While there are a few standout bargains to be found, the lens world is much like the rest of life: There’s no free lunch, you tend to get what you pay for. It’s thus no surprise that lenses as inexpensive as the Tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6 don’t perform as well a those costing three or four times as much. Within its price bracket though, this Tamron competes quite strongly against the camera makers’ own offerings, delivering as good or better image quality, a long zoom range, decent build quality, all at an exceptional price. If you need a long zoom on a tight budget, the Tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di LD Macro 1:2 AF is worth a close look. “¦ READ FULL REVIEW

30 Oct 2009Simple commentary, shopping on a tight budget, I purchased this lens.
I like the looks, the feel, and the operation of the lens.
I am using this lens on a Canon Digital Rebel and have had no issues.
The pictures come on decent enough, but I am not a professional, so my expectations
are not as high, and I do not have to worry about publishing. I have blown my pictures
up to print on 8″ X 10″ photos, without a problem. I would definitely recommend this
lens to a newbie, or those wishing to take decent pictures, at a budget price.
