    70–210mm · f/2.8

    Overview

    The Tamron SP AF 70-210mm f/2.8 LD offers sharp optics, especially at f/4 and beyond, with good contrast and detail. Weaknesses include noticeable chromatic aberration at wide apertures and slow autofocus, though a limit switch helps. Build quality is excellent, described as 'built like a tank', but the lens is heavy. It suits budget-conscious users seeking a fast telephoto zoom for portraits or general use, but not fast-action sports.
