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!

After one year of regular usage the wide rubber band, the one you spin to zoom, stretched and became loose and now moves along the lens so I need to pull it back, where it should be, every 30 min. It does not affect good image quality but I would never buy a Tamron lens again.

Simply put, you won't find a better 24-70 on the Nikon side for this little. Sigma may have theirs, but the image stabilization isn't NEARLY as effective.

Great sharp lens. I bought it because it was cheaper than the Nikon equivalent, but this also has VC which no other 24-70mm has on the market.

Im very surprised with the quality of this lens, im using this lens for video and is awesome!! very Robust, excellent build quality, the image quality is great!! super sharp and bright.

This Tamron lens is more than suitable as an alternative to Canon's flagship 24-70 f/2.8 II. The lens is solid, well built, tack sharp, and has the benefit of IS! Images produced have wonderful color and clarity.

Wonderful color; Tack sharp; Nice Solid Build

Zoom ring a little stiff

I took an egg away for the somewhat slow AF and lower image quality (Compared to the Canon). Don't get me wrong though: If you use stabilization a lot this is an excellent choice and bargain! The image quality honestly is quite good (just not as good as the Canon).

Vibration Compensation works great Fast 2.8 Accurate Auto-Focus (on my Canon T3i

Not as good image quality as the Canon 24-70 2.8L II (but close; I think it is at least as good as the Mark I) Auto-Focus seems slow, and not accurate good in AI Servo $1000 or so less than the Canon
