mirrorless cameras lenses never need so called calibration…….also calibration does not work unless every time you use your zoom you must calibrate the lens, forget that nonsense, looks like somebody is looking to make you spend your money into their pocket…..
awesome review, as always, keep it up.
The Lens can be locked only at 24mm. Just recheck the user manual. Nice video though.
Enjoyed your Tamron G2 review! I’m sold!
Hi Joseph, Excellent review, I have had it now for about 4 months and love it, very sharp and terrific VC, I had 2 versions of Version 1 and G2 is much better.
Tamron does not make this lens to fit on a Sony A Mount Camera….Sony will not allow it…Sigma also does not make their 24-70mm f2.8 art lens for the Sony A Mount….Sony wants it all, they want to keep their users captive to their over pricing and crappy lenses and very poor service……………
This was a great review. I have good luck with Tamron lenses in the past
Lens creep typically show up in large sports zooms sooner.
how to calibrate the camera
Good job once again…
Great job as always! Since it’s my job to ask dumb questions, is it less important to calibrate with mirrorless bodies since the mirror/sensor difference is not there?
I have a locking switch on my kit Canon 24-105 STM, and more often than not, it’s always locked or unlocked at the wrong time. This zoom portion will easily glide out when dangling. I think a superior system would be to have higher friction zoom when not mounted to a camera, and looser friction when mounted to it. Could be automatic or manual (like the 28-300 L which you can tighten to prevent zooming from your selected focal length). Would save time.
Great great video. You xplain all the details very well. Thank you
#sony a7iii with sigma 50 mm 1.4vs Tamron 28-75 which combination perfect for best picture n video quality…plz suggest me….
JCristina,I just purchased a Tamron 70-200 G2 and it came with the tap-in for calibration. I am shooting a Canon 80D, should I use the tap-in to calibrate or use the Canon built in micro-adjust to calibrate or should I calibrate with the Canon micro-adjust and then if there is any residual adjustments required, use the tap-in? Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much!!
great video man!!! But actually, I need to see the video for the way how can I calibrate my D500 with the 70-200 G2 lens, because as you said most of the pictures which I produce from the camera are slightly blurry:((
Onion ring….. I love onion rings ! N Nice review JC, subbed BTW.
I’m looking at their 10-24mm lens. I already have their 70-300mm and I love it. Was going to buy their macro but I went with the Tokina 100mm based on Theoria Apophasis recommendation.

Great review. I was debating between this and the sigma. Had a really bad experience with Tamron so I went for the Sigma. Did not go with Canon because saving that bit helps to spend on another lens.
Bought myself the Tamron SP 70-200mm G2, first copy I couldn’t even get to focus correctly at 200mm with +20 correction (maximum). Returned, got a second one and tried it out in the store, seemed fine (still needed +16). At home when trying to calibrate properly I could get it either to focus sharp close up, and have it miss further away, or the other way around.
Really wanted to love the lens, didn’t want to risk a third one unable to return it again, returned it for good and went with the Canon. Or buy the tap in console and not get it to focus sharp either, then dealing with the service department and send my lens and camera in for a couple weeks.
I might just have had very bad luck, and I really loved the look and feel of the lens. But a f.2.8 lens is useless if it doesn’t focus sharp, so I chose to spend more money and get the Canon (got lucky and thanks to sales and cashbacks only $200 over the Tamron, add in the tap in console and it’s $100).
Anyways: not trying to discourage people, but I suggest to take your camera with a tripod and focus test into the store and test it before taking it with you.
Thank you, all i need to hear, a non sponsor critique. was using the nikon 24-85mm 3.4.5 G as my 24-70mm mid zoom.
Sounds like a great lens. Tamron’s G2 series are very good.
Great review!!!!
Tam-ron…not Tamarin please!
Great content review J just rented out this lens at LensRentals.com for the D750
only buy from businesses that give a return policy that allows you to return any product for any reason and get a full refund, NO silly charges like restocking fees…THEN, if you have a problem with the focus, you send the item back unril you get one that you can live with….If every person would do this, it would be so expensive to the MFG. that this issue would no longer exist, but people are basicly lazy and stupid ! thank you very much……
I have had the Tamron 70- 200mm f2.8 lens( previous model) for the last 10 years. Absolutely stunning. With your recommendation I shall be looking at buying the 24 70mm. Thank you.
