Tamron SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD Lens: A Fast Zoom For Full-Frame D-SLRs

 

The 70-200mm focal length has been the standard tele-zoom choice for many years, offering near normal to a good tele range that suits many practical purposes. Yet, quite a few stock-in-trade 70-200mm lenses had been slow or lost significant aperture as...

Tamron SP 70-200mm f2.8 Di VC USD

 

Testing the Tamron SP 70-200/2.8 VC left me with mixed feelings. It looks like a respectable design delivering very good to excellent performance in many cases, but my first sample suffered from some glitches. Thus I got a second copy of this lens to...

Good overall performance, with caveats., Image stabilization., Build quality., Weather sealing., Quiet, fast, and reliable AF operation.

Pretty high price., Unreliable image stabilization., Weak performance at 200mm f2.8.

Lens Review: Tamron SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD (Model A009)

 

Tamron's new workhorse zoom lens stacks up well against the higher priced competition.

Excellent overall image quality with crisp sharpness, great contrast and impressive resolving power; lower priced than the name-brand competition; smaller and lighter than the competition

Tamron continues its streak of producing high-quality, professional-level lenses at lower prices than its name-brand competitors with the stellar SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD. A lens with this focal length and aperture is a workhorse in most...

Tamron SP 70-200mm f/2.8 Di VC USD review

 

An excellent performer by any standards and especially for a third-party lens

Excellent performance ; Sheer value for money ; Fast AF and effective image stabilization

Big and heavy (though typical for 70-200mm f/2.8) ; Large 77mm filter ring

Spectacular image quality reinforces the up-market build quality and handling of this f/2.8 lens, making it an unbeatable buy at the price.

Tamron SP 70-200 mm f/2.8 Di VC USD

 

Every producer of optical devices for reflex cameras tries to have in their line-up a journalistic 70-200 mm f/2.8 lens. As the image stabilization comes in very handy in that range of focal lengths already in 2001 Canon presented that type of lens...

good build quality ; excellent image quality in the frame centre ; very good image quality on the edge of the APS-C/DX sensor ; image quality on the edge of full frame better than in the case of its competitors ; good control of chromatic aberration ;...

high vignetting on full frame ; work against bright light should have been better

Tamron SP 70-200mm f/2.8 Di VC USD (A009) Lens

 

Tamron's new 70-200mm zoom lens features built-in stabilisation and a new ultrasonic focus drive in the most compact lens body in its class.

With the SP AF70-200mm Di LD (IF) MACRO (Model A001) selling for just over $1000 in Australia and the average selling price of the new lens around $1500, you might wonder whether the advantages of the VC stabilisation and USM focusing motor are worth...
