Tamron now 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", 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.

I purchased this for my Canon t2i and its working perfectly, quality is nice, it has a Stabilization sensor when you are zoomed in at 300mm , it does take a while to focus and it's nosy, but hey for the price it gets the job done, i recommend this for anybody who is beginner or if you just don't want to spend big bucks on a zoom lens.

This has been a great lens for my Sony camera. I have enjoyed using it to learn more about my camera. It has very good quality! With such zoom, I have had to learn now to hold the camera steady, and often use a tripod, but I have enjoyed every moment of it!

I like the macro portion of this lens. But at 300mm the CA is so pronounced it is unusable at that length. And it is pretty bad at 200mm. I am very disappointed. I would not recommend this lens.
