I looked at the kit and figured the filter fit the lens it is paired with. Not the case. And to swap the lens I am supposed to return the whole kit.

Great for wildlife but zooming in and out is not very smooth and the autofocus is slow. For the money I spent I can't complain. No frills and it does what it's suppose to do. I haven't been out in cold weather with it and the lack of smooth zooming might be an issue when I do.

Since I bought the product, I used less often because it is a big telephoto. I used it to shot on high floors towards the ocean. The lens deliver its functions well considering the cost. The AF is slow that you need to be patient.

I have the sony a55 dslr, it really takes great pictures with it. Only the AF is slow on video mode but not bad, maybe its the camera. still worth the price.

I've used this lens in different scenarios but I took the best of it during dayligth in open spaces. I never tried doing some consistent macros yet but I'll certainly do. It is a little heavy to be carried when you are doing some trekking so you have to cut weight in other stuff if possible (extra batteries, cables, cleaning kits, etc) Thanks Tamron for an affordable option to us, the newbies with low budgets!!
