Review: Aldi prices, Waitrose quality - For the price that this lens is - it's not something to be ignored! I've been using this lens professionally for videography for the past year, and it's an absolute workhorse. The autofocus is exceptional, even though I mostly use manual focus - which is also brilliantly smooth! I would say, it's not the BEST at anything particularly, but how good it is overall overshadows it's downfalls. It's a staple in my camera bag, and if I needed a single lens, this is what I'd pick. Obviously, there are other brands that might be better quality, but you won't get it for anything near to this price!
Review: Still my go to travel lens - This is a fantastic lens after a year and a half it is still my go-to travel lens. Compared to another more expensive lens that has an f2.8 aperture this is light haha. The lens is versatile and can be used as a wide b-roll lens. If you want a good reasonably priced zoom lens to fit your aspc camera this is a good option.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Aldi prices, Waitrose quality

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Still my go to travel lens
*by A***G on 6 April 2025*

This is a fantastic lens after a year and a half it is still my go-to travel lens. Compared to another more expensive lens that has an f2.8 aperture this is light haha. The lens is versatile and can be used as a wide b-roll lens. If you want a good reasonably priced zoom lens to fit your aspc camera this is a good option.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sharp, versatile lens. Front heavy on a Sony A6400.
*by T***B on 27 January 2026*

I have been using this lens with my Sony A6400 for almost 2 years and it has been amazing. Excellent sharpness from 17-50mm with a slight sharpness reduction nearer the 70mm end. Minimal distortion and I haven't needed lens corrections most of the time. Autofocus is silent and very fast, as if it were a Sony lens. Vibration Control works very well for stills allowing shutter speeds as low as 1/10s (with stable hands). However for video it is not as effective. Zoom range is very versatile and I feel this lens helped me understand my preferred focal lengths and style. It can do just about anything you throw at it. Build quality is similar to other Tamron lenses and the focus and zoom rings feel smooth and controlled. Great value for money especially compared to the Sony (much more expensive) and Sigma (20mm less reach + no VC) equivalents. I would say the main selling point of this lens for me is the versatility. At an equivalent 25.5-105mm, it can be used for most types of photography. I have used it for: landscape, automotive, event, portrait, product, astro and more. The f2.8 aperture throughout the zoom range is very helpful. My biggest issue with this lens is the weight and size relative to the small Sony A6400 body. It is quite uncomfortable to hold in one hand for long periods of time. If you were to use a capture clip system or mainly use tripods I’m sure this would not be as much of an issue.
