This is my first and only Tamron Lens. Excellent construction and price also very good warranty. I will research additional lenses from Tamron. Highly recommended.

The Tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6 SP DI VC USD features both Low Dispersion (LD) and Extra Low Dispersion (XLD) lens elements to help correct chromatic aberration and is also fitted with an Ultrasonic Silent Drive (USD) motor, as well as Tamron's Vibration Compensation (VC) mechanism to reduce the effects...

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.

Quiet fast AF FTM Excellent stabiliser Sharp up to 300

Chromatic Abberation especially wide open Struggles to focus accurately in low light

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.

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.

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 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.

Focus speed; solid build; great IQ; 5 yr warranty (UK

Stiff zoom ring..

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.
