Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 VC USD

Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 VC USD Verdict

The Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD offers very good optical performance for a reasonable price. The added bonus of Vibration Compensation will appeal to many, especially if your photography tends to require shooting at slower shutter speeds in low light, rather than faster shutter speeds to freeze action.

Despite the chunky size, the lens isn't overly heavy and the moisture resistant construction should provide some peace of mind when shooting outdoors in changeable conditions.

Those looking for a 24-70mm f/2.8 zoom may wish to check out this lens as a suitable alternative to manufacturer’s own offerings, especially if the Vibration Compensation is a feature that will help with your particular field of photography.

Bought it to match up with my D600 and had great results. The VC worked very well and I got some teriffic shots at the Chelsea Market in NYC and on the tthe sky walk. I highly recommend this lens and it is a great bargin espically since it also has VC too.
