What is the tamron sp af 70 200mm f 2 8 di ld if macro good for?

The Tamron SP AF 70-200mm f/2.8 Di LD (IF) Macro is a telephoto zoom for full-frame cameras, and I think it's best for sport, wildlife, and portraits from a distance. A 70-200mm f/2.8 gives you reach from the sideline and tight headshots with soft backgrounds, and the telephoto zoom is also underrated for landscapes, where it picks out distant ridges and single trees.

It's an older lens with no stabilisation, so use a shutter speed fast enough to avoid camera shake. On APS-C it frames like a longer lens, so check the catalogue page for the crop figures. For birds, you'll want more reach than this, as the wildlife and sport guide explains.
