Sorry Nikon
So it focus breathes more than the Nikon 70-200 2.8E FL ED and it can has a vignette starting around f4 down to 2.8. Vignette is fixed with lens profile correction in post. Focus and VC / VR for Nikon work great but I'm not sports shooter so maybe I'm not working it hard enough. Build is terrific.

Just buy it!
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.

Very pleased!
After researching this lens I decided to buy the Tamron lens. Although I have nothing to directly compare it to I have found out of the box this lens has performed very well. Same day I received it I used it for an outdoor photo session with my Nikon D650.

Amazing 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.
