Announced in February 2012, the Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 lens Di VC USD is the latest full-frame, fast aperture standard zoom from the Saitama, Japan-based optical firm and is the first of its type to add VC (Vibration Control) image stabilization. Costing $1299 and available in Canon, Nikon and Sony fittings (the latter albeit without VC) and featuring USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) technology, it’s an obvious alternative to the pricier offerings from the top-names. Could this lens be a contender in the IQ stakes? Read on to find out. |

Tamron vs Nikon lens comparison
Cameralabs in review of nikon 24-85 vr mentioned that it compares well with Tamron. I hope your test of nikon 24-85 vr on D3X or D600 coming soon.

Re: Tamron vs Nikon lens comparison
After holiday sales, I got D600 with 24-85mm VR lens and very happy with my choice of full frame DSLR and quality of the lens. Since than I am checking daily your website with hope to get DXOmark scores on that lens on D600 or D3X. There are a lot of those lens used and tested already with conflicting reports from different testing websites on quality of that lens. My friend bought 5D Mark III with 24-70mm 2.8L lens and we went to photo trip together. When we compared and discussed photos from that trip we agreed that overall quality of the equilalent photos is very close. Being an engineer I am waiting for numerical confirmation. I am pretty sure that the scores will be high. I generally agree with your testing results and your test data are are helping me in my future lens selection.

Just a bit confused
Emilie, says "The reason is that the Sony Carl Zeiss 24-70mm looses some sharpness in the field, where it is outperformed by the other ones."
Something is being lost in translation. In what field ??? How can a lens that is rated sharp loose sharpness when you take it outside into a field ??? Please clarify. Reply | Read all replies for this comment |

Re: Just a bit confused
Hello,
I am sorry, I indeed lost myself in translation :) I meant that the Sony Carl Zeiss 24-70mm tends to be less sharp in the center of the (visual) field; it's its great weakness comparing to the other lenses. I hope it is clearer! Best, Emilie Reply |

24-70 comparison
Just having difficulty figuring out how the Sony CZ 24-70 scores low compared to these 3? Sharpness is higher than all 3, transmission is in line with both Canon and Nikon, distortion is at the top level along with the Tamron, vignetting it beats all 3, and CA is the same as the Canon (right between the other two). This should put is slightly in front of the pack, but then read about the 'blue bar range' for different FL - ok so here it seems about on par or maybe a little better than the Tamron and Nikon, but not as good as the Canon.
So how does it score a 21 when it exceeds certainly at the very least the Nikon (where it equals or beats it in all metrics) and the Nikon gets a 24 overall score? I know these are tested on different cameras, but how does that effect the weightings? Reply | Read all replies for this comment |

Hi,
The reason is that the Sony Carl Zeiss 24-70mm looses some sharpness in the field, where it is outperformed by the other ones. Best, Emilie Reply |
