The Tamron lens is great at stopping the action in low lighting, as typical in a gym. The detail and picture quality is crisp and bright. from Amazon.com I really love my new Tamron AF 70-200 lens. The ease of going from manual to autofocus is great. from Amazon.com I have owned this lens since November and have taken 1000 plus pics with it. 25% of them are out of focus! from Amazon.com This lens would receive a 5 star rating if not for the slow autofocus. So far, that is the only drawback I've had with this lens. from Amazon.com I have shot the Nikon 80-200 2.8, and the 70-200 2.8 VR. This is way faster than the 80-200, the focus ring manual override is super sweet, much better than the Nikon. from Amazon.com I've been wanting a 70-200 2.8 zoom for a while and finally bought one, the Tamron. Last week I rented the Nikon 70-200, which is a beautiful lens in build quality and image quality. from Amazon.com Let me first say that I own (and use professionally) two other Tamron lenses and they are just fantastic. However, this lens was a definite disappointment. from Amazon.com Because I had read the reviews and comments, I knew about the weight and the autofocus weakness and was planning to brace the lens on a chair back and use manual focus during an evening graduation ceremony. However, I did test focusing on some graduates with the autofocus and the lens seemed to be focusing OK, so I left it on autofocus and I was able to photograph the two graduates I was there to photograph. from Amazon.com It's been a few weeks and I've spent a lot of time with this lens. It's an upgrade for me from the Quantaray 70-300, and costs about 3 times as much. from Amazon.com A MUST HAVE!!! This lens exceeded my expectations. It is perfect for those low-light indoor occasions when a flash cannot be used. from Amazon.com
