(4 out of 5) by K. Shah on Sep 26, 2009 (Mumbai, India)This lens serves a no nonsense zoom lens for a novice photographer. Although the focusing is slow it takes great outdoor pictures. My purpose is mainly outdoor photography for which this lens is great. The macro mode takes a while getting used to but I'd rather use this as a zoom lens only.
Overall great value and a super buy for a novice photographer on a budget.

Beautiful, Affordable Camera Lens
(5 out of 5) by Lauren Bullers on Sep 17, 2009 (Pennsylvannia)Tamron has constructed a wonderful telephoto camera lens for Canon Cameras...! This lens helps in taking beautiful snapshots at a closer proximity than a regular standard zoom lens...! Really a nice zoom lens at an affordable price! Definitely recommend it for those wanting to capture some incredible wildlife photos...
Good len for Canon DSLR
(5 out of 5) by E. Albino on Sep 14, 2009Well designed, works perfectly with my Canon Rebel XS, good range, big range for focussing the target.
the complain maybe that i have is the autofocus is little slow, but for this lens, i better if you use in manually mode to achive the the picture as well you desired.
if you want a lens not spensive like other, this lens is a good choice.
i recomended this item.

A Great Lens, But Will it Last?
(3 out of 5) by Robert on Sep 13, 2009I'm an amateur photographer, when i first got the lens i was very happy with it, i mean it was great, long distance, minimal chromatic abberation, but then a month after purchase, it was in my backpack, i asked my friend to pass the bag to me, and it dropped about half a foot, and now the zooming bearing no longer works
I mean don't get me wrong it's very good, if you beleive that you can take good care of it i would greatly suggest it as an entry level telephoto for the amateur photographer to experiment with.
I'm sure there are better Lenses, but if you're going to pay much more money.
Pros: Cheap, Effective, Very good outdoors, Very Sharp at f/8.0, can't be beat for the price
Cons: Bad indoors, no Image Stabilization so it's not very stable under a shutter speed of 1/30, not very good shock resistant
Ultimately i would suggest this lens. Get it, it's cheap, if you want to spend 500 dollars though, get the 70-300mm Canon IS USM lens, it's better, but 5 times the price.

Tamron AF-75-300 f/4.0-5.6 LD for Canon Digital SLR
(5 out of 5) by L. Beister on Sep 5, 2009 (Omaha, NE USA)I purchased this lens 3 weeks ago and I am quite happy with it. A friend let me borrow her Cannon 70-300 lens to try, starting reading the reviews on this lens and decided what the heck, for the price I am going to give it a try, thought both lens
took about the same pictures, and I am very happy that i purchased this lens, I have already received compliments about the quality. So for the price you can't beat this lens and the warranty that comes with it, you would be silly not to get it.
