    An Amazing Deal.

    A Phenomenal value. I got this lens as a last minute addition for a trip and it was the BEST decision. This lens took a LOT of great photos and preformed so well I hardly ever swapped to my prime lens. This lens is just long enough/heavy enough to make some mounts struggle to stay upright +++ Clear Decently fast auto focus Great range Price Price Price --- Lack of controls on the lens Lack of a mount/handle under the lens

    No complaints!

    I’ve had my camera for two years and I’ve rarely used it. It came with the stock lens and the photos were ehh, decent. This baseball season I made it a goal to take some cool photos for my kids so I knew I needed an upgraded lens. I had seen this Tamron everywhere as the best lens for a lower price and I wasn’t about to spend a ton of money on a lens as a new photographer. This lens is a game changer. Immediately my photos were 70% better with just a new lens. It’s made me want to pick up my camera more because I want to see what I can do with my camera now. I took a photo of the moon the other night and my 9 year old thought I was the best photographer ever. 10/10 recommend this lens!

    Great telephoto lens for the price.

    Reasonably great lens especially for the price that your getting it. Telephoto range was perfect for the shot that I'm trying to achieve. For me this is the best telephoto lens you can try before ordering the lenses that are quite very different in price range.

    A Very Versatile Lense!!

    Fantastic lense!! Love the versatility, although it is a little soft around the edges it's excellent for photography but can be a bit slow for focusing on fasting objects farther away. The zoom barrel can be a bit challenging to use for video for zoom ins and outs as it can be a little stiff but excellent for photos when you want the barrel to stay in place.

The 70-300mm F/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD (Model A047) for Sony full-frame E-mount mirrorless cameras is a telephoto zoom lens designed and created so photographers of all skill levels can enjoy high quality images comfortably. Tamron’s new 70-300mm F4.5-6.3 covers a broad telephoto zoom range yet is the world's smallest size and lightest weight, coming in at 148mm (5.8 in) long with a maximum diameter of 77mm, and weighing just 545g (19.2 oz). With special emphasis on resolving power, Tamron has deployed special lens elements appropriately arranged to correct chromatic aberration, generally very strong in a telephoto lens, as well as other aberrations. Users can enjoy high-resolution images combined with the stunning bokeh qualities that are achievable only with a telephoto lens. The lens also incorporates the RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive) stepping motor unit, a high-speed precision AF drive system that is remarkably quiet. Tamron's Moisture-Resistant Construction provides extra protection, while various features that are built into Sony mirrorless cameras, including "Eye AF," are supported. The 70-300mm F4.5-6.3 is a versatile lens for photographing landscapes, sports and other action, pets and wildlife and more. The lens also demonstrates its potential for portrait shooting, casual snapshots and scenarios that require you to be mobile and shoot handheld, like sporting events. The apparent image compression and the close-up effects characteristic of telephoto lenses naturally amplify photographic expression. Zooming in on distant objects and making them appear closer is one of the joys of telephoto shooting. This zoom lens provides an entryway into that new world.

4.7(31)

The Tamron 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 is the world's first lens for APS-C mirrorless cameras with a 16.6x zoom ratio, the greatest feature of this lens, covering wide-angle to an ultra-telephoto range (27mm to 450mm full-frame equivalent). With this broad coverage, the lens empowers shooting in a wide variety of situations including everyday life and travel snapshots with wide-angle, dynamic ultra-telephoto, and macro photography. The lens includes special optical elements arranged precisely to maintain high resolution performance from edge-to-edge and provide high image quality making it the best of all all-in-one zoom lenses.

4.9(88)

The Tamron 28-200mm F/2.8-5.6 (Model AFA071S-700) is the world’s first all-in-one zoom to achieve a maximum aperture of F2.8 at the 28mm wide-angle end. Despite covering a wide range of focal lengths, the lens is lightweight and compact, making it convenient to bring along for all your picture taking needs. When combined with a compact, lightweight full-frame/APS-C mirrorless camera, it allows photographers to capture virtually every scene they encounter in daily use, travel, sports and nature. Tamron did not compromise on optical performance. The use of special lens elements—including LD (Low Dispersion) and XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion)- help suppress chromatic aberrations, making it possible to achieve high image quality from edge to edge. With a MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.19m (7.5 in) at the wide end and 0.8m (31.5 in) at the telephoto end, the lens also offers high-level close-up shooting performance. The AF drive system is powered by the RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive) stepping motor unit to deliver high-speed, high-precision performance. The lens also features Moisture-Resistant Construction and Fluorine Coating for added protection.
