The problem with lens reviews is that what is "sharp" or "great build quality" is so subjective. It does really depend on what you are used to. For this reason I will compare directly to other lenses to help give you a better idea of what I mean.So if you are considering this lens then you have probably also considered the Canon or Nikon equivalent. I have a Canon 5D MK3 and so weighed this up against the Canon alternative. I already own a Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM.I also already own the Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD which I think is excellent. This lens is even better. Many very technical reviews exist online and I suggest you research them for your own specific needs.

This is an exceptional quality lens, its given me some stunning photos, many of which have even won top class awards at reputable photography academies. Beautifully crisp photos all the way through the aperture range on the subject and gorgeous soft focus at high aperture.With the 5D III, this lens focuses fast and accurately every time and has been used for very long periods during events and never fails. I don't know if its weather proof, but it shrugged off a few showers I've been caught in without any problem so I'm more relaxed about that too now.The build quality is very good, and feels nice and solid. The zoom works smoothly and has a nice firm glide, I also like that it remains the same size the whole time,

I have just received this lens and tried out on say 75-100 shots.Boy I'm impressed, I was considering the Canon version and this popped up nearly 650 pounds cheaper (780 GBP) so I took the jump. Yes the Canon is a little bit better from the reviews I have read. 200mm sharpness wide open, and better performance with vignetting are the two key areas.Build quality is great, I also like that it is black. If you want the quality and save enough for a good L Prime like me this is a great lens. Id say if the Canon is 100, this is 95/100 as most will want to shoot at 200mm fully open, this probably needs stopping to F4 to get all round sharpness.Cant fault it, amazing lens,

I've read many reviews on this amazing lens for over a year now.Last Christmas,(2015), I decided to finally give myself a present!(I do have it's baby brother the 24-70 2.8, another fine lens.At first I wasn't too happy with the focussing, it seemed a bit hit and miss.I sent it back to Tamron UK for recalibration. I received it back in a week!Nice one Tamron!It was better but still not to my liking. I began to mess with in camera fine tuning on my Nikon D610.After many shots and fiddling I finally settled on -12. It's now to my liking!Sometimes I get out of focus shots but I think that's down to me not the lens.Highly recommended!

Disclamer: I got tired of eternal "5 stars reviews" from people who got products for free or at a discounted price, so I decided to add my own experiences, unbiased and honest, from real world user who actually PAYS for products I do need and use, when they are useable :)The Tamron 70-200 2.8 USD mounted on the Sony A7rII with a Sigma MC-11 adapter provides simply outstanding results and beautiful color rendering!If you can live without E-native af facilities (Eye-AF...), for a fraction of the GM Sony counterpart you'll get a killer combo. But it will be heavy and clumsy to handle for some users....

Excellent quality lens. I was in 2 minds before ordering since this is a no-warranty lens. But I think my risk paid off. In a way, the risk was minimized since this was fulfilled by Amazon. And I didn't find anything wrong with the lens. I hope it will serve many years and I will be able to click good pictures. I am loving it so far, and will recommend to anyone looking for a cheaper alternative to the Canon 70-200, of which mark II is priced nearly twice as much, without much of difference on terms of picture quality.

Just fantastic! One of the best buys in a long time, camera wise. Decent price for what you get (the Nikkor one was over 50% more and didn't work as well and the slightly cheaper Sigma one was just shockingly bad). Stunningly sharp images and quite, fast auto focus. The internal telephoto range is super and creates a flashy look and keep the lens as compact as possible without compromising quality - so happy with this!

Initially I like this lens. It offers good value compared to the Nikon equivalent. Is it 200mm at all closer focus distances? I don't believe so. That's why I give it 4 stars not 5.
