tamron for canon rebel

I loved this lens at first. However, after only a few times use with my Canon Rebel, it every so often gives me an error signal, causing me to miss important pictures. A friend told me she has had the same experience. Therefore, for the price, it's not so reliable.

BUYERS BEWARE

Once again, another cheap plastic lens from Tamron, including the PLASTIC LENS MOUNT! Save your money and buy the 18-250mm lens for another 100 bucks. You lose a whopping 50mm at the long end, but the optics and build are superior plus a gain on the short end.
If you don't want to spend that much then consider the Sigma 28-300mm, unfortunatly the optics are a bit less than the Tamron 28-300mm, but the build quality is definitely superior. Of course this review is NOT for the VC version of this lens which is far superior in build and worth another 200 + dollars in price.

Slow, an okay lens.

I bought this lens used when upgraded to digital with my Nikon D80. It seemed like an okay lens for the price, with an amazing zoom ability (it's range is VERY useful) but I was disappointed at how slow it focuses. There's no manual focus override when it's in autofocus, unlike my other AF lenses. The focus ring is completely locked when it's on AF. Again, for the price it's good, I wasn't expecting a fixed 2.8 aperture for anything under a thousand. It's also not the sharpest lens either, especially at 300mm. On a good note, the close focusing is very nice.

I'd recommend it to someone who isn't looking going to be shooting sports or wildlife.

tamron lens great for travel

I was looking for a lens that is very compact for travel. This lens is replacing a tamron 28-70 and 70-300 lens. I was very satisfied overall with the quality of the pictures. I have used tamron lenses in the past and have not been disappointed. The price is right for what you get, as compared to the canon lenses. Although there is a noticeable difference in quality between the two, I was not disappointed in the pictures that I took with tamron lens. It was very compact, very portable, saved lots of time from having to change lenses. I was quite surprised with the macro and was impressed that I was able to get pretty close to my subject with pretty good focus. Overall I am pretty satisfied, economical lens with decent zoom range. Worked out great for travel as I had a larger zoom range and was able to leave other lenses home and had more room for other equipment. I would definitley recommend this lens if your looking for this range and economical as compared to other lenses.

Maintaining the high performance of the previous model, Tamron's new 28-300mm zoom lens now features the "Di" design, making it the ideal lens for use with both digital and film cameras. The "Di" design is achieved by applying a new optical design to its coated surfaces, and by further enhancing Tamron's already stringent quality control system. Whether you shoot film or digital, the lens provides high image quality for both platforms. When used with APS-C size digital SLR cameras, the lens provides an angle of view equivalent to approximately 44-465mm, covering the standard to ultra telephoto range with no sacrifice of quality or aperture range.
