Sony fe 24 105mm f 4 g oss vs tamron 35 100mm f 2 8 di iii vxd?

Both are full-frame zooms for Sony E, but they suit different jobs.

The Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS is my pick for an all-rounder. It goes from wide scenes to short telephoto, and its optical stabilisation helps when the light drops. The f/4 maximum is slower, so backgrounds won't blur as much.

The Tamron 35-100mm f/2.8 Di III VXD is built for portraits and events. The f/2.8 aperture gives you more light and softer backgrounds, and it weighs 565 grams. It isn't stabilised, and it starts at 35mm, so it won't go wide.

If you shoot a bit of everything, get the Sony. If you mostly shoot people or events, the Tamron is the better tool. For more on how aperture affects this choice, see Lenses.
