Telephoto zoom lens with excellent cost performance and optimised for use with digital SLR cameras. Capable of macro photography, this lens has a 1:2 maximum close-up magnification at the 300 mm focal length. It's the ideal high performance lens for portraits, sports photography, nature photography, and other types of photography that frequently use the telephoto range. SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass We used SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass in this lens for excellent correction of chromatic aberration. This also corrects for fluctuation of aberration due to focusing. The new multi layer lens coating reduces flare and ghosting, a common problem with digital cameras and also creates an optimum colour balance. Macro shooting with maximum magnification 1:2 The minimum focusing distance is 1.5 m/59 inches at all zoom settings. It also has a switch for changeover to macro photography at focal lengths between 200mm and 300mm with a maximum close-up magnification from 1:2.9 to 1:2. Without changing the distance between camera and subject, you can change the shooting magnification.

 "good but not as smooth as it could be" 2010-07-27
By Mr. David G. Dawsey (Chelmsford, UK)
This is a very good lens for the money and does everything you would expect from it. The only complaint I have is the lens isn't as smooth as it could be when manually adjusting the zoom.

 "very good price" 2010-07-21
By P.J.
very happy with this lens,i am new to using an SLR camera & only had the one standard lens that came with the camera kit.i wanted to get a telefocal lens but only if i could find one at the right price. wasn't sure if it was motorised so i got in touch with Amazon on the help link. i received the answer that yes it was a few hours later (a very useful service).didn't think i could afford a brand new lens,this is the price bracket of a second hand lens, so well done Sigma. an added bonus was that it came with a lens hood, which i wasn't expecting & saved me a few more £s. this len ticks all my yes boxes.Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6 DG Macro For Nikon Digital & Film Cameras

 "Amazing lens..." 2010-07-19
By will
this really is an absolutely amazing lens. i bought this recently, and i was absolutely blown away by the quality and sheer beauty of the lens and the photos it can take. the auto focus is great, and with a good camera, it can be a truly wonderful experience to use. i highly recommend this lens to anyone, beginner or semi pro. it is absolutely fantastic. I also found the macro setting very useful- it can take some stunning photos, but you need to be careful that you have something steady to rest the camera on, or a tripod, or even a really steady hand, because close ups when your hands are shaking can result in serious blur. fantastic lens.

 "Is this for me?" 2010-06-17
By Lord Robert W. Duff (Scotland)
If like me you are just starting out in the DSLR world, this is the lens for you. Its well made, does "what it says on the tin" and is excellant value for the money compared with other compatible lenses on offer. You will not be dissappointeed.

More than I could ever have hoped for at this price, the picture quality is absolutely superb and now I capture shots I could only have dreemed of before.

Tamron now offers a lightweight, compact, high-image-quality telephoto zoom lens with macro capability of 1:2 that can be used with digital cameras. This new lens is a Di type lens using an optical system with improved multi-coating designed to function with digital SLR cameras as well as film cameras. With this 70-300mm telephoto zoom lens, flipping a macro switch in the focal length range of 180mm to 300mm obtains a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2 at a minimum focus distance as short as 37.4", enabling close-up shots of flowers, insects, and other objects that normally require the use of a specially designed macro lens. Moreover, this is a zoom lens that casually offers the distant capture and foreshortening effect pleasures of the 300mm ultra-telephoto world.

 "Well worth it." 2010-05-08
By A. S. Styles
I bought this lens as a replacement for the standard 75-300mm f4.5-5.6 Sony kit lens that came with my Sony Alpha 200W DSLR, and I have to say it was worth it.

Although it only has roughly the same specification as the original sony lens, the difference in image quality is noticeable. I take alot of pictures of wildlife and motorsport (not to mention portraits and landscapes, but obviously not with this lens) and I had terrible purple fringing (CA) at 200-300mm particularly in high contrast situations, and I have to say this lens reduced this effect massively. This has improved image quality no end. At 62mm diameter it is also a better light gatherer (the Sony is 55mm dia) which helps to keep the shutter speed up in overcast conditions. In low light the autofocus can struggle and 'hunt' a little, but the Sony lens used to do this anyway and if you set up your autofocus to center spot AF, you should find moving targets are not really a problem. The manual focus ring is decent on this lens unlike some, so manual focus is not difficult when photographing stationary objects if the AF is struggling.

The lens build quality is good for the money, it is a plastic lens but to me I think of the weight saving this brings rather than looking at it as a negative. It's length is also shorter than some which makes it easier to hand hold coupled with its low weight.



If you are after your first telephoto zoom lens or are looking for a replacement for the Sony kit zoom lens and have not got £500 to spend, then I can certainly recommend this lens. It will do the job you want it to in most situations providing you the photographer, do your part of course.

 "Love it for what it is" 2010-04-23
By philip
Love This lens, it takes some good pictures as you can see from the ones I have uploaded. The only downside to the lens is the auto focus, it loves to go hunting around to find focus and by the time its found the subject you are shooting it may be to late if you use it for wildlife that is, but for big clear subjects it is OK, its also a little bit to noisy. For somebody on a tight budget I highly recommend this lens. Im using it on Sony a200.(which is a fab camera)

 "great kit" 2010-03-16
By Mr. NORMAN C. A. O'ROURKE (uk)
This lens was great choice for my budget, shame i didnt come to amzon first or would have saved Loads of dosh. the images it gives are great its like any piece of equipment you need to take time to get use to it and take your time with the shots. I use the lenss on my Sony A200 and glad I had Chosen the lens.

 "Excellent Value For Money" 2010-02-04
By K. Pugh (Bristol)
I have been an avid point and shoot photographer for years, capturing the delights of parties and holidays for my facebook account, but at Christmas I was given a Sony A230 so I could start taking my photography a bit more seriously. I am a big sports fan, so decided to test the camera out at my boyfriend's rugby game. I was delighted with the picture quality, but with the standard lens I could only get good shots when the action was right in front of me. So I decided I needed a zoom lens. As this is only a hobby for me I could not afford to spend mega bucks on it, so searched Amazon and Photo Plus magazine for some advice. This piece of equipment came highly reccommended, and carried a very reasonable price tag. And I must say it did not disappoint. My rugby shots are now improving week on week and are even going to be displayed in the team club house. The other thing I love about having a zoom lens is that people think you are a professional and get out of your way. HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED!

 "Long reach without reaching too deep into your pocket !!!" 2010-01-27
By Cryingross (UK)
I was looking for an affordable lens in the long zoom range and all the canon lenses in this range were too expensive for my budget. I was attracted to this lens by the really affordable price and thought I would take the chance and buy one. I actually did not even bother to check whether this was an EF or EF-S equivalent lens until after I bought it. I was glad to find out that it was an EF equivalent which means that I can still use this lens if I upgrade to a full frame sensor camera in the future. I currently own a Canon EOS 50D and this lens looks really great on the camera. It has a very sporty appeal to it especially with the supplied lens hood attached.

I have taken some really great pictures with this lens and the bokeh is really amazing at the longer focal length and wide aperture. I was able to get some really close up shots of birds at a lake near where I live. It was an overcast day and I was able to shoot handheld at ISO 160 - 500 with great results.

The lens build for the price is really outstanding and pretty solid even though it's made out of plastic. Here's a list of pros and cons from my experience with this lens:



Pros: Low price - lightweight and solidly built - will fit APS-C and full frame Canon bodies - aesthetically appealing (looks great on the camera) - walkabout friendly - lens hood included - large zoom ring - no lens crawl along zoom range



Cons: Slightly noisy focus due to no USM - no internal focus - no VC



Overall you would be hard pressed to find a lens as good as this in this price range.
