Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 for Canon DSLR Cameras (Tamron 6 Year Limited USA Warranty)

Comment

I like this lens a lot. its faster than the older model, I like the all black casing, and the locking hood. I kinda wish I would have gotten it from another vendor because for the same price it came with the equipment to update the firmware (normally $60 extra). But I was impatient and wanted what I wanted. But the lens is great...and half the cost of the Canon equivalent.

Major upgrade from first version that had many missed focus issues. This one nails it every time and VC is awesome.

I bought this lens because every review on YouTube said this as better than the Sigma 24-70 Art and was almost as good as the Canon 24-70 L II but cheaper. Plus why get the old version when this "isnt that much more" (said the guy that now needs a new phone). As amateur photographer I dreamt about getting this lens because when you have a some extra cash and been doing tons of research you get fixated on what you deem the best. Dont get me wrong f2.8 on a zoom wow. Vibration control, yup it really matters and once you see your old shaky videos youll never go back. Not having to swap between a 50mm and something wider or more zoom meh. I found that the 50mm 1.8 was good enough especially since I can walk at a reasonable speed. Though I have to admit not having to carry all those other lens just in case is a bigger benefit then the need to switch lens at the drop of a hat. But heres the not so good part, this thing is expensive a used 50mm 1.8 stm cost about $80. This thing is also heavy; as in heavier than my camera; as in I had to get a new camera strap (Altura Photo Rapid Fire Camera Neck Strap) which by the way is awesome. No more accidentally smacking my daughter in the head with the camera as I pick her up... Ill save that story for my review. Yes this thing is sharp, but I dont zoom in 100% when looking at photos (Well I do now cause I spent 1200 to have this lens). Ive cropped one photo so far and the subject was in the center so not really a win. In any case I gave this 5 stars cause its as advertised a great lens, everything thats awesome about it is true. Judging from eBay the previous version has held its value very well as do most other expensive lens so there is that.

Picture quality is great. Build quality has great feel in your hands. My lens had a small back focus shift out of the box. I could correct it in my camera but I needed to send it back for recalibration.

Probably the best value lens for a Canon full frame camera. Incredible photos in low light.

It is a heavy lens, but honestly I used this for 6 days straight and had no issues. Seems to be extremely well made. Picture quality is very good. Would highly recommend.

Best performance and value 24-70 F2.8 zoom with superb image stabilizer. Canon can’t build such a lens at the moment.

This lens is a great walk around, every day lens. I recently upgraded to a full frame camera (Canon 6D Mark II) and none of my old lenses were compatible. This lens has a great range of wide and portrait options that allow me to take only 1 lens with me when I am out and about, and I feel confident that I will not miss any shots that I wouldve liked to take. The focus is fast and accurate and the aperture is nice and wide. I was worried about the build quality having only used Sigma and Canon lenses previously, but this build quality is just as good as my Sigma. This lens is BIG, heavy, and bulky (it has an 82mm filter size) but since I dont have to carry any other lenses I often find that it isnt a problem. I am grateful for the image stabilization to assist me with my night shots - the motors are also very quiet if you were planning on using this for film work. All in all, Im very glad I purchased this lens and I look forward to using it for years to come!

What an incredible lens! Worth every penny. The vibration control (image stabilization) is the real deal.
