Tamron G2 vs Sony GM II: The Truth for Everyday Shooters

I recently sold my Tamron G2 lenses to upgrade to the Sony G Master II lineup for my FX3 and A7CR. While the Tamron 28-75mm and 16-30mm are incredible budget-friendly options, I found myself fighting minor annoyances, like the swapped zoom rings and lack of aperture rings. In this video, I break down exactly why I made the switch, comparing the focal lengths, handling, stabilization, and focus breathing for simple, real-world, handheld shooting (no lab tests). I also share some tips on finding used gear for great prices.
