Good lens

The more I use this lens for portrait work, the more I like it. The colors are nice and at 200mm the bokeh is incredible but sometimes the focus isn't as accurate as I would like as it tends to back focus sometimes and is the autofocus lens a little on the slow side. Overall good lens though and at a decent price.

Overall great lens!

I love this lens. I read lots and lots of reviews on different brands to buy a 70 200 mm. And I decided on the Tamron because not only was it nearly 1000$ cheaper than a canon brand, but the reviews all saod it was so close in comparison, that the 1000$ extra wasn't reasonable. I've only had the lens about a month, but I am in love with quality!!! Definetly a game changer! The only issue is, it is very heavy. Sometimes hard to handle for very long. I may end up investing in a tripod for this one. Still manageable though

Quickly becoming my favorite lens!

When compared to the Canon 70-200, the Tamron does a really great job for the price. It is a little noisy, but that isn't a factor how I shoot. It's tremendously sharp and fast and the f2.8 creates beautiful bokeh. I'd recommend this lens to anyone.

Great Buy

I purchased this lens at a great price, and within a week the price dropped another ($) Adorama had a ($) in store credit within 48hrs (my choice for the credit). the lens is spectacular. Used it twice now as well as allowed a friend to use to capture a little league Championship. Truly a superb investment....

Good build and quality overall

My review will be short since i haven't used a lot, plus i'm assuming everyone knows what this lens can do since it's a 2.8 I really liked the build and overall quality of the lens, the positions of the zoom and aperture rings etc. It might not have the quality of its Canon counterpart, but for the cheaper price, i'll take it.

Well Worth the Investment

I was looking into having a f/2.8 zoom lens. I've only had it a short period of time, but after doing some testing at home and zooming into the photo, I can say that it is pretty sharp. It's a heavy, solid lens but a really good lens. Very pleased with it and anticipate I will get much usage out of it, especially in low lighting situations.

Great lens!!!!

I tried this lens for a dance recital and loved the quality of the pictures. With the low light, the f2.8 was extremely helpful. I have a crop sensor, so the zoom was more and wonderful! I talked to many people about this lens and the difference with Nikon, Sigma and Tamron, but the Tamron lens won by far. I bought this lens right before Christmas and received a great rebate. The staff at Adorama helped me find the best quality for my price range. Definitely a must lens, especially if you love shooting in lower light, or you love shooting animals. I loved taking it to the zoo for a trial and was very pleased with the quality of the pictures!

Sharp and fast

I love and use mostly prime lenses. So when I try this zoom lens I was shock to find out how sharp it was and felt in love. Just photographed a full session with this lens and my images came out with a beautiful and creamy bokeh. I'm in love!

Amazing for the price

When compared to the Nikon 70-200, the Tamron does a really good job for the price. It is a little noisy, but for non-professionals, that should not be a factor. I use this lens with the Nikon D500... provides a good range and performs very well in low-light situations.

Powerful beast of a lens

A substantial upgrade from the kit lens, this has the size and weight to prove it. Constant 2.8 max aperture means it doesn't change as you zoom. Bright and allows for shallow depth of field. Lens reviews show that it compares to the Nikon equivalent at a fraction of the price. Good image stabilization (I would not buy a long lens without it). Tripod collar is included. Only negative is the size and weight. This is a beast to carry around.

Take picture of family birds and other anilmals, butter flies, plant, etc. The lens is all that I read of and more. Good step up for me.

Like the lens very much so. The 6 year warranty from Tamron and the Leaf 3 year warranty is also great. But still have not received the UV filter. Also the leans cleaning items were not with the original pack.

Excellent competitor/ canon70-200 IS II

By Marek K.

I shoot mostly weddings and portraiture, and I have a bad habit of renting the best lenses in each class. My first venture into a 70-200 was with the NON IS f/4 version that a friend owns. It's excellent, and after using it at a wedding, I decided I could not shoot another without this type of zoom. I then began renting the canon 70-200 2.8 IS II which is just plain amazing..I never need to stop it down and just leave it at f2.8, and wide open it's super sharp and renders everything beautiful...

I always dreamed of owning a Nikon 70-200 2.8, but the high cost kept me from making the purchase. After reading the reviews on the Tamron version of this lens, I decided to take a chance on it. I was not disappointed. This is a solid professional grade lens. It's very sharp at all focal lengths and apertures. The focus is fast and the build is solid. No lens creep. Internal zoom.

The Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 DI VC USD is a large-aperture telephoto zoom lens for professional photographers and advanced photography enthusiasts. It features a fast f/2.8 wide aperture throughout the zoom range. This model delivers leading-edge image quality in a compact lens that's designed for both FX full-frame Nikon DSLRs and DX APS sensor Nikon cameras, has a large aperture that is consistent throughout the zoom range, and Vibration Compensation, which reduces camera shake in low light. The lens has a quiet autofocus mechanism, rounded diaphragm for pleasing focus fall-off, and special lens elements for high-quality images. On an APS sensor camera, the lens has an equivalent 109-310mm range.

What you should know about this lens:
• Compact for its focal range: The most compact lens body in its class.
• High-quality images: The lens is made with one XLD (extra low dispersion) glass element and four LD (low dispersion) elements resulting in excellent contrast and resolution.
• Vibration Compensation: This version offers shake-free shooting in lower light, up to 4 additional stops of handheld photography
• Good bokeh: A rounded diaphragm renders natural blurred backgrounds with rounded specular highlights, separating the subject nicely from the background.
• Autofocus with manual override. Ultrasonic Silent Drive autofocus is quiet and fast, and full-time manual focus means you can manually adjust focus even when in AF mode.
• Sturdy construction: The lens is sealed against moisture.
• This lens is especially well-suited for portrait photography, event photography, photojournalism, wildlife and sports photography.
