This Lens dose everything it says it will. This is a great lens to have if you only want to carry one lens as it as a macro function for the tiny close ups as well as a 300mm zoom for those long distance shots. This is my new favourite lens.

Great lens for slow scenes, portraiture and landscapes. The auto focus is no match for fast paced sports shots but at this price its a handy addition to any camera bag.

I have used this lens on a beach photo shoot (so I dont have to get my feet wet) and this lens OUTPERFORMED my expectations. It's performed average shooting the runway fashion show so not so great with moving indoor subjects because of the blah low light capabilities.

I am very happy with the Purchase. this was a gift for my wife and she absolutely loves this len.

This lens from Tamron is worth a try if you are a beginner, The auto focus is noisy, Wide open it is OK till 135mm but after that don't expect crispy sharp images and chromatic aberrations also rise.

only thing about this lens is the more you zoom the shaker it gets.

The Tamron is obviously a low budget lens - locally it sells for just ~130€ - it does hardly get any cheaper than this. However, it is amazing that Tamron didn't really sacrifice too much build quality.

This lens is great for the money you pay. I've taken many great photos with it on vacation and around town. It is also very compact and light. While it is not an ideal lens to shoot Birds in Flight due to its slow auto-focusing it is great for general photos and portraits.

Lens guru, Gary Wolstenholme tests the Tamron 70-300mm zoom lens. Is it worth the relaively low price or should it be relegated to the bargain bin? Often after purchasing a camera complete with standard kit lens, many will look for a telephoto zoom to extend their reach when photographing distant...

Lightweight; Resolution at shorter focal lengths; Macro feature; Good value for money; Good resistance to ghosting and flare

Slow autofocus; Rotating front element may make it difficult to use a polariser
