A popular lens choice for full-frame camera users is the 24-70mm f/2.8 optic, because its range covers general use and the fast aperture is constant throughout the entire focal range. Indeed, most camera retailers recommend it as the lens to buy with a fu...
Image stabilisation is deemed surplus by many in a lens like this, but I find it useful for low-light work as it increases the versatility of this high-quality, general-purpose optic. Build quality is good, although I would like to see a couple of tweaks...

The Tamron lens, with an f/2.8 constant maximum aperture, is in the category of ''standard'' zoom for a full-frame DSLR. It can be used on a reduced-sensor APS camera, where the focal lengths then become 36mm-105mm. Optical performance improves on an APS camera because of the reduced circle of illumination - the sensor captures the sweet spot in the centre of the image...
Canon, Nikon and Sigma all make lenses similar to this one. It is a versatile event lens, useful for weddings and parties where a quick change of focal length is more important than pin-sharp edges. They seem to work best, with reasonable sharpness and r...

Auto focus lives up to the promise in the advertising. It is lightning fast and completely silent. Optical performance is generally good, with reservations about edge sharpness and distortion. Used judiciously the lens produces excellent images with sligh...
The barrel distortion at wideangle and pincushion distortion at 70mm is obvious. However this is characteristic of this category of lens. You wouldn't use it for architecture...

The Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD is distinguished by being the first fast standard zoom for full frame cameras to include optical image stabilization. The fact that it does so in a design that includes a ring-type ultrasonic motor for fast, silen...

The difference between a “constant” aperture zoom and other standard zooms is that when you increase the focal length on the standard zoom the maximum aperture narrows. This might make the difference between being able to hand hold or not when zoomin...
And RecommendationsThis Tamron 24-70mm F/2.8 VC lens features moisture-resistant construction and, judging by the build, feel, performance, and price, clearly aims at serious users. Vibration Compensation was especially noteworthy, delivering consiste...

When it comes to third-party lenses, the two companies photographers are probably most familiar with are Tamron and Sigma. Though these brands might not conjure the same kind of dewy-eyed respect that actual Canon L-series lenses or top-of-the-line Nikkor...
Solid but lightweight professionalgrade build, Vibration Compensation helps for shooting at slower shutter speeds in low light, fast, virtually silent focusing, great resolving power and excellent image quality results...
A step slower focusing in low light than Canon's comparable lens, zoom ring is stiff and slow to turn, some falloff in corner sharpness at 24mm...
If you can get over whatever reservations you might have about third-party lenses, the Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD is definitely worth a look. It's a well-crafted, professional-grade lens in a very popular zoom length/aperture that could very easily...

The Tamron SP 24–70 mm f/2.8 Di VC USD, although less expensive than its brand name competitors produced by Canon, Nikon or Sony, is not cheap at all because you must pay for it over 4,000 PLN. It is by 1,000 PLN more expensive than the Sigma 24-70 mm f/2...

Tamron's new full-frame high-speed standard zoom won plaudits for its high image quality and balance of features for the price. However, while the Sony Alpha mount version similarly includes an ultrasonic type AF motor, it doesn't have the optical stabili...
As you might expect, the Tamron performs similarly to the Canon and Nikon mount versions with the only real difference in scores being influenced by the sensor. While the Sony mount version has similar sharpness levels to the Canon mount version it's impo...
