Re: Asking recommendation for 24-70mm f/2.8 on 5D IV under 1K

Yes, I've thought about the Tamron 24-70 G2. However since this is essentially going to by my first actual expensive lens purchase  , I am thinking of buying something old/refurbished as I think that would give me more value for the money compared to buying something new.

As for Tamron ( current one in market ) I have seen sprinkles of comments as to how people has faced issues; had it not been the case I would have pulled the trigger on the current one but cannot quantify the risk of buying old and then having to pay additional if I get a bad copy that is not covered by warranty.

Thank you for the suggestion.
