Tamron AF 70-300mm f4.0-5.6 Di LD Macro Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras
I'm brand new to the photography but I am hooked! After getting my XSi from my husband for Christmas the natural next step was to buy lens. It's hard to afford the lens's direct from Canon so after monitoring several forums I decided this was the next best step.
Good bang for the buck!
The lens itself is not very heavy, which means that the lens is probably made out of plastic, which is okay if you're just starting into digital photography. The motor inside the lens is a little slow to focus, and is a little noisy, but who cares how loud a lens is, really?- Great product for the amount of money spent
- great beginning telephoto lens
- included 5 year warranty
- A little slow to focus
- noisy
- lightweight = plastic lenses
Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 LD Di macro (Pentax K) - Review / Lab Test Report
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.
