DPRTV posted its review/comparison of the Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8 Di III-A RXD vs Sony E 10-18mm f/4 OSS. Below is a summary of the video above:
- Fells the same as other Tamron zooms
- Lightweight only about 335g or 0.74lbs
- 67mm filter just like the other Tamron lenses for E-mount
- Weather-resistant
- Consistent build quality in their lineup
- Would have been nice to have an AF/MF switch
- No IBIS
- Autofocus is very good
- Some breathing during manual focus
- Almost not LoCA and the lens is overall very well controlled
- Great macro ability on paper 1:4 at 11mm but focusing minimum focus distance is about 6 inches
- Macro is very usable at 20mm with better corners etc
- Flare is well controlled
- Sun stars arent very beautiful
- Ghosting when stopping down too far
- Bokeh has a good out of focus transition
- Very sharp wide open at all focal lengths but the corners can be a little soft and the corners improve at f/5.6
- You will like this lens even at 11mm wide open
- Another great lens from Tamron
- The Sony only adds optical stabilization, but it isn’t needed
- DPRTV hopes all of Tamron’s APS-C lenses come to X-mount in the future
