Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD: A Constant Aperture “Full Frame” Zoom

The difference between a “constant” aperture zoom and other standard zooms is that when you increase the focal length on the standard zoom the maximum aperture narrows. This might make the difference between being able to hand hold or not when zooming...

Lens Review: Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD (Model A007)

A new, budget-friendly workhorse of a lens with image stabilization.

Solid but lightweight professional-grade build; Vibration Compensation helps for shooting at slower shutter speeds in low light; fast, virtually silent focusing; great resolving power and excellent image quality results

A step slower focusing in low light than Canon’s comparable lens; zoom ring is stiff and slow to turn; some fall-off in corner sharpness at 24mm

If you can get over whatever reservations you might have about third-party lenses, the Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD is definitely worth a look. It’s a well-crafted, professional-grade lens in a very popular zoom length/aperture that could very...

Tamron SP 24-70MM F/2.8 Di VC USD Lens

A fast, sharp, image-stablized 24–70mm zoom lens is just what serious photographers have been crying out for but so far the major camera manufacturers have not answered their pleas. Canon users were expecting that the recently revised Canon 24–70mm...

REVIEW—TAMRON SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD lens]

The Tamron lens, with an f2.8 constant maximum aperture, is in the category of “standard” zoom for a full frame DSLR. It can be used on a reduced sensor APS camera, where the focal lengths then become 36–105mm. Optical performance improves on an APS...

Auto focus lives up to the promise in the advertising. It is lightning fast and completely silent. Optical performance is generally good, with reservations about edge sharpness and distortion. Used judiciously the lens produces excellent images with...

The barrel distortion at wide-angle and pincushion distortion at 70mm is obvious. However this is characteristic of this category of lens. You wouldn’t use it for architecture ; VERDICT: Canon, Nikon and Sigma all make a lens similar to this one. It is...

Canon, Nikon and Sigma all make a lens similar to this one. It is a versatile event lens, useful for weddings and parties where a quick change of focal length is more important than pin-sharp edges. They all seem to work best, with reasonable overall...

Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD (Model A007) Lens

Tamron adds Vibration Compensation stabilisation to a full-featured, standard zoom lens that maintains a fast f/2.8 aperture through its zoom range.

Our shooting tests were carried out with the Canon EOS 5D Mark II body, which was a good match with the lens. Autofocusing was fast, quiet and accurate and the f/2.8maximum aperture provided full scope for the high sensitivity of the camera's AF point...

REVIEW: Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 VC USD

This highly anticipated lens from Tamron covers the popular 24-70mm range with a fast constant aperture of f/2.8. It is one of Tamron's 'SP' lenses, which denotes that it should be able to produce professional quality results. Unlike lenses in this...

Strong falloff of illumination towards the corners at maximum aperture; Drop in contrast at maximum aperture

The Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD offers very good optical performance for a reasonable price. The added bonus of Vibration Compensation will appeal to many, especially if your photography tends to require shooting at slower shutter speeds in low...
