The Tamron 12-20mm f/2.8 gives Sony and Nikon shooters one of the widest autofocus zooms in its class at a mid-tier price. Its biggest strength is the mix of 12mm reach, 570-gram weight, and a $1,699 sticker.
My recommendation is simple. If you film yourself, travel light, and want telephoto reach in your pocket, buy the Luna Ultra with confidence.
The Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 suits APS-C shooters who want one lens for travel, family, and everyday work.
No other screenless camera at this price overlays live exposure data on a window you look through.

The Canon EOS R10 is the best value in APS-C mirrorless for photographers who prioritize autofocus performance and burst speed. No other camera under $1,000 offers this combination of R3-level subject tracking, 23fps burst shooting, and Canon’s color science.
The Canon EOS R8 is a brilliant camera for photographers who value portability and refuse to compromise on image quality. It delivers full-frame performance at a price point that would have seemed impossible five years ago.
For Canon RF system shooters who need a fast standard zoom with IS, this remains the reference lens in the category. If you prefer a lighter option and shoot Sony or Nikon, the Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II and Nikon Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S are strong alternatives.
