After buy the Canon Rebel XTI, I needed an all around lens. I talked to a few people and they all told me to get the Tamron 28 -300. from Cameraworld.com I bought this lense for the focal length. On vacation this summer, I brougth this lense and the 18-55mm that the canon rebel comes with. from Cameraworld.com Purchased this for an Alaskan Cruise in June. Found out I should have stepped up to a Canon L lens. from Cameraworld.com I bought the Tamron AF 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di LD Aspherical (IF) Macro Ultra Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras knowing that, for the price, it is a gateway lens. It is somewhat unfair to compare it to high-end lenses of the same caliber, really-for the price you can expect a plastic mount, louder operation and who knows what other less-than-superior features, right? from Amazon.com I recently purchased this lens after realizing I need an all in one for an event coming up. After hooking it up on a Sony Alpha 100 I was pretty disappointed, took about 20 test shots and everything seemed fine while viewing them on the computer until I looked at the actual size. from Amazon.com I bought this lens as a good walk-about lens. It certainly does meet that criteria as it is incredibly light and compact (altho it zooms WAY out). from Amazon.com It was a gift for my husband he told me it was a great prices and it was just what he was looking for. from Amazon.com I bought this lens used when upgraded to digital with my Nikon D80. It seemed like an okay lens for the price, with an amazing zoom ability (it's range is VERY useful) but I was disappointed at how slow it focuses. There's no manual focus override when it's in autofocus, unlike my other AF lenses. from Amazon.com I was looking for a lens that is very compact for travel. This lens is replacing a tamron 28-70 and 70-300 lens. from Amazon.com I loved this lens at first. However, after only a few times use with my Canon Rebel, it every so often gives me an error signal, causing me to miss important pictures. from Amazon.com

Description

Tamron's 28-300mm lens is an optical pioneer in more than one sense. Three Hybrid Aspherical elements and two high-grade LD (Low Dispersion) glass elements provide sharpness, contrast and color depth while eliminating chromatic aberrations inherent to a high-power zoom lens of this magnitude. The "Quad-Cam Zoom Mechanism" enables four lens barrels to be extended and retracted effortlessly - achieving compactness at 28mm, while holding precise extension at 300mm.
