My sister recommended this as a more affordable alternative to the genuine Canon, I have to say I'm delighted with the quality, fast sharp auto focus even at full zoom in low light. A great buy!

I have only had chance for a brief test with this lens, but initially it looks very promising. The macro feature is good and the light weight but sturdy construction looks excellent. Image quality appears to be everything I would expect from a Tamron lens.

The lens is pretty much as expected; certainly delivered in excellent condition. My main reason for purchasing is for wildlife and sports photography. The main features wanted are the long zoom and the image stabiliser. I have been practicing on garden birds and this weekend used it at a Cycle race. Results have been very pleasing for me but I cant give any professional quantitative measure. I look forward to taking the lens on my next African Safari when I expect the lens to come into its own
I have been very surprised with this lens, not as heavy as I was expecting. I have to say that I am a “returning photographer” having been very successful with film but recent years I have been able to “grab” shots on a compact Nikon good enough for publication. Having recently got a Pentax K5 I needed a telephoto & the Tamron fitted the bill. My first impressions are that it is sharp; you can easily blow up for poster quality. As for the auto focus, sometimes it cannot make its mind up, is it the camera or the lens? My answer has been to manual focus which is clear but then I was brought up old school. If you see this lens at a price that suits your pocket go for it, the only downside is it is not discrete, but then I still have my Nikon P6000
Fits my Samsung GX 20 fine, excellent auto-focus. I am very pleased with the lens I use it for wildlife photography. It takes excellent pictures I manually zoom and then the lens electronically auto-focuses.
