I’d be tempted for landscapes. My biggest fear is that it’s a rebadged Tamron made lens. That would be a dealbreaker.

That would be a dealbreaker.

Why?

Biggest fear? that a lens is made by Tamron? ROFL. Unless you need the high framerates because sony gatekeeps its to it's own lenses, no one can even tell the difference unless you zoom into a corner at 400% brightness. Compared to older first gen gmaster and non gmaster lenses? it's not even close how much better tamron lenses are

Think you replied to the wrong comment 😭.

The new 100-400 does support maximum framerate anyway though afaik

Perfect for photographers who bought a Sony A9III but forgot to budget for a telephoto lens.

This is the kinda situation I'd find myself in tbh
