I've done an immense amount of research before buying this lens and all of the reviews I've read/watched by well known photographers and companies say it's better than the Nikon 24-70mm (non VR) at a fraction of the price. And after receiving the lens and using it on many different occasions the image quality is sharp at all points of the frame, little vignetting, the VC works great and is awesome for handheld shots and the auto focus is very quick. Overall I love this lens and couldn't recommend it enough!

I have this Tamron 24-70mm on my Nikon D810 and the first lens bought new and was grey market lens and had a loose barrel right from the start. Could not achieve sharpness. Second lens was US model bought used, it was ok but the barrel on this one gradually became loose as well. That may have been my fault somewhat do to leaving the barrel extended out and leaving it set with the cameras weight on it often. The second lens I bought new ( I live in the US) from Tamron Canada, I have used it now for 7 months and it has a nice tight and smooth barrel and is the sharpest lens I have had yet.

Sharp, accurate color, fast focus, quiet, even with vibration control (effective) on. Price, performance and features with VC are super competitive with Nikon's excellent 24-70..

I already absolutely love the lens – a great upgrade from what I'd had previously for my Nikon D800 (a prime 50mm Nikkor 50:D). Sharp image, vivid colors, fairly quiet motor. Excited to keep getting to know it over time but so far very enthusiastic! It is a little heavy – no plot twist if you read the specs, but you know – you get high quality so it's a trade off I was more than happy to make!

Is this handy for events and all around situations. Is this the sharpest lens? No. I did some portraits with my 85 mm 1.8 G on my D7200 and it was sharper, like 30% better. I like it so far, but I do not know if I will keep it. I am not very pleased with its results. I may just come back to my 85 and 50 mm on the G versions which perform better and they are way cheaper. However, I must say, it is all about sensations. I do not know if I will get used to it, but it might be easier to work with zoom lenses.
