Do you get alot of purple or other color fringing with this lens? Or has Tamron fixed that in these newer lenses?

Interesting question, glad you asked. The short answer is no. If there is any I haven't noticed. Having said that, it is a less expensive lens compared to my Canon 100-400mm which I am used to looking at photos with that lens. I am sure I would have seen any purple or color fringing by now. I guess the largest drawback is that it is not tack sharp as its expensive cousin, that is to be expected, but still very good.

I have not noticed any fringing with this lens. It is on my camera daily it seems and is my go to walk around lens.

Thank you for your time. In regards to your inquiry, the Tamron lens is in fact an AF lens. Please feel free to contact us at 800-991-3350 with any additional questions.

From what I learned doing research on this, the construction of the lens in the scope would normally cause distortions in colors unless corrected. It's a feature on better scopes. I've used this scope extensively and it's very clear and I have not seen any issue with accurate color.

I use it on my tamron 18-270 and have NO trouble with the lens hood. I like the BW filter so much that I just bought another one for my Tamron 28-75 (67mm for the latter). I think the light transmission is excellent!

My experience with a Fisheye add on on lens was very poor. I returned it. I have a different model Fuji the HS20 that also has a fixed lens. It seems the problem is that the computer in the camera is programed to the work with that lens and adding either the fisheye or doubler lens confused the computer. My images we soft and fuzzy, nothing like the clear crisp shots I'm used to getting. Bright colors were also negatively effected, they were dull and muddy. Ciao.

The big disadvantage would be that your lens will not be covered under Tamron's warranty, and you'll be on your own if the lens is found to be defective. That said, I bought my lens in like-new condition from a seller in Korea (it was a store demo), and have not had any problem with it. It's a fantastic macro lens!

Have not tried the tamron the cannon 24-70 2.8L II . Is a a purchase I'll never regret. It holds up against my friends zeiss primes plus blazing fast auto focus

I've never noticed it, but I shot mostly portraits.Here's a photo I took with a7, laea4 and sigma 105 hsm macro. http://500px.com/photo/63465851 .No complaints from me.

Fish Eye Lens Effect around BOTH sides - the only way to get rid of this is to zoom in far enough until it disappears and then leave it that way always. Also the color reproduction isnt very accurate.

I have the original version on a NEX-7. I haven't noticed any purple fringing (chromatic aberration), nor have I gone looking for it. So no comments on that aspect. That aside, to answer your direct question, both the NEX-7 and the A6000 have APS-C size sensors, and E (not FE) lens mounts, so there should be no question that either the original version or the updated version will attach physically, and will have a large enough image circle to fully cover the sensor on either camera.

No, I love this lens. I havent noticed excessive vignetting, and it works fine in continuous auto-focus. I am shooting with a Nikon D300S and have been using the lens for a couple of months.

I used this lens for one year until yesterday without any problems. Just yesterday I am experiencing the same issue: quite focus hunting when zoomed out at 70+ and when it stops it is not on focus! Any idea?

You have 10mm more with the Tamron. You have twice the size aperture comparing 2.8 to 4. That is a huge huge difference. I tested mine in detail at the center and some spots around the corner AT THE SAME APERTURE with my Nikon 24-120, it is every bit as sharp under high magnification. I did quite a scientific comparison. If you know the outstanding optical quality of the Nikon 24-120, you'll be really impressed.

Good timing on your question, because DPReview.com JUST posted their review last week on that lens:http://www.dpreview.com/lensreviews/tamron_70-200_2p8_c16/Optically it appears to be quite good. AF is slow and noisy, but for 694 bucks at Amazon you can't beat the price if budget is a concern.

No, I use a polorizing filter that will boost color. I also have a UV that does protect the lens. It 's a great lens without any as well

I have not had this problem. I would suggest some cleaner. Perhaps the manufacturer can make a recommendation based on the exact materials used to make the lenses.

There is some green flare with this lens, but I don't think it's significantly more than other lenses of this focal length range. It's just something that goes with the territory; something you learn to work around. I wouldn't discount getting this lens because of it. I would add, however, that the flare Is much more pronounced if you use a protective UV or skylight filter - I'd definitely recommend against using a protective filter - especially when shooting backlighting.
