Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 Di LD Macro Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras
Customer Review: Tamron 70-300 Di is outstanding!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just purchases the Tamron AF 70-300 LD Di for my Canon XTi. I'm in love with this lens!
I've test-driven the Canon EF 28-200, 80-200, 75-300 and 100-300. This lens (in my opinion) is my favorite of the above mentioned. And that's not something I proud to say since I'm such a loyal Canon fan. Just weeks ago I promised myself I'd never spend a dime on a lens that wasn't made by Canon. And here I am writing a positive review about a non Canon item.
I read some great reviews on this lens so I had to try it out. When my copy arrived I was very much impressed with the look, feel and overall build quality of this lens. It's just as solid and sturdy as the Canon EF 28-200 in my opinion. And it's way more attractive and solidly built than the Canon EF 75-300's USM or not. And best of all, the glass is coated in a way to favor digital shooting. This Tamron has a few advantages over the Canon 75-300. One major advantage is simply the fashion side of the lens. What do I mean by that? It's way better looking, period! The Tamron is more solidly built than the Canon 75-300, in my opinion. It has far less "wobble". The Tamron 70-300 LD Di does not suffer from lens creep. At least my copy doesn't. The Tamron comes with a special "macro" setting (180-300) that is extremely useful. The Tamron also comes with a 6-year USA warranty. Enough said! And finally, the Tamron comes with a lens hood. And it's a very solid, nice lens hood as well. When I originally bought my Canon EF 75-300, I had to fork out another $20.00+ for a lens hood that was not up to the quality of the included Tamron hood.
I took mine out for a spin today and it performed brilliantly. I'm impressed with the images I've taken for a lens that's so very affordable. I'm sold on Tamron. In fact, I've just traded in my Canon "daily carry" EF 28-135 IS in favor of a new Tamron SP 28-75. It's on the way and I'm looking forward to receiving it. I'm sold on Tamron for Canon.

Description of Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 Di LD Macro Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras
The Tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di LD Macro Autofocus Lens is a compact, light-weight, ultra-tele zoom which covers the 70mm to 300mm telephoto range and produces photographs of exceptional image quality. It is ideal for taking pictures at a distance particularly when the subject is difficult to approach such as in nature and wildlife photography as well as at sporting and theatrical events. The Tamron 70-300mm also excels at portraiture and allows you to isolate the subject from the background for eye-catching, dramatic portraits. This versatile zoom has superb macro capability with a magnification of 1:2 enabling 1/2 life-size close-up shots of flowers, insects, and other objects that normally would require the use of a specially designed macro lens. This new lens is made with the Tamron Di (Digitally Integrated) design which uses an optical system with improved multi-coatings designed to function with Digital SLR Cameras as well as Film SLR Cameras. Tamron also incorporates LD (Low Dispersion) glass in this lens to correct chromatic aberration, resulting in clear, sharp, and beautifully vivid images.Digital Camera Accessories
