A surprising good lens, did read many reviews in order to choose between nikon 70-300 and this one , in the end the Tamron was best in most of the reviews. So bought one. (nikon was $ 713 that's $ 300 more !

Sharp; light; accurate autofocus ; inexpensive

noise; distortion

I am using this product for more than 5 months. Quality of photos ,it gives you are great. Even in 300 mm it can give you sharp images. Image stabilization feature in this lens is very helpful. Not best in low lights but overall a great lens in this price.

Its a good smooth lens, have been using it a bit, taken some good photos with this lens. enjoying using this.. cheers

Have had this lens about a month and overall I'm quite satisfied. Images are sharp as a tack through all zoom ranges (may drop off slightly at max but not objectionable). Image stabilization is excellent and is better than I expected. Overall operation is smooth and quiet.

Consistent Output; Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus

This is a highly recommended lens for a TELEPHOTO user under a budget .I really like its results and its VR is quite impressive. TAMRON has built a QUALITY PRODUCT !!!

This is an excellent Lens in comparison of Nikon 70-300 VR at a great price. I had tried both Nikon and Tamron before purchase and the AF of Tamron is better than Nikon. Also Tamron is better built than Nikon and it's 5K deare than Nikon.

Fabulous lens. From beginner to advance this lens should be in everyone's camera bag!!! This lens is on my camera all the time. The zoom is great, and for everyday photos this lens is for all occasions.

The lens handles very well, the only thing that lets it down is the CA, esp at telephoto, need to stop down to f8 to reduce it. Despite the CA still prefer it over the Canon version just due to build quality and handling, have owned both.

Quiet fast AF FTM Excellent stabiliser Sharp up to 300

Chromatic Abberation especially wide open Struggles to focus accurately in low light

The Tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6 SP DI VC USD features both Low Dispersion (LD) and Extra Low Dispersion (XLD) lens elements to help correct chromatic aberration and is also fitted with an Ultrasonic Silent Drive (USD) motor, as well as Tamron's Vibration Compensation (VC) mechanism to reduce the effects...

This is my first and only Tamron Lens. Excellent construction and price also very good warranty. I will research additional lenses from Tamron. Highly recommended.

Consistent Output; Durable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Nice Bokeh; Strong Construction
