Sony vario tessar t e 16 70mm f 4 za oss vs tamron 17 70mm f 2 8?

I don't have a page on the Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8, so I can't compare the two fairly here. What I can tell you about the Sony Vario-Tessar T* E 16-70mm f/4 ZA OSS is that it's made for APS-C, it's stabilised, it has autofocus, and on APS-C it frames roughly like a 24-105mm on full frame. Its f/4 aperture keeps it lighter and cheaper than f/2.8 zooms, which matters less for landscapes, where you'll usually stop down to f/8 or f/11 anyway (Landscape). If you shoot in low light or want more background blur, the f/2.8 zoom deserves a close look. The lenses guide also explains when a fast standard prime is worth adding alongside a zoom.
