HOLY MOLY GUACAMOLE!
There's not much to add that hasn't been said already. I've had it for two days, and I'm blown away by the excellent image quality.
Up to now I had only used a Pentax-A 70-210 f4 and a Tokina AF 70-210 f4.5 at this focal length, and while by no means bad performers for their price, image quality will never ever come close to what the Tamron can deliver, even at 2.8!
I've found the autofocus to be snappy and fairly accurate in good to moderate light. I'm still trying to figure out whether it will be ok in adverse conditions. As a matter of fact I'm looking forward to using it for concerts and other theatre performances.
More so than with either lenses I mentioned beforehand, the shutter speed / focal length rule becomes critical due to the weight of this rocket! |
