A great lens. Super fast auto-focus. Congratulations to Tamron for making such a quality product.I would recommend this lens for all level of users.

So it focus breathes more than the Nikon 70-200 2.8E FL ED and it can has a vignette starting around f4 down to 2.8. Vignette is fixed with lens profile correction in post. Focus and VC / VR for Nikon work great but I'm not sports shooter so maybe I'm not working it hard enough. Build is terrific.

I always dreamed of owning a Nikon 70-200 2.8, but the high cost kept me from making the purchase. After reading the reviews on the Tamron version of this lens, I decided to take a chance on it. I was not disappointed. This is a solid professional grade lens.

Fast / accurate auto-focus; Great in Low Light; Nice Bokeh; Strong Construction; Very Sharp

None so far

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.

An lens with exceptional optical quality is super sharp at 2.8. Focus is almost instant and without noise. Very good in low light. Colours are very good with a good contrast.VC does its job very well.

After reading reviews I took the plunge. Haven't regretted it for one minute

Great Picture Quality; Simple Controls

Tamron has updated its popular 70-200mm zoom lens with the addition of VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilisation and an USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) autofocusing mechanism.

This lens is of superb built quality both physically and optically. I agree that the focusing is not as fast as the Nikon 70-200 VRII lens, but considering almost half the price, this is pretty decent. The image quality is great. The VC works almost as good as the Nikon lens.

I've read many reviews on this amazing lens for over a year now. Last Christmas,(2015), I decided to finally give myself a present! (I do have it's baby brother the 24-70 2.8, another fine lens. At first I wasn't too happy with the focussing, it seemed a bit hit and miss.

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.

Razor Sharp; Superb Color; Has VC; Affordable; and a 6yr Warranty too
