Product Description
The Tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di LD Macro Autofocus Lens is a compact, light-weight, ultra-tele zoom which covers the 70mm to 300mm telephoto range and produces photographs of exceptional image quality. It is ideal for taking pictures at a distance particularly when the subject is difficult to approach such as in nature and wildlife photography as well as at sporting and theatrical events. The Tamron 70-300mm also excels at portraiture and allows you to isolate the subject from the background for eye-catching, dramatic portraits. This versatile zoom has superb macro capability with a magnification of 1:2 enabling 1/2 life-size close-up shots of flowers, insects, and other objects that normally would require the use of a specially designed macro lens. This new lens is made with the Tamron Di (Digitally Integrated) design which uses an optical system with improved multi-coatings designed to function with Digital SLR Cameras as well as Film SLR Cameras. Tamron also incorporates LD (Low Dispersion) glass in this lens to correct chromatic aberration, resulting in clear, sharp, and beautifully vivid images.

 not to bad of a lens June 13, 2010

I purchased this as my first zoom lens, and it requires a nice tripod most of the time to get clear photo's. Its very hard to get clear shots when zoomed in to 300mm. I like this lens because it was not to pricey, but in the future I may get a better one. over all its good for the price, but takes practice to get clear shots. Happy shooting! :)

Got the lens just in time for my vacation. It worked exceptionally well taking bird shots. I even got pictures of a "baby" albatross from a moving tour van. Got the parent too, I can even read the leg band numbers in the picture.
Lens is on a Pentax K100d Super

I own two of these lenses, one on a Pentax mount and the other on a Canon mount. These are great lenses that I would have died for way back in the 1960s when I first started in photography. I have to laugh when I hear some people complain about one thing or another about this lens. Because photography has come such a long way in both cameras and lens design, that todays equipment is so vastly superior to stuff I first learned about. These guys don't know how lucky they are to own it.

So this lens after having it for about a week i noticed dust in my photos, so i cleaned the lens and still dust in my photos. AS is turns out there was dust between the front two elements of the lens. now i do not go into any harsh enviornments to take photos and always take care of my equipment, this should not happen, I emailed the Tamron service center and they told me that it was not covered under warranty, B.S. I say. But any way the photos are soft at all focal lengths. Bottom line spend a little more and do not buy this piece of crap
