Tamron's SP 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di VC USD lens was released in time for the company's 60th anniversary. The ‘SP' label denotes ‘professional' build quality, while other welcome additions include an Ultrasonic Silent Drive (USD) AF drive motor and Vibration Compensation (VC) stabilisation plus Full Time...

I have recently bought this lens through flipcart. I made this decision after reading many reviews comparing Nikon and Tamron 70-300 lens. Flipcart service was good, I got this lens in time in excellent condition.

The Tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di VC USD Lens features a popular and useful focal length range, a nice design, USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) AF and VC (Vibration Compensation) for a very affordable price .

Amazing lens for the price. The VC is amazing and allows me to get crisp pictures every time. I had the non VC version and had plenty of blur, now I get sharp photos. Amazing for hand holding too.

The Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di VC USD performed fairly well in our full format test but it is a more desirable lens on an APS-C DSLR. The resolution figures are very high in the scope and that's, at least mostly, across the image frame.

Tl;dr: low aberration is a boon, distortion is well controlled, Tamron priced it well The full review: Tamron made this lens to fit well in an area that is kind of empty: mid-range telephoto lenses under $1k, and the features that it offers is excellent.

Have had this lens about a month and overall I'm quite satisfied. Images are sharp as a tack through all zoom ranges (may drop off slightly at max but not objectionable). Image stabilization is excellent and is better than I expected. Overall operation is smooth and quiet.

I saw Tamron has more rebates out right now. Got my first one on rebate...this makes it enticing to look at more toys...

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.

It wasn't free

Fabulous lens. From beginner to advance this lens should be in everyone's camera bag!!! This lens is on my camera all the time. The zoom is great, and for everyday photos this lens is for all occasions.

I bought this tamron lensf or my new camera, mainly to be able to get action photos, since my daughter is doing all kinds of sports. It is working nicely with the camera and the clarity is excellent, for an amateur photographer.
