First of all i did not say it's a bad product and i am not a canon fan. I have 70-300 vc tamron and i like it. I paid $500 for tamron last year. This is not a perfect lens it has some disadvantages. I knew this and i bought tamron anyway. I did not expect 70-200 is2 performance from it. 70-200 vc tamron is a brand new product and there may be some bad copies as we can see the same situation in other brands. I read the test results closely and saw the corners weakness of the lens. In the first entries in this topic there were superb wedding shots. I did not see the photos in their actual size but as far as i can see from the photos that lens is a very good copy. If i pay $1500 for a lens i expect high performance, no Ca, no soft corners.
For someone that makes hard and fast judgments about a lens, you sure seem clueless.









So I apologize to any who may have taken it as equipment issues. Here is a shot a 200mm 2.8 (and a close crop).
