Features & handling This lens has a very compact design, and has a good feel to its barrel. Focus and zoom controls are well designed and easy to operate. The lens is constructed from 15 elements in 13 groups and there are seven aperture blades.

So glad I made this purchase
Was torn between this or a prime lens in the 70mm range for portrait work. Chose this for the versatility of the zoom and the previous reviews that touted the sharpness of lens. It didn't disappoint. This is the sharpest lens in my arsenal.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Razor Sharp
- Rugged
- Strong Construction
- Versatile
Cons:
- Hunts in low light
- Slow Focus

Nice lens, although autofocus could be faster!
I use it on my d800. You can get nice results with f2.8, although it does back focus or soft focus sometimes, especially if you shoot few frames in a row or in a low light conditions.

90% of Canon 24-70 f/2.8 for 1/4 price
I have both this Tamron lens + my wife insisted on buying latest and greatest Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM Lens. I tested both lenses and my not very professional conclusion is: 1) their sharpness is absolutely the same except 2.8 where Canon is a bit better 2) Tamron is lighter and more compact...

Ok lens if you're willing to settle for mediocrity
I expected better image quality from this lens. To say that I am disappointed would be an understatement. I own other Tamron lenses that far exceed the optical qualities of this lens.

Nikon DSLR owners beware
This is a fast lense for sure. However, it has MAJOR focusing problems even under moderate lighting. I tried mounting it on my D5100 as well as my older D70s. Even the cheap kit lense does a marvelous job of focusing as compared to this one.

Loved this lens til I got actual canon lens
I bought actual canon lenses in other focal lengths now I am looking to replace this. There is no comparison. You do get some good images with this but not nearly as high quality. It has worked well for me for a few years. When you zoom in all the way does not focus well and extremely "soft" images.
