Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 Overview
Standard zoom is designed for full-frame Canon EF-mount DSLRs, however can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 38.6-112mm equivalent focal length range.
Bright f/2.8 constant maximum aperture affords consistent brightness throughout the zoom range, and benefits working in difficult lighting conditions.
Two XR (extra refractive) and three LD (low dispersion) elements are featured in the optical design to noticeably limit color fringing and chromatic aberrations for improved clarity, color fidelity, and apparent sharpness.
Three glass-molded aspherical elements and one hybrid aspherical element help to reduce chromatic aberrations and distortion throughout the zoom range to deliver notable sharpness and accurate rendering.
Both eBAND and BBAR coatings have been applied to suppress ghosting and lens flare for improved contrast when working in backlit conditions.
VC image stabilization helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake by up to 5 stops or more effective handheld shooting in difficult lighting conditions. Separate VC modes are also available to suit various styles of shooting: Mode 1 is a balanced setting for general use, and promotes both a stabilized viewfinder image and stabilized results, while Mode 2 is designed exclusively for panning movements.
An Ultrasonic Silent Drive autofocus motor delivers quick and precise focusing performance to suit working with moving subjects. This motor also affords full-time manual focus control, and it is possible to focus on subjects as close as 1.25' away.
A moisture-resistant construction benefits this lens' use in inclement conditions, and a fluorine coating has also been applied to the front lens element to protect against dust, dirt, and smearing.
Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
Compatible with optional TAP-in Console for fine-tuning select focusing adjustments and for updating lens firmware.

Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 Reviews
Tamron 24-70mm G2 for Nikon F
By Jeffrey
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-07-06
Just purchased a used 24-70mm G2. Initial tests show I got a good unit. I’ve read lots of good and not so good reviews. Could not afford the Nikon ED VR, and I wasn’t impressed with Sigma’s 24-70. Using the Tamron on my D810 with excellent results across all zoom/focus distances. And so far I see no focus breathing. A complaint I’ve read often. Absolute consistency through the range, especially with the AF that has gotten such mixed reviews. My initial tests were focusing to the very left side of the frame, was super quick and grabbed the area without any hunting. And I will say this lens is sharp. Love its rendering. I already have Tamrons 35 f/1.8, also a stellar lens. IMO, best 24-70mm for the money. B&H has always been a go to store for me and always super happy with their customer service.

A well built high quality lens perfect as a walk about and general use lens. Quick auto focusing with excellent image quality makes this lens a dream to use. The VC really works well especially in low light and when not using a tripod. I did a lot of research before choosing this lens over other competing brands of 24-70mm lenses. I felt this lens best met my needs when shooting with my Canon 5d Mark 4.

Will this lens work correctly with the newest firmware update Firmware Version 1.0.8.1 on the Canon C70?
According to users on the Canon cinema camera Facebook page this lens is no longer fully functional with the introduction of firmware 1.0.8 on the c70. Tamron and Canon need to put aside their differences and communicate on these matters for the sake of their respective customers.

- Does Canon 5D4 recognizes it and allows to Enable "Lens Aberration Correction" features? (I know it's designed for Canon lenses but I had a Tamron recognized and these features worked very well)
- Is it smooth pulling focus on Video with DualPixelAF and touching LCD screen on the 5D4?
Thank you very much!
I can only tell you that it works well with my 5D3.

Does the cont.autofocus work on Sony A7III in video mode with Sigma mount converter MC-11 Canon EF-E ?
The focus is not consistent with the adapter. It would be better to get the Tamron 28-75 which is made for the Sony mount. Please take a look at the following link: https://bhpho.to/3an5E7U

Will his work with canon 5D Mark ll ?
The lens mount is compatable with a 5d mkII for sure. I'm not sure how auto focus will play. This feels less sharp on my 5d mkIII than the G1 version of this lens. Auto focus itself does not work at all on the Canon C200. I've always like Tamron, but I've had better luck with the G1 versions of their lenses.

Does this lens fit the canon eos 90D?
Does this lens fit the canon eos 90D?
Yes. As an EF mount lens, it will also mount without an adapter to an EF-S lens mount (as used on the 90D) and operate as it should. I have used it on my 80D with no problems.
