Customer Ratings & Reviews

This lens is so versatile and im obsessed! The images are beautiful!

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.

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.

This is a really good lens! Especially for the price. I use it on my Sony A7iii. I’ve been able to get some good nature and wildlife shots with it.

I use this lens on my Sony a7 III, and it is a work horse! My pictures are crisp, and is easy to focus through fencing. I've used actual Sony lenses, and this is just as good in quality.

The best budget lens I've come across is the [Tamron 70 - 300mm]. Its impressive optical performance, coupled with an affordable price tag, makes it a standout choice for amateur photographers or those on a budget. The lens delivers sharp images, minimal distortion, and good low-light performance, making it a reliable option without breaking the bank. Keep in mind that while it might lack some advanced features, it provides excellent value for its cost.

I use it with my Sony A7iv and I love it. Especially for the price. The lens picks up nicely. Colors are crisp. Very happy with the lens, especially for the price. Already used for sons football games.

Great lens for shooting outdoors very affordable great for beginners trying to learn.

Reasonably quick autofocus and a sharp image, especially for the price.

This is an excellent lens its very well made and its great for far photography.

Love it so far. was able to take the attached picture last night with ease

I had only played with my 30mm 1.4 and this sweetheart of a lens was a surprise let me tell you. Its such a cozy zoom its pretty hefty but lightweight i really enjoyed scoring this baby for a reasonable price.

Got this to cover varsity football and it has been a beast. Sharp as a tack and captures color so well. Sometimes a little slow to focus, but overall no complaints.

I was looking for a good longer lens than what I currently had for my Sony mirrorless DSLR, but the prices were a bit stiff. I read the reviews for the Tamron 70-300mm zoom and, with the very reasonable price on-line with Best Buy and some Rewards points, I went ahead and ordered it. So far, I've enjoyed the Tamron. It feels like a very quality build (while yes, it isn't all metal, it feels good, but not overly heavy, which is a plus when lugging stuff around). The pictures I've taken so far, even when displayed on my 75" TV, look sharp. There's been no issue with quick auto-focus, metering accuracy, or zooming. So, while I'm sure the Sony equivalent lens is a great one (and I have a number of the E-mounts and love them), the Tamron is an excellent substitute in my opinion and the price cannot be beat.

Works perfect. Clear, sharp, to be honest I prefer Tamron than the Sony brand.

Very nice cgeap lens. AF works nice and fast and the sharpness outperforms my abilities for now at least.

Really good lenses for the Sony camera. Highly recommend for shooting long distance

I bought this lens for amateur sports photography with my Sony Alpha 7IV. So far it has performed very well. I am able to get close and action shots. Sometimes the auto focus is a little off - but overall it is a great purchase.

Having the wide range of the lens is nice for variable distances and focusing.

Great lens for the money, nah it is great lens. I purchased both the Tamron 70-300mm lens and the Sony 70-200mm G lens expecting that the Tamron would very much disappoint when married up to the a9 camera but NO! Yes there are advantages to the Sony lens but for the average camera user the Tamron didn't show too much flaws and now the price. Yes the price and the warranty that comes with it when you combine it and look at value it is well worth it and if I did it over I would buy the Tamron and maybe something else like fast wide angle lens.
