good2008-12-29
Actually I had no chance to use the len since it arrived at the last day of scheduled period, which was the first day of my vacation. More or less, it's a pity. But I believe it's a good len.

This lens was delivered very quickly in packaging that protected it very well. I gave it to my son-in-law as a Christmas gift, and he was thrilled with it. A superior product from a very fine businesss. Thank you!
for the money, you can't beat it2008-12-17
just got mine about a month ago and i'm very pleased. the lens is very sharp, even at full zoom. i didn't think so at first, then i realized that i just have to learn to hold a camera steady. (much better on the tripod)
zoom lens for Pentax camera2008-10-03
I have a SLR Pentax camera and was looking for a 300m zoom lens for my camera which is a film camera. I checked with Pentax and this lens does fit a film and digital camera. The Macro lens is a bonus because I don't have to change lens for close up and distance pictures anymore. It fits my camera perfectly, the zoom is great, delivery was quick, and the price at Amazon was the best. Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 Di LD Macro Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras regards, Clare
Lottsalens for the price2008-09-16
I think the majority of reviewers have captured the qualities of this product. It's not a professional piece of equipment, but damn close to it considering the incredibly low price. A great lens to learn with and have fun with while also providing the opportunity for some intriguing and very good photos.
