Our take on the Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 Lens for Nikon F

A constant-aperture f/2.8 standard zoom for Nikon F-mount DSLRs, covering wide group shots to tight portraits. It stands out with built-in VC image stabilization, a fast, quiet USD ring motor and moisture-resistant, fluorine-coated construction. It suits event, wedding and travel shooters who want one lens for most of the day. Against first-party 24-70mm f/2.8 zooms it gives up little in optics while adding stabilization many rivals lack, and owners rate it as a strong value workhorse.

Questions and answers

Is the VC stabilization worth having on a 24-70mm?
Yes for handheld low-light work. VC lets you shoot at slower shutter speeds than the focal length would normally allow, which helps at events and indoors.
How does it compare with Nikon's 24-70mm f/2.8?
It adds stabilization that the Nikon f/2.8 zooms generally lack and is close in sharpness. The Nikon is often a bit sharper at the edges wide open and holds resale better.
Does autofocus work on all Nikon F-mount DSLRs?
It is built for Nikon F mount and uses a USD ring motor, so it autofocuses on DSLRs with a screw-drive-free AF system. Check compatibility with older entry-level bodies.
What is in the box?
The lens comes with front and rear caps, a hood and a case. A tripod collar is not included.
Is it good for portraits?
Yes. At 70mm and f/2.8 it gives shallow depth of field and pleasing background blur, though it is large next to a dedicated 85mm prime.
Will it fit a full-frame Nikon?
Yes, it is a full-frame Di lens and also works on APS-C Nikon DSLRs, where it behaves like a 36-105mm equivalent.
Where is the Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 Lens for Nikon F cheapest?
At IMPULSE, for $1,199.00, as of our latest check.
