Tamron SP 70-200mm f/2.8 VC G2 lens, Canon

Tamron SP 70-200mm f/2.8 VC G2 - Canon

Tamron's completely redesigned version of the popular telephoto zoom. The new glass features an improved Vibration Compensation (VC) optical image stabilizer, faster and quieter autofocus and a shorter focusing distance (0.95m). eBAND coatings on the optics ensure contrast and colour saturation. Tamron's body is weatherproofed against dust and splashes and performs well even in the toughest of clips. The optics are great for event, potshots, sports and landscape photography, and often one of the most important focal lengths for photographers. Get more reach with the Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 G2

The old Tamron was a test success and the new version is better in every way. The Tamron is well below the Canon and Nikon variants, but aims for the same quality and is often a very smart choice. Plus, you get a 5-year warranty on the product, which you can't get with a Nikon or Canon lens.
