Tamron's new 24-70mm f2.8 VC

[ageha]

Having used and owned the 24-70L (mark 1) and 24-70VC, the Canon is still faster. But what make bought the Tamron is it's weight & VC for F2.8 weather-seal lens

Erm, it isn't really weather sealed. Tamron doesn't claim that anywhere.

Yup, moisture-resistant construction. I don't think it has proper weather sealing.

good enuff for me lor and i belif most of the ppl in Singapore. i'm sure it is enuff for bro rodz too! woot woot!


i dun think i need it to be 'snow-sealed', '100m resistant', 'wind sealed' etc.


wahahahahhahaa

i'll just have to be careful and mindful when i'm using it, just like the way I do to my other lenses. some common sense here. :bsmilie:

Totally agree...even with weather-seal nobody would bring their gears out in a harsh weather condition. Owners will still look after their gears.

ok, currently sigma nikon f-mount no stock. my source in taiwan states that it is for sale there (nikon f-mount) at S$1050. i'll take this amount to be something of a ballpark figure for nikon mount.

din't ask about canon. will do so soon.

Hi Guys, has anyone done a real comparison between Tamron 24-70 VC with Canon 24-70 Mk2?

I'm using Canon 5D3 and is wondering if I should spend $2.9K on the canon 24-70 Mk2 or buy Tamron 24-70 VC + Sigma 35 f1.4
Both works out to be about the same cash out.
