Top Rated Gear: Used Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 DI VC USD Zoom Lens for Nikon DSLR. undefined

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:  &#149; Compact for its focal range: The most compact lens body in its class.  &#149; 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.  &#149; Vibration Compensation: This version offers shake-free shooting in lower light, up to 4 additional stops of handheld photography  &#149; Good bokeh: A rounded diaphragm renders natural blurred backgrounds with rounded specular highlights, separating the subject nicely from the background.  &#149; 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.  &#149; Sturdy construction: The lens is sealed against moisture.  &#149; This lens is especially well-suited for portrait photography, event photography, photojournalism, wildlife and sports photography.

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.

Good lens

It doesn't work for me in the camera, I have a Canon EOS R

It doesn't work for Canon EOS R

Lens performance exceeds all my expectations. Well worth the money. Adorama very easy to do business with, will most definitely use them for future equipment needs

Lens performance exceeds all my expectations

First off a would like to thank Adorama  for their great service when I screwed up my first order the company made it so easy to reorder .  I am a night shooter and the Tamron 70-200mm 2.8 G1 Gives new life to my Canon 70D .

what a awesome 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

Overall great lens!

Love this lens and it has helped take my sports photography to the next level!

Wonderful 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.

Quickly becoming my favorite lens!

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....

Great Buy

Great

Love this lens! Produces wonderful clear, crisp images. Great alternative to Canon if you cannot afford their price. 

Great Clarity

my favorite lens . I  am a amateur who feels like a pro with this lens. 

superior

Super happy with this lens . this lens gets me in other level .

24-70 Tamron 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!

Great lens!!!!

Enjoying vibration stability even at max range and clearer shots

Clearer shots

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! 

Sharp and fast

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.

Amazing for the price

As described by other users, quality of this lens is fantastic and there is a huge price differential between this and Canon.

Good buy

Very sharp, great bokeh, overall excellent lens.

Excellent lens at a great price

Tamron 70-200 is an excellent lens that serves as a workhorse in many areas. Tack sharp, fast, and affordable. 

Great lens, great value

Great Lens--i have been using it for 2 years+ no problems, and still have sharp image..great VC

Great Lens

Absolutely in love with this lens!! Quick focus, sharp, good VC. Great images with my d600

It's a keeper!!

A huge step up for my portrait photos

Love this lens! Was recommended as an alternative to Sony for the 900$ savings it has proven worthy! Tuff and great glass!

Great glass

Great lens!! Tack sharp, focuses is very fast and quiet. Highly recommend.

Great lens at any price.

This lens is super sharp and focuses fast! Great purchase!

Love so many things about this lens.  The weather resistant feature and the internal zoom make it great to use in bad weather (I still use a sleeve to protect it). The 2.8 is throughout the lens range! love.

Great sports lens.

I was impressed with the sharpness of the photos that this lens produced. Nice depth of field and nice bikes.

Great lens

After watching a few videos of good photographers comparing this lens with Nikon, decided on this Tamron. Good build, works well and sharp. Tested it at a horse jumping event, fast auto focus and accurate. Great sharpness at f/5.6 ~ f/6.3 zoomed in to 150mm, as I was a good 20 to 30  yards away from the subjects at times.  Very good center sharpness and corners look good too.

Haven't pushed it to f/2.8 and portraits yet, but quite happy with the performance so far after 1,100 shots.

Great Adorama service and return policy makes it easy to go for this type of lens.

Sharp, fast AF and great photos

I previously had the older tamron 70-200 non vc. I always struggled at focusing on daylight and pictures always came out blurry if i was shooting anything slower than 250th/sec. Also very noisy. 

Now I shoot in near in lowlight at 1/8 a second at 200mm and all pictures come out tack sharp. Focus is super fast and silent. Love this lens. Glad i bought it.

Too good to be true

The first one they sent wasn't sharp at all
 I thought I made a grave mistake not going with Nikon. I had a pro shoot the lens and said it was more than a fine focusing issue and to send it back. New one came and it shoots flawlessly. I could read the tail letters off a plane in the sky zooming in on camera preview. Nice lens and way less expensive.
