At £1 under a grand, the Tamron SP 70-200mm f/2.8 Di VC USD is still considerably cheaper than equivalent models from Canon, Nikon and Sony, which cost between £1600 and £2200.

Great lens
Images are very sharp! I use this lens on my Nikon D7100 and the two work perfectly together as a couple. The autofocus of this lens is of decent speed and the zooming is very smooth.

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.

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.
