doesn't get pushed back far from view, then up to 40mm so I don't have to change lenses as soon as I get past 28mm, very nice focal range balance. Highly recommended.
In my opinion this is the perfect lens for my Sony FX3 camera for wedding gimbal work. I was never a fan of the 16mm look so having 20 to 40mm is a game changer for me. Quality of this lens is good. If you are looking for a lens with some kind of character or look this is not the lens for you. The image is simple. AF is good enough for my work and the weight of the lens is perfect. Again for my kind of work I think this lens is perfect.
I use it to shoot indoor event work especially hand held for parties where there isn't much room. Also a perfect lens for gimbal work, doesn't extend far and gives flexibility of a zoom instead of a prime. If you want to shoot interiors at 4k 60 most cameras crop 1.5 making the 20mm essential (30mm).Very light weight small and compact and a joy to use. Could see myself bringing this on vacation. AF is good. The optics probably aren't extraordinary but get the job done with 2.8 constant aperture is a big step up from a kit lens.
This lens reminds of old Canon 20-35mm f/2.8 L...that wide angle zoom that I owned back in 90's. Optically, Tamron is superior and it costs way less. This lens is jack of all trades and master of some. For me, short close focusing distance is a massive plus. If you can get really close to your subject, you will be rewarded with fantastic bokeh!Focal range is so useful for many shooting situations. If you are wider range person, this lens might be a perfect fit. It covers 21mm, 24mm, 28mm, 35mm and 40mm and that alone is pure gold. The picture quality is surprisingly good considering the price. from 20mm to 35mm, sharpness and contrast @2.8 is very good...it falls just slightly at 40mm but still very usable.Overall, I can easily give this lens 5 stars because it ... MoreThis lens reminds of old Canon 20-35mm f/2.8 L...that wide angle zoom that I owned back in 90's.

I really like this lens for its small size, very useful focal range and being f/2.8The lens is very good optically, except for corner softness at the wide end, which mostly goes away by f/5.6. The focusing is fast and precise. The rings are butter smooth, which can be rotated with a little finger and the lens extends just 10mm or so. In that regard I didn't like the new Sony 20-70/4, because the zoom ring feels stiff, like plastic rubbing plastic with some stickiness at the wide end, and that lens also extending a lot. The tactile experience with Tamron is great.This lens despite such wide angle has pretty low distortions, you don't even need a software profile for it. Vignetting is somewhat heavy, but not difficult to correct.

If you are shooting at 16:9 aspect ratio, those dark corners will be mostly cut off.Being f/2.8 means I can use this lens indoors in many situations and due to its size/weigh it can travel with me anywhere. If you like 20-40mm range this is a great lens to have.I also tested this lens on Megadap adapter on Nikon Z6ii. The bad part is that the mounting is very stiff, which is common for Tamron lenses. The good part, the lens works perfectly, and focusing is very quick and precise.
