I have just purchased a used example of this lens after reading some positive reviews to replace a Nikon 70-300mm VR zoom with a fault. Technology seems to have moved on; this is sharper at the challenging maximum zoom, really good in fact without any need to qualify with 'for a cheaper 3rd party lens' (although frankly I don't know the relative new costs). The VC (Vibration Control) is visibly very effective, I haven't attempted to quantify this but it is at least as good as the Nikon and quite possibly better. Very chuffed with this purchase. I'd highly recommend this as better than the Nikon for typically slightly less money. On practical note, weight is almost identical, the Tamron being a negligible 20g heavier (out of 760g odd), so no worse for walk-about photography. I can't vouch for sample variation of course which can be an issue with camera lenses, but that might affect the Nikon as much as the Tamron for all I know.Read full review

Great image quality for relatively little outlay. I have used this lens on Canon mount and now Nikon and have been very pleased with both versions. The image stabilisation is particularly effective, giving you a shake free image in the viewfinder, especially useful at the long end of the lens. Sharpness is least good at the 300 mm setting but stopped down to f11 is perfectly usable. Well made, chunky without being too heavy, quiet in operation, fast accurate auto focus, good on full frame and crop sensor cameras, whats not to like!

I have used this lense for a few years now and has been able to handle anything. Give quick sharp images even when zoomed right in because of the great image stabilisation. Able to give great macro effect once zoomed into objects that are close. Great for wildlife photography and even landscape photography at a distance meaning you don't have to move around that much.

Very nice lens, with great value for the money. Image stabilization is very good, picture is sharp and the focus is very accurate. Definitely worth buying!

Of course all big range zooms have drawbacks, but this lens is a great deal. Thanks to the USD, it could be used on E-mount system cameras with any Sony adapters!
