I LOVE my lens. I also am using a Tamron 1.4 TC SP and it works fantastic with little degradation in IQ. This lens at 280 f/4 is sweet. It has made me rethink my desire for an EF 300 f/4 IS.

That is a very nice shot. I intend to test the lens with the extenders I have (both a Canon 1.4x II and a Kenko Pro300. I've owned the Tamron 1.4x before, but sold it a few years back because I wasn't using it much.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but does the new Tamron 70-200 work with the Canon extender? I can't seem to find that answer anywhere.

Carl, it does work with the Canon extender. I personally think that it does better with the Kenko Pro300, but it does work with the Canon extender (other than aperture doesn't properly report in the EXIF).

seems to provide much smoother bokeh than my 70-200/2.8L v2! But I knew it would.
Smoother than my Nikon 70-200/4 VR. too.

The bokeh is better. The V2 still has it beat in AF speed (a bit) and works much better with extenders. As a bare lens, however, the Tamron provides stunningly good value.
