Great lens for enthusiasts and beginners, but if you want a really good quality lens and you have a big budget, then spend a bit more on something else.

good value; light weight; good macro mode

focusing is a bit slow and noisy; doesnt feel very robust

One of Tamron's Digitally Integrated (Di) lenses, the AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di LD Macro is designed for use on both full-frame and APS-C-sized cameras. It's available in Canon, Nikon, Pentax and Sony fit and, on APS-C bodies, the effective zoom range is 105-450mm or, for Canon cameras, a slightly...

My first Tamron 70 - 100mm lens mechanism failed so found it more cost effective to replace rather then repair. However because the lens is so compatible and easy to use it will always be a key part of my camera equipment.

Consistent Output; Easily Interchangeable; Lightweight; Quick Focus; Sharp Focus

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.

This is a full frame lens and I'm using it on a crop sensor body. I am very pleased with the image quality. Real life isn't tack sharp why should the images we capture be any different?

Inexpensive

Auto Focus noisy and sluggish

I wanted a longer lens for my Canon, but I knew I wouldn't use it enough to justify buying L-glass or some other high-priced lens. This fit the bill and what arrived was just what I wanted -- a lens that I could pull out to meet a special need, even if it didn't have the optical quality of another...

Easily Interchangeable; Lightweight; Strong Construction

No Image Stabilization

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 love this lens, yes it is slow in low light conditions but on a daylight it is perfect, sharp and great zoom. Also macro mode is very good.

Durable; Lightweight; Nice Bokeh; Sharp Cheap Macro

Noisy Slow In Low Light; Poor in Low Light

I purchased this as a gift. This is a pretty good entry level tele zoom. Low light performance suffers without a monopod or tripod, and the af is slow sometimes, especially in low light, but pre-focus manually first, not a problem getting sharp images.

Very sharp even wide open

No IS; Plastic mount
