Pros: Sharpness, autofocus (nikon), stabilization, construction, price.

Cons: ASSISTANCE, backlight rendering, swinging switches, weight.

Opinion: I write my opinion out of time after six years of use and tens of thousands of shots. I came to this lens in 2018 for professional needs on a Nikon system after switching to the 36 megapixel sensor and experiencing serious AF and micro-blur difficulties with non-stabilized lenses (I used G 1.8 fixeds) in dynamic contexts such as events. What can I say... once engaged I turned. This makes like 24, 28, 35, 50 fixed with good f2.8 apertures and from f4 there is nothing to say, pixel-sharp. At 70mm there is a slight failure in sharpness and contrast as it is obvious, you have to close an extra stop to match with the other focal lengths, but it remains perfectly usable and it is a behavior that in the portrait can also be desirable. The stabilization works very well and is essential to get the most out of the most pixelated bodies at all focal lengths, in addition to the clear advantage in low-light and slow shutter speeds. The blur is always great for a zoom from 24 to 70, perhaps thanks to the slow 82. The colors on Nikon are a bit greenish but it compensates, it suffers A LOT from backlighting, if the direct sun gets inside, the photo is often to be thrown away, you just need to know it. The construction is very good, in several years of fairly heavy use it has never given up anything (see below), the finish is still very beautiful and the tropicalization has done its job on several occasions. On the downside of the body, the exposed AF and VR switches that you can turn off by keeping the camera on your side, you have to be careful enough to avoid nasty surprises that are easy to imagine. Given its size and granite weight, I use it exclusively for "professional" outings. Sunday outings, trekking and travel are not really his area, also because he "likes" larger bodies for optimal balance. On my 3 FF reflex cameras the autofocus is a certainty, never calibrated in 6 years and it goes better than all the other lenses I have tried in many years. If I have to shoot an unrepeatable moment, I use him. What else can I say? Surely it will be a lucky copy but mine is doing so well that it has definitively killed every type of monkey in this focal range for years, practically it is keeping me in Reflex well beyond the maximum time, since to find similar performance and consistency I think I should go to Z8 and 24-70S. The downside, quite disappointing, is for me the assistance of the house. I requested a simple spare part for a "road accident", the filter ring on which the lens hood is grafted that has broken following a side impact on the lens hood. The mechanics have not made a crease, the construction is well done because the lens hood "discharges" the shocks on the fragile ring saving the internal movements, BUT the spare part is not available: they supplied it only after shipment in official assistance in Germany with general control and a lot of money. I had to solve with the attack so treat these Tamrons well.

Pros: Sharpness at all focal lengths, stabilizer, autofocus, hardness of the rings, tropicalization, blur, used price, vignetting at f/2.8

Cons: Hood a bit bulky, 82mm filters, weight (you can not have everything in life), slightly tending to red (easy to remove in post production). Every 2 years the focus must be calibrated.

Opinion: A lens that I have been using for 5 years, inevitable, the basic objective to all the work done at parties, concerts, etc. Simple, effective and efficient goal. The return of colors is not impeccable, always a reddish touch too, wrapped does not even mind, but most of the time I have to decrease it by force. Weight can become a problem after a full day of shooting, for long half-day jobs I don't even feel it. Excellent and quiet stabilizer, fast focus and no frills. The rings are rubbed in a very good way, but they do not make me crazy when they are wet, they harden too much. Tropicalization also excellent, if it was not tropicalized I had burned it about twenty times, brought under water a lot of times, even in pouring rain, it always worked at its best. The fact that every 2 years the focus must be calibrated is a breaking of boxes, but it has so many merits that I can safely ignore the "mandatory calibration". I don't mind the distortion and neither does the vignetting, on the contrary ... I consider vignetting a plus point, I really like it as an effect. It is a lens that I will carry on until it explodes or falls into a ravine, otherwise I will never take it out of my hands.

Pros: It's almost perfect

Cons: 24mm barrel distortion a bit annoying for videos

Opinion: I bought this lens as a "jack of all trades" since for landscapes I have a dedicated wide angle and I have a canvas for naturalistics. I needed to cover this focal length for both photos and videos and this lens turned out to be a masterpiece. Very good stabilization for videos and photos (I changed the settings with the Tamron tap-in console and I set the stabilization in video mode), clear lens already from 2.8 and practically perfect from f / 4 at all focal lengths. Very nice blurred, even with complicated backgrounds, very reliable and precise focus, it needed to be micro adjusted just a minimum but it was already almost perfect as an exit from the box. It has beautiful colors, for me that I do not have time to do color grading in post for videos pulls me out excellent colors both on complexions and landscapes, holds up well the backlight and has a beautiful sunstar. Defects? The distortion at 24mm is a bit annoying, in the photos it is easily corrected but in the videos it is annoying especially if there are horizontal lines that make it evident, even if it disappears already from 28/30mm. I have not tried the Canon, I know that as sharpness should be superior, but this lens, for what it costs, with excellent stabilization, excellent construction, very fast and silent AF even for videos is practically a must, it gave me great satisfaction both in videos and night photos, in landscape, in short, I would buy it again. Highly recommended!

Pros: Stabilization, brightness, solidity

Cons: nothing

Opinion: I feel very well. Its controls are solid, positioned in the classic points where you expect them. It has a good weight but does not bother. It is very bright and does not make strange noises. I did not need special calibrations on the Tamron base, which I did not have to buy, the photos are always sharp, I do not find any defect. I am very happy to have saved money and to have been able to take other goals.

Pros: SHARPNESS AND COMPACTNESS, VR

Cons: ....

Opinion: EXCELLENT LENS REALLY SHARP, VERY COMPACT COMPARED TO ALL THE COMPETITION, THE WEIGHT IS ADEQUATE TO THE CHARACTERISTICS, THE OTHERS WEIGH MORE. CONSTRUCTION REALLY WELL DONE ON THE 850 DOES ITS JOB VERY WELL, I TOOK IT FOR CEREMONIES AND SHOTS IN THE STUDIO BUT I USE IT VERY WELL IN LANDSCAPE. IMPRESSIVE STABILIZER EVEN IF I NORMALLY SHOOT ABOVE THE SAFETY TIMES
