Actual pictures from a real Tamron 70-200 f/2.8 lens.
Note that the targets chose not to hold still during this exercise. Also note that this was a used lens, not new, but it worked like new.

Produced really good images, but everything else about it was blegh- the AF was the worst I have ever dealt with (i got O___o countless times outdoors from how loud the drill-type motor sounded). Build quality is okay, but nowhere near that of the competition, especially the L's. Sld it after 3 months when I just couldnt take the lousy AF anymore.

The IQ is exceptional, but apparently those who need it for indoor sports and such are not happy with the AF speed. That was never a need or a worry for my style of shooting. I just recently purchased a Canon 70-200mm f/4 (which is excellent), but I thought long and hard about re-buying a Tamron. If I felt I needed the 2.8, I probably would have bought one.
