Review on 📷 Tamron SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC G2 - Canon EF DSLR Lens with 6 Year Limited USA Warranty (New lenses only) by Veronica Goodwin

Meets or exceeds the Canon counterpart in every way. Sharp images with good background separation at f2.8. AF is fast and quiet. VC (Stabilization) works as advertised, providing a slight grip in your hand at 200mm for up to 1/30s or slower if you have steady hands. Personally, I increase the ISO and slow the shutter speed before attempting to shoot at such a slow speed, as at this point I'm more concerned with subject movement than camera shake. The build quality of the latest generation of Tamron lenses is outstanding. It's a real pleasure to stay and work for hours. The focus and zoom rings are smooth and well dampened. The barrel finish is beautiful. One thing I noticed is that the AF and VC control switches seem to be easier to turn off than the corresponding function switches on my Canons. I think this is partly because Tamron switches have slightly lower resistance and maybe a bit more vulnerable compared to Canon switches. This resulted in me suddenly shooting in manual focus mode after apparently moving the AF/MF switch while carrying or unpacking the Tamron. The built in Arca mounting plate is great. Thank you Tamron.
