Lovely telephoto lense
This lense is a lovely accompaniment to my other glass. Takes much clearer pictures than the 250mm Canon lense, and has further zoom. Great buy for the price.

So good i bought it twice
Bought this lens a while ago, my daughter doing a Natural History degree at Falmouth - 'forgot' to give it back when she went back after summer holiday as she needed to have a long reach lens for the course in her bag at all times.
Pros:
- Great Picture Quality
- Lightweight
- Simple Controls

Excellent lens at a reasonable price.
I really took a long time to purchase this lens. It was a mixed feelings on going for a third party lens for my Nikon D3100. The reviews of this lens and that of Nikon helped me on concentrating mainly on the VC of Tamron against the VR of Nikon, the price of Nikon 70-300mm VR 4.5 -5.6 vs the price...

An absolute dream of a lens!
An absolute dream of a lens! Coupled to my Sony A77ii it is giving me the finest results I have ever had in over 60 years of photography, it is an amazing piece of equipment.

... very excited to receive the lens but was very disappointed, really
I was very excited to receive the lens but was very disappointed, really. I was going to shoot a football game and thought this will be a win. I did not take my canon len with me. Anything in the range of over 100 was not focused. I thought it was me. I tried it with tripod and the issue the same.

I have three lenses in this range, the Canon 70-200 f4 IS, the Canon 70-300IS and this.The Canon non-L lens and Tamron are more or less identical for sharpness with a tiny victory for the Canon, although it's more expensive.
Pros:
- Very good value, lens barrel nice and wide for easy gripping, good stabilisation, although does jar in the viewfinder when it comes on, fairly sharp at 70-200mm
- Good warranty
Cons:
- Average to poor sharpness between 200-300mm, turns the opposite way from Canon lenses
- Makes an odd click/crunch on mounting
- I wouldn't want to get it wet
