The Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD is distinguished by being the first fast standard zoom for full frame cameras to include optical image stabilization. The fact that it does so in a design that includes a ring-type ultrasonic motor for fast, silent autofocus and a degree of weathersealing...

Extremely good optics; Highly effective image stabilization; Silent; accurate focusing; Impressive flare resistance; Very good build quality including sealing; Competitive price compared to camera manufacturers' equivalents

Unpleasant vignetting at F2.8 on full frame at the telephoto end; Slightly less-fast autofocus than Canon or Nikon equivalents (but far from slow; AF and VC switches rather stiff; difficult to change quickly

More like an iPhone 13S. The generational upgrades for the iPhone 14 are limited to a few subtle changes. At the same time, however, the base price climbs to 800 USD, while the only true innovation happens inside the iPhone 14 Pro series.

This is a fantastic lens & I'm generally a canon L lens type of a guy. That been said I believe in using the best tool that gets the job done.Build quality is really solid & the addition of VC is great, it's f2.8 constant aperture on Full Frame & it's the only on in the world to date with...

VC works great Silent operation High quality finish Good weight; balances well on 5d Mk11 Amazing image quality

Slight Vignetting Canon didn't make it first ;

Handling and Features Performance Verdict Specification This highly anticipated lens from Tamron covers the popular 24-70mm range with a fast constant aperture of f/2.8. It is one of Tamron's 'SP' lenses, which denotes that it should be able to produce professional quality results.

Good sharpness throughout the range in the centre; Effective Vibration Compensation system; Good value; Good build quality; Moisture resistant construction; Low distortion

Strong falloff of illumination towards the corners at maximum aperture; Drop in contrast at maximum aperture

Tamron's latest zoom lens covers the popular 24-70mm focal length span with a fast maximum aperture that remains at f/2.8 throughout the range. The SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD is designed primarily for cameras with 36 x 24 mm sensors but, being a 'Di' lens, it is usable with APS-C camera bodies.

I saw this lens reviewed and advertised and it seems to be the only alternative to the Nikon 24-70 f 2.8. I really want/need VC (VR), but I doubted that the Tamron optical quality would be acceptable. Up till now, I have only bought Canon or Nikon lenses (not including my view camera lenses).

Simply Better than the Nikon 24-70 f2.8 and much less expensive; Better center sharpness, better corner sharpness, better resistance to flare, better micro-contrast, better color, and of course it has VC as a bonus

Image quality unacceptable in corners, needs to be better; I need better image quality, even if I have to pay more to get it; Bokeh can be objectionable in some situations

At a good price point, the Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 Lens seems like a great choice for travel, street, wedding , and even landscape photography. The image quality is superior, and the focus speed and accuracy is spot on.

Bought this Ripper Lens this morning and was shooting this afternoon at my kids sports event. I'm very happy with my choice of lens. After deliberating and watching many comparisons I just had to get this lens for the special price CD's had it at with the 2yr warranty.

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.

Nowhere on the website does it say it's a grey import. do not expect proper warranty cover!
