Best lense purchase what Ive ever made.The auto focus is outstanding and accurate. Very sharp and bring the quality what NIKON 70-200 does. I would say this is very competitive to Nikon but a £1200 cheaper. Im very happy with it so far. My only concern is Im curious how long its gonna last, if its built from good quality, premium parts not. Anyway there is 5 years of warranty which also a good thing.Although I do recommend it! Make a huge difference.

Good lens, definitely needed the Tap-in console, which I already had for the 150 – 600 G2, as I needed several adjustments for my D7200. Great image quality once adjusted, fast focus. Best results for clarity at F8 but acceptable at F2.8. Don’t really use it beyond F10 but no diffraction issues upto F10.The foot is very small, can’t get my fingers through it for carrying. Rotation smoothness is ok for the foot, not great can feel a bit gritty.Switches are awful and positioned badly, I tend to attach a sling strap for carrying and with the foot in the best position, to enable bringing the camera up to my eye, the switches are against my body as I walk and tend to get knocked out of my preferred settings. The switches are also obscured by the foot when in my alternate position. So quick fire is poor due to having to check the switches every time you try to take some shots.

Stunning lense, whisper quiet AF, insane VC, smooth smooth bokeh and sharp as all hell across the whole focal range. Was a very expensive treat for me but I am blown away by this lense (paired in a Nikon D500)

Is this a good lens? Well, everyone says so, but I had my first one replaced, as it was way too soft. The replacement, I thought, was quite a bit better. But I noticed that it was unreliable in its focusing (and, yes, I am aware of my technical limitations, but much worse than, say, with my Nikon 200-500 or my Nikon 70-200 f4). Eventually, I got tired and replaced it with my Nikon 70-200 f2.8 FL, which is a noticeable step up in sharpness and colour fringing (absent, not obvious). My advice, for what its worth, is buy a second hand Nikon from MPB (to which I sold my Tamron – very easy, but 50% down the drain. Oops) if buying new is too much. Or buy new from Panamoz, who are excellent and v cheap.I would, however, echo those who have cited the build quality of the Tamron.For info, I was using it with a D850 – I have no idea if that accentuates the quality differences with the Nikon FL lens.

Stunning! Focus, tack sharp. Vibration reduction, amazing. Sharpest lens I own, all the others are Nikon and this is streets ahead on every metric. I cant believe that this is the price it is at less than half the price of the Nikon. I have always used Nikon lenses, if I am in the market again I will definitely be looking at Tamron. Update: Disaster strikes, dropped the lens from height of one metre. Minor damage to filter ring everything else OK. So its tough! Sent it to Tamron repair and it took a little while for the part to arrive but once it had arrived from Germany the boys at Intro 2000 repaired and next day shipped the lens back to me. Cost of repair was reasonable, 5 year warrantee unaffected and the lens is still the sharpest lens I own with the best VC I have ever seen. Just makes me want to say even more how very pleased I am with this lens. Brilliant piece of kit for the money and built like a brick …. shed!!

There is an issue with the lens delivered to me. It makes wobbly noise even if not connected with Camera. It doesn’t focus well.I have read so many good reviews about this product, it’s a sheer disappointment. I’ve got my money wasted on this defected piece of lens.Worst purchase ever!

I was very excited to receive this lens – the reviews were great. I received the lens about a week ago and took a few shots of my sons baseball game – the picture quality is wonderful! However, I have been noticing issues with the autofocus. Im using the lens on my Nikon D7100 and this is the first non-Nikon brand lens Ive tried. I have had no issues with autofocus on any other of the lenses I own. When focusing on objects that are progressively further away, the autofocus works fine. However in the opposite direction, as I focus on objects that are progressively closer, the autofocus stops working at about the 5m mark. If I manually adjust the focus ring to its minimum position and then try to focus on the object, it seems to work just for that instance. Im hoping someone from Tamron sees this review and can offer some help as to whats going on. I contacted the company that handles Tamron warranty in Canada, but they wont honour any warranty of lenses purchased through ClickElectronics.ca. I may have to exchange the lens for another to determine if the one I received is a lemon.

I was hesitant on buying this lens and it is not Nikon, but after reading reviews from different sources I decided to buy one and do not regret it. The quality is amazing and highly recommend buying it if you still think about it.

Es un lente con una altísima calidad óptica, el enfoque es suave y silencioso. Se desenvuelve bien para casi cualquier tipo de fotografía, es uno de los mejores sin duda.Lo he utilizado en Nikon D500, D750 y Z6 con adaptador (hay que actualizar el firmware del lente y se necesita el infame Console Tap In), en todas funciona bastante bien. Sólo es superado por el Nikon FL ED de los lentes actuales.

Beautifully built, tactile feel in the hands is excellent, sharp, great resolution and colour rendition, and thoutful integration of Arca Swiss compatible tripod mounting plate.Only criticism is that the vibration control and autofocus buttons sit slightly proud of the main barrel of the lens and can be easily moved to a different position or off in the case of the AF/MF button (particularly if your camera is slung over your shoulder, hanging to your side against your body). Can be temporarily alarming when looking through the viewfinder and autofocus seemingly isn’t working on your camera. Obviously, easily corrected and nothing significant enough to detract from a high rating. Maybe one of the best value lenses today on the market.
