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...

Good sharpness throughout the range in the centre.; Effective Vibration Compensation system; Good value; Good build quality; Moisture resistant construction; Low distortion

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...
