and what's your opinion on this lens bro? for that price i think its a reasonable alternative to the km/ sony 70-200 although it lacks ssm and optics may not produce the same quality in terms of bokeh and colour. |

from what i read: sigma 70-200 f2.8 : fast focus, ok image quality tamron 70-200f2.8: slower focus, better image quality, slightly cheaper than sigma |

that's strange. so far i've found the opposite is true. all tamrons focus faster (AF) but produce softer images, sigmas are the opposite. |
