Customer Ratings & Reviews

I picked up the Tamron 70–180mm G2 mainly for shooting IndyCar, and I’m honestly blown away by how well it handled. The autofocus is super fast and locked onto the cars way better than I expected. Even at full zoom, the shots came out sharp with great colors and really smooth background blur. The biggest surprise for me is how light it is. I was walking the track and shooting all day, and my arms didn’t feel like they were falling off like they do with heavier 70–200 lenses. It balances really well on my Sony and doesn’t feel bulky at all. Low-light performance is also solid. During late afternoon practice sessions, the f/2.8 kept my shutter speeds high enough to freeze the cars without cranking ISO. Build quality feels sturdy, zoom ring is smooth, and the close-focus ability actually came in handy when taking detail shots in the paddock. For the price, this lens is honestly a steal. If you shoot sports, motorsports, or even portraits, this thing delivers. I’m super happy with it

Lens is lightweight and has razor-sharp image capabilities. Much more affordable than a sony native with almost the same capabilities. Body feels sturdy and well made. Would highly recommend this product. These were taken on an a7iv with 2 weeks of experience.

This is the best lens that I have bought thus far. This focal range is very versatile. I have no problem tracking while using it to capture sports. The portraits that I have captured are very, very sharp, as well.

First lens purchased for my Sony A7V. Got this to shoot my son’s soccer games. Get great photos with this!

Really nice lens, took it out for some twilight sports shooting on a lit field and the performance was great.

Excellent camera for the price. Perfect for beginner photographers.

The Tamron 70-180mm lens is PHENOMENAL!! The quality is just as good as a Sony lens for half the price!

not too heavy, priced perfectly, super fast and great autofocus, awesome pair for my a7riii

Love this lense a great buy... pairs great with my Sony a7iv

I have paired this lens with both my Sony fx3 and a73 for still photography and it’s amazing. Clean and quick autofocus. It is the depth of field I need without breaking the bank buying the g master series.

I have several Tamron lenses and this is probably one of the best. Nice range of 70-108 mm and is tack sharp all the way through. You also have the added benefit of f2.8 to add great speed to the lens. I have used it to photograph indoor sports as well as outdoors wildlife with excellent results in both areas. For price and performance it would be hard to find a better deal on a great lens.

Clear images, wode aperture even when "zoomed in". Covers a very useful range. Only downside is focus is occasionally slow or off in low light environments.

Super sharp. Easy to use, great value in cost to quality compared to G lens

I picked this lense up from BB yesterday and tried it on my A7iii. Wow. I've taken 20 pics at varying distances and zoom levels, different apertures. Auto-focusing is quick and spot on, and image stabilization is fast and precise. These are all still shots in daylight, 2:00 pm. Amazing I can focus on very close subjects as well. Photos are very sharp and uniform. Beautifully made lense. It's not too heavy, just heavy enough to let you know there are 20 elements. I'm very pleased so far.

Really Good, perfect for Low Light Condition, great zoom lens

Great product! I am very pleased and fits my Sony a7iiii

Excellent, give us a good and clear shot,wide and perfect shot

I opted for the Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 to pair it with my Sony a6400 and I think it works great for the price and if you're looking for an alternative to the Sony equivalent, I would recommend this lens.

This lense does the job, light and perfect for travel photography, highly recommended to those who are looking for light zoom lens.

Absolutely love this lens and the fact that it’s so much lighter than the sigma. It’s great for traveling and feels very natural in hand. And I would spring the extra dollars and get this one with VC in it. Makes a difference!!
