Customers like the image quality of the lens. They mention that it's just as sharp as the Nikon, and the background blur is creamy and beautiful. It's close in sharpness and color, and is a great combination for event pictures. The slow f stop is s great combination and is great for video and landscape.

Customers are mixed about the focus of the camera lenses. Some mention that it focuses quickly and without hesitation, and that it's easy to obtain focus in manual mode.

"...The first one I got had severe front focus. Playing with the AF micro-adjustments didn't really make a whole lot of difference...." Read more

"...tend to notice as I have used it more (on all cameras): the autofocus is slightly slower than say a Nikon. But no where unusable...." Read more

Tamron 24-70 vs Nikon 17-55
5 Stars
Tamron 24-70 vs Nikon 17-55
Tamron welcome to the club. I have been a Nikon brand loyalist since 20 years and never brought any other 3rd party lens, so what made me look at this one? The answer is VR. As a young parent I always wanted to shoot videos of my young one, who is always on the constant move. Getting pictures of toddlers is a bit challenging, but with a fast lens like Nikon 17-55, which I have been using for 2 years now served me well, but when it comes to taking videos the lack of VR on it was hurting the performance. Too many people say that you don't need a VR for a mid range lens like 24-70 or in my case 17-55, but boy they are wrong. The 17-55 is a stellar performer for taking pictures and low light photography, but it will soon lose its spot to Tamron 24-70. Pros will be flocking to get the Tamron 24-70 for the fusion style photography that everyone is demanding lately.Areas where Nikon shines: On a direct head to head comparison between Nikon 17-55 and Tamron 24-70, the Nikon 17-55 focuses a tiny bit faster than the Tamron 24-70. The Nikon 17-55 has a solid tank like feel when holding it, unlike the Tamron which has more plasticky feel. Nikon takes a 77mm filter while the Tamron takes an 82mm filter, I personally hate putting anything in front of the lens except for ND's to freeze motion etc.., some say you need UV filter for protection which is understandable. The image quality of pictures is pretty close, but Nikon produces more life like ones and has more vibrance and contrast to the pictures without any retouching. Nikon's lens hood is defenitely way better than the Tamron, but I leave my lens hood in the box. When detaching the Tamron from the body extra caution is required, the rear element is almost out there, and you can pretty much see all the VR circuits and wires at the bottom of the lens, there is no felt/room for protection like you see in other high end Nikon lens e.g 70-200 VR2, so the next time you are changing lens out in the elements out there keep this in mind. Nikon has the 7mm focal length advantage on the wider side of things i.e 17mm compared to 24mm for those landscape shots.Areas where Tamron shines: Ofcourse VR VR & VR, I was able to get some great keepers shooting at 1/15 or even lower shutter speeds hand holding in shutter priority mod, I could never go below 1/30 on my Nikon. If you are into shooting videos with your DSLR, boy you'll fall in love with this lens. Low light performance is stellar for this lens, I got better images at the same ISO with my new Tamron compared to Nikon, which was a decent surprise. Everyone who used Nikon lens has that one common complaint the zoom ring is small and is very near to the camera body, Tamron has a big, generous ring and is very smooth. Tamron has a lock switch to stop lens creep, but I doubt it'll have any creep at all in the first place, they engineered this lens perfectly. Bokeh is very pleasing compared to Nikon for those portraitures, the added 15mm when you completely zoom out i.e. 70mm over 55mm is a plus, for the crop sensor camera's the 70mm over 55mm becomes 105mm over 82.5. This lens will stay on my camera 90% of the time.Final thoughts: The new Tamron lens is perfectly engineered and will be much sought after lens, it has a current wait time of 3 months in some websites for obvious reasons. This lens will takeover the midrange lens market from Nikon just for the VR functionality, but add the price difference for a 24-70 mm lens we have a clear winner. Nikon got lazy with no plans to upgrade their mid range lenses and the loyalists always pretended to be content with no VR saying things like you don't need VR if you know what you are doing etc.....but we know that it hurts for those people in fusion photography and the new DSLR videography trend that is on rise. Tamron entered the big boys club with a bang and they did everything right this time from pricing, engineering and technology, thereby gaining my respect for them. If you are in the market for a new midrange lens, look no further.
