Samuel Berger Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 As some of you may have read on the other thread, I'm now awaiting my new Canon EOS R (the baby C200). And the one lens I often hear people suggest I get is the 70-200mm. Well there are a couple choices. The L series has the II ($1799) and the III ($2099) but Tamron has a much cheaper option at $1099 WITH image stabilisation. That would be the Tamron SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC G2. Are there visible differences between these? Or just to pixel-peepers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own a Sigma 18-35 Art and it's very noisy when focusing. I should probably include that as a criteria as well. I wonder which is quieter.

If shooting a completely white surface, I'm pretty sure you'll still notice it even with a crop sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Sunshine Saliba Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I only have the first version of the Canon 70-200mm F2.8 L IS, but it's been bulletproof! The only weak spot is the flare in the back lit subjects. The mark ii has fixed this problem. I haven't shot with the mark iii yet. It's worth the money in peace of mind as well as resell value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
