Pros: Stabilization, brightness, sharpness, quality of materials and the possibility of mounting filters

Cons: Weight

Opinion: When I bought this lens, I was looking for a multi-purpose lens that would accompany me even during my mountain excursions. Unfortunately the weight is felt (combined with my Nikon D800E) but its ductility means that I do not need anything else. Its brightness and stabilization allow shooting even in difficult conditions. Another positive aspect is the possibility of using circular filters and also 100 mm plate filters. Finally, I would like to highlight the bokeh that I consider very pleasant.

Pros: Price,Construction,Stabilizer,Sharpening

Cons: a bit of a weigh-in but the quality pays off very well!

Opinion: Fantastic lens, always mounted on the D850, reliable companion for many shooting situations, I recommend it to those who do not want to faint for the original is an excellent compromise !! when I bought the D850 the retailer immediately advised me on this optics, telling me that I would hardly detach it from the body of the machine. That's the way it was. Good Light!

Pros: all

Cons: nothing

Opinion: With his big brother 70-200 G2, Tamron churned out an excellent product, better than the EF 24-70 f 2.8; perhaps Canon slept on his laurels. The stabilizer helps a lot when you are forced under certain conditions not to overdo it with ISOs and lower the times. Even from this lens I have received great satisfaction for more than two years, in any ceremony and single shotting. All this is excellent to make the most of. Excellent pairing for those still in possession of 5D and 1DX. Never a disappointment for AF and made color. This is also a very good compromise compared to that of the parent company and others in the DSLR range.

Pros: Compact construction with good plastics, sharpness.

Cons: Inaccurate autofocus (very often) color range to the shot not adapted to reality , excessive weight associating it with the D800 becomes heavy the photo day.

Opinion: The AF's repetitive difficulty many times forced to resume the shooting scene wasting time , color range not always perfect on the scenery shooting (these problems also found trying the optics on D750 and D4 ) frankly given the expense I expected qualitatively more , I had already obtained a bad experience with this brand in the past and the thing repeated in any case the solution was found : Sold!

Pros: Compact , image quality in Focus, price

Cons: Reliability

Opinion: I decided to buy it compared to the 24-70 Vr nikon after a careful assessment regarding the quality of the image - footprint and price. .. Just extracted from the box the impression is to have in your hands a lens of another level well built, compact and silent. Unfortunately at the first shot all this expectation disassembles with a closeup out of focus to which I decided to do a little test with the use of a light box. No problem with F/B focus only that on 10 3 or 4 shots can not take them even at close range , also I noticed that a few times I had a "jump" of the image in the viewfinder during focus. I honestly did not feel like changing it / sending it to repair and with the fact that I used it for 1 week poor I decided to return it . I can not justify from Tamron this lack of build quality found in various models. had been a 120-dollar lens I would have understood but you can't compromise when you spend certain figures.

Pros: Engraving, net and non-invasive colours, ductility, brightness 2.8 fixed, class stabilization, optical quality and absolute construction.

Cons: A bit of flare in backlight, AF which, only sometimes, has some uncertainty.

Opinion: There Are many more pros, even unwritten ones. My "vademecum" is just under a year, in the sense of always with me. I preferred it to the (almost) perfect Sigma 24-105mm f/4 DG OS HSM Art-that was happening at the Canon 1a equivalent series-for the great brightness, for the Tamron quality that I've learned to appreciate more and more and for not having too many focal overlapping... I am really satisfied, the weight is not yet a problem and gives solidity in handling it, the images are always well engraved and is made in an almost certosina, with a nice rounded bottom in clear metal to attack the nozzle that gives elegance (pure that, Zanzan! ) ; Purchased by RCE PD with maximum celerity and price always at the top. Also Great in portraits. I Don't feel the lack of an original optics!

Pros: Quality. Price. Construction. Stabilizer. Sharpness

Cons: Hood in cumbersome rest. Heavier than the previous version. But the quality is also paid by weight.

Opinion: From one day I got my new Tamy 24-70 G2. Luckily no front/black focus after seeing and reading so many reviews that said of this issue. Before I had the previous version always without any problem. Improves though of little compared to the previous version. I recommend buying to all those who do not want to spend a fortune on a lens home mother. Now I just have to enjoy this fantastic lens. A greeting Leo

Pros: Sharpness, Construction Quality, Colors, Silent

Cons: Weight, lens without dust treatment

Opinion: I have had this lens for about a year, I waited a while before writing a review to be able to test it in the field; In my view, it seems an excellent lens sharp from fear, lightning autofocus and silent, at f/2.8 gave me too much softness in the portraits, great for the skin but a little less for the eyes that I personally love bright and sharp, adjusted to .14 on D750, it seems to me much better, the colors returned on full frames are excellent, the tone of the skin perfect; It weighs quite a bit, but when you shoot the quality and sharpness of the photo you repay the weight carried behind, given its excursion from everything to do and its brightness you can think of going out only with this lens and you bring home excellent results. I noticed that in some situations and only TA is present in the bokeh, the annoying onion effect that plagued the first model, but only in some secondary blurry lights.

Pros: Robustness, good chromatic quality and sharpness.

Cons: Bulky lens hood, and if kept mounted on the contrary hinders the maneuvers zoom, focus ring a little too narrow, but you can get used to the whole.

Opinion: Purchased at the end of August for my Nikon d7200 as soon as two months the stabilizer seems to have abandoned me shaking loudly and for several minutes every time the machine receives a command (inserting SD card, reflex ignition, insertion or Disconnecting the USB cable, accessing the menu, pressing half-click, etc....) All even at stabilizer off. Unfortunately I will have happened a defective specimen and having bought it on a site where prices are tempting but the guarantee is zero I decided to get it repaired at my expense, at the end saw the initial savings at the end we return anyway. In conclusion for those few months that I could use I can only be satisfied with the performance it offers, made to try even by friends who have Nikon 24-70 with very positive feedback. Council? Buy it if you want a bright and sharp lens, but okki to the sites that offer one year's guarantee and the merchandise comes from the Asian market. Mistake I won't do again.

Pros: Yield, sharpness, speed, stabilization, price

Cons: Weight and dimensions

Opinion: Mindful of the quality I found in 15-30 now that I needed a 24/70 I decided to take the G2, I review it to follow the already abundant positive opinions of this goal. Big and voluminous but less than the Nikon 24/70 I was amazed at the speed and the quality of the yield and sharpness. Works perfectly on D800, the stabilization is exceptional, the quality of the materials used by a good taste in the grip, a small mole could be the focus ring, I think they have designed a little tight but they are hanging. My specimen does not suffer fortunately from FB focus, I recommend it especially by virtue of its value for money.

Pros: All: Handiness (despite weight), autofocus speed, effective stabiliser

Cons: For now no one

Opinion: Withdrawn Friday to replace the now-dated Sigma 24-70 F. 2.8 EX DG APO Macro, the feeling was fantastic. Accustomed to Sigma's very slow autofocus (with non-ultrasonic autofocus), it now flies. Also the construction is very valid, I like the attack on the body in metal and not plasticone like that of the dated Sigma used so far. For now I did test shots, but shoot with the new Tamron inside the store where I took it with focal at 70mm and time of 1/3 second freehand and not having the blur is a show. The weight, by many found I have not found a problem, also accustomed to the 70/200 L IS F. 2.8 By far heavier, and to see the first photos, made for trial and Scarsamene interesting to publish, would not seem to have problems front/back focus (but I reserve similar Opinion to further evidence).

Pros: Construction, sharpness, stabilization, solidity, snap Lens hood, luminosity, quality/price ratio, aesthetics.

Cons: F/B Focus present on three specimens, then autofocus to calibrate with the expensive TAP-In console.

Opinion: I purchased this lens on Amazon in April this year, to use it as a handyman lens on a Nikon D850. The first specimen arrived with major F/B focus problems (wrote correctly Andre-90): On the 70 mm of LF at one meter away was present Front focus not completely solvable even by setting + 20 in the adjustments in the room, while at other focal It was even present Back focus, making it impossible to find a compromise with the only available calibration. I sent back the lens and I got a second, still with problems of Front focus at 70 mm of LF to one meter and over and back focus to other LF, but less accentuated. Attracted by the positive characteristics of the lens I decided to keep it anyway and to buy the Tap-In console. After a few hours of adjustments I got a good compromise and I must say that, with the MAF in place, the lens is wonderfully resolvent practically all the LF, giving the best of itself from F/4 onwards. The highly efficient stabilizer allows you to shoot with times otherwise unthinkable and to make video footage without flickii. The fluidness of the zoom and MAF ring nuts is excellent. Intelligent the hood with automatic locking system and button release. The finish of the lens is beautiful and the weight is, yes, relevant but still lower than the 24-70 Nikon and Sigma, as well as the size. In early September, after 2,000/3,000 shots, the automatic MAF went crazy: pressing the MAF button of the machine, the lens hooked the focus, was emitted the classic beep and lit the green indicator corresponding to the point of MAF, but then, instead of Stopping, the lens continued to focus, moving away or approaching the point of MAF compared to the required and completely blur the image. The lens has been replaced for the second time and also the new Front/Back focus, depending on the LF and the distances, more important than the second lens but less than the first. For correction with TAP-In console I had to set + 20 to 70mm/1m (adding + 4 In the room) and a-7 to 50mm/infinity, but in the end you get a pretty reliable and accurate MAF. Rating:-sharpness (with AF in Live View, or, after calibration AF with console): 10-MAF (before calibration would merit 3, but the problem of Front or Back focus is now present on many third party lenses and fortunately you can solve, in the last Versions, with accurate calibration on different points, via the appropriate console) after calibration: 8.5-Reliability: 8 (I have other Tamron lenses that have never let me down, so I want to consider myself particularly unfortunate in being stumbled across a single Defective specimen)-Warranty (minimum, 5 years Europe, otherwise 10 years Polyphoto): 10-quality materials: 10-Price: 10-Stabilizer: 10 Overall Rating: 9.5

Pros: Construction, excellent and solid lens hood, excellent stabilizer, brightness, cost interesting for the type of optics, tropicalization, crisp.

Cons: Nobody.

Opinion: had previously the G1. This G2 does not distort the excellent characteristics of the predecessor, but improves the AF, stabilization and, in my opinion, is slightly sharper (comparison made to equal settings in the room). I read several users complaining about front/back focus, but honestly I don't see any presence on my specimen. Will I be lucky with the third party optics? I've never had such problems. Tried both on D4 and on D7200 and I have to say that the upgrade satisfied me. The construction is excellent, important dimensions with a large front lens of 82mm and have greatly improved the attack of the Lens hood, which was not a great deal on G1, as a little hard to engage and remove. On this G2, the lens hood is screw-on with a solid "clack" and is equipped with a release key that allows it to be disassembled softly. To those who say that it settles dust on the lens, I answer that my optics protect them, all, with filters Hoya HD Protector. Either as a matter of safety, either to avoid accumulations of dust or, worse, scratches. So this is an aspect that I would not consider a negativity intrinsic to the lens. Great at TA, fantastic closed one stop. What else to say except that I would buy it again 1000 times. Rated 10.

Pros: Sharpness (if calibrated), price compared to competition, construction, brightness, very comfortable focal range, optimum stabilizer, Lens hood Lock

Cons: You have to calibrate it with the tap-in console to get the maximum (+ €80) and lots of patience, distortion at 24mm, noticeable drop in sharpness at 70mm, specimens not always with the same quality, F/B focus in many specimens, cost of tap-in console, lens without treatment for Dust (if you deposit a lot of it)

Opinion: I updated the review of this lens after having calibrated it adequately with the TAP-in console (certainly not a walk and you lose some time). At the beginning I thought to sell because disappointed by the quality, especially the sharpness of optics. The problem was due to the F/B focus problems that afflict these G2 (even the 70-200 needed calibration); Once calibrated it showed all its character and excellent sharpness already at 2.8, more than many other optics that I've got to try. The construction is solid, the lens hood hangs on the optic which makes it impossible to lose once mounted, the cap for my taste has too many games and some times it takes off alone while it is in the backpack. The front lens attracts so much dust and has no treatments like the Sigma ART series so you just need a puff to remove everything. On this aspect you could certainly do more. On D750 my specimen had obvious F/B focus problems, especially at distances exceeding 1mt. I then bought the console to calibrate it but it was not so simple: you have to do many tests and not always when a value seems to be the correct one on the field maintains expectations. I had to buy Reikan Focal (€80!) to get support in the calibrazion and after hacking 2 days finally the G2 optics that I own are sharp and precise. The distortion is evident at the extreme focal lengths while more restrained towards the 35mm. At 70mm I find it too soft, so it is better to close at least F4 when shooting at 70mm. Unfortunately these problems of F/B focus complicate not just the use of a lens that is otherwise excellent in the Q/P ratio. Finally a special mention to the Tamron stabilizer that works well and above all, is silent.

Pros: Construction Sharpness Stabilizer

Cons: F/b Focus

Opinion: Bought for APSC Nikon D7500, just mounted on a big disappointment.. F/b focus on all focal lengths virtually unusable. Bought the tap in made some tests suffered from front focus in a heavy way I gave a + 15 almost at all focal even + 20 to 70 mm excellent result. So those who buy this lens need tap in. I can say that with a + 15 The system is Allienato, sharp photos af Fast that say a great lens sin spend more money to correct.

Pros: Sharpness, construction, stabilizer and sealing, F 2.8 over the entire focal length

Cons: You can have F/B focus, solvable with fine adjustment in your room or with the Tamron Tap-in Console

Opinion: I bought this lens after months of testing, readings and various reviews, I was tempted by a good used Canon 24-70 f2 .8 L II or Tamron again with 5 year warranty, I chose the second option and I must say it was really happy. Stabilizer amazing, massive construction and tropical conditions, but what I feared most was the inconstancy of the fire at different distances, but made a simple calibration with Focal, W-6 T + 2, I have not encountered any problem with field trials, which with its G1 predecessor was insurmountable, and I've changed 3. As the quality of the files I can say that it is slightly better than the G1 and has good sharpness wide open. Then there is the price that is fair for the quality it offers, sure the Canon second series will be better but costs twice as much. Rating 9.5

Pros: Sharpness, stabilizer, tropicalization, F 2.8

Cons: Weight, F / B focus

Opinion: Together with my Canon 6d Mark2 I wanted to buy a good 24 70, since the lens supplied in kit did not satisfy me.rnNon wanting to spend the approximately 1700.00 Euro for the Canon equivalent, after reading some reviews, I decided to buy the Tamron in question.rnThe first thing you notice as soon as you hold it is a sense of strength, excellent build quality and the weight that sincerely surprised me.rnFatti the first shots the thing that really amazed me was the stabilizer, then I noticed a noticeable difference in sharpness to f2.8, too much compared to photos taken with smaller apertures. I made some tests and I realized a clear front focus problem, so I proceeded to correct it by fine tuning the machine. rnSecond me who talks about collapse of sharpness at f2.8 should check the point of focus, alone, if you have the skills, or turning to 'assistance.rnPremetto I'm not a professional and I do not know which may be the level of sharpness achieved by the L-series wide-angle lenses, for me thatthe reached from Tamron is Fantastica.rnTraining the sums, I'm using this lens for 2 months and I'm very satisfied with my purchase.rnIo recommend it.

Pros: F2,8 on the whole focal length, constructive rnQuality, rnTropicalization, rnStabilization.rn

Cons: F / B focus, rnweight, rnDimensions, rnParaluce.

Opinion: A few years ago I owned the G1 version of this zoom; sold when I realized that the f / b focus was not compensable with the fine adjustment of the sw of the SLR (Canon 6D). After him I took the Sigma Art 50mm that (after having adjusted the f / b focus with the dock!) Has always given me great satisfaction, with the only drawback of the fixed focal (which limits a lot of pò - what do you say? - the creative possibility in the composition). As soon as I heard of the output of this Tam G2 (with the possibility to adjust, with the appropriate dock, any errors of f / b focus) I did not think a moment: I sold the Sigma and I took this - complete Tap-in for the correction and updating of the FW. I was hoping the fire was okay from the beginning but ... disappointment, it was macroscopically starved. Assisted by Focal for the calibration, I applied the correction through the Tap-in. Result: fire ..... almost acceptable. This imperfection, in my opinion, kneads very much the details in the photos at the shorter focal lengths (from24 to 50). For the rest I notice a certain vignetting and a very slight distortion at 24mm. Then nothing to say about the construction that, to the touch, appears very robust! Other points to its detriment are weight and size. The balance between pros and cons, to be honest, does not make me reach full satisfaction (especially in comparison with Sigma Art). Advise him? I do not know, depends on how important are the elements that I have mentioned above: accuracy of the fucus, portability, dimensions. PS: I do not hide that I have already done some thoughts on its sale.

Opinion: Taken for a few days I was astonished by the quality of this lens I highly recommend it. At first I was more inclined to Sigma Art but in the end I made the right choice. The stabilizer does its job well in short, an objective that once assembled you will hardly take it off more !!!!

Pros: sharpness, af, construction

Cons: none for the lens type

Opinion: After a couple of years of 24-70 G1 I went to 24-70 G2, improving (without excess) in everything: construction, stabilization, sharpness at corners, AF speed. It does not overwhelm the already good 24-70 G1, but it improves on the peculiar aspects I have mentioned earlier. It will be a best seller of Tamron as it is the G1 ...

Pros: Sharpness, color rendering, price

Cons: Vignette a bit, but easy to fix in pp

Opinion: I had to replace the 24/70 f 2.8 Nikon, because it was stolen. Not being able to recompile it, listening to friends' opinions, I took this, somewhat skeptical (towards Tamron in general) .. rnUnexpected surprise. Found in low light conditions, , Nocturnal, concerts .. I can only say that I did not regret the equivalent Nikon.Ho printed 40x60 with a yield, color and sharpness, according to me at least the same.Use on FF.Probably I should work, and print more in Great, distortion is noticeable, but for use by an advanced cameraman, it goes well. And comparing shots and Nikon prints, I can swear that there are not all Euros of difference with Nikon. It's half, but, proportionally, As rendered, is worth less. Lightweight vignetting at the minimum focal point, but easily corrected in pp.Conscious even to skeptics.
