Product Description:
Tamron offers a lightweight, compact, high-image-quality telephoto zoom lens with macro capability of 1:2 that can be used with digital cameras. This new lens is a Di type lens using an optical system with improved multi-coating designed to function with digital SLR cameras as well as film cameras. With this 70-300mm telephoto zoom lens, flipping a macro switch in the focal length range of 180mm to 300mm obtains a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2 at a minimum focus distance as short as 37.4 inch, enabling close-up shots of flowers, insects, and other objects that normally require the use of a specially designed macro lens. Moreover, this is a zoom lens that casually offers the distant capture and foreshortening effect pleasures of the 300mm ultra-telephoto world. 1 - 2 Macro Magnification Ratio at f=300mm MFD 0.95m Filter Diameter - 62 Weight - 435 gram (15.3 ounces) Diameter x Length - 3.0 x 4.6 inch (76.6mm x 116.5mm) Accessory Lens hood

Es un buen lente en terminos generales, buena construcción, agradable al tacto, luce profesional en su visual. sinembargo hay un par de cosas que hace que no sea un lente del todo bueno, en principio podemos decir que es sobresaliente entre 70 - 200mm, pero la cosa cambia a 300mm donde no define bien la imagen, poca nitidez y detalle a esa distancia focal, varias aberraciones cromáticas, pero eso es algo que todos los lentes suelen tener. la función Macro está bien para sacarle algún provecho, tampoco es la ideal.
- Buena construcción
- Buen Precio
- buena calidad entre 70-200mm
- Enfoque suficientemente rápido (en este tipo de lentes).
- trae parasol ( tamron y sigma suenlen harcerlo ).
contras:
- Poca nitidez en los 300mm
- aberraciones cromáticas purpuras en contraluz.
- Boton de autofoco dificil de acceder.
podemos decir que su hermano Tamron 75-300mm tiene mejor calidad y nitidez, pero no esta mal este lente, se trabajan muy bien las focales 70-200mm, donde es muy nítido.

I've learned to use this lens. I've been shooting with a Canon XSI close to a year now and I'm very happy with the experience so far but it's been a learning curve for me. I have 3 other lenses, one of them a Sigma 18-200mm IS lens which is my main lens but over time I've learned to shoot with the Tamron lens to take advantage of the extra focal length it offers and for some macros. I've also taken some great portrait shots of my son (5.5 months old) with this lens. If you shoot with this lens outdoors in the day light use 1/300 for shutter speed and I do the same indoors unless I use a tripod. They recommend a 1/100 sec shutter speed for every 100mm on the focal lenth if you don't have image stabilization and this has worked for me very well. I like the sharpness and color reproduction of the pictures I get with this lens and that's why I highly recommend it, specially for under $200.
So my recommendation is to take extra time to learn photography and to use this lens and you'll end up with great shots and a much better overall experience.

I purchased this lens because I read a review of it in the approximate Canon equivalent it was mentioned in the review that the Canon had a little fuzziness on the high telescopic end and that was not mentioned for this lens I also liked this lens because it had the macro feature which the Canon did not. It was also a little less expensive. Since putting this lens on my camera I have found that very few of my telephoto or macro pictures have been as crisp as I would like. This may be my fault or the lens, but I did not get the results I hoped for. I also found it rather odd that to get out of macro mode I have to turn the focus to manual and extend to infinity which seems a strange thing to do and was not obvious until I did some more experimenting. I also learned with this lens the 300 mm is not as much magnification as I would really like for wildlife photography. Overall I am not dissatisfied with this purchase but I guess I am considering future purchases of higher-end lenses when I can afford them.

I have been using this lens for about a month in preparation for a vacation in Australia. The lens worked very well in taking action shots of Surfing, and birds in flight, although image stabilization would make them a bit clearer. I have followed the recommendations about stopping the lens to F/8 and have not had any trouble with blurry images. Great lens for the Price.

I've owned this lens for a few months now, and love it. While the macro setting is not a true 1:1, it still provides excellent macro detail at a very nice price. Not the best lens for high speed, action shots given it's slow auto focus motor and small aperture. For other applications - still life, portraits, macro, etc. - it's a good choice for those on a budget (like me).
