From: Dimitris M on 19 Mar 2010 11:44 I have try this lens in my Nikon D700 and I am very pleased by his sharpness. I can not spend 1.700-1.800 euros that the new Nikon 70-200 costs in Greece, so I wait for a new version of the Tamron with a fast internal AF motor and a stabilizer (VC). Is there any info (or rumor) when Tamron will release this improved 70-200 f2.8 VC ? -- Dimitris M

Perhaps the 70-200mm f/2.8 will be their next project? In the meantime, Sigma has released an EX Series 70-200mm f/2.8 lens with a fast internal AF motor and a stabilizer: http://www.dpreview.com/news/1002/10022016sigma70mm200mm.asp And Nikon has released a Mk II version of the 70-200mm f/2.8 AF-S VR. http://www.dpreview.com/lensreviews/nikon_70-200_2p8_vrii_n15/ So, in the absence of a Tamron product, there are other options.

They make some excellent lenses, and at decent prices.

They make some excellent lenses, and at decent > prices. yes they do, but they're generally not as robust as nikon/canon. in the case of the 70-200, the tamron is reasonably good, however, it is very slow in focusing. |
