Product Description
Tamron now offers a lightweight, compact, high-image-quality telephoto zoom lens with 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.

    I read all the other reviews on here and jumped to buy this lens. It seemed perfect for the price and since I am only an amateur I didn’t need anything fancy. Well, the lens is no good! The focus in low light is non existent. Even in the shade I couldn’t get a photo. It’s incredibly noisy and I couldn’t even switch into Macro mode. It was stuck! So, don’t bother spending your money on this lens if you plan on taking good photos!!

    I bought this lens to use with my Xti. Less than a week after I bough it I started to get the err99 message. Now I get it every time i use it. I am going to take a few more pictures with it and if I don’t like the way they turn out I will return the lens. After taking a few pictures with this lens I have noticed that the CA is horrible. The sharpness drops off after 200mm. You get what you pay for.

    EDIT

    I have returned the lens to amazon
