Tamron vs Canon 70-200mm f/2.8

  1. Interesting video. I’d like to know, however, how the two lenses compare purely in terms of sharpness. It would be great to see or do a star test on them.

    1. Hello Auke, thank you for your comment. Kai did touch on sharpness in min 6:34, commenting that the canon has better centre and corner sharpness, although not by much. Your request has been noted however and we’ll see if we can find a sharpness test to share.
