Its a good smooth lens, have been using it a bit, taken some good photos with this lens. enjoying using this.. cheers

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.

This is a highly recommended lens for a TELEPHOTO user under a budget .I really like its results and its VR is quite impressive. TAMRON has built a QUALITY PRODUCT !!!

This is an excellent Lens in comparison of Nikon 70-300 VR at a great price. I had tried both Nikon and Tamron before purchase and the AF of Tamron is better than Nikon. Also Tamron is better built than Nikon and it's 5K deare than Nikon.

I purchased this lens to do all-around photography, but with sports and outdoor work in mind. This lens handles well and operates smoothly. The macro function works well in the field. The VC function provides vibration control that overall functions well.

I only bought this lens 24 hours ago, but had tried to do a lot of homework before visiting my photographic dealer, and discounted several lenses which didn't reach the starting grid. I then short-listed 2 Canons - 70-200 F4L USM (non-IS) and the much-loved 70-300 IS USM.

Stiff zoom ring..

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.

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 lens handles very well, the only thing that lets it down is the CA, esp at telephoto, need to stop down to f8 to reduce it. Despite the CA still prefer it over the Canon version just due to build quality and handling, have owned both.
