Meeting expectations
I don't have a lot of time in yet with this lens. I have used at 2 or 3 high school football games (night). I think the lens has better capability than I have. I am still learning. Have been experimenting with auto vs manual focus, various focus point selections etc. Results have been mixed, but I think that when my knowledge catches up, the lens will be a good tool to help get those grandchild sports shots in lower light situations. It might be a bit long for basketball season, time will tell.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great, great lens
I'm relatively new to DSLR photography. However, I've taken a few photography courses and have spoken with many photographers. After doing a lot of on-line research, YouTube reviews, and talking with photographers, the suggestions I received most was to get a 70-200 zoom lens. I am using an entry level Canon Rebel T7i, so the choice boiled down to the Canon lens ($1,700) and the Tamron lens ($730). Not wanting to spend the extra $1,000, I opted for the Tamron and could not be happier. Although the lens is much heavier than I expected, it is still a fantastic lens. The focus is quick and the anti vibration setting makes a huge difference when hand held shooting. What I like about the lens is the larger aperture setting, AND, the aperture remains throughout the zoom. This makes a positive impact on action photography, which is why I purchased this lens. I've been using the lens to take photographs of birds and it's doing a fantastic job. I'm not sure how much of a difference the Tamron is compared to the Canon, but for my money and level of experience, it certainly is a fantastic lens which will get a lot of use.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Almost a great lens, but not as good as the majors!
This Tamron SP 70-200mm F/2.8 I purchased for my Nikon D810 is almost great. Well constructed, fast focus even in low light, fairly sharp at f/4 and above. Will never use it at f/2.8 since focus is soft compared to my Canon. I also have a Canon 70-200mm L f/2.8 II on a 5D Mark III and at f/2.8 the difference is significant. However at f/5.6 it is hard to tell the difference from the Canon. I shoot sports and the extra megapixels of the Nikon D810 makes up a little for the soft f/2.8.. I can crop much more and sacrifice the f number for the extra resolution I get with this lens and the Nikon D810. Not to heavy, and the price is almost half of the Canon. So, if you want this kind of versatility, you can't beat it for the price! I do recommend it, but don"t expect miracles at f/2.8.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Love it...Love it...Love it!!!
This is a really great lens. It is sharp, has fast focus with little searching, minimal focus breathing. Some vignetting at max length, but decreases when you raise the f stop. Great value for the price. Made well, although the focus ring could be wider. VC control is great even hand held. Quiet motor too. Looking forward to more great shots.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Excellent Tamron Lens
This is a great lens, I have been only using Nikon lens, all though I purchased a 18-35 mm, 2.8 Tamron lens 4 years ago, but I didn't like it. After receiving my new 70-200mm, 2.8 Tamron and seeing how well it performed I went back and got out my older 18-35mm Tamron and now realize how great that lens is also. Great products.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Awesomely fast and precise with 7D2/5D3.
I've owned this lens for about a week but with the testing I've done so far I can say with confidence you won't be sorry. If you aren't getting awesome performance your copy might have an issue. I had to return the first one for a front focus issue.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great for Indoor Sports
I purchased this lens mainly due to the 2.8 speed of it. I take a lot of indoor sports pictures such as Volleyball and Basketball and found I had to shoot with ISO around 1200-1600 with 1/125 to 1/60 shutter speed to get acceptable quality images recorded, yet a lot of the action shots remained somewhat blurry. I took images for the first time with this lens just the other day and my ISO was at 800 with 1/125 to 1/250 and the images are superb with very little if any motion blur. A definite answer to my indoor sports photo issues. Can't wait to try it out on some wildlife action. Highly recommended.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

New to fast lenses
Y'all I usually just shoot quick portraits and macros with my kit lense. I"m blown away by the low light performance of this lens. I've taken it in the field and it is pretty durable and the images are pretty sharp when on a tripod. Handheld, the images can be a little less sharp when zoomed in, but ultimately this lens produces clear images.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Excellent lens
I love it every minute since I bought this lens. This piece is heavy and looks like a tank but you won't have a complain with your photography if you really want to produce beautiful portraits. I highly recommend it for professionals and lovers of good images.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
