Tamron 70-200 G2 Thorough Review by Dustin

[TWI by Dustin Abbott]

Hi everyone,
I’ve finally gotten my coverage wrapped up on the new 70-200 G2. I will release one more direct comparison between the G2 and the Canon 70-200L II, but I’ll hold off a bit on releasing that.

Here’s the text review: http://bit.ly/70200G2DA
Here’s the final video review: http://bit.ly/70200G2Vid
Image Gallery: http://bit.ly/70200G2IG
Whole Video Playlist (Image Quality, Build, Extenders, Focus Breathing, etc…): http://bit.ly/70200G2Playlist

To my knowledge this represents the most comprehensive review of the lens that has been done at this point, and I’ve had a strong response to the content released to this point. People are interested in the lens. This should help to answer a lot of questions about it. I cover image quality, autofocus, focus breathing, use with extenders, use on APS-C, and even used it some via adapter on a Sony A7rII.

Terrific review as always Dustin, I enjoyed reading and watching the videos. The G2 sounds like a terrific option if the focus breathing isn't a significant issue for your intended use.

Terrific images as well, I really like #1, #4 and #5.

I really like the shot of the horse ("windblown")!

I don't see myself selling my Canon and switching to the Tamron, but after reading Dustin's review I'd definitely be taking a close look at the Tamron if I was in the market for a 70-200 now.
