Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 VC USD Review

90

The Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 VC USD is a solid all-purpose lens with good image quality and build. The f2.8 aperture allows for a nice bokeh effect, and the image stabilization is effective for still photography, although slightly jerky for video work. It is a bit heavy, but overall, it is a great lens for the price.

The f2.8 aperture allows for a nice bokeh effect, while the effective image stabilization makes it great for still photography, although slightly jerky for video. At 24-70mm, its zoom range makes it a versatile option. The build quality is good with a metal mount and weather sealing gasket, but it is a bit heavy. The lens is sharp, with good contrast and colors, and only minimal chromatic aberration. It performs well on both full frame and APS-C cameras. The lens does have a tendency to catch glare from light sources. However, overall it is a great lens given its price, highly recommended for still and video work.
