Tamron SP AF17

By (bobatkins.com)

By (the-digital-picture.com)

The Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 Di Macro Lens delivers sharp images from a great focal length range and a wide/fast aperture in an economical package. The autofocus system is the clear downside to this lens

Large aperture (small F stop value) for the money, quick at the lowest F-stop value, includes hood

Uses clockwise zoom twist (from behind the camera)
