Tamron SP AF 70-200mm f/2.8 Di LD (IF) Reviews

I purchased this lens until I could save up enough money from my business to buy the Nikon version. After seeing the quality of the lens, I am not sure if I will be buying the Nikon version any more.

The optics are great. As others may have said, it is a bit slower than the Nikon version for focusing but still works very well. If you use it in continuous mode, it tracked a skateboarder perfectly and provided me great sharp images even wide open.

I am definitely not disappointed in this lens at all and I would highly recommend this lens to others. This is used on a Nikon D300.

I thought the image quality was excellent on a D200 and S5 Pro.

I have since progressed to a D700 and I am still incredibly impressed with the image quality.

According to other reports, this lens has only ever been let down by its focusing speed, but as I never shoot sport, it is ideal for me.

The 70-200mm vr/vr2 might be better, I don't know, but at a third of the price, you can't go wrong.

I have not experienced any issues with my version at all, on DX or FX.
