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.

    • Great Lens for the Money
Set: Lens Only
I was looking to get this legendary focal length to shoot sports, and left with the age old predicament: do I get the more costly Nikon version? Or get the cheaper Tamron? When I got into photography the Tamron 150-600mm was one of my first lenses, and I absolutely love it. The IQ is good, pictures come out sharp and vibrant. So based on this, I knew Tamron produced some good telephoto lenses. The Nikon version f/2.8G used in good/great condition sells for around what this Tamron is new. I watched so many videos comparing lenses but what I kept coming back to was, even if there was slightly less IQ and AF speed in the Tamron, for the same price I'm getting a high quality lens from a company I trust, with a 6 year manufacturers warranty. It's hard to beat that just for the slight bump in IQ and AF of the Nikon. I've been using this lens for around 2-3 weeks now and ended up buying a second for my wife. The lens is awesome! Unless you are a professional, this lens is the best bet to get what you need! I consistently yield sharp, crispy pictures that stun my viewers (work with a lot of sports moms). I've been able to gain tons of attention and network farther than I ever thought, in a shorter time frame than I could ever have imagined, thanks to what this lens enables me to do. If you're not familiar with these types of high quality, wide aperture lenses, be warned that they are heavy! Much heavier than kit lenses or smaller primes. Make sure you know what you're getting into as a full frame DSLR + battery grip + this lens will easily weigh upwards of 7-10lbs. May not seem like much but after shooting for 30-60mins your arms may not still agree about it not being much! I use a monopod with a Wimberley monogimbal head when I have to stand with this thing for a long time. I've shot on straps too, and think a harness would make it easier. It's far from a deal breaker and not even much of an issue for me personally, but my wife struggled with the lens at first due to the weight. All in all, highly recommend this lens! For what it is, I'd give it a 99 out of 100. What is that 1 point, you ask? The buttons on the side of the lens are way, way too easy to move. Most lenses I've seen have oval, wider buttons that are strong and don't easily get flipped. This Tamron has these ribbed buttons that move up and down, so if you accidentally brush them with your hand or body you can easily change settings and mess up shots! Just something to get used to. ... show more

    • Stunning lens. Perfect.
Set: Lens Only
I've had hits and misses with Tamron and Sigma lenses in the past. I did not like the previous Tamron 24-70, but I thought my Tamron 70-300 was a great value. The second I put my new Tamron 70-200 G2 lens on my D800, I knew I had something special. It was just *sharp* and the color rendition was as good as any Nikon. (Note, I think most Tamrons are ever so slightly warmer than most Nikons). The next thing I noticed was that the autofocus was accurate and fast. This was my biggest worry -- I read enough good reviews about this lens that I assumed it would be sharp, but I wasn't so sure about the autofocus quality. Then, I received my D850, and this lens was the first thing I put on it. Again. Wow. Stunning sharpness. This lens was not holding the D850 back at all. And, autofocus speed was noticeably faster than on the D800. Pros: Incredibly sharp Excellent color rendition Fast and accurate autofocus Attractive, simple body/design Focus and zoom rings feel good and work smoothly Cons: None ... show more

    • On Par with the Nikon 70-200 E FL, which I Tested
Set: Lens Only
As with many Nikon users taking a serious look at this Tamron G2 lens and the Nikon FL, I researched to gain insight as to relative performance of these two lenses, deciding whether or not I should go with the $1300 Tamron or fork up the $2800 for the new Nikon E FL, anticipating that I would not buy another 70-200 f/2.8 for years to come. As an aside, I own an A7RII and an A6500, for which I have some of the best glass. The 90mm macro and 55 f/1.8 are razor sharp lenses, by the way. I was willing to buy the 70-200 Master ($2600), for which I would use to shoot/video action in low light conditions. But that lens on those two top-of-the-line Sony bodies has way too many autofocus issues. The Sony 70-200GMaster, which I tested, is pretty sharp, but what use is a 2.8 telephoto that can't focus in low light conditions? You're better off just getting the Sony 70-200 f/4, which, given the Sony 70-200 f/2.8's poor low light performance, would basically give you the same performance in a lighter less expensive body. I just throw my 55f/1.8 and zoom by foot to cover the 70-100mm range on my A6500 and throw the 90mm macro on the same to cover the 130+ range. Remember, the 200mm on the Sony 70-200mm is more like a 150mm due to focus breathing. In any case, due its poor low light performance, the Sony was disqualified, even though I prefer Sony for still photography and video. Back to the Tamron 70-200 G2 and the 70-200mm Nikon E FL: I went to a local camera store which sells and rents all the top-of-the-line lenses. There I hooked up the 70-200mm Nikon FL to my Nikon D750. To my 20-15 pixel-peeping eyes, the Nikon FL seems to have slightly, and I mean SLIGHTLY, better sharpness wide open in the center of the frame and better magnification--i.e., less focus breathing. While in the store, I took dozens upon dozens of wide open photos at 70, 85, 100, 130, 170, and 200mm and compared them in Lightroom to photos of the 70-200mm Tamron G2 and the Sony 70-200mm GMaster, which I only attached to my A6500. I understand the Master would have been sharper on my A7RII, but both cameras use the latest versions of 24mp+- CMOS sensors, making the comparisons somewhat on par, I guesstimate. Plus, the poor focusing of the Sony, which was validated on my A6500, disqualifies that lens for action photography or other forms of low light photography. IMHO, the new Nikon FL, which I was willing to buy in a split second were it as sharp as some say, is not worth $1500 more than the Tamron G2. I wouldn't pay $1800 for that lens, especially now that I've tested the Tamron G2, which is basically the SAME LENS. REALLY. For its slight increase in center sharpness and decrease in focus breathing, the new Nikon may be worth $250 more, IMO, as the slight edge in center sharpness is truly negligible. In fact, I would have instantly either suffered from buyers remorse after purchasing the Nikon FL or rationalized/validated the purchase of it by convincing myself that its worth every penny to suppress buyers remorse. That lens is not worth $3000 and neither is the Sony 70-200 GMaster. If the Tamron were not as good as the Nikon, then the Nikon may be worth $3k; but the Tamron is as good as the Nikon, maybe even better, if you look at the totality of the lens, not just it's center sharpness. Let me tell you why. The Tamron SP 70-200 G2 is just as sharp. I tell you no lie. But that's more or less to be expected. IMO, all the 70-200 f/2,8 and F/4's are pretty much as sharp as the other. You have to really pixel peep to see the difference. Where they distinguish themselves is in their low light performance--wide open. That's what you pay the big bucks for. What is good low light performance on a lens? It's the ability to quickly find focus in low light conditions. The camera is responsible for the ISO performance, not the lens. And when it comes to the low light performance of the Tamron G2: Absolutely Awesome Low Light Performance. On my D750, the Tamron G2 acquires focus instantaneously. To be fair, the Nikon FL acquired focus instantaneously on my D750, as well. Both the Tamron G2 and the Nikon FL acquire focus instantaneously on my D750. It is truly truly remarkable. Having said that, the Tamron does so for $1500 less. It's sort of like clothes shopping. The name brand item is better than the generic brand, 90% of the time. But sometimes it isn't. In this case, the name brand Nikon is only slightly better than the reverse-engineered Tamron, but the difference is truly negligible, unless you pixel peep on Lightroom in 100% crop mode. And that's only in the very center of the frame, looking at an eyelash or the microscopic hairs on the persons nose. Fresh out-of-the-box, my Tamron G2 instantly focuses on anything I point it at, less a plain white wall or some other contrast-less thing. But all lenses do that. And no, I did not hook up the Tap-in-Console to achieve that level of focus acquisition. In a nutshell, the sharpness, focus acquisition, lens stabilization, seeming build quality, and warranty of the two lenses is virtually identical. The Nikon is lighter, seems to be a tad bit brighter, and the focus rings are smoother, but that's it. $1500 more for that? Not me. Instead of paying about $3k for the Nikon or Sony, I bought the Tamron G2 and the D750--all brand new for $3100 or the same price you will pay if you buy the Nikon locally and pay tax. If you buy online, make sure to buy from a reputable dealer like Amazon, B&H, or Adorama. I wouldn't risk any open-box or used copies of any of these lenses, given the QC issues reported. What's more, both lenses are said to have quality control issues. However, both lenses come with extended warranties, and Tamron even went so far as to develop a Tap-in Console, enabling fine-tunings. I highly recommend the Tamron SP 70-200mm G2. Update: The lens is still performing very well, and I received a $200 Rebate check from Tamron because I qualified for the Student Rebate, per the Tamron Website. ... show more

This lens is a serious Professional Shooter, even at f2.8 its sharp. Built like a tank and very good weather resistant seals, equal to Nikon and Cannon. You don't haft to be afraid to take it out when its snowing to get some excellent shots. Very nice lens hood. Bottom line its a work horse and ready for what ever conditions your in. Compared to Nikon and Cannon, It will equal or better in some cases and be nice to your wallet. Tamron went all out on this lens to compete and make a name for them selves in the Professional arena. It focus's fast in low light and its spot on, shots are excellent even at f2.8, this is where it nudges ahead of the Nikon lens. The sweat spot is f4 to f8 The back ground blur is buttery smooth. With this 6 year warranty, its a winner. You must register this lens with Tamron to get your warranty. Very professional by Tamron, they really seem to take things to the next level. ... show more

I was looking to replace an older, mechanically deficient 80-200, f/2.8 Nikkor which would "jam" up between manual and auto focus & miss the photo. (I like the old lens, but just not worth the cost to fix it). Thus, my shopping began. I was interested in the Nikon 70-200, f/2.8 E (newest lens), but couldn't hope to afford it at more than $2,500.I looked at used 70-200 VRII and Sigma and earlier Tamron 70-200 f/2.8 offerings. Fortunately, I was able to find this US warranty (6 years!) version at the suggested RETAIL, NOT INFLATED price via Cameta Camera here on Amazon. (an aside: Cameta doesn't collect state tax outside NY, I think vs. Amazon does in several states. Also, Cameta was obliterated in NY with winter storm at time I was ordering lens, so when they could dig out, they expedited shipment. thank you!) It's a beautiful lens. feels well made. The footplate/tripod ring (?) seems very stable, but easy to remove, put back on. I can hand-hold it, but does get heavy after awhile, so I plan to use with a monopod when doing prolonged shooting (e.g. soccer game). I was looking for lens to capture sporting events: yeah, it's a tad short for field work: Soccer, football, baseball- but i hope to use w/ DX (crop-sized sensor) camera --D7200-- to extend focal length, so to speak. Also, plan to use with a teleconverter (TC); FYI, the "Tamron SP" 1.4 X TC I already own doesn't work with this lens, so, I will save my lunch money and hopefully buy the newer 1.4X XT model TC in the near future. Also, I use a different quick - release system, so I had to buy an inexpensive "arca- style" baseplate to attach to a ballhead for monopod use. FYI the "Andoer adapter plate" ($12 here on Amazon) works great. link: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RK2DSIM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I hope to add photos; I work off different computers & the photos are elsewhere. Let me at least talk about the process: I photo events, sports, wildlife, especially hummingbirds- so I need quick AF. THIS IT DOES! as quick as my Nikkor 300m F/4; quicker than the 70-300 f/4.5-5.6 zoom. The focus seems to be spot on. especially using the D750 (FX). I'm wondering if there is a slight focus, softening with the D7200 (DX); will need to set up AF test & double check. I also appreciate that I can focus close by, under 3 ft. That was important for me. I'm sure I'm forgetting to mention something, so if any questions, I can try to reply. now go find photos... FYI: "concert" photos with FX D750; bird, outdoor/pond photos with DX D7200 lens. ... show more

    • Stunning lens - love it with my D850 and Z6 (after firmware update)
Set: Lens Only
I've gone through a lot of 70-200's, and this is probably my favorite - it's just an all around really amazing lens - quick, accurate, and sharp. The 3 VR/VC modes are really nice to choose from, too, and they actually work - I can handheld at 1/30th of a second and still get a sharp photograph, shockingly! I was super bummed when it didn't work with the new Nikon Z6 at first, but then I saw there was a firmware update for the lens - you just need to purchase the additional Tamron Tap-in usb dock/console thing - it's a quick update and it now works with my Z6. Overall one of my favorite lenses! Tamron has really been stepping it up! The lenses don't feel as professional as others, but they're good enough, and the optics are just stunning and accurate. ... show more

    • Where's this lens been my whole life ?
Set: Lens Only
Excellent lens price/quality vs the price for the same Nikon lens in my opinion. I bought this lens for a Nikon Z6 using the FTZ adapter. I would rate this overall transaction 5 stars but it took a couple of hoops to jump through to register the lens for warranty with Tamron. Initially upon contacting Tamron they were able to verify the serial number but they informed me that the retailer had not registered it. I thought this was a gray market purchase from an unauthorized Tamron USA dealer and I was ready to return the lens because if I'm spending this kind of money on a lens I want a 6 year warranty. I called Amazon customer service and they conference called with Tamron and the problem was solved. I was able to register the lens for the 6 year warranty. I haven't fully field tested this lens yet, but I am excited to do so as my initial testing around the yard has shown very satisfying results. I bought this lens primarily for portrait photography. Very pleased with the quality of this lens. Highly recommend for anyone looking to purchase this lens. ... show more

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've had my Tamron for about a full 2 months, and here is what I found. + The focus is fast, even at night + The photos are sharp, 97% of the time, and at night time, I get 9/10 sharp photos as well. + The options for image stabilization are great, learn when to use them. + The lens feels well built, sturdy, and it is heavy, but that comes with the territory. +/- The Image stabilization buttons might get flicked on/off in a while, but it's not a deal-breaker in my opinion. - I honestly don't know where i nicked my lens, but after my national park visits in Utah, I had a nick, and I take good care of them, so if i had to say anything, be a little more careful, it might seem like the lens could easily be scratched, but that is my only gripe. ** Overall for the price and the insurance that i now have for 3 years, you can't beat this price!! ... show more
