Massdrop has the Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 for only $850.00. This is an excellent price for this newer “G2” version of the lens. Compare with a regular price of $1199.
Free shipping (although you have to wait until a March 18th ship date), and Massdrop‘s site indicates that this comes with Tamron’s 6-year warranty.
Canon and Nikon mounts are available. A very limited quantity is available — 13, at time of posting.
That is a great price on a great lens. Same 24-70mm I have been using. Pretty impressed so far. AF works well, even in poor light. I do see the occasional front or rear focus for seemingly no reason, that is to be expected on a third party lens (has not been a deal breaker). IQ is great, color renders well, and if you have a FF Canon and have been wanting something faster than the 24-105mm F4 then this is one of the best options you have outside of Canon. The VC is a nice feature too, since the Canon F2.8 model does not feature it. And don’t forget that crazy 6 year warranty!
Great lens, great price. I’ve had mine for over a year. Got it for about 865, thanks to 100 in ebay bonus or whatever it was… Aussie selle
r, so no warranty. didn’t matter. It’ works as well as my 150-600 G2
Low quantity available, late ship date. Huh?
