My first Tamron 70 - 100mm lens mechanism failed so found it more cost effective to replace rather then repair. However because the lens is so compatible and easy to use it will always be a key part of my camera equipment.

Even though this lens doesn't have image stabilisation built-in I am still able to capture sharp, clear images handheld, even at a large f number such as f/18, without the use of flash. The built-in Macro mode is awesome and something I use quite a lot, the picture quality is exceptional with lots of crisp detail.

I really can't complain, I'd say you get exactly what you pay for and more!

I decided to buy this product as I was asked to take some action shots within football matches. The previous lenses that I had couldnt get in close enough and quick enough, and I held off for a couple of weeks before getting it. My only regret? not getting it sooner. Fantastic clear images, from close up to the other end of the pitch.

For the price, its a brilliant item to have in your bag.

Can't fault the value although the build appears a little fragile - appears to be a bit of a fair-weather tool but I won't be lugging it up hills and mountains or across rugby fields on cold, wet and windy days.

Used it on both my EOS 5D and 40D - the "added" magnification on the latter makes its very useful addition to my kit and will well used in a variety of circumstances.

Played around with the Macro mode and the results look promising.

If you aren't sure whether an investment in a distance lens is the right way to go or you don't really know what spec you really require this is a great piece of kit to help you understand what it is that you really want without having to make a major financial commitment

I chose this lens to go with the kit lens for my Canon 450D - my first SLR after years of using bridge cameras. Anyone new to SLR should add this lens as it's so cheap for what it offers. The aperture allows freezing of fast action up to around 1/2000 sec as long as the light is good. On a cloudy day, 1/640 is about the best. Very light & small considering the zoom range & the macro facility is a great addition.

for its price range it is a good lens but i have found that some times the camera (canon eos 40d) doesn't find the lens and it will some times locks the f-stop at f11 i don't no why and i find what you have to do is turn the camera off and on again which is not good at times. and one more thing i try-ed to take a photo of the red arrows on auto forces and it just didn't work so i was not happy as i missed a shot of a life time
:-(((.
again for the price range it is good lens and for any one how is looking to bey a affordable lens this is a good lens

Purchased this len's a couple of week's ago. I have had the opportunity to try it out in very sunny and very overcast condition's and the picture quality is the same.....excellent. Nighttime shot's are also top quality. For the price this len's is an exceptional addition.

I brought this lens with one thing in mind, to take photos of planes. I have only been out once to take pictures of planes and found that the results was very good. I have used it it many other activitys e.g skiing, surfing, birds, micro shoots of plants all theses areas where very good. its a great buy lightweight and well built.

I bought this lens for my Canon 400D and i have got some real nice shots from this lens.
The value for money here can't be put to question as it is a good performer in this price range.

Only niggle i would have with it is the zooming in and out which seems a bit stiff but the lens is still new and you never no it might bed in nice after further use.

This lens i would recommend to anybody on a tight budget as it will perform well against sub £300 lens of the same optic value.
