BuyDig is discounting the Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 — it’s now only $1049.00, when you apply coupon code “HOLIDAY150”. You see the discounted price at checkout, on the last page (before you confirm your order.)
This is the “G2” version of the lens, which was released in August 2017. This is a very affordable alternative to the 24-70 II — and it has optical image stabilization!
Tamron also has a great $250 educational mail-in rebate on this lens, if you are an instructor or student at select universities or colleges, in a photography-related field of study. That could bring the price of this lens down to potentially $799 after mail-in rebate!
