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

[Xie Zhichun]

No problem, because the AF system is so good it's a waste if u can't use the side AF on the mark iii, that's wad I feel.

Hi..

I have a Tamron 24-70 VC.
I'm intending to upgrade from my Canon 650D to a 5Dmkiii.
Is anyone using the Tamron with a mkiii?
Any issues to consider?

THanks!

All of the shots I posted were shot with the 5d3, so you check those out and judge for yourself.
As I have already mentioned the quirks about the lens, which isn't new, so if you read up, you will have your answer.

Zhichun >> You are right.. The highlight of the 5d3 is the af system.. I shall use the tammy for the time being before switching to another more compatible lens.
THanks for the advice.

Kenneth >> Thanks for pointing out the pics. Looks smashing. Can't wait....

I have been using this lens with my 5dm3 since the start of the year and i have not encountered any problem so far.

This is the thread for Tamron 24-70mm VC...

Does someone use the lens on a D600/610 or any other camera with the Multi- CAM 4800 module? How reliable are the AF points with the lens?

Where can you buy The Green Pod in Singapore? I asked Cathay but they don't stock them anymore.

Hi guys! I am currently looking at Tamron 24-70 as one of my options!
I would love to know if Tamrom 24-70 has slow AF and other possible issues? TIA!

Hi, I am lucky enough to find an excellence 2nd hand 24-70 with plenty of warranty left (local set)......I must say that the VC and the IQ is excellent.....REALLY value for $ compared to the nikkor 24-70.......I am planning to use this as my walk around lens for my upcoming holidays in HK......

Thanks ATR!

Do you have to experiences with both?

 

[ATR76ers]

YEs, if fact was using my friend's nikkor and although the IQ is slightly better in the nikkor, but (IMHO) does not governs the huge price difference.....that is why I say value for $
