      I got this lens a month ago and did couple of portrait shoots with it. It is a very sharp lens and works fantastic in low light conditions. The image stabilization is pretty robust and is definitely an advantage. For the price point, I think it is the best lens

      I originally had the Sigma 70-200 f2.8, but decided to make the switch. This is a better performer overall.

      Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 SP Di VC USD Lens Review
      While the Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 Di VC USD Lens is not Tamron's first 70-200mm f/2.8 lens, it is their first version to include vibration control. VC alone is a great upgrade feature, but the upgraded image quality in this lens is also big bonusFull Review

      Tamron SP 70-200mm f2.8 Di VC USD
      Testing the Tamron SP 70-200/2.8 VC left me with mixed feelings. It looks like a respectable design delivering very good to excellent performance in many cases, but my first sample suffered from some glitches. Thus I got a second copy of this lensFull Review
