The stabilization is great for both photo & video and the 2.8 is good for low-light. I like the option of weather-seal for outdoors since my EOS R is also weather-sealed. It's comparable to sharpness to the Canon of the same (without stabilization). The focal range is spectacular for a general workhorse.

Don't buy used Gears!

I purchased a used lens from Adorama. Unfortunately, I can't recommend it. After only two uses, the switch cover/panel fell off during a photoshoot and was lost. While the lens still functions, it's difficult to determine if it's in autofocus mode. This was a disappointing experience for my first purchase of a used lens.

Awesome lens

The 24-70 2.8 G2 is a great lens. Well built and love the finish on lens. It's a heavy lens because of the glass. Very sharp lens at 2.8. And like any other lens. Stop it down to 3.2 through 5.6. Razor sharp. Love the bokeh you get using this lens. This will go with my tamron 70-200 2.8 G2. Great 1-2 combo lens for everything in photography. Great product! Go buy it.

This lens practically lives on my camera

I rarely review anything until I have put it through the paces and I have put this lens through the paces for two years now. It is by far my favorite lens and is extremely versatile and tack sharp straight out of the box. I have used it for street shooting, portraits and landscape photography and found it to be an exceptional and well built lens. It has lived well through rain storms, rough and tumble outdoor photography in temps from -15°F to 100° and is still delivers razor sharp images. I have several Tamron lens and all of them have been fantastic lenses.

Tamron EF 24-70 G2 Does not Autofocus on a Canon R5c

I bought this lens primarily for video, to be used with a Canon C300 Mk III and, more recently with a Canon R5c. Pros: the lens is well made and reasonably sharp at all apertures and focal lengths, Its AF works well with the C300 Mk III. Cons: This lens will not autofocus with the new Canon R5c, making it a manual focus lens while in video mode. Tamron support has claimed that they do not test their lenses on "cine" cameras and have no intention of doing so. I would not recommend this lens to Canon R5c owners who intend to acquire video.

Since Nikon had no new lenses available to buy, I went with Tamron, since I adore their 70-200. Very happy with it, as it performs well and is well-used!

This lens is fantastic, especially for the price. It is tack sharp, and I can see very whisker on my cats face. The focus is really on point. I have yet to use the TAP console, so I have no review on that.

About Tamron 24-70mm G2

PRO REVIEW by Erik Valind, Lifestyle and Portrait Photographer

"This lens produces great colors, gorgeous bokeh, and has quick and accurate focusing. But beyond that, it’s also loaded with vibration compensation, keeping it shake-free in low light and at slow speeds. "

Tamron 24-70mm Lens

Sophisticated Design

The use of specialized, high quality glass materials assures accurate color reproduction and superior sharpness, perfect for today’s high-pixel-density cameras. The optical construction (17 elements in 12 groups) uses 2 XR (Extra Refractive Index) elements, 3 LD (Low Dispersion) elements, 3 GM (Glass-Molded aspherical) and one hybrid aspherical lens element. Together they minimize axial chromatic aberrations, transverse chromatic aberrations, spherical aberrations and distortion, and allow a compact design that achieves superior image quality.

eBAND Coating

eBAND Coating

The new 24-70mm lens (model A032) features Tamron’s original eBAND (Extended Bandwidth & Angular-Dependency) Coating, a technology combining a nano-structured layer that has an extremely low refractive index with conventional multiple-layer coatings to provide superior anti-reflection performance. The optimal application of this eBAND Coating in combination with Tamron’s BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating successfully and substantially curbs the ghosting and flare that can occur when photographing backlit subjects.

New Dual Micro-Processing Unit Control System*

This innovative control system uses a Dual MPU design with enhanced computing capacity. The MPUs have powerful, built-in DSP (Digital Signal Processor) blocks that achieve quicker and more precise AF performance, and more consistently powerful Vibration Compensation. The features combine to provide outstanding performance at night and in low light.

New Dual MPU (Micro-Processing Unit) control system

The A032 is equipped with its own MPU (micro-processor unit), with embedded DSP (Digital Signal Processor) blocks that enable high-speed digital signal processing, achieving both excellent responsiveness to signals from the camera and high-precision AF performance.

*A new control system using two high-performance MPUs (micro-processor units)

Vibration Compensation

The new A032 is equipped with Tamron’s proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) system. Adding an MPU dedicated to VC processing unleashes a new-generation algorithm, ensuring the highest vibration compensation ability in the class (CIPA level of 5 stops). Even in low light or with slow shutter speeds, photographers can enjoy shake-free handheld shooting with ease and comfort.

Vibration Compensation

Moisture-Resistant Construction

The Fluorine Coating applied on the front element surface is water-and oil-repellant and allows safe and easy removal of fingerprints, dirt and smudges. The coating also provides an enhanced level of durability, and will sustain its effectiveness for years. In addition, seals are located at the lens mount area and other critical locations to prevent infiltration of moisture and/or rain drops to provide Moisture-Resistant Construction. This feature provides an additional layer of protection when shooting outdoors under adverse weather conditions.

Moisture-Resistant Construction

The new A032 is compatible with the optional TAMRON TAP-in ConsoleTM, an optional accessory product that provides a USB connection to a personal computer, enabling users to easily update the lens firmware as well as customize features including fine adjustments to the AF and VC.

An electromagnetic diaphragm system, which has been a standard feature for Canon-mount lenses, is now employed in Nikon-mount lenses. More precise diaphragm and aperture control is possible because the diaphragm blades are driven and controlled by a built-in motor through electronic pulse signals.

Tamron 24-70mm

Tamron has enhanced the SP series lenses to fulfill high-level photographic requirements and provide the pleasure of ownership. While introducing a new exterior design, Tamron reviewed the SP series standards. The new SP series has been developed by setting rigorous standards for design, manufacturing and quality that apply to the optical design and mechanical design as well as such wide-ranging areas as the product’s robustness and improvements in a variety of individual functions. For this model, Tamron has introduced a unique MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) tester, which was developed exclusively for Model A032, and reviewed the management method. This has helped to achieve a more consistently superb optical performance, making it a lens that fulfills the demand for higher image quality that is compatible with the latest high-pixel cameras. To maximize the optical performance of the SP series, Tamron will continue to enhance the accuracy of the component parts of each lens element unit and improve the mechanical precision of the entire lens, thereby achieving a high overall performance.

Warranty Information

This product has a limited warranty of 72 months.
