Product Description

Tamron Auto Focus 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 Di LD Macro Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras (Model A17E)

From the Manufacturer

Designed for optimum handling ease and portability (it weighs only 458g <16.2oz.> ), it’s ideal for handheld shooting with full-frame and APS-C format SLRs. Its unsurpassed close-focusing ability (down to 0.95m (3.1 feet ) or 1:2 in macro mode) makes it perfect for nature and portrait photography.

AF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 Di LD Macro Zoom Lens Features

    Low Dispersion (LD) Glass for Greater Lens Sharpness

    Low dispersion (LD) glass elements in a lens help reduce chromatic aberration; the tendency of light of different colors to come to different points of focus at the image plane. Chromatic aberration reduces the sharpness of an image, but glass with an extremely low dispersion index, has less of a tendency to separate (defract) a ray of light into a rainbow of colors. This characteristic allows the lens designer to effectively compensate for chromatic aberration at the center of the field (on axis), a particular problem at long focal lengths (the telephoto end of the zoom range), and for lateral chromatic aberration (towards the edges of the field) that often occurs at short focal lengths (the wide-angle end of the zoom range.)"

      76 customers mention63 positive13 negative

      Customers like the image quality of the lens. They say that it is particularly good for getting pictures of critters and creatures you can't see with the naked eye, and that the hood works well. They also appreciate the background bokeh is excellent in macro, and the lens produces great pictures up to about 280 mm.

      67 customers mention57 positive10 negative

      Customers like the performance of the lens. For example, they say it works great as a candid lens in social situations for getting tightly cropped images, and the switch operates quite nicely. They also mention that the lens is very good as telephoto and macro lenses, and that the included hood works great. Some say it's a great lens for hobbyists and personal use, and can't be beat for the price range.

      "...It DOES deliver some impressive results, many of which I consider to be professional quality...." Read more

      "...Not only is it bigger then what the picture shows you but it is also amazing...." Read more

      32 customers mention24 positive8 negative

      Customers like the macro function of the camera. They say that the aperture settings are very effective, and it delivers a nice tele-zoom with macro capability. The macro setting is great for close ups, and the aperture range is decent. However, some customers have reported that the lens can be difficult to manage at times.

      "...Aperture settings in macro are very effective (specifically see the pics of the dandelion head at f/5.6 and f/32) in Av or M mode...." Read more

      "...It has an excellent zoom range, but this can make it very difficult to avoid blur from camera shake...." Read more

      "...The macro function is amazing and the telephoto is phenomenal. If there is anything about this lens that could be better it would be the autofocus...." Read more

      "...Not all shots will come out great if your just hand holding as it is quite a heavy and lengthy lens...." Read more

      39 customers mention26 positive13 negative

      Customers are mixed about the quality of the lens. Some mention that it's a new lens experience with good quality at a small price, while others say that they are not impressed with the quality, it is a rather cheap lens and that the image quality might be slightly compromised.

      Customers have mixed opinions about the autofocus of the camera. Some mention that it is fast, tight enough, and works fine, while others say that it labors and takes a very long time to focus.

      24 customers mention3 positive21 negative

      Customers are not happy with the noise produced by the camera. They mention that the focus is a lot slower and noisier than its canon rivals.

      "...This Lens has a normal/macro switch. The AF is not as quiet as a Canon lens, but also its not really noisy either, doesn't bother me." Read more

      "...The Tamron lens is a little noisy and slow at focusing, but nothing that is a deal breaker by any means...." Read more

      "...It is a bit noisy when it is in Automatic Focus but I guess it's because it is a big lens..." Read more

      "...Also, the auto-focus of the lens is extremely slow and a little loud...." Read more

      19 customers mention4 positive15 negative

      Customers are dissatisfied with the responsiveness of the lens. They mention that it is very loud, slow, and does not adapt as fast as they'd like, making it a poor choice for moving action shots. Some say that the lens is well built, but it has less than ideal performance, and it locks up at times.

      "...Again, this is a price trade off.Ending arguments... AF is slow and noisy, and blur at max zoom can be an issue...." Read more

      "...This is at 300mm.Also, the auto-focus of the lens is extremely slow and a little loud...." Read more

      "...The AF motor, like many others have already addressed, is slower than glaciers and quite loud...." Read more

      "...The reaction time is acceptable, and it takes nice shots. I will definitely look at Tamron for more lenses in the future." Read more

      This lens is AMAZING... for the price.

      This lens is AMAZING... for the price.
      My overall impression... for an amateur, or a semi pro such as myself without thousands of dollars of expendable income, this lens is a must have for your kit. Don't let the nay-Sayers sway you... This lens is an incredible bargain! The only reason its 4 instead of 5 stars, is the auto-focus... Read on. Took a lot of pics in the city park across the street after un-boxing. Posted good examples of functional limits.PROS1) Well built, heavy frame. No rattling parts, fits snugly to the body of my Canon 80D. It feels heavy and solid, and I like that. My hands shake, so a heavy lens helps me to stay stable.2) The focus is tight enough so that it doesn't drift in vertical shots, and the optics do not rotate, perfect for a polarized filter. Some have complained about this, but truly it is an advantage. It is the way this style of zoom is designed, take it or leave it.3) The fine focus wheel in manual mode could be a little tighter, but for my intended use for this lens, it is perfect. I like to get very fine adjustments in macro mode, and a looser fine focus wheel makes this possible. The required fine tuning takes less time this way.4) The macro function on this lens only works between 180 and 300mm, but with this focal length, that is an advantage. I can shoot great close ups from 2-5 feet away.5) Perfect for insect shots, where getting close can ruin your chance at a shot. See the flower shots, and the water drops (no insects available during testing, sadly... VERY cold yesterday).6) Shake at max zoom with or without full macro can be an issue. I was using my pro-master MPV428+ convertible mono-pod, and as you can see, you DO NOT need a 300$ tripod for this lens like many others have claimed, you just a steady hand and patience, and knowledge of your cameras full manual mode.7) Aperture settings in macro are very effective (specifically see the pics of the dandelion head at f/5.6 and f/32) in Av or M mode.8) VERY comfortable hand grip. Auto focus is not effected by me using the lens as a hand hold.9) This lens CAN be used for portraits. Preferred under ideal lighting, but I was able to shoot lots of good portraits of my daughter and wife with minimal effort, using AF and MF under the lighting in our house with no special preparation and no support (mono-pod/tripod). Not posting family pics, sorry.CONS1) As many others have said, the auto-focus is agonizingly slow and noisy (price trade off). Manual mode is the better way to use tele lenses IMO anyway. But the AF is effective, I have no complaints other than speed and noise.2) At max zoom, images are indeed fuzzy... You get better glass with a higher price. See the images of the birds shot at 300mm with a tripod. In defense, it WAS windy. Mode settings are in the meta-data. I hope. Not sure how Amazon uploads.3) I did not notice chromatic aberration... but all the professionals claim it exists. I have no reason to doubt, as I do not have a studio to test under ideal lighting. Again, this is a price trade off.Ending arguments... AF is slow and noisy, and blur at max zoom can be an issue. These issues can be resolved with Photoshop and a tripod if they are that big of a deal to you. I barely noticed, except the max zoom blur which is pronounced compared to even my old FD 70-300 from my Canon A1. Though I did not notice chromatic aberration, this is NOT a professional lens. It DOES deliver some impressive results, many of which I consider to be professional quality. This lens requires skill and knowledge of the tenets of photography to use to its fullest. But if you are looking for this style of lens, you likely already posses such knowledge. For the price, this lens is a steal for any kit, even as a backup lens. Well done, Tamron.

      Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2010
      If you are an amateur photographer looking to stretch out and buy a second lens, you can;t do wrong by this one. For its price its worth having while you hone your skills. This lens is particularly good for getting pics of those critters and creatures you can;t get close enough too. Bear in mind when you use this lens to its full potential at 300mm zoomed in you have to be pretty steady, use a tripod or monopod or lean on something. Not all shots will come out great if your just hand holding as it is quite a heavy and lengthy lens. It does come with its own lens hood, something I did not realize when I ordered. The only slight beef I had was the zoom focus barrel is a little stiff, but you get used to it quickly, its not a Canon lens. Overall as a beginner I am very pleased, I got a new lens experience with good quality at a small price. I am uploading two pictures taken with this lens and a Rebel T1i at a local pond, one frog and one dragonfly, each taken from about 8ft away on Macro mode. This Lens has a normal/macro switch. The AF is not as quiet as a Canon lens, but also its not really noisy either, doesn't bother me.
