My wife uses this on her a6500. We’ve been very pleased with the results. We’ve used this on the 2 most recent weddings we’ve shot.

I have found it to be as sharp as the Sony 24-70 in the center, but a little soft out on the edges. The edge doesn't matter to me, though, since I mostly shoot portraits.

I use my Tamron 28-75 as my walk-around lens. It may be the best lens that I have owned. I was so impressed with this lens that I recently purchased the Tamron 18-35 wide-angle. I waiting on the new 70-180 f2.8 which is coming soon. As you can see, I think Tamron lenses are great. They are much lighter than the Sony lenses and cost have as much. I forgot to mention that I own a Sony a7r2.

Thanks, I’m looking forward to trying one out

I can't speak to the Sony version, but do have the Canon version of it, and have been very impressed with it's overall performance

Thanks, I had a canon 24-70 2.8L but switched to Sony. The canon was BIG and heavy, not a good balance for my a6500. Loved that lens, its a great one!

I have the Tamron-badged Pentax FA version and use it on a full-frame K1. I think it is a generation behind the new Sony E version. It is terrific. Not quite as good on the edges at F/2.8 as my wife's Canon 24-70 (used on an R and a 6D) and not as fast-focusing (the FA uses the camera's motor). But smaller, lighter, cheaper. I don't see a difference even at F/4 but the Pentax has more pixels to start with. Both are contrasty, low flare.
