This show was the first time I got to try out the new Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 VC lens. This brand new mid-range zoom is an entirely new design by Tamron that incorporates “Vibration Control,” Tamron’s term that’s basically the same gyroscopic stabilization as Nikon’s Vibration Reduction and Canon’s Image Stabilization technology.
I shot about 95% of the show with the new Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 VC, and I have to say it performed well. I’ve made myself the casual promise to use the Tamron as my main midrange zoom until it disappoints me over the next month.

Hi Todd,
I always hear the rumour about Tamron Focusing, what do you think?
Yeah, nice question, and I just waiting his answer from your question, bro haha
Haha…same as you I’m curious about the lens bro.
Wow, the first photos was taken with Tamron 24-70mm? Nice and still sharp..
Can’t wait for your review about that lens and the whole set.
Yes, that’s the Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 VC at f/2.8. Optically, this lens is great so far. Though to be honest, any lens could look decent at only 600px wide!
Yep right haha, I’ve seen your tweet about tamron 24-70mm last week, and I’m just curious how that lens works.
Thanks for the info, todd!

Hey Farid,
I have the 24-70 f2.8 version of the Tamron lens that is previous to what Todd has (the non-VC). I’ve been using it just over a year now on a Nikon D7000. So many times it ends up being my go to lens. I can tell you that it works great for me.. if that helps at all.
Thanks Dave.
Yes sure it helps, Maybe I’ll save some to buy this lens.
