I have choosen the Tamron 70-200/2.8 VC because at my workplace we use the same and I was impressed by its performance and durability. We use it as workhorse and its still working- but the zoom rings rubber got expanded so its not wheater sealed for now and not very sexy.
Pros:
- Pretty fast and accurate AF
- good built quality
- very nice iq
- damn good stabilization
- not that pricey
Cons:
- Built quality not as good as Canon 70-200/2.8 also the AF slower (not significantly)
- zoom ring and mf ring reversed
- hard to use with reversed hood

Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 Di VC USD SP
Just got this beauty, and man is it made like a tank, less weighty and almost the same length as the latest canon 70-200 f2.8 IS II). Sharpness is excellent, and better than my old Canon 70-200 f2.8 IS (the original). High contrast images and very fast focusing. Creamy bokeh.
Pros:
- excellent performance
- high quality build,super VC
- great price
Cons:
- heavy

Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 Di VC USD SP
For shooters on a budget and who aren't able to invest $2,000 on a professional 70-200mm lens, Tamron presents a solid, affordable option. There are definitely concessions to be made here, primarily in sharpness at the ƒ/2.8 setting, where the lens will probably spend most of its time.

Great lens
Images are very sharp! I use this lens on my Nikon D7100 and the two work perfectly together as a couple. The autofocus of this lens is of decent speed and the zooming is very smooth.

A Very Solid Competitor to Canon L
I bought this lens to replace the 70-200mm f/4l Canon I had. I am kicking myself for NOT doing it sooner!! Honestly, I should have just saved and bought this first. It is a solid solid lens no joke. The color is amazing, it's razor sharp, killer in low light, and just does what it's supposed to.
Pros:
- Razor Sharp
- Superb Color
- Has VC
- Affordable
- and a 6yr Warranty too
Cons:
- Not a single one

The wide f/2.8 aperture and built-in image stabilisation make this lens one to consider if you regularly shoot in low-light conditions, and it's significantly cheaper than equivalent rivals from Canon, Nikon and Sony.

EUROPEAN ZOOM LENS
This fast F2.8 telephoto zoom lens for full-frame SLRs delivers very good image quality and remarkably consistent resolution. The VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabiliser effectively compensates for camera shake in the Canon and Nikon versions of the lens.
