Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD SP

Tamron took a bold step in providing a lens with image stabilization in this category - perhaps sacrificing image sharpness to provide the hand-holding convenience. The question for the prospective shooter of this lens would be, do you value image...

On every serious shooter's list of “essential” glass, you will see the classic 24– 70mm f/2.8. Now, Tamron has gilded the lily with a heretofore absent feature: Vibration Compensation. Tamron pulled off this coup by using lighter and smaller glass...

The Tamron AF 24-135mm f/3.5-5.6 AD Aspherical (IF) SP is indeed a worthy competitor for the Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 USM IS. The resolution and vignetting figures are slightly superior whereas it's a tie regarding distortions. The Tamron shows a...

I had a chance to test this lens on my 5d m2. I compared it with the canon 24-70 ver 2.

This is the lowest priced zoom lens in its class and the IQ is much better than the Canon 28-135mm, which i had used before. As you zoom in to 100mm and greater focal length, the image quality diminishes a bit, but if you drop it to f/7.1 (the sweet...

I owned one of these for a few months at the beginning of 2009, after reading a favourable review at Photozone.de. I went on holiday to Morocco and needed a "do-everything" lens for my Canon 5D, and this seemed a good choice. On a full-frame camera the...

I like this lense but haven't used it enough yet to give a good review. It is heavy so I tend to use another lense when I go out.

I was only able to borrow this lens and use it indoors.. I did not like it very much. it seems like it made my photos noisy/grainy even with a higher ISO. but it is built well and I'm sure it makes for nicer photos outdoors.

I hesitated for some time, before pulling the trigger on this purchase. My mistake. I promptly burned two rolls of fine grained film with it, and the results are VERY good. Upon glassing the negs, (10x loupe on light table) I found the negs to be very...

At short focal lengths, up to 70-80mm, this lens is very sharp even wide open. Longer than that, it loses detail, particularly at infinity focus. Build quality is good though, and the focal range is very useful even on a crop sensor camera.
