The Tamron lens, with an f2.8 constant maximum aperture, is in the category of "standard" zoom for a full frame DSLR. It can be used on a reduced sensor APS camera, where the focal lengths then become 36–105mm.

A fast, sharp, image-stablized 24–70mm zoom lens is just what serious photographers have been crying out for but so far the major camera manufacturers have not answered their pleas.

Sharp; Image-stabilized; Well built; Dependable

Rear focus ring hinders; steadiness

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.

The difference between a "constant" aperture zoom and other standard zooms is that when you increase the focal length on the standard zoom the maximum aperture narrows. This might make the difference between being able to hand hold or not when zooming in, and may indeed force the use of higher ISOs.

This Lens isn't light but what do you expect from a 2.8 right Lens arrived super fast which was great and compliments my D610 very well. The picture quality from this lens is fantastic, I saw videos on youtube comparing this to the nikon, I was a little skeptical but now seeing it in action its...

Playing with light, capture a subtle world of beauty. A high-speed standard zoom lens featuring built-in Vibration Compensation.

If you had the breath to read our review until here, you might be thinking that the Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 isn't worth it. That is not our conclusion, though. As mentioned above, fast standard zoom lenses are difficult to design and they always come with some compromises.

I was skeptical at first. Could a third-party lens actually match the name brands, at THE focal length for which the name brands are best known for making reliable, snappy-to-focus, nearly-indestructible, lens?

The ‘Generation 2’ edition of Tamron’s 24-70mm f/2.8 is a major improvement...
