Among pros, image-stabilized 70–200mm f/2.8 full-frame zooms have become must-own glass. They're in Canon ($2,499, street), Nikon ($2,397), Sigma ($1,399), and now Tamron's catalogs ($1,499), and we see them at weddings, sporting events, in portrait studios, and in backpacks.

Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 SP Di VC USD Lens Review

While the Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 Di VC USD Lens is not Tamron's first 70-200mm f/2.8 lens, it is their first version to include vibration control. VC alone is a great upgrade feature, but the upgraded image quality in this lens is also big bonus.

Everything that i had hoped it would be!

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.
Pros:
  • Fast / accurate auto-focus
  • Great in Low Light
  • Nice Bokeh
  • Strong Construction
  • Very Sharp
Cons:
  • None so far
