I shoot about 80 - 100 sports events a year, most played at night or in gymnasiums. Especially for basketball, I'd find my 80-200mm was difficult to use close to he basket, but my 50mm couldn't give me the images I needed farther away from the basket. This lens solves these problems for me. The focus is fast and surprisingly sharp. It handles the more poorly lit courts with ease. I love it so far.

The Tamron 28-75mm lens takes great pictures and is everything I expected and more. I use this lens for portraits, low light situations (the constant 2.8 apperature is the deal maker), and when I need a quick auto focus. I also use the Tamron 18-270mm lens, which is great for travel and all around use, but slow auto focus from about 150-270mm. and MANY times won't focus at all-especially in low light, causing me to miss many shots- switching to manual focus. I really appreciate the Tamron 28-75mm quick auto focus- especially in low light situations. (Hoping for a 18or24mm-85or100mm lens with a constant 2.8 and quick focus for under $1000.-- DREAM ON!)

Really like this lens. I know they dont really compare but since I've got this lens I hardly ever put the nikkor 70-300 VR on anymore. And if I do, I usually change back within minutes. This lens is much better than any kit lens that you might use and really shines in low light photography.
