Tamron 70-180 G2 | A Junior G-Master?

Tamron's consistently been making some of the best third party lenses for Sony's E-Mount, and this second version of their 70-180 f/2.8 swings well above its price. Its biggest competition, in terms of more budget-friendly telephoto lenses, is Sigma's 70-200 f/2.8 and Sony's 70-200 f/4 G OSS II, which I've recently reviewed as well. However, this lens ALMOST hits as hard as the best telephoto of them all, Sony's 70-200 f/2.8 GM OSS II. Check out this review, and you can be the judge.
