Tamron SP 70-200mm f/2.8 Di VC USD Lens Review

Tamron SP 70-200mm f/2.8 Di VC USD Verdict

This telephoto zoom from Tamron certainly delivers. Sharpness is excellent from maximum aperture through much of the zoom range, plus chromatic aberrations and distortion are kept well in check. The suggested retail price may come as a shock for many, who may be expecting this lens to be considerably cheaper than lenses from camera manufacturers. Even so, the performance of this lens is on a par with those lenses, and suggested price at launch is rarely the price a lens will eventually retail for.

	The Tamron SP 70-200mm f/2.8 Di VC USD lens has excellent sharpness throughout the range in the centre as well as excellent build quality.
