Tamron 70-200 f2.8 in Nikon mount finally in stock

The Tamron 70-200mm f2.8 is finally in stock for the Nikon mount.

This lens gives Nikon photographers another option in place of the extremely expensive (and high-quality) Nikkor 70-200mm f2.8 VR and the less expensive Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 (which has been known to have inconsistent quality, like many other Sigma lenses).

It has a built in autofocus motor so it will work on the Nikon D40/x and Nikon D60.

POTN has a pretty good review up by a Canon 5D user, who is quite happy with the lens in real-world shooting. Time will tell if the autofocus speed of the lens is an issue for action photography.
