This is a very light weight walk around lens. I have taken it to the ballpark, taken portraits as well as landscape images and I'm very pleased with the clarity the ease of the zoom. from Bhphotovideo.com I got this as a walk around lens on a 5D to supplement my usual lenses , a 24-85 and 70-200 F4L IS . The image quality , while not as sharp as these 2 is amazingly good considering the zoom range , good for 8x10 , maybe 11x14 ,prints . from Bhphotovideo.com I bought the Tamron 28- 300 mm lens mainly to use on vacations. My 2nd photographer used it this weekend for a big wedding for outdoor, church and dimly lit reception shots. from Bhphotovideo.com Very sharp images, and the vibration compensation is excellent. Only minor drawback is lens creep when pointing camera down, but I don't see that as much of a deterrent. from Bhphotovideo.com For the price and weight this is one of your best options. I own the Canon L series version of this lens and it weighs a ton. from Bhphotovideo.com I bought this lens due to its incredible zoom range and small size. I was initially worried about the loose zoom. from Bhphotovideo.com When I traded my Canon 50D for the 5D Mark II, I had to surrender all my EF-s lenses and the Tamron 18-270 VC that had been my "walk around" lens. I had found this 18-270 to be better built than the Canon 18-200, so, based on this experience, it was only natural to add the Tamron 28-300 VC lens to my camera bag. from Amazon.com I own two Nikon prime lenses that I use with my D700: the 24-70 f/2.8 and the 70-200 f/2.8. As I was planning a trip to Europe I decided to look for a more compact, lighter super zoom. from Amazon.com Overall I am pleased with the lens. It's nice not to have to be switching back and forth, but as has been mentioned in many of the reviews I had read, the autofocus is kind of slow. from Amazon.com I purchased this as a used item, but it arrived packed in the original box and wraping and looked like new. It came as scheduled and I would use this supplier again without question. from Amazon.com

Description

Tamrons 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.
