Description

The new SP70-200mm F/2. 8 G2 (Model A025) telephoto lens reimagines the highly acclaimed Model A009 with enhanced optical performance, improved VC (Vibration Compensation), faster AF speed and accuracy, and shortened MOD (Minimum Object Distance) for greater flexibility. What’s more, compatibility with Tamron tele converters provides additional focal length. In keeping with the SP series’ innovative technology, the lens is designed to be durable, flexible and resilient enough to rise to any occasion. Every aspect of the SP 70-200mm F/2. 8 G2 (Model A025) zoom has been improved, providing high image quality and enhanced bokeh throughout. Optical design features include XLD (extra Low Dispersion) and LD (Low Dispersion) glass to eliminate chromatic aberrations across the entire zoom range, ensuring optimum resolution― even at the edges. band Coating designed exclusively for this new zoom offers superior anti- reflection properties, greatly minimizing flare and ghosting. And refined bokeh provides spectacular background effects from nearly any angle. Tamron’s best-in-class VC image stabilization performance is equivalent to 5 stops, according to CIPA standards. Plus, this lens offers a choice of three VC modes, including one exclusively for panning. Now you can match the VC mode to your shooting conditions and enjoy sharp, jitter-free handheld shooting―even in low light. Among 70-200mm F/2. 8 interchangeable lenses for full-frame DSLR cameras.

  • Possibly sharper than my 100-400 II
Style: Lens Only
I was reading some reviews of this lens, and a couple people were throwing around the term tack sharp. I have the G2 Version of Tamron's 150-600, and it's definitely not as sharp as my Canon 100-400 II, so I didn't necessarily place much faith in the claims of the reviews. I was curious, though, so I figured I could return it if I wasn't satisfied. Well, I have to give Tamron credit for this lens. It's very sharp, approaching the sharpness of my Pentax K-70 and new 55-300 combo (the K-70 has no low-pass filter, and those two make for the sharpest setup I've ever used). The depth of field is a blessing and a curse, being razor thin at these focal lengths, so I need to practice that some more, but that's no fault of the lens. It's pretty heavy, close to that of the 100-400, so that will take some acclimation. Autofocus is very fast and virtually silent, although perhaps not *quite* as fast as the Canon lens. The manual override is a very nice feature, and the focus ring is buttery smooth. The zoom ring is not quite as nice, but still works fine. I have a 7D Mark II, and I figured that because of its low-pass filter, and other factors, I just resigned myself to its less than staggeringly sharp output. But with this lens, I've been proven wrong, and I know now that the 7D is capable of some very sharp images, indeed. I haven't tried either version of Canon's 70-200, and I only tried Sigma's version briefly (it seemed pretty sharp, though), but if you're looking for a 70-200, and your budget won't quite allow for L glass, the Tamron is a killer alternative. ... show more

  • Wonderful lens... with two quirks
Style: Lens Only
Excellent lens as far as image quality and I'll start by saying I love this lens, but two things to watch out for. First, my version of the lens needed A LOT of micro adjustment to focus on the right spot, which I read was common with this lens. If you aren't familiar with the process, read up on microadjustment and do it with this lens to get the most out of it. The lens was focusing almost 2" in front of where it was supposed to consistanly before the adjustment. I second-shot a whole wedding like this and was initially disappointed with the lens. I did the adjustment and it has been amazing ever since, made a huge difference. This lens by far needed more adjustment than any of my other lenses. Second issue is that the MF/AF and VC buttons are in a horrible location and not recessed enough if you use a sling strap, so I promise that you will repeatedly accidentally switch it to MF or turn VC off when you don't want to, and will miss an occasional shot because it isn't autofocusing when you expect it to. Again, I read this was a problem and can confirm that it is. All things considered, this is a wonderful lens, focuses fast, very sharp after the micro adjustment, and is my new workhorse lens. As annoying as the button issue is, it is still well worth the savings from the Canon version of this lens, highly recommend this lens. ... show more

I only use 3 lenses, I'm not rich and if ur smart 3 and broke like me, this is one of the ones I need. Anyway this one is one of my favorite lenses, it's a great alternative for canons expensive white 70mm-200mm... This is my second Tamron lens, the other one was an older model. And its amazing, never given me problems. Not to mention my old model was used. ... show more

  • Stellar image quality and performance
Style: Lens Only
Meets or exceeds the Canon equivalent in every way. Crisp images with nice background separation at f2.8. AF is fast and quiet. VC (stabilization) works as advertised providing easy hand holding at 200mm down to 1/30s or slower if you have steady hands. Personally, I boost ISO and increase shutter speed before trying to shoot that slow since at that point I'm more concerned with subject movement than camera shake. The build quality of this latest generation of Tamron lenses is superb. This is a real pleasure to hold and work with for hours. Focus and zoom rings are smooth and well damped. The barrel finish is beautiful. One thing I have noted is that the AF and VC control switches seem to be more easily knocked out of position than the similar function switches on my Canons. I think this is partly due to the Tamron switches having slightly less resistance and possibly being slightly more exposed compared to the Canon switches. This has caused my to unexpectedly find myself shooting in manual focus mode after I had apparently moved the AF/MF switch while either carrying or unbagging the Tamron. An integrated Arca mount plate is awesome. Thank you Tamron. ... show more

  • Big fan of this lens...
Style: Lens Only
So far, this lens has been fantastic. I was a little wary of a new brand added to my bag, but I was quickly over it once I saw the photos it produced. Hope it holds up and it becomes my night sports workhorse.

  • Built like a tank!
Style: Lens Only
The lens is amazing and very well built, it is comparable to the Canon zoom but at a better price point.. Though I will do some still photography using my new Lumix S1R I am mostly interested in doing video with this set up. I bought the Sigma Adaptor from Leica cam mount to Canon EF mount because all my other lenses are Canon compatible. ... show more

  • Excellent
Style: Lens Only
I can't speak about the lens in depth, as this is the first $$$ lens that I have purchased. I'm just your average hobby photographer. However, I've thoroughly enjoyed using this lens. The VC works WONDERFULLY. It's like magic. Seriously. The only downside for me is the location of the buttons on the lens (left side). It's easy to accidentally hit them (i.e. turn off VC) while shooting (I am right hand dominant). The lens focus dials also roate in the opposite direction as my Canon lenses. That's nothing huge for me, but it does take a little getting used to. This lens is also HEAVY. But again, this is my first lens of this sort, so I can't say if it's heavier than Canon's 70-200mm lens. All in all, I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. ... show more
