The trio of divine zoom lenses commonly considered to be the ultra-wide-angle zoom (like 14-24mm f/2.8), standard zoom (24-70mm f/2.8) and telephoto zoom (70-200mm f/2.8), are placed. They are so named because they can competently handle most situations a photographer will encounter. However, since that term was coined many years ago, the market for lenses and cameras has changed dramatically. Is there a new and better divine zoom trio? This amazing video makes a case for one.
Coming to you from Stefan MallochThis interesting video discusses the “divine trio” of Tamron zoom lenses, 20-40mm f/2.8 Di III VXD, 35-150mm f/2-2.8 Di III VXD, 50-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III VC VXD. This is without a doubt a completely different setup from the traditional f/2.8 trio, but it has many advantages. Although you lose a bit on the wide end, you can double the reach at the long end, and while the 50-400mm lens has a narrower set of apertures, with autofocus and high ISO With the advancement of modern cameras, that’s not as big of a deal as it used to be. It’s also worth considering that the Tamron trio is significantly cheaper than a traditional trio from a first-party manufacturer. Check out the video above for Malloch’s full thoughts.
