Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di LD Macro Review
Tamron's lens feels remarkably lightweight for its type. This is almost certainly because there is no image-stabilisation (IS) technology, which equivalent lenses from Nikon, Canon and Sigma lenses all offer. For the same reason, it is also no more than one-third of the price of its competitors.
Pros:
- Close-up facility
Cons:
- No image stabilisation

*using it on a Nikon (D40) Summed most of it up in the pros and cons. I love it, and yeah, any beginners I'm sure would be fine except the note I put below (regarding VR) but I think most people should be fine.
Pros:
- Zoom
- The 300mm get's right in your face every time! Highly recommend it if tossing up between a 200mm and a 300mm, Simplicity (I looked at many reviews before purchasing this lens and alot of people complained of difficulty in using it, but I found this to be extremely easy, other than the macro...
Cons:
- Can be a bit soft on the macro
- Only noticeable if blown up, but yeah, can be a bit, The AF
- I know it is often mentioned, but it really is quite laggy
- I don't mind and often will do a whole shoot on MF, you just have to be prepared to at times.

Great performance so far
I have a Nikon D3000 and it is definitely compatible and considerably cheaper than a Nikon lens! Absolutely love it. It has given me some great sport action shots!

Awesome
Everything I hoped for and more. I am a novice and this totally suits my purpose. I am very, very happy with my purchase, especially for the money. I do have to get used to it being a little heavier -- not that it is heavy but heavier than I have been accustomed to. Great buy!!!

Great 1st Lens
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.
