muy bueno
Es un lente con una altísima calidad óptica, el enfoque es suave y silencioso. Se desenvuelve bien para casi cualquier tipo de fotografía, es uno de los mejores sin duda.Lo he utilizado en Nikon D500, D750 y Z6 con adaptador (hay que actualizar el firmware del lente y se necesita el infame Console Tap In), en todas funciona bastante bien. Sólo es superado por el Nikon FL ED de los lentes actuales.

Superb piece of kit.
Beautifully built, tactile feel in the hands is excellent, sharp, great resolution and colour rendition, and thoutful integration of Arca Swiss compatible tripod mounting plate.Only criticism is that the vibration control and autofocus buttons sit slightly proud of the main barrel of the lens and can be easily moved to a different position or off in the case of the AF/MF button (particularly if your camera is slung over your shoulder, hanging to your side against your body). Can be temporarily alarming when looking through the viewfinder and autofocus seemingly isn't working on your camera. Obviously, easily corrected and nothing significant enough to detract from a high rating. Maybe one of the best value lenses today on the market.

On Par with the Nikon 70-200 E FL, which I Tested
As with many Nikon users taking a serious look at this Tamron G2 lens and the Nikon FL, I researched to gain insight as to relative performance of these two lenses, deciding whether or not I should go with the $1300 Tamron or fork up the $2800 for the new Nikon E FL, anticipating that I would not buy another 70-200 f/2.8 for years to come.As an aside, I own an A7RII and an A6500, for which I have some of the best glass. The 90mm macro and 55 f/1.8 are razor sharp lenses, by the way. I was willing to buy the 70-200 Master ($2600), for which I would use to shoot/video action in low light conditions. But that lens on those two top-of-the-line Sony bodies has way too many autofocus issues. The Sony 70-200GMaster, which I tested, is pretty sharp, but what use is a 2.8 telephoto that can't focus in low light conditions? You're better off just getting the Sony 70-200 f/4, which, given the Sony 70-200 f/2.8's poor low light performance, would basically give you the same performance in a lighter less expensive body. I just throw my 55f/1.8 and zoom by foot to cover the 70-100mm range on my A6500 and throw the 90mm macro on the same to cover the 130+ range. Remember, the 200mm on the Sony 70-200mm is more like a 150mm due to focus breathing. In any case, due its poor low light performance, the Sony was disqualified, even though I prefer Sony for still photography and video.Back to the Tamron 70-200 G2 and the 70-200mm Nikon E FL:I went to a local camera store which sells and rents all the top-of-the-line lenses. There I hooked up the 70-200mm Nikon FL to my Nikon D750.To my 20-15 pixel-peeping eyes, the Nikon FL seems to have slightly, and I mean SLIGHTLY, better sharpness wide open in the center of the frame and better magnification--i.e., less focus breathing. While in the store, I took dozens upon dozens of wide open photos at 70, 85, 100, 130, 170, and 200mm and compared them in Lightroom to photos of the 70-200mm Tamron G2 and the Sony 70-200mm GMaster, which I only attached to my A6500. I understand the Master would have been sharper on my A7RII, but both cameras use the latest versions of 24mp+- CMOS sensors, making the comparisons somewhat on par, I guesstimate. Plus, the poor focusing of the Sony, which was validated on my A6500, disqualifies that lens for action photography or other forms of low light photography.IMHO, the new Nikon FL, which I was willing to buy in a split second were it as sharp as some say, is not worth $1500 more than the Tamron G2. I wouldn't pay $1800 for that lens, especially now that I've tested the Tamron G2, which is basically the SAME LENS. REALLY. For its slight increase in center sharpness and decrease in focus breathing, the new Nikon may be worth $250 more, IMO, as the slight edge in center sharpness is truly negligible. In fact, I would have instantly either suffered from buyers remorse after purchasing the Nikon FL or rationalized/validated the purchase of it by convincing myself that its worth every penny to suppress buyers remorse. That lens is not worth $3000 and neither is the Sony 70-200 GMaster. If the Tamron were not as good as the Nikon, then the Nikon may be worth $3k; but the Tamron is as good as the Nikon, maybe even better, if you look at the totality of the lens, not just it's center sharpness.Let me tell you why.The Tamron SP 70-200 G2 is just as sharp. I tell you no lie. But that's more or less to be expected. IMO, all the 70-200 f/2,8 and F/4's are pretty much as sharp as the other. You have to really pixel peep to see the difference. Where they distinguish themselves is in their low light performance--wide open. That's what you pay the big bucks for.What is good low light performance on a lens? It's the ability to quickly find focus in low light conditions. The camera is responsible for the ISO performance, not the lens. And when it comes to the low light performance of the Tamron G2: Absolutely Awesome Low Light Performance.On my D750, the Tamron G2 acquires focus instantaneously. To be fair, the Nikon FL acquired focus instantaneously on my D750, as well. Both the Tamron G2 and the Nikon FL acquire focus instantaneously on my D750. It is truly truly remarkable. Having said that, the Tamron does so for $1500 less.It's sort of like clothes shopping. The name brand item is better than the generic brand, 90% of the time. But sometimes it isn't. In this case, the name brand Nikon is only slightly better than the reverse-engineered Tamron, but the difference is truly negligible, unless you pixel peep on Lightroom in 100% crop mode. And that's only in the very center of the frame, looking at an eyelash or the microscopic hairs on the persons nose. Fresh out-of-the-box, my Tamron G2 instantly focuses on anything I point it at, less a plain white wall or some other contrast-less thing. But all lenses do that. And no, I did not hook up the Tap-in-Console to achieve that level of focus acquisition.In a nutshell, the sharpness, focus acquisition, lens stabilization, seeming build quality, and warranty of the two lenses is virtually identical. The Nikon is lighter, seems to be a tad bit brighter, and the focus rings are smoother, but that's it. $1500 more for that? Not me.Instead of paying about $3k for the Nikon or Sony, I bought the Tamron G2 and the D750--all brand new for $3100 or the same price you will pay if you buy the Nikon locally and pay tax.If you buy online, make sure to buy from a reputable dealer like Amazon, B&H, or Adorama. I wouldn't risk any open-box or used copies of any of these lenses, given the QC issues reported.What's more, both lenses are said to have quality control issues. However, both lenses come with extended warranties, and Tamron even went so far as to develop a Tap-in Console, enabling fine-tunings.I highly recommend the Tamron SP 70-200mm G2.Update:The lens is still performing very well, and I received a $200 Rebate check from Tamron because I qualified for the Student Rebate, per the Tamron Website.

Great Lens for the Money
I was looking to get this legendary focal length to shoot sports, and left with the age old predicament: do I get the more costly Nikon version? Or get the cheaper Tamron?When I got into photography the Tamron 150-600mm was one of my first lenses, and I absolutely love it. The IQ is good, pictures come out sharp and vibrant. So based on this, I knew Tamron produced some good telephoto lenses. The Nikon version f/2.8G used in good/great condition sells for around what this Tamron is new. I watched so many videos comparing lenses but what I kept coming back to was, even if there was slightly less IQ and AF speed in the Tamron, for the same price I'm getting a high quality lens from a company I trust, with a 6 year manufacturers warranty. It's hard to beat that just for the slight bump in IQ and AF of the Nikon.I've been using this lens for around 2-3 weeks now and ended up buying a second for my wife. The lens is awesome! Unless you are a professional, this lens is the best bet to get what you need! I consistently yield sharp, crispy pictures that stun my viewers (work with a lot of sports moms). I've been able to gain tons of attention and network farther than I ever thought, in a shorter time frame than I could ever have imagined, thanks to what this lens enables me to do.If you're not familiar with these types of high quality, wide aperture lenses, be warned that they are heavy! Much heavier than kit lenses or smaller primes. Make sure you know what you're getting into as a full frame DSLR + battery grip + this lens will easily weigh upwards of 7-10lbs. May not seem like much but after shooting for 30-60mins your arms may not still agree about it not being much! I use a monopod with a Wimberley monogimbal head when I have to stand with this thing for a long time. I've shot on straps too, and think a harness would make it easier. It's far from a deal breaker and not even much of an issue for me personally, but my wife struggled with the lens at first due to the weight.All in all, highly recommend this lens! For what it is, I'd give it a 99 out of 100. What is that 1 point, you ask? The buttons on the side of the lens are way, way too easy to move. Most lenses I've seen have oval, wider buttons that are strong and don't easily get flipped. This Tamron has these ribbed buttons that move up and down, so if you accidentally brush them with your hand or body you can easily change settings and mess up shots! Just something to get used to.
