Tamron has become a favorite company of many photographers, known for creating both very practical and affordable lenses as well as some of the more innovative options that push into new territory. The 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III VC VXD G2 belongs in the former camp, offering a common workhorse at a great price. This great video review takes a look at the lens and the sort of performance and image quality you can expect from it in practice.
Coming to you from Mitch Lally, this excellent video review takes a look at the new Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III VC VXD G2 lens for Sony E mount cameras. Rounding out the company's holy trinity of f/2.8 zooms, with the 28-75mm f/2.8 and 17-28mm f/2.8 sitting below it, the 70-180mm f/2.8 perfectly embodies Tamron's philosophy of smart compromises that help it produce highly affordable lenses that still compete with much more expensive first-party options. It is worth considering the fact that you can actually purchase all three lenses in the set for about the same price as a single 70-200mm f/2.8 first-party lens, and all three turn in performance suitable for most professional demands. Check out the video above for Lally's full thoughts on the 70-180mm f/2.8.
