I reckon that the Tamron designers had some fun during the design of the lens. Unlike with the Tamron AF 28-75mm f/2.8 SP XR they were not so much restricted by pricing concerns and the positive effect on the results is obvious - the Tamron AF 24-70mm f/2.8 SP Di USD VC is an impressive lens.
At around 30% cheaper than the price of the Canon and Nikon alternatives, the Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD is an affordable alternative to the OEM offerings, plus it offers the added benefit of an effective image stabilisation system.
A popular lens choice for full-frame camera users is the 24-70mm f/2.8 optic, because its range covers general use and the fast aperture is constant throughout the entire focal range. Indeed, most camera retailers recommend it as the lens to buy with a full-frame camera as part of a kit.
The price is enormous high for the qualilty of images. I compared this lens with my old cheap soligor 3,5-4,5/28-70. Contures of the old one are real sharp in the corners and CA's are very low, but not this lens. I regret:: this is a p o r t r a i t lens.
at such a high price I expect high sharpness still with open lens up to the corners of image; But even with f 4,5 you get not real sharp corners on 28mm; Like the concurring product of Sigma double contures in the corners and too much CA's.
nice colors,quite good sharpnes in the center; high contrast
