Customer Review

Have the lens actually only bought because I did not so desire it had too much drag and sometimes just on holiday but like with a APS-C sensor approx 18x optical want maximum turn come to animals or details without hitting a having to dodge Bridge with miserable sensor. And then I was even the original price too expensive, I've bought used for 80 euros from a dealer :). State was like new and I'll take it, thanks to the absence of VC stabilizer (same times 300g lighter), good optical performance and reasonable price and be happy with you on holiday, but only in the luggage and not in your hand luggage :), since it does not hurt at loss with moderate zooms in hand luggage come through the holiday.

If you only need from time to time much telephoto, is the lightweight Tamron 70-300mm dead right. The area that is covered is ideal to filter out people from the crowd and scan animals and excerpts of architecture. Here, the Tamron 70-300 is processed smoothly and fairly robust.

The imaging performance:

Yes, it is soft and forth from the screen is at the end of a little soft. But sharpened in RAW and halved in the MP resolution, the photos are so crisp. What the color fringing, even chromatic Abber rations are but notice the most known. But they are not as dramatic as a total soft, flat image (or a front / back focus), as I (is what scrap and can not be saved) by soup zoom, starting from wide angle (not like at specialized telephoto lenses that just starting from 50-70mm, like here) know. Unlike travel zoom cheaper, lighter and at least 3 times as much of the imaging performance. I was in Japan and wanted to photograph the snow monkeys. That was a killer test for the Tamron 70-300mm. The hair of the monkeys were slightly softened and the hard transition from blurred background of rocky landscape the front area with the monkeys on the slope on white snow, illuminated by the midday sun, was a bit too much for the telephoto lens. Had unfortunately Purple-Blue hems at the edges, but the picture all the points of a useful objective tests in itself - edge blur, ISO-height by a lack of light intensity at the end, chug along through lack of stability (+ noise in the image, since immediately to ISO 1600+ had to be asked + Cheap APS-C body with low-pass filter), hard contrasts chromatic Abber rations sharpness of image details in the image center. The pictures have slipped from 24MP to 12MP and then 7-10MP because my claim have increased sharpness, contrast, color, details, speed and no noise in the picture over the years to infinity, but as always I and everyone else must pay attention to my purse, which tells me "private fun, you get no money for it." Thus I find myself from it, as I had already mounted lenses that have delivered worse results than many upscale bridge camera. Not the case here.

For the amateur, a top lens. Who would have though clever nature and wildlife photos, the lands, like being on holiday with me 2 full format photographer, when I made the photos of the monkeys at a stable tripod, a gun barrel (
In short, the objective is backup telephoto lens and universal telephoto lens for amateur and travelers ideally suited as a lightweight low and considering the price it can only 5 receive 5 stars, as one for the money not even a mediocre Converter Adapter would receive. I have to come to 30x (about 675mm), even a used Kenko 1.5x teleconverter (2x teleconverter have miserable picture quality) to buy (56 Euro :-)) and day works even relatively faint Tamron 70-300mm lens accurate autofocus at the end. Much slower and quite noisy, but it comes and I zoom so extreme eh only in daylight. And even when things are not going fast geswitcht to MF and the Tamron 70-300mm can be extremely pleasant and just focusing manually.

Even something brash Rank: 1/5
