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

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

Not a single one

Technology is catching up with the big performers. Apple is no longer better than Android, Nikon is no longer the big fish in the sea, Tamron has stepped up their game with this lens, in an attempt to turn heads from Nikon 70-200, and it is turning heads, and for good reasons.

These are great lens. I´ve bought used but in mint condition item from Japan and I am really satisfied. Used about month and taken ca 2000 pics with it. Great bokeh and detailed quality. I have Canon D550 camera and going to change it for full frame D6 or D5 to get most light from lens. Good buy!

This is by far the best piece of glass I have owned. Very smooth and tack sharp, well worth the money spent.

It is very important to check lens micro-adjustments with lens on camera immediately and if it cannot be micro-adjusted in the camera to acheive sharpness then it must be returned for replacement.

Beautifully built, tactile feel in the hands is excellent, sharp, great resolution and colour rendition, and thoutful integration of Arca Swiss compatible tripod mounting plate.Only criticism is that the vibration control and autofocus buttons sit slightly proud of the main barrel of the lens and...

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.

Im sure I got a bad lens (four, actually!), because theres no way the Tamron flagship lens duo (the 24-70mm and 70-200mm G2) were meant to perform this way, but alas and Im not the only person whos suffered the wrath of poor quality control The 24-70mm G2 (and its big brother, the 70-200mm G2) have...
