I was going based off the reviews at first and had my doubts but I took a shot at this anyway. WoW This has definitely elevated my action shots. Definitely a great deal over the Sony.
Richard –
I live under dark skies so I like to experiment with night photography in that I own a inexpensive Omegon tracker and can increase my exposure times. The Swan Nebula and moon are shot at 300mm. The other 2, at 70mm. Im still learning how to optimize but am pleased with the results. I know an APOD isnt forthcoming but you can have fun with it if you acquire a cheap tracker. As all the reviews agree, this lens is excellent quality for use during normal daytime conditions with excellent clarity, especially for the price.
Edward –
The lens is a Great lens for the price but it is definitely not the best. Used with AR7III the Auto Focus is somewhat slow as others have stated. The zoom rotation is somewhat tight and not as fluid as other zoom lens but the lens is a solid built lens with very good optics as long as you do not need to use for fast autofocus such as withsports the lens is a great addition but better for landscape and wildlife capture. If Tamron could address the focus speed they would have an allaround winner For the price it is a great lens but know it does have its limitations.

I purchsed this lens to take me from my Kit Lens to the long shots. I have not had a lot of time to work with it but from what I have seen so far it really fills the bill. I do mostly landscapesnaturearchitectual shots. It will me nice to have what I consider a full range of coverage. I was pleasantly pleased with the few shots that I did take and am anxiously looking forward to a decent field trip to really give it a shake down.

Its been about a month. Playtime to find the lens is what most reviewers claim after more careful examination than mine. A good lens and a good value. Im an 85 yearold higher end amateur. Carrying the lens all day attached to either my Sony A7II or A7III, most often strapped to my wrist, was not a chore. I wanted the 300mm and was happily surprised by the modest, even low light capability. At 85 I am not a tripod and purposely didnt use a tripod. The cameras stabilization did the trick as many pros have written. Focus was fast and spot on for my needs. Perfection center to edges is an unrealistic expectation at this price point, but my eyes were satisfied. My guess is a pro might need more, but will likely be able to afford higher end alternatives, though comparisons to the Sony version indicated they were equal with the Tamron a nose ahead in some fine categories. A month in Europe will tell me a lot more.

My experience with this lens on a Sony A7ii has been pretty impressive. The lens has excellent image quality for the most part with the images taken at the lower range being just a little poorer than those at the long end. Overall very good IQ, sharpness and contrast. I like the colors out of this lens. There is a slight pin cushion effect at 300mm but very little vignette. Focus is pretty fast and smooth but slows down at the long end in poor light. Eye AF works well. Although the lens is not stabilized the Sony IBS really makes it a nonissue for me. Im very happy with it, especially at the price point

This lens is very light and is weather sealed. Its ideal for outdoors daytime photos. As the aperture is limited to 5.56.3 indoor usage for average or low light situations is not ideal.ProsIts very light for a 70300 zoomsIts got some weather sealingGreat focusing with the Sony bodiesIt not super expensive67mm ring and in body firmware updates are great perks if you are invested in Tamron lenses.ConsIt has no in built optical stabilization, but works ok with current generation A7 and A9 series cameras as they have built in stabilization.Aperture limits the background blur that you can get it with a f2.8 but size will ensure that you bring this way more often that that bulky lens anyway.
Melissa –
Ive gotten out to shoot a couple of times with this lens. Its definitely a bargain in addition to being lightweight and fast. Im very happy with it.
Richard –
Tamron has hit the ball out of the park with this lens. It is light and the optics are great and at an unbelievable price.
Jeanette –
compared to other zoom lenses which are similar but very expensive, this is pretty good, its all i need for wildlife images. I didnt need image stabilization because my A7iii has it.
J. –
Fijne en betaalbare zoomlens voor full frame camera. Maakt heel mooie opnamen en heeft een prachtig zoombereik. Aanrader voor iemand met een beperkt budget.
EVE –
Ive been waiting a long time for a solid telephoto zoom that was light enough for my 73 year young body. No disappointment here. I would have liked OSS yet so far my hand is not shaking as much. The focus is spot on. Great price use it on my Sony a6500.
Andrew –
For the price this is great There are no other options out there like this. Thanks, Tamron.
Shayne –
Lens is very sharp Lacking the IS I am relying on my camera for stabilization which does ok. Camera is usually on a tripod anyway, so not a big deal for me as its mostly for landscape photography. At this price point Id say its impossible to beat it for what you get.I was a little bummed with the expedited shipping. Received the lens in a week as it took 3 days to process and then sat at the delivery services warehouse for 2 additional days and THEN is the 2 day shipping. Just so youre aware.

First day out I found this lens to be responsive. Its been a long time since I had such a lens in my bag. Tomorrow will take it out again to learn its full capability.

Carlos –
This lens surpassed my expectations. When walking around with it, it is lightweight enough that I dont pay attention to it. 300mm reach is superb for the form factor. And the sharpness, particularly in the center, which is the area that matters for me, is superb. It is a joy to shoot with.
Helmut –
Recently got this lens and took it out to the botanical garden as well as our backyard. It works well especially the autofocus which is responsive and fast. Overall a great value and addition to my prime lenses.

Habe das Objektiv an meine Sony dran getan und alles hat super Funktioniert. Die Bildschrfe konnte ich noch nicht ausfhrlich testen, aber in der Mitte bis 80 zum Rand ist es auch offenblendig scharf.

Scott –
Used with my Sony a6500. Image is sharp at 300mm. I have no complaints with the aperture as I usually shoot in brighter settings. The lack of image stabilization is very noticeable in the viewfinder, but the incamera stabilization still works great with this lens and produces excellent, crisp photos.
Ansel –
Its a great lens if you dont have a big budget for a super zoom lens, Tamron 70300mm will be your best choice. 300mm can have fun in shooting aviation photography.
J. Dekker –
Blij verrast. Maakt scherpe opnamen. Het beperkte gewicht is een groot voordeel.
Michael –
Out of nowhere it will not focus. I have found that if I take the battery out while the camera is on then put it back most of the time it will focus again for a while until it stops again. Other than that it is a nice lens.
Justine –
I got this FF lens to use on my cropped a6000, planning on upgrading in the next couple of years and was hesitant to buy a cropped telephoto. The images are crisp, smooth focus, light weight. Its very hard to get sharp manual focus on full zoom. Great for animal photography.
Bryan –
Excellent lens, and very sharp, especially for the price.
Tom –
A great budget telephoto. Im using on a A6400. No IBIS, no OSS…No problem. Set shutter priority at least 1500 sec and auto ISO. Impressive IQ even at 12001500 ISO. NR in LR Mobile..good to go

For reference I am using this with a Sony A7R ii.For 500 its pretty hard to beat the quality of this lens. It is mostly plastic, but it feels solid and is weather sealed too. I took it out to take pictures of wildlife and was pleased by its focusing speed and image quality despite having smaller f stops. The days were nice and sunny, which works well with this lens. I havent tested low light performance but I am assuming youll need a fairly low shutter speed or iso bump.Overall great lens for 500 on sale, I recommend to anyone not wanting to drop a thousand or more on a comparable focal length.

Donna –

Kenn –
I have a Sony a7RIII, which I love, and which has 5way image stabilization, which lets me shoot at least to 125 second, sometimes even a bit slower. While the Sony lenses have OSS additional image stabilization, I really love the pricepoint on the Tamron lenses, and now have a set of three to cover 24mm300mm. I find I can live handily without the additional OSS, and I find the Tamron lenses bettermade, more rugged and they come with a 5year warranty I dont see a need to buy a Sony lens, unless theres a prime I really want. VERY happy with the sharpness of the Tamrons.

Excellent service and a great lens. My wife is using this daily on our Sony. Quick shipping and no problems We will use BH again

This is a good lens. It is very sharp, it focuses accurately, quietly and quickly and its lightweight.For all intents and purposes, this lens acts exactly the same as a native Sony lens. Its a little strange not having any switches or buttons on a zoom lens but its not really limiting.The lack of stabilization isnt an issue. Its pretty easy to get images without motion blur at 130 second on my 7DM3. I can sometimes go slower, but I need to take a burst of shots to ensure at least one does not have motion blur.I was also impressed with the freebies included. The filter was a good quality BW filter and the cleaning kit was good quality too.
Ovidiu –
I bought this lens without big expectations, to be totally honest, just for the price. Lens arrived in perfect condition. At the first inspection, I noticed the lens hood is prone to fall off the lens, so I am somewhat worried if I have to use it somewhere near water or bridges. The lens is fast focusing and it is sharp, I found is perfect for birds in flight, as long as the light is good, but if you want to shoot at night, this is not a lens for you, I would go for at least a f2.8 for that. I also used the lens for occasional street photography to photograph aggressive urban animals unsafe to approach with a small lens.

I was just hoping for a decent zoom lens that had a long reach, but this has been a much higher quality lens than I expected. It looks great, and having it compatible with my Sony A6600s auto focus, it makes getting some of the most impossible shots that much easier. I think my only concern is durability, but I have no idea how flimsy it might be. All I can say is that its very light for such a large zoom lens, so I dont know how well it will hold together under any stress.
Mark –
I have had this lens for a few weeks and so far the photos have been great. I am using it on an older APSC camera without IBIS and I really notice the lack of OSS, but the speed of the camera manages to make up for it. It struggles a little in low light but otherwise the autofocus is really fast and responsive.

Hallo zusammen. Also. was kann ich sagen Nur Tolle Zoom. 1 der erste Konkurrent ist den Sony, dass doppelt kostet und sie haben die gleiche Schrfe und Bildqualitt. Das ist der erste Vorteil. Die Bildqualitt ist top. Ganz einfach. 2 Handling am Anfang kann ein bisschen schwer sein, weil die beide Ringe invertierte sind aber nicht schlimm nach 10 min bist du sehr zufrieden. 3 die Verarbeitung ist fr mich sehr gut ganz geschtzt gegen Regen und Staub. Ich habe probiert, zu fotografieren schon mit dem Regen. Probleme NEIN. Ganz perfekt. Absolut zu empfehlen, wenn ein Super Zoom findest, geeignet fr deine Sony A7. Ich war unsicher wegen dieses Objektiv und das war fr mich einen Test, weil meine erste Idee ein Sonys Objektiv war aber heute kann ich nur die Objektiven von Tamron weiterempfehlen. Aus diesem Grund, wenn ich die Mglichkeit habe, kaufe ich auch den kleinen Bruder, die 2875 f2.8, zu haben die beste Combo wegen Reisen und Landschaftsfotografie. Fr mich absolut Top.

Fijne lens in gebruik. Mooie scherpe beelden. Niet al te zwaar voor een zoom lens. Geen toeters en bellen. Autofocus is wat traag, maar omdat ik vaak film gebruik ik toch meestal manual focus.

Ik heb deze lens gekocht omdat ik het vermoeden had dat 70200mm te weinig verschil zou de Tamron 2870mm die ik al had. Na een paar weken met deze lens merk ik dat ik hem steeds vaker standaard op mijn camera laat zitten A7c. Het is een relatief lichte lens die relatief snel zoomt. De f6.3 op 300mm is alleen na zonsondergang echt een uitdaging. Ik ben erg blij met de fotos die ik hiermee kan maken.

Voor deze prijs een onovertroffen lens. In de meeste situaties is deze lens net zo goed als zijn duurdere GM broertje, maar wel voor een fractie van de prijs. Ik gebruik deze lens samen met een a7iii body. Het lichte gewicht van de lens zorgt er voor dat dit een goeie combinatie is om een hele dag bij je te dragen. Tot zelfs s avonds laat, want zelf bij weinig licht kan je met deze lens prachtige fotos maken.
