Tamron SP 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di VC USD
Tamron has produced a telezoom \Lthat delivers in every key area. From focusing through to optical performance, it doesn't disappoint and should meet the requirements of most enthusiasts. Its large size may put off some, but we'd recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful and capable telezoom.

Tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di VC USD SP AF review by d5100_Nikon
Much much better than the Nikon 55-300mm I returned. I can get fairly sharp pics with this lens at 300mm. Very happy with that! There are some things to be aware of - you need lots of light to use a faster shutter speed, and other things that are less important. I totally recommend this lens!
Pros:
- Sharp
- quiet
Cons:
- Not always focusing accurately

The lens handles very well, the only thing that lets it down is the CA, esp at telephoto, need to stop down to f8 to reduce it. Despite the CA still prefer it over the Canon version just due to build quality and handling, have owned both.
Pros:
- Quiet fast AF FTM Excellent stabiliser Sharp up to 300
Cons:
- Chromatic Abberation especially wide open Struggles to focus accurately in low light
