Great Lens...Don't be scard to buy!
I think I looked at this lens along with the Nikkor for my Nikon D5100 for about two months before finally making the purchase. I was hesitant due to seeing in reviews that this lens was sometimes slower to focus, taking up to 5 seconds at times. And, I wanted to make sure I was going to be getting sharp images. But, after weighing out where I am in my business at this time, and where I want to be in two years, it seemed only logically to go with the Tamron due to the price. So, I did. When I received it, I almost returned it due to it would not autofocus. But, then I felt like a fool because I was looking for a switch to change it to auto focus and it has not switch, but you pull the front of the lens down. I had a chocolate blond moment. So once I got it to auto focus, it was on! I love this lens. It's not been slow to focus for me at all. And the sound is not a big deal to me at all....as a matter of fact, I haven't even really paid any attention to the sound. So, it must not be that loud really. It can be a little soft sometimes on images, but for the most part I've had sharp images. I would recommend this to anyone. It is a bit heavy but that's ok. It's a big lens. The price is awesome for this piece of glass. Much better than the $2000 plus for the NIkkor.......although I'm sure it's a superb lens. One day I will probably get the NIkkor, but for now it was more sense to get the Tamron, which I am very pleased with. ... show more

Tamron 70-200mm F2.8
Review Image by Levi
I've been wanting this lens for a long while and I finally saved up enough money to get it with. I've got to say right off hand, you can't beat it for the price. I have had this lens for a few days and right out of the box, I noticed the weight. It's not extremely heavy but just heavy enough to show it's a quality lens. It doesn't feel like if you drop it that you're going to break it. It's made from a super thick feeling plastic with rubber grips on the zoom ring and focus ring. The tripod colar is made out of metal, I'm assuming. It's a quality tripod colar and feels very well built. Completely able to hold up the lens and camera with no problem. Now to address the problem that everyone has with this lens, the focus speed. I was worried about this as well when I ordered it, but it's not been a problem. I've seen videos showing this lens and it's focus speed and they always having it trying to find focus with the lens cap on. It just as fast as the Sigma 70-200mm 2.8 at finding it's focus point and is very accurate at finding it. I don't know why people have problems with it unless you're shooting high movement sports such as football or something like that. I'm shooting a Nikon D90 and it not slow with the AF at all. Tamron has classified it as a macro lens, but it's really a telephoto lens. It will not do macro so do not get it if you're looking for a macro lens. As for optics, it's very sharp. I shot my girlfriend with it and it's sharp even wide open. I stopped it down and it becomes extremely sharp. It has a great contrast, not any chromatic aberration from what I can tell or very little of it. It just has all around fantastic optics. As for the look of this lens alone, with the lens hood attached, it looks like a professional lens. It looks like a lens that a paparazzi would carry around with them to shoot the movie stars. In a nutshell, if you're looking for a lens that has great optics, has a nice professional weight to it, looks like a professional lens, and won't break the bank, I would suggest getting the Tamron 70-200mm F2.8 lens. I bought this and a Zeikos 77mm filter and it came out to around $710. You just cannot beat that when the Canon and Nikon versions of this lens are both around $2,200. If you're on a budget, this would be the lens you would want to get. ... show more

All of you out there that are reading this review of the Tamron 70-200 are probably in one of two categories. 1) Looking for a fast low light zoom but don't wont to pay the price of the Nikon/Canon 2.8 tele or 2) Your looking for a backup telezoom for your Nikon/Canon. I do wedding, family, sports shoots as a side biz and I'm in category 1. You're probably worried about buying it and it not Auto Focusing fast enough or having some other issues that you've read......because that was a concern of mine. Let me put you at ease.....don't worry, the Tamron 70-200 is fantastic! In fact I was so pleased that I ended up purchasing other Tamron lenses. The 28-75 f/2.8 and also the 17-35 f/2.8-4mm and all 3 have been exceptional to say the least. AF - Lets get to what everyone is concerned about...Auto Focus. I have two Nikons that I've use this lens on. A D5000 (cropped 1.5x sensor) that I use for quick pics of the kids and vacations (non paying gigs) and a D700 full frame for my professional paying gigs and if the kids have very special events like my daughters kindergarten graduation. I'm really not seeing what everyone is fussing about this lens AF's just as fast as my Nikon DX lens....55-200 VR for example. I use this lens for in and out doors and have never had a problem with it auto focusing. It's like any lens you use.....take a person dressed in black standing in front of a black background and any lens will have a hard time trying to find the focus. Adjust your focal point on the face where the contrast is different and boom it finds it. This is only rare occasions but it does happen sometimes and it also happens with my Nikkors. One thing I do notice is my D700 AF quicker compared to my D5000. It's not by much but it is noticeable, but not an issue. I honestly believe it's due to the difference of the AF systems in the two cameras. D700 is known for its superb AF. AF Accuracy - Spot on, never a problem. I have my D700 set where it will not release the shutter unless it's in focus and I've never have had a problem with it being fooled or hunting for focus unless it's in a dark closet. AF loudness - Is the Tamron louder than the Nikkor lenses when Auto focusing? Yes it is. It's not quiet but it's not loud by any means. You have to remember you're the one looking through the viewfinder and of course you're going to hear it. Others won't even notice it. The shutter closing/opening when taking a picture is twice as loud as the Tamron AF system. It's not even an issue. I don't know if I would take it out to the Amazon taking pics of dangerous and exotic animals where my life depended on it......but then again you'd still probably be ok. Remember the shutter is louder than the auto focus.....again it's not even an issue I don't think. Sharpness - Super sharp at all focal lengths. I've actually have been very pleased with all of my Tamrons and the sharpness it produces. When hand held at 200mm 2.8 it is a tad softer but 95% of that is due to camera shake. I've tested this and have mounted it on a tripod at that setting with sharp as a tack results. Vibration Reduction or Tamrons VC would be a huge plus but it's not totally necessary. Construction - Very well made, very hefty and durable. I've used Nikons version and it's a fantastic piece of engineering that is weather sealed, built like a tank and is without a doubt more durable. I think this is where the price difference is. The Tamron is not cheap feeling by any means. When you hold it you know its made very well but the Nikon just takes that to another level which is why its $2000 plus US dollars and the fact this it has Vibration Reduction. If you're going to be going through some rugged terrain on a paid photo shoot it would only make sense to purchase the Nikon. Honestly if you took care of the Tamron and kept it clean I'm sure it could make it out fine also but I wouldn't try it. Overall - Superb sharpness, old school but very effective AF system and AF accuracy, AF noise is not a problem and is really not even loud enough to even mention in this review but I know people have brought it up and are concerned. I'm 100% pleased. Even if I would have paid more I still would have been pleased but that's the beauty of Tamron. Giving you a great professional lens at a great price. Quick story: I was outside under the patio just a couple of days ago taking pics of the massive storm that we had here in Oklahoma using this lens. I would AF on the clouds and press the shutter and to my surprise the shutter would not release. Remember I have it set where it will not take the pic unless it's in perfect focus. After a few times of this I was getting very frustrated and thought to myself........this is what everyone must be talking about when they mean the Tamron has trouble AFing. Few seconds later the shutter goes off taking pics of nothing. I'm thoroughly confused now and then it hit me. Just a day earlier I was taking some self portraits for my online profile and I was using the auto delay 20 second timer and I still had it in that setting.......sigh.....I was quick to blame the Tamron....poor Tamron. 8/19/10 UPDATE: I've owned this lens going on 3 months now and have used it extensively for indoor events (weddings) and low light evening portrait sessions. I'm still very pleased with the performance. There is one thing I'm a little disappointed in but its not a deal breaker but enough to drop my original 5 star rating to a 4.5. Sharpness - At f2.8 and 200mm the sharpness takes a hit some, its actually more of a soft image.....especially in low lighting. If you back off the focal length to 165mm or under it improves. Stopping down to f4 is razor sharp. Its annoying that I can't use f2.8 for razor sharp pics but in reality there's not a lot of lens that are razor sharp when completely stopped down to its maximum, with the exception to some. I'm finding all my Tamrons are this way at f2.8. Of course when asking owners of the $1750 Nikon 24-70 2.8 and $2200 Nikon 70-200 2.8 VR they all say its tack sharp at 2.8. Auto focusing - Its still does a great job at AFing but now that I'm getting used to other lenses in my bag (Nikon primes and Tamron Zooms) and then coming back to this 70-200 I am seeing a difference in speed. Its not much and its not a problem but I do feel the difference. Its a tad slower....even slower than my Tamron 28-75 2.8 which in my opinion is still fast. My Tamron 17-35 2.8 does not have internal AF and is a screwdriver cam type where you rely on the camera to do the AFing. Its so fast that it can become violent..it will take your finger off if not careful...ha,ha. ... show more

Review Image by grayheet
After much searching for a budget alternative to the Nikon 70-200 F2.8 I settled on the Tamron version. Honestly this lens is worth the money, forget all the bad reports. Yes some people may get bad versions of this lens however honestly by far most versions are good extremely good. I am from the Caribbean and a "new photographer" if I could say that and for some of us we cannot afford a $2300 US lens that's $14000+ Trinidad dollars. I probably will get the nikon version later on when I am more established but honestly there is not much about this lens to be unhappy with. Let's list the good things about this lens- (i) Sharp, real sharp - I thought my 50 mm 1.8 was sharp boy was I wrong, this lens nails it almost every time on the auto focus at 100% crop there is no softness. (ii) Color reproduction is fantastic. (iii) Low light focusing is slow but honestly many good lenses hunt in really low light, I found that half way pressing the shutter releasing and pressing again solves that problem real fast. (iv) Bokeh is how to say....um just Bokehlicious (v) Really and truly the focus motor is not that loud as some people make it out to be it is well within acceptable levels your camera shutter will make more noise. (vi) Image distortion is minimal, if any at all (viii) ability to work on FX and DX bodies. Ok the bad - (i) Not for sports or action, auto focus motor a touch too slow for that. (ii) No VR. In my case I am lucky that I have real steady hands so a real slow shutter speed is not a problem for me (iii) The push/pull clutch system for some people it is a bit auk ward but after a while you get use to it and it does not bother you. So all round a great lens, you can't have everything you want, and if you do, then buy a Nikon lens but I can assure you this lens is honestly the best bang for the buck. ... show more

For the casual/hobbyist photographer, look no more. Great value and performance
I needed a low light zoom lens to take pictures of my daughters during their dance recitals and other activities. Given that i am not going to be using this lens on a regular basis, i did not want to sped a ton of money. I gave Tamron a change after reading many positive reviews. It doesnt disappoint! The lens is a bit on the heavy side, but expected for any 2.8 lens. The picture quality is above average, I wish it was a bit sharper, but just nitpicking really. I do find that it has some distortion when using both extreme, 70mm or 200mm, again, nitpicking. At times it does loose focus and it takes it a bit of time to go through the entire focus range to refocus. I quite dont get why it does. But most of the time, it focuses fairly quickly. Overall, i cannot be happier with it. I highly recommend for any hobbyist, casual photographer. if you do this for a living, then yeah you may want to look elsewhere. ... show more

Tamron AF 70-200mm f/2.8 Di LD IF Macro Lens with Build in Motor for Nikon
This review is for a Tamron AF 70-200mm f/2.8 Di LD IF Macro Lens with Build in Motor for Nikon. My camera is a Nikon D5000.I have used the kit lens until now and wish I had started out with a f2.8! I highly recommend paying the extra money for the better lens!!! It is an awesome lens! It is a bit heavy expecially after you use it a while but SO worth it! For portrait pictures it is good for close up head shots but tends to focus on random items around the area you are focusing on for full body. The Macro is amazing! Detail on small insects that can't be seen with any detail when you are looked at it with your eye, can be seen plain in the photos (hairs on a catepillar's legs and on the leaf it was on). The levels on the photos have not needed to be tweeked at all. I do not regret this purchase and would recommend it to anyone! Again it is a bit heavy but so worth it! I have had it about 2 weeks now and have only taken about 500 picture with it so far so it is really not even broken in yet. So far I really like it!! ... show more

Other reviews here are correct
(UPDATE, June 2016) It broke, out of the blue. I did not drop it or anything. Tamron said it would be a $300 repair. I threw it away. It was a poor lens anyway, just too slow, so slow! to focus. (Original review) I agree with many of the other reviews, this is a good value but the focus is slow to grab a target. One work around is to focus manual if the lens starts to focus-hunt. You can switch to manual focus instantly by pulling back on the large focus ring. This takes practice. I shoot mainly sports, I find myself manualy focusing with this lens on any football long pass play or anytime I want to pull an individual subject out of a crowd of players. The focus is the only issue here, the lens seems robust, it is lighter than the Nikon 80-200 2.8 which I also own, and the images seem a little sharper. I had to get the Tamron beause my Nikon 2.8 80-200 wont take the new Nikon cameras (i.e.D3100) which require motorized lenses. The autofocus on this lens does not seem to shorten battery life to any significant degree. Please note: I havent used this lens in cold weather yet, when I do I will update this review if there are issues. ... show more

I waited a few months before writing this review. I wanted to make sure I had plenty of time to test and evaluate my new Tamron 70-200mm f2.8 zoom lens. I wanted to compare it against the newest Sigma 70-200mm zoom, which is 2x the costs. I ordered the Sigma, tested it for about 3 days, and returned to Amazon after sub-par results for the money. I basically saw no benefit or difference when using the optical stabilization, which is what you are paying for on the Sigma lens. I sent the Sigma back and ordered the Tamron. What I found was amazing. Yes, the Tamron lens is HUGE, and about 2x the bulk of the Sigma. It is a fair trade-off for the difference in picture quality and the lower costs. I found the Tamron shots much sharper, and superior to the Sigma. I also found the bokeh to be superior on the Tamron shots. I realized that I could take low light shots with the Tamron just as effectively without OS. With the larger glass and f2.8, I found OS to be unnecessary. I don't miss it at all, and I am very glad I saved $700 and went with the Tamron. If you are looking for a low f-stop zoom to complement your lens collection, I highly recommend the Tamron for it's costs-to-value ratio. ... show more
