Tamron usually make excellent lenses, but the Tamron 24-70mm doesn’t appear to be one of them. Of course it may be that I have just been unlucky and bought a below average sample, but although fit and finish are very plasticky and lightweight, the lens seems well made, with a reasonably smooth zooming action and positive click stops on the aperture ring. However, results have been less satisfactory, especially at 24mm. Results at the wide end of the zoom are very soft at full aperture and it’s about f8 before there’s any sort of crispness to the image. From 28-70 performance is much better, and if that was the full range I’d be reasonably happy with the lens’s performance.
