Beautiful bokeh, good portrait and closer-sports zoom range, and doesn’t cost nearly as much as a GMaster. What else could you ask for?
I use an a7iii body and autofocus is insane fast. Tamron did a good job.

Amazing lens, for the price you really can't beat it. The only downside is that the zoom element is built from plastic, therefore if you want to avoid breaking it, be gentle rotating the zoom element or taking the hood on or off.

Very clear sharp lens and super happy with the results. I was saving up for the 70-200 f2.8 G Master but I just could not justify the cost for my use. Next purchase will be the Tamron 28-70 f2.8 to replace my kit lens.

A great alternative to the Sony 70-200 2.8, from a cost and weight saving perspective. If you don't need those extra 20mm this is a great way to lighten your load when traveling or having to wear your camera strap for an extended period of time.

A great budget option compared to the 70-200 lense

I was looking for something to fill the gap between my 28-75 and 200-600 so this fit in pretty well. It’s a solid lens for that medium zoom length where you want to just get a little bit closer, but can’t quite get there physically. It’s great for portraits with a nice separation. Also amazing for when you want to get some decent animal shots. I get that for the price you’re making some sacrifices, so be sure your camera has good ibis if you’re planning on shooting handheld.

Sharp lens, good quality construction for the price. Wish it has stabilizations, but at this price point you really can't complain.
