It is a bit soft wide open at 200mm.I like it, though, and have no intentions of upgrading. With the formalities out of the way, I think Talley's review says a lot of good things about the Tamron.

brianh4204 Member 125 posts Joined Oct 2012 Location: Charlotte NC More info | The Tamron may be the best very value in lenses. Focus as fast at the Canon M2 and maybe a bit quieter, sharp as anything on the market. Best warranty you will find. The Sigma is very good but the Tamron is as good as they come. Even versus the Canon the Tamron is excellent...

I find I'm using it more and more for studio shoots now too - it produces beautiful results under location low light and studio high power strobe scenarios. It's a money maker.

Decided for the Tamron vs the Sigma after reading a number of reviews (including the one on POTN as mentioned above). My name is Henk. and I believe "It is all in the eye of the beholder....."

I'm glad that my review has helped for others. Makes my effort seem worth it. The Tamron is an amazing value. I'm surprised you haven't been approaced by Tamron yet, as you seem to be responsible for many Tamron 70-200 and 24-70 purchases (mine included lol) My Gear:

They just need some 1.4 glass Tamron shies away from primes unless they are macros. I wonder why that is? My junk
