Tamron AF SP 70-300mm F4-5.6 Di VC USD

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.

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.
