Review on π· Tamron 70-210mm F/4 Di VC USD Lens for Nikon FX Digital SLR Camera (6-Year Tamron Limited USA Warranty) by Bhavin Patel α
I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!
This is already the third lens from a tamron with a silver ring in my technopark, and so far my impressions are only positive. According to subjective feelings, the weight and dimensions of this glass greatly outweigh the value of aperture in a similar model 70-200 f2.8, and even more so at such focal lengths, and as a bonus +10 mm focal length at the long end. Even in dark scenes, f4 with a stub is enough. So to anyone who is still thinking - I strongly recommend it!

Pros
- Outwardly, a very nice design, and in the hands it feels comfortable. The stub works great, and you can take it with a reserve for the future, if you plan to switch to a more megapixel matrix. In terms of focusing speed, everything is also quite fast, the ability to focus on close distances is especially pleasing. The weight is such that there is a balance with a DSLR, and it is convenient to keep it on weight even for a long time, for example, when shooting performances, concerts, etc. A separate joy is a monolithic body without a retractable trunk, with this it is not scary both in dust and in rain.
Cons
- There is no focusing distance limiter, but it should be noted that I have not yet had moments when autofocus would start to senselessly crawl back and forth. The hood in the stowed state closes the zoom ring. Rubber ring: I have another lens of the same series (24-70 g2) and both rubber rings have crept there after a year of regular use, here is the same rubber, but only on the zoom ring, and the focus is made of plastic, so it would be better both rings were plastic. Life hack: stretched rubber is easily treated with acetone baths, but, however, the smell from it will go away after 2 months, but like new. (-:
