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.

Great Glass Overall!

Great Lens!! Sharp edge to edge, VC makes low light a breeze, and the colors are greats. Bokeh is beautiful and stopped down it's super sharp. This goes great with my SP 70-200 f2.8 G2 and my 100-400 f4.5-6.3. Love my Tamron's!! L quality glass on an enthusiasts budget!

Literally the most versatile lens I have. Also Adorama is the only place I trust at this point when buying camera equipment.

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.

You won't regret it.

I purchased this lens to replace a failing 1st gen Canon L series. Many online reviews talk about vignetting and this is absolutely a thing, fortunately, Photoshop and Lightroom can automatically correct for this and you would never know it. In comparing this lens to my 1st gen Canon 24-70 USM L; is the canon sharper - maybe,... The autofocus on the Tameron is much faster and the stabilization definitely makes a difference, especially in low light. One thing I didn't see any reviewers mention is the image tonal warmth, I'm shooting a 5D mkiii and with either of my Canon lenses the images are often very cool and need a little warming added in post. With this Tameron the images appear much warmer and sometimes I need to tone them down in post. Price versus value, I would highly recommend this lens.

Perfect Condition

The lens came just in time for a booking. It?s the perfect focal length for all around shooting and you can?t beat a refurbished price. I?d buy this lens over a canon branded version any day.

Great alternate to Canon lens

This lens is amazing , it has fast autofocus , very sharp images , and amazing build quality .. I would definitely recommend if you don?t want to spend the $1,800 that canon 24-70 2.8 lens cost !

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.

By far one of the best lens I own. I call it the canon killer because it gives somewhat the same quality.

Excellent Lens!

So far I love this lens. It's not as heavy as I thought it would be and the images are great. Very little fringe which is a huge pet peeve of mine.

I like it and use it almost daily!

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!

Super sharp lens

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.

Perfect all-around lens

This is a perfect all-around lens for portrait photography. I've also loved it for lifestyle photography and landscapes. Quick, accurate focus. Good in low-light conditions. Amazing purchase, and I am so happy that I went with Tamron rather than name-brand for double the price.

Great Lens!

By DENNIS C.

First let me state that I rented this lens before I purchased it. It was an amazing lens so I saved up my pennies and got a copy. The light transmission on it is amazing. I was using the Canon 24-105L f4 lens. Not only does this blow it away in sharpness it lets in so much more light. When both lens' were set to f4 and on aperture priority the camera always chose a faster shutter for this over the Canon. I also tested this with auto ISO and with both lenses set the exact same the camera alway...

An amazing lens

By Richard J.

I wanted a PRO-level upgrade from my Nikon 24-85 VR (a very good lens in its own right) and the 24-70 Tamron G2 seemed like the most affordable option. The lens arrived from Adorama this week and it is clear that Tamron has created a real winner in this competitive field. The G2 is solid and beautifully made, giving indications that it is going to last. It’s heavy of course (2 pounds) but balances nicely on my D610. Handling is excellent and it took no time at all to get used to the extra w...
