Product Description:
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.

Amazon.com Product Description:
It's never been easier to capture great action shots than with the Tamron AF 70-300mm macro lens. Delivering superior image quality for both digital SLRs and 35mm film cameras, this flexible lens lets you zoom in extra close when shooting moving subjects, such as athletes on the field or children running or playing. When used with a digital camera, the lens does even better, producing a super-telephoto 35mm equivalent of 465mm--unbeatable in almost any other lens.

Macro Switch
The lens offers an easy-to-use macro switch that lets you alternate between the 180mm and 300mm focal lengths, letting you enjoy true macro photography with a telephoto effect at a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2. The minimum focus distance, meanwhile, is 59 inches from the subject in normal shooting ranges, but when you flip the switch, you can get as close as 37.4 inches. And as an added bonus, the lens boasts a nine-blade circular diaphragm that provides beautiful soft-focus imagery for a professional result. Now you can showcase all your photographic talent with close-up shots of small flowers and insects in parks or in the wild, or any other beautiful small object you discover.

Coatings
Tamron has also adopted various countermeasures against ghosting and flare, common problems in digital photography. The lens employs internal surface coating and new multilayer coating technology to minimize reflections that occur when light enters through the front element, while also reducing image-degrading effects caused by the imagers themselves. The strictest quality control standards were also applied to increase resolution performance and prevent flare due to aberrations, resulting in a telephoto zoom lens ideal for photography with digital SLR cameras. This is one lens you can use with confidence.

- I add another vote for this is a really a good one
I have sony alpha dslr A200 and a bit disappointed with it's softness in focus. Now I know it was a problem of the lens comes with a default. With this Tamron zoom on it, I got a way better sharp images and I am really happy with my choice.

- excellent zoom lens
As I am not an accomplished photographer, I know little about all of the technical terms associated with photography. I do know, however, the tamron af 70-3-- f/4.0-5.6 Di LD Macro zoom lens for my Sony A-200 SLR Camera works wonderfully. Since I don't know what I am doing (yet) it has been basically a point and shoot experience that has worked out well.

- Excellent lens for the price
This is an excellent lens for its price. It's plastic-bodied, but of good quality plastic, miles better than any kit lens. The use of plastic also means it's light and thus easy to carry, where a heavier lens might get left at home. There are no rattles or wobbles even at the (quite long) maximum extension.

Flaws? It's slow to focus, which means that it may not be the best for fast-paced action, but this also helps with focus accuracy. The front of the lens rotates during focussing, ... Read More

- Lived up to expectations
Have owned a Tamron lens before for a 35mm camera and were satisfied with that lens. Bought this to go with a Sony Alpha and it has met expectations. It allows quick, crisp shooting with very good detail in a variety of lighting. While it has given us some good shots with the camera handheld, it really shines with a tripod.

Our primary use is nature shots, but have used it for interior shots, as well. As advertised, it works very well with the autofocus capabilities of the camera. ... Read More

- Great Lens for Price
A significant improvement over the older Tamron units. Good to excellent when two or more f stops applied. Slight purple fringing on highly backlighted subjects but easily removed in post processing. Overall, highly reccommended.
