Tamron 70-300mm Macro

Works very well, easily interchangeable, and affordable. Auto focus is kinda noisy.

Tamron Zoom Lens Review

Lens works well, but gets stuck returning to the normal position from macro mode.

Amazing lens, great quality, can’t beat it for the price

I love this lens. It gives me the ability to take far away shots in high quality, or to get those close up (macro) beautifully. I would reccommend this lens to anyone who asked.

Doesn't achieve reasonable focus

I'm extremely dissapointed with this lens. Not sure if it was the one I received, considering all the brand and the high rating reviews it got. I know it's not a prime but still it should be able to have a reasonable focus and sharpness (yes, I know the trick for changing it to macro and back). Ther's no way I can get a picture decently focused, AF or manual. Considering getting into out-of-focus experimentation photos since can't use it otherwise.

Not sharp or quick

I use very expensive powerful nikon lenses for both nature/wildlife and various in studio and outdoor portraits, thought I would try this. It does not focus quickly, goes in and out of focus, and is definitely not sharp... I use nikon 70-300 have two lenses and they are amazing! Have 3 cameras so thought this might be a good fit, NOPE, I'm returning it

A value for money lens that works well enough with my Pentax Full Frame.

Lens is adequate for most uses. It’s reasonably sharp and any distortion can be corrected in post processing. It’s exceptionaly good value for money.

Good lens for the $

Without stabilization it's tough to get anything long and sharp with the slightest wind. Other than that, it's a great deal for it's capability.

You get a good lens for the money.

A good walk around lens. Don't expect super sharp images because you get what you pay for, but it's a decent lens.Write your review here. It must be at least 10 characters long. Consider whether you would recommend this product and what you like or dislike about it.

Great lens for the money

The lens is pretty nice, a little heavy and not the fastest focus ability. Otherwise, for the money, it's a pretty nice lens.

What a steal

Do not be scared off by the price and think, cheap lens. Totally not the case. I have been using this lens until my new Tamron 70-200mm gets in for shooting high school softball games. By no means is it as fast as Tamron 70-200mm but with the price difference it better be. With that said I have had no issues shooting the games. I have still been able to get the action shots as well as all the home runs on burst mode. All my pictures have been sharp and in focus. Shooting at 1600 iso to eliminate the shadows and keep my shutter fast the lens still produces great low noise pictures. I would have given 5 stars but I have not used it for any macro shots yet but if it performs like it has so far I am sure the shots will be awesome and again all for $. Even after my Tamron 70-200mm comes in I will not take this lens out of my bag for shooting sports.

Great versatile lens

I had owned a film Nikon back in the 90s, and for that camera I had owned a Tamron telephoto. So this time around, getting a digital Nikon, I wanted another Tamron. And I was not disappointed. It actually fills the bill as my regular lens for shooting portrait and close-up shots. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Okay lens for a while.

Bought for Pentax K1. This lens is a decent value, but you get what you pay for. Focus IQ isn't great. Hunts a bit and will go through the whole range to find the focus. The "macro" is decent, but is only 1:2 on a full frame. The focus is a little soft. I eventually went with the 55-300 DA WR from Pentax. Crop lens, but it's 440mm effective, weather sealed, sharper, and reasonably compact for under ($). Your images will only be around 18 MP with the crop, but I'd rather have 18 MP sharp than 36 MP slightly blurry.

Great zoom lens buy

The Tamron 70-300 is a versatile well constructed lens and is especially valued for its macro function. Purchased at ADORAMA for a great price with a useful kit, it is great for outdoor photo of sports, wildlife. This lens is constructed very tight but works smoothly. Focus is a bit louder than my oem lens. Care needs to be taken in mount / dismount not to twist the focus ring as it will drive the focus motor possibly causing damage. Great 6 year warranty.

Awesome lens for the offered price. Great for kids close ups. I damaged my original Pentax lens and was looking for a comparable lens. Tamron offers the best results at best price.

Usable But Not Professional Quality

When zoomed out to a longer focus length, this lens requires a monopod or tripod. The copy I have has recorded some fine MACRO images but the images I have gotten at 300 mm have been either blurry or soft. It is a fine lens for specific jobs, but I cannot recommend it or an all-purpose lens. I have not tried it for sports, but for what I do, it has limited functionality. It is worth the price of the lens, if one cannot afford a nicer lens, but my recommendation is that, if possible, one saves up and buys a nicer lens for that zoom range.

Only bad thing about it is the infinity setting. It is not where it says it is, it's about 1/64" back off mark. :-(

Excellent When Used With A Mono/Tripod

When I first started to use this lens, I was getting shots with "soft" focus. Since I have not heard of Tamron lenses doing that, I assumed it was caused by something I was doing. After some experimentation, I figured out what the problem was. This lens does not have stability built in. When I tried to hand-hold it at lower shutter speeds, I was getting some camera shake. I now only use this lens when it is attached to a Mono/Tripod. When I use some form of stability, I have nothing to complain about with this lens. I used it just a few days ago for some head-shots and they came out beautifully. It was just a matter of getting familiar with my equipment and learning what it can, and cannot do.

Very Good Lense for the Price

I have been using this lense on my Nikon D40 for about 3 yrs with excellant luck, and for the questions of the AF working, the answer is yes. I primarily shoot manual though. I use my camera almost every day. I don't really have negative comments to make, Im sure more expensive lenses work better but for the price, this lense is hard to beat.

I love this lens, yes it is slow in low light conditions but on a daylight it is perfect, sharp and great zoom. Also macro mode is very good.

Outstanding Value

By Boogaloo

The tech talk is interesting, but where the rubber meets the road this is a very good performing, satisfying telephoto mounted on my Rebel XT and 40D. In an unsophisticated test on a friend's 50D, image quality did not seem to improve suggesting a resolve up to about 10MP. I have taken 10-thousand horse show action racing photos with sweet results from overcast to bright sunny days. The action is quick with constant zoom in/out to frame upwards of 20 shots in a 20 second race. Zoom is still...

I would buy this product again

By The S.

This is the best camera I have ever owned. It takes outstanding pictures, even in automatic mode. I couldn't ask for anything better. [...]

Tamron now offers a lightweight, compact, high-image-quality telephoto zoom lenswith 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.

Built in Motor for Nikon
This version has a built-in Motor which will allow it to work with all Nikon Digital Cameras. With some Film cameras this will not work in Auto Focus mode
