Hey everyone, for today's review we're going to be checking out the new Tamron 16-30mm f2.8 Di III VXD G2. This is an ultra wide zoom lens available for both E mount and Z mount, I'll be using it on the Sony A7IV and Sony A9III in today's review testing it out for both photo and video. In this review we're be checking out image quality, I have plenty of unedited, 100% crop example images for you to see the quality. I have autofocus tests, videos tests, focus breathing and focus while zooming tests as well. Let me know what you think of the lens in the comments!
