Is this lens equivalent to the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras?

Not only is it equivalent, I think it might even be better than the Canon. Lightning fast focus. Plus you save around $1200.

I'd say yes. You can look up a nice comparison in YouTube by thatnikonguy (matt granger) whew he looks at the canon, tamron, and Sigma equivalents in the 70 to 200 range. The tamron held up very well

On a scale of 1-10 to match its equivalent its a 9. Unless you are a serious professional photographer who does serious editing and makes a ton of money then go with the Canon, but if this is not the case BUY THE TAMRON LENS you wont see or feel the difference. friend has the canon 70-200 lens and boy does he regret buying it.

I do not have firsthand experience with the Canon lens, however I would say that this lens is well built with very fast focusing and costs much less than the Canon. Can and will easily recommend this lens to anyone! You won't go wrong with it.
1398397
Yes, this is Tamron's equivalent, and has been adequate in most situations.
1398398
Yes. It might be a touch behind on quality, but it is a very good, highly-reviewed lense for a fraction of the price. Very well built.

Yes this lens works on any mount that a L lens or lens with a similar mount. BTW this lens is my BEST purchase out of all my lenses. This includes the 70-200 L 2.8 w/ IS. The 35mm is my favorite lens in the Rokinon Kit, followed by the 85mm lens. If you are considering purchasing, do so today. Send me a response and thank me in a month :)

Yes I would take the 24-70 2.8 because of the speed. This lens is my go to lens, it is a work horses. I back it up with my 70-200 2.8.

I have a Canon 60D with Ef70-200 4.0 IS USM lens and it fits perfectly. I am not sure what the battery grip does to the size of the camera but I think the lens is the same size. Not sure if this helps or not.

I'm sorry but haven't even looked at any tripod mounts for this lens. It's not bulky and heavy like a Canon EF 70-200mm IS L lens or anything so you may be just fine with just the affixing the camera body directly to the tripod. I found this tripod mount and have read it's designed specifically for this lens: http://www.mu-43.com/showthread.php?t=41512

No, this is an Alpha-mount lens that works with only Minolta and Sony camera bodies. Canon offers several similar lenses. Just search on Amazon for "Canon EF 70-300" and you will find three lenses.

I am using it on a canon SL1. Check out this site. http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/ef_lens_lineup/ef_s_18_200mm_f_3_5_5_6_is.

I don't have any idea on how it compares to Cannon. I shoot with Pentax equipment. I know that it is an exceptional lens that provides high quality images at a reasonable price. I use it for indoor sports and it performs well. If you are shooting for personal use I would say buy the Tamron. If you shoot professionally then go for the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras by Canon. This lens is about $2,000.00. You can pass the cost to the clients.

Will this work well with the Canon EF 70-200 L lens? Is there a list somewhere of compatible lenses?
2207676
It is the US version with Canon warranty. I have since learned that the color of the lens is a soft grey as opposed to the off white color of my 70-200 L IS lens. I liked it, but I returned it and bought the 70-200 L IS and the telephoto extender.

no, that is Tamron SP 70-200MM F/2.8 DI VC USD Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon (FX) CamerasIf you have the funds, but the VC version, If not, the optics on this lens is the same w/o the VC... focusing is slower too.

I don't have the 200mm, so can't compare. I have no complaints on this lens, if that helps.

Yes, the Canon DSLR's take EF lenses, just keep in mind that they tend to magnify a bit by around 1.5x (e.g., 28-90mm is more like 42-135mm)

Yes. The Canon EOS 70D will accept both EF and EF-S mount lenses. The Canon version of this lens is an EF mount. It will work in both automatic focus and manual focus modes.

That lens would be too heavy and expensive to manufacture. You think the 70-200 2.8 II is heavy? That lens would be a beast. The manufacturing design of a lens that has in its range very wide to telephoto is extremely complex at 2.8 max aperture. I don't see it happening in the near to medium future (5 to 10 years) if ever.

Only the 18-55mm EF-S IS STM Lens + EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Telephoto Zoom Lens are Canon brand. The others (wide angle and 58 mm telephoto) are a brand I wasn't familiar with and actually we haven't used them yet.

hello Mr HickeyI would believe so, since it is interchangeable with the Canon lenses. (it is not system specific) all it does is let you get closer to the subject (ring, jewelry, flowers, etc) Close up lenses comes in different magnifications.If you are planning to use this to get up close to far away subjects like birds - you need the "extender" instead. Extenders comes in 1.4X and 2X, which makes your 200mm long-end into a 400mm f/5.6 (you loss two stops of light)hope that help.
