Tamron has gained popularity among photographers for their practical and budget-friendly lenses, as well as their innovative designs. The 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III VC VXD G2 is a prime example, being a staple, yet cost-effective option. Can it compete in a marketplace crowded with extremely capable 70-200mm f/2.8 options? This great video review takes a look at the sort of performance and image quality you can expect from it in practice.
Coming to you from Christopher Frost, 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. Sitting at the top of the company's holy trinity of f/2.8 zooms alongside the 28-75mm f/2.8 and 17-28mm f/2.8, the 70-180mm f/2.8 showcases Tamron's strategy of balancing affordability and performance, competing with pricier lenses from major brands. Interestingly, the combined cost of these three Tamron lenses is comparable to a single high-end 70-200mm f/2.8 lens, yet they all meet professional standards. And given how well it performs, it really is worth considering if the more pragmatic option is right for you or if you really do need that absolute top level of performance and image quality. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Frost on the lens.
