It`s strange that I have this lens in my collection and it`s nowhere near as inferior as you describe. If anyone is on a budget and wants a good telephoto, go and buy it. It`s a great piece of kit. No telephoto lens is as good as a prime (fixed focal length) lens, so don`t expect it to be.

Finally - a reviewer who says things in a way that unschooled, newbie, wanna be photographers can understand.without having to go out and buy a politically correct dictionary. Thanks for explaining more about what to look for in lenses. I suppose old time photographers already know how to look for the CA, but newbies like me need the kind of hand holding you did in this video. Thanks for the review and for the straightforward language. I know there are some decent quality lenses out there, but without reviewers who can speak plainly we new guys might never recognize them. Thanks again for not catering only to the knowledgeable and for helping those who need the help.

I bought this lens back in 2010 as part of a kit with my EOS 50D and I've always hated it and rarely use it. In the last week I have been giving it a second chance, deciding to use it to photography garden birds. After having it set up on a tripod directed out of the window for a week, I don't have any usable bird photos. I think it's time to let it go onto eBay. Your review of this lens pretty much reflects my experience.

I have this lens on my Pentax K-1. The mount is metal, not plastic and zoom/focus rings are silky smooth. The lens focuses accurately at all focal lengths and is super-sharp considering it's a budget superzoom. Images are colourful and contrasty. The only issue is purple fringing on high contrast subjects, but this can easily be fixed in PP and it shows up only when shooting certain subjects. I paid only £30, which I think is a bargain for what it does. I have no issues using this as my main telephoto zoom for walk-around photography, I think I must have a good copy!

For me, its a great lens. it cost almost nothing, compared to anything thats out there in the 70-300 range. its true that its not a good lens for high quality pictures, but it does however make for a great learning tool. At least, for me. The awkward handing is also just something you need to get used too, but the fact that its dirt cheap says it all all. Go for it if you are looking for a fun dirt cheap lens, leave it if you want crispy clean high quality images.

You have no idea how GRATEFUL I am for your video. I've got the same lens and I am still a beginner when it comes to SLR photography. I tried so many settings and all of my photos look weird as hell and unsharp when I zoom in (the photos even look terrible when I use a tripod). I really thought I was too stupid to photograph with my SLR camera, which is a Canon EOS 600d btw. But now I know the problem could be the lens. Sometimes I get pretty sharp photos but it's nerve-wrecking to get there, for when I shoot like 100 photos I can only use like 5 of them and I have to delete the rest, for they look terrible. I am saving up for a Sigma 100 - 400 mm lens now and when I got this one I will sell this crappy Tamron lens on ebay. I have enough of it -.-

Tamron 70-300 my review: Cheap lens which handles ok , its not a great lens but for a budget it does its job Tips: when shooting at the tele end try using live live view and magnification to get right focus. The lens is not that good in terms of speed and accurate focus but you will get used to it I tend to use manual focus just to be sure I get it right In terms of response it is slow you will focus way faster in manual, especially in the macro mode Some say they had problems with chromatic aberration I did not notice that but still I have the lens for a day but one thing I can tell you is that at f4 images tend to be a bit soft but if you go to f5.6 or 8 you get sharp photos Hope this is helpful for more questions leave a comment

I used mine for a few years and was never impressed with it for the exact same reasons Chris is pointing out. Soft, purple edges and unusable at any aperture below f11. Back then on a body which could do ISO1600 in a pinch and with lots of noise, I ended up hating this lens with a vengeance. Got rid of it in 2017 I believe and couldn't even find a buyer until I'd had it up for 6 months or so. What a huge difference with my current Pentax 55-300mm PLM lens, also a budget lens but my, a world of difference!

Apparently Ritz Camera's store Quantaray brand has this lens rebranded for them. The branding printing is different and the zoom ring has different texture, but the focus ring is identically knurled and the macro switch is in the exact same spot, and it looks like it's labeled for engaging the same quirky macro. There's one locally to me for sale for $50. I was considering it as a longer zoom compared to the Tamron 80-210 I already have, but I've managed to get some halfway decent pictures of airplanes and helicopters in flight with the 80-210, this thing looks like it would be worse. I guess if I needed inexpensive macro I'd go for it but so far that hasn't been what I've been interested in.

It doesn't quite work like that - if a lens is soft, then no editing software can replace lost detail, although adding sharpness can seem to help a tiny bit.

Sir I have a question: Why can't you turn the focus to the infinity symbol, it stops at the tiny 90° angle and won't go to the infinity (I've been trying to do infinite focus but obviously it doesn't work).

P.S. I would love to see a review of the Tamron 90mm F2.8 Macro lens, it has the same crappy focusing motor as the old tamron lenses and would love to see if that one misses focus just as much as this does to decide if it would be worth the money or not.

Got this lens. While putting lens hood, by mistake i rotated the focus ring, while button was in AF. After this i checked the AF/MF. It was working. Still i fear, has something gone wrong/have i damaged the lens ? Pl. suggest. Will the lens be OK?

yeah thanks I heard that the canon 55-250 is the best quality one for the cheap tele lenses. the 55-250 retails in store for around $300 and amazon is about $200 but I found it on ebay new for $140 straight from japan

Well, its better than nothing I guess,I just bought this at my local Camerahaus store for 1 union/100$, well it was missing image stabilization, but I'm a newbie, so I will use it till I have enough savings for the Canon 70-200mm f/4L USM, which is roughly 400 USD
