Purchased on sony a 6500 instead of 18-105 with zoom. The task was to get a more artistic and sharper picture on the reportage video than on 18105. As a result, a little lighter, a little sharper, a little more beautiful picture, a little wider, but there is no direct wow effect. Plus, the zoom ring rubs against something in some places. Slightly annoying. If there was a choice initially what to take, yes, I probably would have taken a tamron, solely because it is lighter. And so awed for soap, easy tuning of the picture for 69 thousand.
