Pros: Optical performance, Reliability in use, robust construction, versatility.

Cons: Vignetting and distortion a bit high.

Opinion: Unlike those who preceded me, my experience with this lens is extremely positive. Considering that this is a zoom designed for the DSLR system, I think it is a very balanced lens, able to fully compete with the Nikon and Canon originals. Personally, I have been using it for about six years in the professional field and I have not encountered any problems, nor have I ever had the need to calibrate the m.a.f. in the car. Used with Nikon D610, D800 and Nikon D810, the sharpness is always more than excellent at each focal length, with a slight failure at 70mm on the widest aperture, and yet nothing dramatic (the subject is still very well defined). I do not exclude that this is a design choice, given that the aforementioned focal length would be deputed, in such a zoom, primarily to portraiture, where generically too pronounced engraving is not required, and in which the value of f/2.8 can be "sacrificed", in favor of greater definition at subsequent apertures (from f/4 onwards, at this focal length, the optics are always very performing). At 24mm the distortion is a bit pronounced in absolute terms, and even the maximum focal length is not exempt, although to a lesser extent. But, in both cases, it can be easily corrected via software, since the lens profile is also contained in the Adobe database. In Lightroom, for example, I keep it active, so that both this and the vignette are automatically corrected. And it works great. After all, the Nikkor 24-70 VR is also affected by light fall at the edges, and in much greater quantities ... That said, the Tamron is sturdy enough, it has an effective stabilization system, and the autofocus is definitely efficient and accurate. Frankly, I wouldn't be able to attribute any real flaws to it, except those typical of any zoom.

Pros: robustness, effective stabilization

Cons: Everything else

Opinion: Having to take photos of baptisms and communions lately and having only the Canon 24/70 f4 I opted for this brighter f2.8 lens, which I found on RCE at 500 euros in perfect condition I would say. Apart from the effort made to calibrate the MAF with the micro-adjustment on my 6D m2, I must say that it is an acceptable lens only in perfect light conditions and indoors. In these cases, good sharpness and realism of the colors are perceived. Using it for exteriors and landscapes is unthinkable. I compare its performance to the 16/35 and 24/70 f4 L series of Canon in my possession. When the light is strong or of a non-optimal direction, the colors are distorted and muddy, it suffers from flare in a distressing way and the wide side distorts considerably. The vignetting is not bad either, easily eliminated though. Using the burst the camera goes wrong, I thought it was a defect of my sample but I see that I am in good company. I found the zoom ring excessively hard and moreover with the opposite direction of operation compared to the Canon zooms (to increase the focal length you have to turn clockwise). When new, this optic cost about 900 euros. In my opinion money wasted, and also the 500 I spent. When I can I'll take the 24/70 f2.8 from Canon, used of course.. / Update after a month of intense use: I have not changed my mind regarding the use of this lens outdoors but indoors I must say that it is effective in every respect and amply compensates for its shortcomings in bright light. Contrary to what was previously stated, I think I will keep it.

Pros: Construction, focal range

Cons: everything else

Opinion: I've been following this lens for a long time, since it was immediately talked about very well. For the first time, Tamron would have gone one step further and produced a lens that was not only a replicant of inferior quality from well-known houses, but an optic that lives a life of its own, with all the trappings to be up to the most famous of this range. That may be the case, but I haven't found any of that. In a nutshell: the lens is not bad at all in optimal light conditions, it is completely lost when you have to ask it for something more, which, invariably, it does not give you. The edges are very mixed at any opening, and the unusable space is huge, not only the edges. At 24mm it distorts irretrievably in post, the stabilizer is intrusive and creates quite a few problems when shooting. In short, a great disappointment, which I will get rid of soon, to play it safe with mom Canon.

Pros: Very good sharpness and fairly fast AF

Cons: In burst shooting it makes the camera (Canon) go in block with ERR

Opinion: An excellent lens, I would say a superlative clone of the classic and super expensive 24/70 Canon at a cost of mere mortals. Used mainly in indoor sports in dimly lit gyms and in the theater, it gave me some great shots closing only at f3.5. Fast and responsive autofocus, even in less than optimal lighting conditions. As mentioned in the "cons", however, it has a very big flaw (for me): using the 5D M4 and the 6D, after 4-5 burst shots the camera locks with ERR. At first I got scared, I try to turn it off, I try to remove the battery and put it back on, it clicks again but after a few minutes the problem recurs. I try two other Canon lenses on the same cameras, everything goes wonderfully. Then going to search on the web reading other posts of other "companions in misfortune", I discovered that it is a full-blown problem of communication between software, for which there is no remedy. Either So or Pomì.. You just need to know how to adjust and it's great. Conclusion: excellent goal, as long as you are aware of the defect just described.

Pros: yield, price, stabilization

Cons: nothing

Opinion: Bought at the end of 2015 and used until a few months ago, it shows how Nikon slept on its laurels on F mount lenses. Incredibly better on everything, price included, compared to the Nikkor version, it made it easier to access the standard zoom lens par excellence without having to faint about the original. Lens with which I took more photos ever, can be used for portraits without problems if you can carry only one lens and you are not sure you have enough space to shoot with an 85mm. Despite being indicated as not compatible if adapted on Z, my copy worked quietly even on Z9 (many, however, do not work), although after 10 years the optical quality of the new lenses fortunately improved and I then sold it for a 24-120 f / 4 S. On F mount this, or the G2 version if you want to have a little more security on compatibility for a future transition to mirrorless, It remains the best choice at any price range.
