Customer Ratings & Reviews

Having a 50mm and a 35mm already I debated this lens for nearly a year before purchasing it. I will be working as a second shooter for my first wedding in the summer and didn't feel my current lenses would work as well. So far I am very happy with this lens. Especially in low light. It seems much sharper. And I am finally getting the images I see in my mind into the camera. I have also taken some great landscape photos. It is on the heavy side, as other reviewers also said, but definitely sturdy. This was a huge purchase for me but I have no regrets.

This lens is for either an amateur or the professional. The clarity of this lens is so amazing, hardly any editing is required! It’s my absolute favorite lens so far! I would highly recommend it to any photographer, beginning to professional.

The pictures comes out better than I expected. I really like this lens. It allows me to shoot hand held even if my hands shakes.

I have a small studio and this Lense gives me very sharp photos in my limited space. It is awesome for weddings and group shots.

I have used the lens shooting low light in a church and for school spring photos. It has delivered great results.

I seen a video on YouTube and they shown how much sharper this lens is at 2.8 compared to the Nikon and I was interested. I held off on buying it, thankfully. The main reason was I saved even more money because they marked this lens down even more. I jumped on it and I'm so happy. This lens is extremely sharp and worth every penny.

This lens blows away so many lenses out there that are so much more expensive. The glass on this is pure quality and produces amazing photos when using on a FX camera.

This lens is a great money saving alternative to the nikkor lens of the same specs. Looking forward to taking this on vacation to see how it adapts to diverse conditions.

Great lens and on sale , keeping up with the big boys!

this are very excellent lenses i bought this instead of nikon version for half the cost.

This lens has met my expectations. I have used it many times.

I purcahse this lens because of the price difference between the Nikon 24-70 f2.8 w/o VR. This lens has great image quality and the the vc is awesome. But, the VC does need time too "warm up" when in use. When shooting, if you don't feel that "jolt" that indicates the vc is working, expect a blurry picture is hand held below 1/60 shutter speed. I usually fire off a pic beforehand to get the vc "warn', then its great afterwards. If the 24-70 is your be all or go to lens. I would get the Nikon w/o VR instead. The Nikon with VR is an overprice awful lens. If you need a lens for low light, then I recommend the Tamron
