Used Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 DI VC USD Lens for Canon EOS

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.

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

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 .

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

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.

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....

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!

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
