Hi, any bro have the tamron 70-200 F2.8 for Sony? If yes, how is the picture taken from this len? Is the AF fast.

Have read from other forums, but prefer to hear from local pros like you.

I don't have the lens, but I guess you already know the general comments.

This Tamron lens is sharp, Tamron makes optically good lenses.
But AF speed is slow for it's size.
Sigma version win by internal focusing motor, though optically lose a little.

I also wish some local pro who has used both can verify if this is true, and to what extent.
