bang for the buck
i have been using this lens for almost 6 months and i must say that it is by far the best telephoto i have handled. it has amazing image quality, quick focus using the USD motor, amazing hand holdability due to VR and still is comparatively lighter when mounted.

Great Lens
I will not pretend to be an expert, but do own several Nikon cameras and lens. The Tamron SP 70-300mm anniversary edition is one, if not the best lens in my bag. Sharp, Great colors, great bokeh and fast focus, make it a joy to use.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Easily Interchangeable
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Nice Bokeh

Great Lens and good price
Focuses fast and image stabilization works well. I compared the IQ to the Canon 70-200 f4 L and it was close -- very close. A drawback is buying it from OneCall that won't accept returns if opened.
Pros:
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Image quality
- Nice Bokeh
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- No Macro
