Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC Usd G2 Lens for Canon
The Tamron SP 24ndash70mm f2.8 Di VC USD G2 is a versatile lens designed for both wide-angle and portrait photography. This lens fits cameras with the Canon EF mount. It has 17 optical elements in 12 groups. These elements include two extra-refractive elements three low-dispersion elements and four aspherical elements that render sharp images with reduced chromatic aberrations and spherical distortions throughout the zoom range. The eBAND and BBAR coatings applied on the lens prevent ghosting and lens flare. With the USD AF motor the lens quickly autofocuses on a subject without making too much sound. The nine-blade diaphragm provides a rounded bokeh. This lens has 5-stop Vibration Compensation image stabilization that suppresses camera shakes when shooting handheld. The lens has a moisture-resistant body as well as a fluorine coat applied on the front element.nbspYou can connect the lens to an optional TAP-In console to adjust the focus setting and update lens firmware.

Rented as I was in the market for a faster mid-zoom lens and couldn't make up my mind. I would consider myself a novice/hobbyist photographer, often working in indoor lower light without flash on fast moving subjects (pets/animals/people moving around).I have very mixed feelings on this lens on my Nikon D7100 camera. This lens has a very nice tight depth of field wide open, and maintains a nice fast F/stop even when zoomed in. At first it seemed like the results were impressive but then I noticed about half the time auto-focus was focusing much closer than where the viewfinder's selected target point was.Taking pictures of a terrarium that was about 12" deep from about 20" away, instead of focusing on the target near the back of the tank it was randomly focusing ...Ā MoreRented as I was in the market for a faster mid-zoom lens and couldn't make up my mind.

A couple times it did REALLY impressive, but most of the time it instead focused on various toys on the floor half way between me and the dog that were in the bottom edge of the frame, and I have no idea why.To try and better understand it, I set a paint can in a hallway and tried taking pictures focusing on the can at different zoom and distance positions. I couldn't quite find a pattern but again about half the time it focused on the can and half the time it focused on a random spot of flooring 1/4-1/2 closer to the camera than where I was targeting.I know with all my various Nikon lenses the focus has always been spot on target with the highlighted point in the viewfinder, and I don't understand why this lens randomly focused much closer to me than what the camera was selecting for a target. Although I enjoy adjusting some other exposure settings manually, autofocus is one of the few things I am unwilling to compromise on so the unreliability of this lens focusing where I select is a major showstopper for me. I'm glad I rented it to get solid hands-on experience in a variety of different situations, and I'm also glad I didn't spend the money on buying it.If you always use manual-focus, or do something where your photo subject stays still and you can make multiple attempts, this is a nice lens that is slightly more compact and cheaper. If you want auto-focus and take pictures that can't be easily re-tried, I wouldn't trust it.

I purchased this lens to be used on my Z6 camera (via FTZ adapter). Trying to save some money, I choose the used one, which B&H described as 9+ (very little or no wear) condition.Upon arriving I made a dozen of test shots and found all of them really noisy. The further investigation revealed the lens increases ISO almost twice. To separate the camera and adapter, I put everything on tripod, switch camera to full manual, then shot with Tamron, and Sigma 24-70/2.8 (F mount) lens (both with adapter). All photos taken with used Tamron were significantly darker. Looks like, for some unknown reason, used Tamron lens sends to camera wrong data about diaphragm opening.Unfortunately, the B&H response was offensively unfair. Even when I ship (for my expenses) that lens ...Ā MoreI purchased this lens to be used on my Z6 camera (via FTZ adapter).

I have a D810 and I had to make an AF-finetuning adjustment of +19, which I'm not thrilled about. Most of this is due to it being a 3rd party, I assume. My Nikon lenses are adjusted at +5, so probably the rest is a 3rd party lens issue. But after calibration I did a handle held test at 1/13, f2.8 and ISO 10,000 and it quickly nailed the focus on my target. Any darker and I wouldn't be able to see. After making a color temperature adjustment the shot came out surprisingly good and perfectly in focus, though a little grainy, but better than no shot at all. Also I've found no issues with the sharpness of the this lens and overall I'm pleases with my purchase. I purchased this used for $650 because seller said the optics were perfect and they are, and that's what I care ...Ā MoreI have a D810 and I had to make an AF-finetuning adjustment of +19, which I'm not thrilled about.

First time experience renting a lens and it was a wonderful idea. I was able to test out the lens and did a few extra tutorials (since Iām still new to learning my camera functions Iād say). The autofocus is great, my images turned out sharp and bright. I did have personal technical difficulties trying to work with the aperature correctly but that is me and my knowledge at this point. Other than that I was so impressed with the quality of the lens. Itās sturdy, built well, and nothing cheapy about it.
I started off with a Tamron G2 70-200 f2.8 which is hands down one of the best lenses I ever owned. A fraction of the cost of Canon without sacrificing much at all.I used to be a Panasonic m43 user and then switched to BMD Pocket 4k cameras. I am using both the Tamron lenses on a Metabones Speedbooster and they work great. I now have moved on to first a Canon M6 mk2 and now a Canon R6 mainly for the really good EF lens adapting support. Both work wonderfully and while we wait for 3rd party lens support on the Canon RF mount we have some great affordable EF options out there like the Tamrons.
Im sure I got a bad lens (four, actually!), because thereās no way the Tamron flagship lens duo (the 24-70mm and 70-200mm G2) were meant to perform this way, but alas ā and Iām not the only person whoās suffered the wrath of poor quality controlā¦The 24-70mm G2 (and itās big brother, the 70-200mm G2) have the potential of being great lens, and apparently there are a lot of āgoodā ones out there. The ones Iāve owned (and no longer do) were āwell builtā (in appearance), and āseemedā to focus fast. But the autofocus consistency was so poor on all the units that I owned that I simply could not trust the glass. These lenses have the potential of being very sharp as well, but that is the direct by-product of hitting accurate focus ā or being able to calibrate the lenses ...Ā MoreIm sure I got a bad lens (four, actually!), because thereās no way the Tamron flagship lens duo (the 24-70mm and 70-200mm G2) were meant to perform this way, but alas ā and Iām not the only person whoās suffered the wrath of poor quality controlā¦The 24-70mm G2 (and itās big brother, the 70-200mm G2) have the potential of being great lens, and apparently there are a lot of āgoodā ones out there.

These lenses have the potential of being very sharp as well, but that is the direct by-product of hitting accurate focus ā or being able to calibrate the lenses consistently, which I could not do. Each time I thought I had the lenses dialed in, Iād take them in the field and get tons of throw-aways. I was to the point that I was switching to ālesserā lenses to get the shots ā like Tamronās own 17-35mm which is a sweet lens, or their 100-400mm which was more consistent at 100-200 than the 70-200mm G2 (shame, shame, lol) ā and while typically not as sharp as the G2 lenses, when you have accurate autofocus in these other lenses, you end up keeping more shots!The first copy I got was horribly back-focused (weāre talking in feet, not inches), and no matter of Tap-in calibration was able to bring it back (and having the combine a ton of AF Fine Tune PLUS Tap-in calibration is simply unacceptable) - That unit was sent back for exchange, only for me to get one that front-focused (but not nearly as bad [read as āinchesā]). But I was able to calibrate it quite well with my SpyderLensCal as well as with Focal software. But the calibration didnāt hold as in the field I just started getting really bad shots. Re-calibrated and the lens took a different calibration. Again, tested it out in the field, and poor results.So I did some tests and concluded that this lens (as well as the 70-200mm) had issues when the focus distance changed substantially ā if I took at shot, then defocused to the rear or to the front heavily, I couldnāt get focus back on the original subject; it was either front of rear focused. If I made small changes in defocus, the lenses were fine.Then JUST recently Tamron released firmware updates which 1) changed the calibration numbers again (I reloaded my previous calibrations and they arenāt even close now), and 2) the lens seemed to actually perform worse.I spent more time trying to calibrate these lenses than I do in post processing, and thatās a problem.I hope you get a good copy if you purchase ā I didnāt (twice).
I have been using the first edition of the Nikon 24 to 120mm zoom lens for about 20 years now, and although it has been great for portraits and group gatherings, it had some annoying quirks when I used it outside for landscapes (couldn't use a petal lenshood, the horizons curved upwards, etc). So I looked at modern replacements, and the Tamron came with very positive reviews. It doesn't have the length of the old Nikkor, but it has a wider aperture, and stationary lenshood,plus VR. So I have been putting it through its paces, and I am very impressed. I would recommend it to anyone.
Save your money, buy Nikon.This lens has an unusably soft focus at f/2.8 at almost all distances. I used the TAP-in Console to try to adjust it without success. I sent it back to Tamron and they said it was repaired and sent back to me. Same issue, no change. I stuck it in my bag and haven't used it. I have a Tamron 70-200 f/2.8 G2 that works great (after minor adjustments with the TAP-In console) but after this experience, I won't be buying another Tamron.Unfortunately for me I waited too long to use it and realize the issue (I am not a pro) and can't return it. Wasted money. I won't make the mistake again.
Purchased this newer model at a great price to replace my original Tamron SP 24-70mm VC DI USD f/2.8 (G1) used on my Nikon D750 & D780. (Tamron produced the first 24-70mm Auto Focus zoom with Image Stabilization, or Vibration Reduction for Nikon.) The new version looks more modern, slightly lighter to the feel, ruggedly built, works fine in snow storms, functions similarly as the original; however, AF on the G2 seems slightly faster, especially on my D780 and on my Nikon Z cameras using the FTZ adapter. Both lenses produce similar image quality with the G2 showing sharper corners at wide open apertures. One thing I noticed is that when using the G2 for video on my D780, it seems to have greater focus breathing than the original.
I purchased this lens to replace a failing 1st gen Canon L series. Many online reviews talk about vignetting and this is absolutely a thing, fortunately, Photoshop and Lightroom can automatically correct for this and you would never know it. In comparing this lens to my 1st gen Canon 24-70 USM L; is the canon sharper - maybe,... The autofocus on the Tameron is much faster and the stabilization definitely makes a difference, especially in low light. One thing I didn't see any reviewers mention is the image tonal warmth, I'm shooting a 5D mkiii and with either of my Canon lenses the images are often very cool and need a little warming added in post. With this Tameron the images appear much warmer and sometimes I need to tone them down in post. Price versus value, I ...Ā MoreI purchased this lens to replace a failing 1st gen Canon L series.
