Tamron 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5 Di II VC HLD Lens Reviews

From the PhotographyBlog conclusion:

If you don’t mind the lack of of a big-brand name and value the very effective image stabilisation system, then we can definitely recommend the Tamron 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5 Di II VC HLD. As an attractively priced, excellent quality ultra-wide-angle zoom lens for APS-C DSLR owners.

From the ePhotozine verdict:

The Tamron 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5 Di II VC HLD Lens is an excellent lens that can be highly recommended. It is designed with the centre of the field very much in mind. So depending on use, it should be possible to enjoy the outstanding sharpness when the main subject is fairly centrally placed. However, it is still possible to have excellent edge sharpness if the aperture used is chosen with that in mind.

From the Fstoppers verdict:

If image stabilization is import there are only a few options and none with the range as large as 10-24mm making this an easy choice. Landscape photographers will be impressed with the huge improvements in image quality over the previous version. Although the motor drive may not be silent the VC and low distortion should make for a great video option.

From The-Digital-Picture review:

The 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5 Di II VC HLD Lens is an important member of Tamron’s lineup. I think that all kits should have a wide-angle zoom lens in them and this lens just might be the best option for yours.
