The Tamron SP 24–70mm f/2.8 Di VC lens is a fast lens designed to work with full-frame cameras (but it will work with smaller sensors, too). It's available for Canon, Nikon, and Sony; however, the Sony version doesn't include vibration compensation (VC) because Sony DSLRs already have that feature...

Image quality; VC; price

Very slight vignetting and barrel distortion

This is one of the best standard zoom lens that every serious full frame DSLR owner should have. And if you already have a full frame body, you should be a serious photographer. This is the most used zoom range for landscapes, indoors and parties.

Consistent Output; Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Nice Bokeh

Heavy

This lens is best for portrait type pictures. I took great pictures at a flower show.

Consistent Output; Fast / accurate auto-focus

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.

yes, at the price it is being offered it is cheaper here than it is even in the US. so thats a great buy

Got a good deal because of the disount

As the only 24-70mm f/2.8 currently on the market that has image stabilization (VC as Tamron calls it, or VR in Nikon parlance) this lens is a no-brainer as the best choice for DSLR video. Value is unmatched compared to Nikon's version which is $500 more expensive WITHOUT image stabilization.

Bought this lens instead of the Nikon 24-70 because it has VC and it's less expensive while still being made in Japan. Optically excellent performance, build quality is very good but the switches feel kinda cheap. I also own the Tamron 15-30 VC and I'm very happy with my purchases!

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

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

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 ;
