  • Fantastic Lens and Value, but…
This lens is sharp, lighter than many other equivalent lenses, and gives you more light than most telephoto zooms in its price range with its fixed f2.8 aperture. The lens is incredibly well made and comes with a lens hood and a tripod collar, making it an amazing value for the price. The zoom range of 70-180 mm is close to 70-200 mm and should be usable for most. Unfortunately for me, I kept wanting to zoom in more than I could with this lens so ended up exchanging it for a 70-200 mm and paid more for those extra 20 mm. It functioned very well with the zoom and focus rings both providing just enough resistance to be easy to use while staying where you want them to. I used it on a Sony a7iii and it integrated well with aperture and shutter priority modes, fast autofocus, and image stabilization. ... show more

  • Incredible lens
First week review: I feel like a professional photographer using this lens. It is FAST It is beautiful It is easy to use It is small and lightweight compared to other zoom lenses like a s o n y 70-200. I was able to use this for several days in a row to get some amazing softball photos! It reaches outfield from the backstop of a normal softball field, however it really shines getting shots of closer areas on the field. The autofocus is incredible! I put this on my Sony a6000 which I’ve had for 10 years and never upgraded the lens - so this lens is an incredible upgrade ... show more

  • Great Bang for the Buck
Really nice lens - very sharp and fairly light weight and about 1/3 of the price of the newer Sony 70-200 GM lens. Of course, it doesn’t have all the features that the high end Sony does, but for me, it checked all the boxes. Getting great wildlife shots in the woods behind my house!

  • Pleasantly surprised
I was always reluctant of buying non-OEM lenses but the price of the Sony version of this was prohibitive for me. I don't regret buying it. While isn't cheap, the value for the money is outstanding. Zooming capabilities are great, no defects nor aberrations, overall is a very good quality product.

  • Fantastic Lens
Oh my GAWD this is a fantastic lens. The pictures are so crisp. The focus is on point. This really got my street photography going. I love the picture quality. I was using the Tamron 28-75, but I love this better. Wow!!! Definitely recommended.

  • This lense is in a league of its own
If you don't want to buy the Gmaster and you want something not as heavy as the Sigma, This leanse is not just a great option, it is the best value of all those 3 lenses. Sharp, great autofocus, good weight and good build quality

  • Fantastic Image Quality, Questionable Durabilty
This lens is sharp, pretty fast and overall quality shots that rivals that of G Master lens for half the price. It is also fantastic for close up macro shots and with minimal focal length. Please see pics I have attached on my recent trip with my Sony A7C II. However, this lens quit working after 2 days of shooting. My camera would show flashing aperture value and wouldn't allow for autofocus function and force into manual focus, and the manual focus ring wouldnt change focus meaning something had gone wrong internally with the drive motors or drive by wire system so I requested a return. This malfunction left me with the 28-60mm Kit Lens and my 16-35mm GM lens for the rest of my trip and lose valueable shots most appropriate for this lens. Being my first Tamron lens, I was so happy with the photos I was able to get out of it on the first try but very dissapointed that it quit working after roughly 50-60 shots!!! The lens was not mishandled, not roughed around and it was handled with great care just like my other lenses. My 16-35 lens remained on the body for the rest of the trip and was very effective. Hopefully Tamron can figure out what happened and can offer a better solution unless I just got a bad unit. ... show more

  • A lens that's 2.8f all the way
So I like this lens that it's 2.8f all the way through, the shots are clear and AF is fast. But I find most of my shots are on the 4f or smaller aperture. Still giving 5 stars as it's fun to play with the bokeh, but I think that I'll switch to a 28/35-300/350 3.5-5.6f lens as I'm finding I'm missing the wide angles and needing that little extra zoom boost without having to switch lenses that this lens doesn't provide. Used with Sony 6700 body. ... show more
