Tamron SP 24-70mm Di VC USD Canon Mount AFA007C-700 Reviews
| 9 of 10 people found the following review helpful  CANON KILLER for FULL FRAME cameras !, By This review is from: Tamron SP 24-70mm Di VC USD Canon Mount AFA007C-700 (Electronics) I need to preface this review with an announcement from Canon that they are releasing three new lenses around summer 2012: An improved Mark II version of their popular EF 24-70mm f/2.8L, and image stabilized versions of their 24mm and 28mm f/2.8 lenses. Canon users were scratching their heads: Why an update to the venerable 24-70mm f/2.8 with NO image stabilization, while at the same time adding IS to the 24 and 28mm primes?? The new EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM is set to retail at $2,299, a whopping $1,000 over the Mark I... with no IS... it just doesn't make any sense, especially when Canon has had an IS equivalent for APS-C cameras out for six years already: the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM.Now comes this Tamron SP 24-70mm Di VC USD lens (available for Canon, Nikon and Sony mounts), already shipping in late April 2012 for $1000 less than the upcoming Canon non-IS version. Tamron is really stealing Canon's thunder with this lens! The VC stands for Vibration Compensation,...

When I bought this lens, I had currently owned the Canon 24-70mm L mark 1, and loved that lens, except it didnt have IS, which is incredibly useful for video and low light. I found that my keeper rates have not changed going to the Tamron (if anything, it improved from great to excellent), but the sharpness had definitely improved at every focal length and aperture. I had to verify that it wasnt my imagination, so I tried a few tests on a tripod, using live view, and indeed the tamron was a tad sharper at every focal length and aperture on my full frame camera.It's not the perfect lens though (I dont believe one exists!), it is the jack of all trades. VC is extremely competent, probably the best in the business. AF is not L fast, but fast enough that I dont miss shots, and even AI Servo works fine. The build quality is on par with the 24-105mm, very very solidly built...

It looks better than 17-55mm 2.8 IS. I cannot compare it to Canon 24-70mm as I do not have one.Color, Contrast, Sharpness are on par with Canon L lens. I actually like Tamron better as it has more natural and vibrant color than Canon. However, there is one caveat. When I read the initial review online I found out that the bokeh can be problematic. While the background blur is creamy and beautiful, I noticed that some circles (be it be raindrop, sparkles of lights, or reflections) appeared layered like onions. I have to do more testing to see how apparent it is. Considering that new Canon 24-70mm II is over 2000 and has no IS, I still think Tamron is a much better alternative- if that onion-like effect is not common or severe. but if you really dont care much about it (you only really notice it when you view the picture at 100% on your screen), then you'll be happy with it. The bokeh is very creamy and dreamy. it didnt... Read more |
