The new telephoto zoom from Tamron, designed exclusively for digital SLR cameras, is ideal for anyone who wants to capture truly dynamic telephoto images. It goes far beyond the capabilities of the standard zoom that comes with a digital SLR camera. Ideal for photos of family fun, sport events, scenery, and portraiture, the lens naturally creates a out-of-focus background that emphasizes the main subject of your photo.

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!

First the price for what you receive is great! this lens work very well even though it does not have VR, if you hold your camera correctly and or use a tripod all photos come out crystal clear.

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.
