Tamron made waves a few years ago with its 28-75mm f/2.8 lens for Sony full frame cameras. Now there’s an APS-C version and it might make the equivalent Sony lens look massively overpriced. How good is the Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 for Sony crop-sensor cameras? Tamron announced the its new 17-70mm f/2.8 late last year and those lucky enough to get their hands on it seem to be very impressed. In this detailed video, Arthur R puts it head-to-head with Sony’s own APS-C workhorse, the 16-55mm f/2.8 G. At $1,298, the Sony is dramatically more expensive than the Tamron which costs a mere $799.
