Hi everyone ! I am trying to decide what combination is best for my sony a7r2 : Sony 24-240mm FE f3.5-6.3 lens Tamron 28-300mm f3.5-6.3 lens with adapter So I bought those two off amazon and plan to return the one I won't use. I took the Tamron sony mount with the LA-EA4 adapter from A-mount to E-mount. I have a few questions regarding those lens. Is it better to own the Tamron sony mount using the LA-e3 adapter or go for Tamron canon mount with a metabones ? I am asking that because there is a mirror in the LA-EA4 adapter that makes a lot of noise when turning the camera on and off (focus phase detection ??) Is the quality of Tamron glass different for different mount ? canon vs nikon vs sony ? Because the lens have different sizes with the sony one being the smallest one. Do you know any ressource that compare the sony 24-240mm vs tamron 28-300mm in terms of sharpness ? The focus ring do not activate the magnification helper on the Tamron. Is it normal ? Why the sony 24-240mm is significantly bigger and wider than the Tamron ? Why the 300mm focal on the Tamron seems to offer the same framing as the 240mm focal on the Sony ? Shouldn't the Tamron zoom farther ?? I would like to know if there is a difference between LA-EA4 with Tamron sony A-mount and Tamron Canon mount with metabones (or viltrox) which I like because it doesn't add supplementary mirrors or glass and is less bulky. Thank you for helping me decide which one to keep and what combo is the best.

I am of the firm belief that there is no such thing as 'good weather' for taking a photograph. Even a grey day with drizzle offers an opportunity to capture an interesting image. This was captured with Sony's FE24240. A great choice as a walkabout lens when you don't really want to be changing lenses when it is raining :-)
