Product Description

 
This is a new zoom lens from Tamron that lets you bring your far away subjects up close while compressing the distance between the main subject and the background for professional-looking results. Even while covering up to a 500mm that enables you to take ultra telephoto shots of subjects further than the eye can see, its design is extremely lightweight and compact. When mounted on an APS-C size digital SLR camera, it provides a focal length equivalent to a 760mm for super ultra telephoto imaging.

Cheap, lightweight, and decently sharp. Autofocus not ideal for wildlife

Stabilized long lens for < $850!!!

Date of Review:  Apr 12, 2006
The Bottom Line: Low weight and antishake make this a great long lens for hand-held shots. But I wish it had an autofocus limiter to help with flying birds.
Review: Epinions doesn't allow embedded images, which is a shame for camera/lens reviews. Hence, I've posted some images taken with this lens here:
