 "An exception to Tamron's quality lenses" 2007-09-15
By A. V. Areyan (Princeton, USA)
I was disappointed with this lens and eventually decided to return it. As the title of this brief review states - I hope this lens is the only exception to Tamron's quality lenses.

The cons: 1. Zooming ring is very stiff, so much so that it becomes a real problem; 2. Lack of sharpness, regardless of focusing mode. I shot a few hundred images with this lens and all looked too soft; 3. Most images came out darker or lighter than what you would've expected, regardless of WB or exposure settings. 4. Grainy pictures even in perfect shooting conditions. And lastly there was 0 pop to the images - even a picturesque scene would look dull and flat.

This lens needs to be redesigned from the ground up IMHO.

 "Would buy again" 2010-02-10
By Nichola P. Angelides
I love this beast of a lense. Great and fast!! People have written about noise issue, but I have not really noticed it yet.

 "FANTASTIC lens, Well worth the money!" 2010-02-06
By Antonio Sanchez (Virginia)
Well I finally made the jump and purchased this lens. It has met my expectations though I can see how I probably would not prefer this lens for high speed sports shooting! However I feel it will serve my purpose for photo shoots, family photos and possibly wedding photos. All in all I am very satisfied with the optics, build and weight of this lens. I currently own the Tokina ATX 80-200 f2.8 lens which is really heavy, the Tamron lens is a lot lighter.

 "Durable" 2010-02-01
By T. Seling
I recently bought this lens and was very pleased with the images it produced.

What has impressed me most is due to my own fault the lens became dislodged from the camera and fell to the floor of a concert venue.

Needless to say after hearing the thud, I thought the lens was going to be shot.

I was wrong...still works fine. Whew.

 "Nice lens but I returned it." 2010-01-31
By A. Chin
This is a nice lens. No quality issues, but I returned it because the autofocus is much slower than an OEM Canon lens. Plus, no image stabilization. But for the price, you can't beat it.

By D. Colman
I took pictures of my son's graduation and they came out fantastic. For distance low light applications I would recommend it.

 "Great versatile lens!" 2009-02-11
By Bionic Dog (Los Angeles, CA United States)
I have an older version of this lens for my Nikon and always got good results with it. I am using this on a Canon 5D Mk2, believe it or not, and it is great so far. Some barrel distortion that really shows in building shots, etc, but there is good software that can correct that easily. Also, it will be less on non-full frame cameras. Otherwise I think this is one of the best value lenses out there. Probably the ideal travel lens due to it's size, too. It's very small. Maybe the smallest zoom lens of that length. It's also very well made. Mostly metal. I trued out the Canon equivalent and have to say this lens seems sharper and with better color.
