Pros: Image quality, TA sharpness, weight and size, programmable keys, stabilization

Cons: I would say the absence of internal zoom, to be picky also the absence of a tripod ring and a carrying bag

Opinion: Fantastic lens, a really small footprint, a weight that does not bother for an excellent build quality and sharpness already at full aperture. The addition of stabilization compared to the previous version is a great plus, it allows you to shoot without too much effort even at 1/20-1/30. At 20mm less travel you get used to it, especially after you realize how much lighter and more bearable it is after long sessions. A very pleasant feature that further increases its versatility is the focusing distance, only 30cm at 70mm, excellent for arranging even some macros. Effective, silent and undisappointing autofocus, tropicalized body, 67mm filters, button to lock the zoom when closed, really overall a fantastic lens, considering the purchase price of about 950 used as new in April 2025. Certainly the counterparts sigma and sony have an edge, but it is difficult to justify them due to the difference in price. At the same cost there is the sony 70-200 f/4 which, in addition to losing at the start against the f2.8 of the tamron, at full aperture gives images in my opinion quite painful for the purchase price, with fairly poor sharpness especially on denser sensors of megapixels. Having been my first telehandler at sony, I am happy to have changed it for this tamron that satisfied me from every point of view, I recommend it to anyone who does not want to make extra expenses for sigma or sony

Pros: For Nikon Z, sharp immediately at full aperture, light and stabilized.

Cons: The miracle would have been to have an internal zoom!

Opinion: Taken to complete the Z50II with the 16-50 2.8 I wanted to always support it with a light but bright lens. (the 50-250 splendid in the center but too dark and deficient at the edges). The Tamron 70-180 2.8 G2 is a FF recently presented with Z mount according to the reviews said it was sharper and faster and complete with stabilization than the previous one. Tested in the field, on FF, it proved to be really concrete and with a surprising sharpness very, very close to the nikon 70-200 Z already at 2.8 and also at the edges, I don't know how they did it and make it all fit in such a small space but the sharpness is there, the Bokeh is also beautiful, but it is still a zoom, and above all I found a very silent and very fast AF. It holds up very well on both the small Z50II and the Z8, indeed in FF it opened up a world of portability for me with its 855g. With the same focal length, the Nikon magnifies a little more. The backlit behavior holds up very well and the absence of chromatic aberration surprises me even more. A small miracle that could have been total if the zoom had been internal. Not to be overlooked is the possibility of focusing at 70 mm very close. I didn't like Tamron's firmware management, which wasn't entirely clear and not very compatible with Mac. Rating 9.7

Pros: Blurred, colors, image quality (for what it costs), stabilization, keys to program, lightness and size

Cons: to date nothing

Opinion: I haven't used it for a long time, but before him I had several of 70-200, from Canon to Nikon and then to the Sony 70-200 G first series and honestly all this difference, compared to the costs, I can not see it, it is true 20 mm are missing from the focal length 200 but you don't even notice, while you pay attention to the weights, The quality is excellent, always compared to other models that cost 3 times as much. In a wedding that lasts at least 12 hours, you feel... well if you feel the difference at the end of the day, when I used the Canon 70-200 2.8 the arms asked for forgiveness, and then realized that the commissioners of the work, you could see the photos from the cell phone or at most to the IPAD, and all this quality goes to be blessed. Paid new not even 1000 euros and it is worth them all, at least for me.

Pros: Blurry, fast af, nice colors, more than reasonable size and weights view aperture and excursion, stabilized, 67cm filter

Cons: It is not parfocal

Opinion: I've had this lens for more than a year, I don't use it much because I'm more 50mm and for convenience I often take the 85mm sony 1.8 behind me, but when I use this 70-180 2.8 I'm always very satisfied with the image quality and colors. For portraiture it is really excellent, for me it makes it quite useless to go and get fixed lenses longer than 85mm. The AF is very fast and accurate, compared to that of the Sony 70-200 f4 G2, the Sony is a little faster, but the Tamron is sufficiently performing even in "sporty" situations, on portraiture obvious being 2.8 wins. the 67 filter makes it easy to have filters shared with other lenses being the most common size Lens that I recommend just over 1000€ new official Italian is really an excellent price, surely the GM2 sony or the analogues canon /nikon will be better but double prices and much higher weights, which in my case as an amateur I do not find justified

Pros: Compact, top image quality, minimal extension, customizations

Cons: Trifles

Opinion: I use it mainly for sports, on Sony A6700. Simply perfect image quality from full aperture, quite compact, it extends little when zoomed, it is tropicalized, it is customizable from the app, in short, there is not much to say, it is perfect. I would have liked it to be unlocked simply by turning the ring, but we are really at a small thing.
