Finding 24-70 F2.8 lens for my Nikon F5

[Blue Glass]

Hi y'all
I was doing some research on F mount zoom lens and find Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2 to have pretty good performance for price. However, I did find it uses the Electromagnetic Diaphragm so I won't be able to control the apeature with my F5. just wanna ask is there any good recommdation for a 24-70 F2.8 lens with VR that works well with Nikon F5?

also did Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G1 uses the Electromagnetic Diaphragm? I couldn't find information on that, G1 seems to be a pretty good lens too, does anyone know if G1 work with F5 body? Thanks!

I use the pre-G2 version on my F100, so it should work fine with the F5.

leaving a message here just in case someone needed. I have tried the Tamron SP 24-70mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G1 and it does not fully work with F5, F5 could switch the aperture on that lens but couldn't use its autofocus
