Description

The new SP70-200mm F/2. 8 G2 (Model A025) telephoto lens reimagines the highly acclaimed Model A009 with enhanced optical performance, improved VC (Vibration Compensation), faster AF speed and accuracy, and shortened MOD (Minimum Object Distance) for greater flexibility. What’s more, compatibility with Tamron tele converters provides additional focal length. In keeping with the SP series’ innovative technology, the lens is designed to be durable, flexible and resilient enough to rise to any occasion. Every aspect of the SP 70-200mm F/2. 8 G2 (Model A025) zoom has been improved, providing high image quality and enhanced bokeh throughout. Optical design features include XLD (extra Low Dispersion) and LD (Low Dispersion) glass to eliminate chromatic aberrations across the entire zoom range, ensuring optimum resolution― even at the edges. band Coating designed exclusively for this new zoom offers superior anti- reflection properties, greatly minimizing flare and ghosting. And refined bokeh provides spectacular background effects from nearly any angle. Tamron’s best-in-class VC image stabilization performance is equivalent to 5 stops, according to CIPA standards. Plus, this lens offers a choice of three VC modes, including one exclusively for panning. Now you can match the VC mode to your shooting conditions and enjoy sharp, jitter-free handheld shooting―even in low light. Among 70-200mm F/2. 8 interchangeable lenses for full-frame DSLR cameras.

  • Stellar image quality and performance
Style: Lens Only
Meets or exceeds the Canon equivalent in every way. Crisp images with nice background separation at f2.8. AF is fast and quiet. VC (stabilization) works as advertised providing easy hand holding at 200mm down to 1/30s or slower if you have steady hands. Personally, I boost ISO and increase shutter speed before trying to shoot that slow since at that point I'm more concerned with subject movement than camera shake. The build quality of this latest generation of Tamron lenses is superb. This is a real pleasure to hold and work with for hours. Focus and zoom rings are smooth and well damped. The barrel finish is beautiful. One thing I have noted is that the AF and VC control switches seem to be more easily knocked out of position than the similar function switches on my Canons. I think this is partly due to the Tamron switches having slightly less resistance and possibly being slightly more exposed compared to the Canon switches. This has caused my to unexpectedly find myself shooting in manual focus mode after I had apparently moved the AF/MF switch while either carrying or unbagging the Tamron. An integrated Arca mount plate is awesome. Thank you Tamron. ... show more

  • Possibly sharper than my 100-400 II
Style: Lens Only
I was reading some reviews of this lens, and a couple people were throwing around the term tack sharp. I have the G2 Version of Tamron's 150-600, and it's definitely not as sharp as my Canon 100-400 II, so I didn't necessarily place much faith in the claims of the reviews. I was curious, though, so I figured I could return it if I wasn't satisfied. Well, I have to give Tamron credit for this lens. It's very sharp, approaching the sharpness of my Pentax K-70 and new 55-300 combo (the K-70 has no low-pass filter, and those two make for the sharpest setup I've ever used). The depth of field is a blessing and a curse, being razor thin at these focal lengths, so I need to practice that some more, but that's no fault of the lens. It's pretty heavy, close to that of the 100-400, so that will take some acclimation. Autofocus is very fast and virtually silent, although perhaps not *quite* as fast as the Canon lens. The manual override is a very nice feature, and the focus ring is buttery smooth. The zoom ring is not quite as nice, but still works fine. I have a 7D Mark II, and I figured that because of its low-pass filter, and other factors, I just resigned myself to its less than staggeringly sharp output. But with this lens, I've been proven wrong, and I know now that the 7D is capable of some very sharp images, indeed. I haven't tried either version of Canon's 70-200, and I only tried Sigma's version briefly (it seemed pretty sharp, though), but if you're looking for a 70-200, and your budget won't quite allow for L glass, the Tamron is a killer alternative. ... show more

  • Love this lens
Style: Lens Only
This is a great product. Very well made with good materials. Auto Focus is fast and silent. Has good weather sealing as well. Image quality is of professional level. Definitely recommend this over Canon one to save some good money.

  • Wonderful lens... with two quirks
Style: Lens Only
Excellent lens as far as image quality and I'll start by saying I love this lens, but two things to watch out for. First, my version of the lens needed A LOT of micro adjustment to focus on the right spot, which I read was common with this lens. If you aren't familiar with the process, read up on microadjustment and do it with this lens to get the most out of it. The lens was focusing almost 2" in front of where it was supposed to consistanly before the adjustment. I second-shot a whole wedding like this and was initially disappointed with the lens. I did the adjustment and it has been amazing ever since, made a huge difference. This lens by far needed more adjustment than any of my other lenses. Second issue is that the MF/AF and VC buttons are in a horrible location and not recessed enough if you use a sling strap, so I promise that you will repeatedly accidentally switch it to MF or turn VC off when you don't want to, and will miss an occasional shot because it isn't autofocusing when you expect it to. Again, I read this was a problem and can confirm that it is. All things considered, this is a wonderful lens, focuses fast, very sharp after the micro adjustment, and is my new workhorse lens. As annoying as the button issue is, it is still well worth the savings from the Canon version of this lens, highly recommend this lens. ... show more

  • An affordable professional lens
Style: Lens Only
good lens. areas to be improved: 1. zoom ring is tight. It could have been much smoother. 2. The lens hood is of very poor quality. Also it fits poorly on the lens. Either provide a good quality lens hood or don't give at all. 3. Auto focus is fast but needs to be a lot more faster to compete canon USM Overall i am satisfied but with these improvements this would be a clear winner ... show more

  • Constantly in my rotation
Style: Lens Only
I cannot say enough good things about this lens. I have been a photographer for over a decade and this lens has constantly been in my rotation for the last few years. The images are so sharp and beautiful. I think every photographer should have a 70-200mm in their bag. The only downfall is that it is a big lens which means it can get heavy, but this is going to be the case with most lenses of this size. ... show more

  • The L glass may be better, I don't know, but the value here is insane comparatively
Style: Lens Only
It arrived tonight, and after much research it's my first EF mount lens other than the obligatory 50mm 1.8 I've purchased in a slow transition to full frame. The body it's currently being used on is a 77D. My previous telephoto was the Canon 50-250, which was very clear... in very good light. I just ran into too many issues with higher iso noise and longer shutters when light faded. This Tamron... wow. I'll know for sure tomorrow when I dump all of my test shots into Lightroom, but checking clarity on the screen on the camera, it's just amazing the sharpness I'm getting. I purposefully shot indoors, low light, iso 400, to push the image stabilization. Hand-held I was getting crisp shots on 1/5 second exposures at 200mm (300mm with the crop). ... show more
