This lens is a great compatible alternative for the Canon 70-200mm f2.8 and proving very popular for the budding professional photographer.

The Tamron SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 is a telephoto zoom for Canon and Nikon DSLRs featuring a fast f/2.8 maximum aperture, optical image stabilisation, and ultrasonic autofocus. This weather-resistant lens works on both full-frame and crop-sensor (APS-C/DX) cameras, and costs £1350.

Excellent optics; Effective image stabilisation; Weather-sealed construction

Slightly soft at 70mm and f/2.8; Zoom ring not quite as smooth and precise as pricier alternatives

I love this lens! Heavy and built like a tank. Focuses quickly, accurately, and quietly. Lovely bokeh and sharp as a tack. Nothing bad to say about this wonderful lens.

A great lens. Super fast auto-focus. Congratulations to Tamron for making such a quality product.I would recommend this lens for all level of users.

I always dreamed of owning a Nikon 70-200 2.8, but the high cost kept me from making the purchase. After reading the reviews on the Tamron version of this lens, I decided to take a chance on it. I was not disappointed. This is a solid professional grade lens.

None so far

This lens is of superb built quality both physically and optically. I agree that the focusing is not as fast as the Nikon 70-200 VRII lens, but considering almost half the price, this is pretty decent. The image quality is great. The VC works almost as good as the Nikon lens.

I've read many reviews on this amazing lens for over a year now. Last Christmas,(2015), I decided to finally give myself a present! (I do have it's baby brother the 24-70 2.8, another fine lens. At first I wasn't too happy with the focussing, it seemed a bit hit and miss.

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
