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

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!

Tamron 70-300mm telephoto lens

The Tamron 70-300mm telephoto lens is an entry level telephoto and macro lens aimed at people who are new to DSLRs... I got this lens at Jessops as part of my camera bundle, so i originally only paid about £100.00 for it.
Pros:
  • good value
  • get what you expect
  • decent macro mode
  • large focal range for the price
Cons:
  • less than brilliant focusing: a bit noisy and slow
  • manual focus ring is a bit smooth

quality for the price!

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.
Pros:
  • Consistent Output
  • Easily Interchangeable
  • Lightweight
  • Quick Focus
  • Sharp Focus

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!!!
