I bought this lens instead of the Sigma as all the reviews said it was much better.....and they were right. Picture quality is excellent and it is very easy to use. Auto focus motor is a little lound but hey who cares. I now use this lens as my first choice for all picture taking as it covers right down to macro with a focal distance of just under a meter. I highly recommend this lens to anyone.
I purchased this lens as a direct replacement for one that I have had for years. I mostly use Sigma lenses but use a couple of Tamrons for specific jobs. This Tamron LD 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 LD AF Lens is superb for use in my garden where I use it to photograph the birds that feed on my feeders. I have used the old lens for years but it has bocome a little noisy and the birds motine the whining noise and fly away. This lens was used and I got it for a tremendous price and hope it will give me many years of service.

Bought this lens for my Sony A230. Delighted with the results as i am an SLR novice, and this is so easy to use. it focuses fast enough for me, and the macro ability really is great fun.
bought as a gift and so far seems to be very well recieved

Love this lens, quick enough focus for my needs added with a 2x converter it gives me enough zoom for decent wildlife. Whilst its not a 5/600mm f4 prime it is a good enough lens for intermediate level photography
