Technology is catching up with the big performers. Apple is no longer better than Android, Nikon is no longer the big fish in the sea, Tamron has stepped up their game with this lens, in an attempt to turn heads from Nikon 70-200, and it is turning heads, and for good reasons.

I bought this lens to replace the 70-200mm f/4l Canon I had. I am kicking myself for NOT doing it sooner!! Honestly, I should have just saved and bought this first. It is a solid solid lens no joke. The color is amazing, it's razor sharp, killer in low light, and just does what it's supposed to.

Razor Sharp; Superb Color; Has VC; Affordable; and a 6yr Warranty too

Not a single one

This is by far the best piece of glass I have owned. Very smooth and tack sharp, well worth the money spent.

not bad, but this one came without a storage bag as others

Canon and Nikon photographers who demand the best quality and performance will typically buy premium own-brand lenses if they can afford them, or third-party lenses if they can't. But this Tamron G2 (Generation 2) is arguably better than Canon's top-flight 70-200mm f/2.8 lens, and is essentially as...

Pro-grade build quality; Fabulous image quality; 5-stop stabilization

Typically heavy for a 70-200mm f/2.8; Switches can be operated accidentally

Tamron's telephoto zoom lens impresses with high performance at a far more affordable price than marque brands

Great value; High performance; Five-year warranty

Large; Heavy

The Tamron SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 is a second-generation telephoto zoom lens for Canon and Nikon full-frame DSLR cameras. This compact lens features a constant aperture of f/2.8 throughout the range, improved Vibration Compensation (VC) technology, a shorter minimum focus distance of 0.95m,...

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

Apple's latest non-Pro iPhone is superb - it's just that it's strikingly similar to last year's effort.

Still an incredible smartphone, Brilliant battery life gets a bit better, Excellent camera system gets a bit better

Last year’s Pro hardware, Wireless charging slow by modern standards, No USB-C; it’s now well overdue

I have choosen the Tamron 70-200/2.8 VC because at my workplace we use the same and I was impressed by its performance and durability. We use it as workhorse and its still working- but the zoom rings rubber got expanded so its not wheater sealed for now and not very sexy.

Pretty fast and accurate AF; good built quality; very nice iq; damn good stabilization; not that pricey

Built quality not as good as Canon 70-200/2.8 also the AF slower (not significantly); zoom ring and mf ring reversed; hard to use with reversed hood
