    • 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

    • Good range - Perfect budget lens
Review Image by Nathan Nathan
I have been using this Tamron on my Fx30 rig for a couple months now and its been wonderful! While I first used a 24-70, I was seeking to use a lens that was a bit wider, however, I didn't want to switch lens on the go. This 17-70 is perfect for my work in weddings and conferences. I have even used this for some interesting shots in real estate. If you're looking for a flexible, budget, and solid lens for your APSC camera, you can not go wrong with this. Its clean, sharp, decently light, all for a good price. Try this lens! ... show more

    • More than decent
I’ll start by saying I shoot JPG only currently. I haven’t put it through any real trials but so far so good. It takes sharp photos and the autofocus is quick in my experience. I prefer this over Sigma’s 18-50 for the added range and equal image quality. All this being said, this Tamron has an almost cheap feel to it. I don’t get bothered by plastic lenses but this lens does not have the premium plastic feel I get from Sony or even Sigma. Not a deal breaker and I’m not gonna sweat it until I have a reason to, just something to know. Also, I can feel the autofocus components moving around when handling the lens. Multiple reviews and reddit posts have assured me this is nothing to worry about. Just know that these are the areas Tamron chose in order to keep the costs down. I still think this is by far the best option for f/2.8 constant zoom lenses available for Sony’s APS-C ecosystem. ... show more

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
