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

Still great, even after 1 year

I saw Tamron has more rebates out right now. Got my first one on rebate...this makes it enticing to look at more toys...
Pros:
  • Just chiming in as others have said--spectacular value
  • I bought this from Newegg over a year ago Along with a Canon T2i), and it is still performing flawlessly
  • It is a joy to use
  • The Image Stabilization (IS) is truly as good as everyone says it is.
Cons:
  • It wasn't free

very happy Tamronion

I bought this for my new D7000. pictures are very sharp even at 300mm and very great bokeh effect. I was considering the nikkor 70-300mm. But I am glad that I bought this. I borrowed the nikkor 70-300mm from my friend and compared this and nikkor. GO TAMRON.
