I'm looking at purchasing a Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD for use on my Nikon D-750 in lieu of the Nikon version of this lens
Cost is the reason, as I don't take lots of pictures and can't see spending them difference in $$ for the Nikon

Does anyone have an good or bad comments on this combination.

According to DxO the Tamron 24-70 is the best bet for quality and price.

Thanks for the input. I think I've about made up my mind. Looking for some photos on the internet now . But for the price/performance I think it's the way to go

I don't have any experience with the specific combination, but I got rid of my Nikon when I discovered how much Nikon discourages the use of non-Nikon lenses with their cameras. If you have any trouble they will just tell you they don't support other lenses than their own.

Thank you for the advice :) I have only Nikon kit lens at the moment and was trying to watch cost as get better performance

I have a 750 and use this lens , it's an excellent combination, however I've not used the Nikon 24-70, price and VC was my deciding factor when I bought the Tamron, and I haven't been disappointed

Thank you for the comments :) Price and VR is my main reason too

Does anyone have the Tamron 24-70 that they would share pics of at the 24mm area :) I would really appreciate
if you can't post to the forum, my email address is lpowell@sc.rr.com if you would send a couple of examples

I have read several articles and think I am going ahead with the Tamron lens
Thanks to each of you for you help with my question

Not good for sports and probably wildlife as the autofocus is so slow, so I keep it for other types of images.

Lloydpow

Thank you so much. My primary use will be landscapes. I'm looking for an alternative to the very expensive Nikon . I do want the 2.8 but looks like I might settle for a Fixed 24mm for landscapes
