About this product
Product Information
With Tamron's F/2.8 telephoto zoom lens, you can master the expression of real depth by creating soft-focus backgrounds to emphasize the crisp, clean lines of your subjects, or take advantage of fast shutter speeds to catch action at a distance. This high-performance fast lens gives you the mobility you need to capture outstanding telephoto zoom images - majestic scenery, stunning portraits, sports action, and more.This lens boasts a minimum focus distance of 0.95m over the entire zoom range, the best performance in its class. This makes large-aperture telephoto zoom photography possible over a longer shooting range. The lens also has a maximum magnification ratio of 1:3.1 (at 200mm, with a minimum focus distance of 0.95m), enabling you to enjoy close-up macro photography of flowers, insects, and other tiny objects.This zoom lens uses three LD (low dispersion) elements which effectively compensates for chromatic aberrations providing edge-to-edge sharpness and high-contrast image quality with flat-field characteristics over the entire zoom range. Moreover, through the use of "Internal Surface Coatings (i.e., multiple-layer coatings on cemented surfaces of plural elements)" and multiple-layer coatings to prevent reflections from lens surfaces is reduced to the absolute minimum.Product Identifiers

My new favorite!
As a portrait and lifestyle photographer, my go to lens is my 85mm because of the beautiful bokeh and the focal length but I do keep a large variety in my camera bag. I also shoot a lot of sports photos for the local high school (my dad is the athletic director) so I had a 70-300mm to get right in the action. Recently, that old lens of mine has been slower and showing it's age and usage so I started shopping around to replace it. I always wanted a wider aperture for those night time football games and this is perfect! I haven't used any of my other lenses since I got it! It's been great for outdoor and studio portraits AND all those action shots! It's fast and works perfectly with the auto focus on my camera. I'm so happy I added this to my collection!

Fast glass
Great lens. My first f/2.8 glass. Really enjoying its wide aperture capabilities and being able to take depth of field shots. It is forcing me to be more critical of shutter speed and focus. I have previously rented a Canon 70-200 f2.8 IS lens. This lens seems to hold up well against the fancy white name brand glass.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Good lens
I love the lens. It performs well in low light. The large aperture (f2.8) allows a lot of light to come through. The lack of image stabilization is a little problematic, especially when you are zoomed in all the way to 200mm. The focus is a little soft, not very crisp. Overall a good workhorse.

I like it!
Most of the reviews I read before I bought this lens were less than stellar. Okay it doesn't have VC and it does make some noise but the image quality is tremendous and it costs about half of Tamron's more publicized model. I like this lens just fine!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great quality for a fraction of the price
This baby is a work horse. It takes great pictures, feels durable and looks a lot better than the cream color of the canon brand.
