Excellent lens for the price2008-12-19
For the price this is an excellent lens but did a side by side comparison with my higher priced Tamron 2.8 17-55mm and there is a clear difference in sharpness and contrast so don't expect perfection. If you're extremely demanding then spend the money on quality glass, but if you're a casual shooter and want to save some $$ this is a good deal and great for every day photography. (see samples in Gallery)
Great lens for the price!2008-10-29
I bought the Sony A300 and was immediately disappointed at the image quality produced by the kit lens. So, I started searching for a replacement lens and that's when I came across this Tamron 28-105mm. It offered less WA but longer reach, which I prefer. So, for a mere $40 with free shipping, I could not pass on it and I'm glad I didn't. This is a great, versatile little lens, far better than Sony's kit lens. It's quiet and fast focusing. It produces excellent, sharp and well saturated images right out of the camera. Could not be happier.
Great little lens for the money2008-07-29
I own a Sony DSLR-A300. I bought this Tamron lens at the recommendation of some other Sony DSLR owners on the forums at Steve's Digicams. At the time, one vendor had them for $39. I could not pass this up, especially after seeing the sample shots posted by users. I was not disappointed. The clarity of my photos is great, and the colors look clear and bright. Thought it is not a macro lens (minimum focus is something like 18"), I have taken many clear close-up shots with it. It is a film lens, but works flawlessly with the Sony Alpha cameras. Tamron makes decent lenses.
Tamron AF 28-105mm2008-07-27
Great addition to my Sony Alpha a100. Yes thats right it works with out a glitch with my sony. It takes awsome pictures and goes the extra distance that the standard lens that comes with the a100 can not simply do.
Great buy!2008-07-24
I needed to replace my Sigma 55-80mm lens for every day use and the Tamron was recommended to me as potential replacement. Based on the price and 6 year warranty, it has exceeded my expectations.

Professional video camera
A Professional video camera (often called a Television camera even though the use has spread) is a high-end device for recording electronic moving images (as opposed to a movie camera, that records the images on film). Originally developed for use in television studios, they are now commonly used for corporate and educational videos, music videos, direct-to-video movies, etc. There are two types of professional video cameras: High end portable, recording cameras (essentially, high-end camcorders) used for ENG and EFP image acquisition, and studio cameras which lack the recording capability of a camcorder, and are often fixed on studio pedestals. Portable professional cameras are generally much larger than consumer cameras and are designed to be carried on the shoulder. Technology It is common for professional cameras to split the incoming light into the three primary colors that humans are able to see, feeding each color into a separate pickup tube (in older cameras) or charge ...
