Tamron 70-200mm f2.8 looks better than the canon?

[rgrebby]

Ive been playing around with the tests at http://www.the-digital-picture.com/...p=470&CameraComp=453&SampleComp=0&FLI=4&API=4
and it looks like the tamron is a lot better than the canon version. Its a bit cheaper too.

Am I missing something?

Hmm, I'm actually curious about that too.

Was looking into the Tamron 70-200 for my new D700...

No, optically its superb.

Focusing is slow. Depends what you are looking for.

3rd party glass is almost always cheaper.

Shortly after you drop it, you will be.

I think Bob just explained the main reason for the price difference
