Do Not Buy A 24-70mm Lens For Your Camera Without Watching This Video First!
I read a lot of photography articles and watch videos on digital camera equipment in the course of any one given day since I am always writing articles here at Modern Lens.
I shoot Canon and I know you Nikon readers are about to go crazy on me but please try to contain yourselves. If you can’t I will try not take it personally.
The next lens on my buying list is the 24-70mm f2.8. Here is a YouTube video deep dive in the pros and cons of buying the Tamron vs the Canon version of that lens.

Very interesting video
I have both brands and the Canon is by far superior.
The Tamron 15-30 f/2.8 VC is an incredible piece of glass that shames L series architecture. The 70-200 f/2.8 VC equals the hallowed L without issue and the 24-70 is just a better value. Canon is nowhere near “by far superior.” They have a lens lineup with greater variety and depth but the SP series products by Tamron have proven, time and again, to meet or exceed first party counterparts. I’ve been selling their lenses at camera stores for years and always recommend them alongside the majors. The six year warranty alone (vs. Canon’s one year warranty in particular) often takes care of the deal.
The 15-30 f/2.8 shames the Canon 16-35 lenses. It’s not even close. The 24-70 is right on par with the f/4 L (which makes it sharper than the f/2.8 L, though the Tamron has a heavier vignette wide open), and the 70-200 VC is an extraordinary piece of glass for the money. Canon and Nikon and Sony should all be considering the rise of professional third party lenses and thinking on a proper response…
