The AF 75-300 f/4-5.6 extended-range zoom lens offers true telephoto capability ideal for a variety of applications including sports and wildlife shooting. The lens also features the capability to provide beautifully blurred background to high light the main subject in portraiture, or "compression effects" that make the most of the telephoto lens.

Conclusion: Very nice lens at a great price


Review: I bought the Tamron to go with my Sony a200 dslr. The lens is really nice quality, and it works perfectly with the camera. Autofocus is quick and accurate. It is certainly not a pro quality lens, but for the price it is wonderful. I recommend this for anyone who wants a telephoto zoom to add to their dlsr. I tried out the Sony 70-300mm lens in a local store, but I was not impressed. In particular the usability of manual focus on the Sony lens was quite poor. This one is fantastic in that regard. You may not use manual focus that often, but it's nice to have a lens that can handle the job when you need it.

Conclusion: A long lens


Review: First off this is in no way a compact lens, its big and its heavy, but it does produce very sharp and detailed images under the right conditions.

I am using this with my Sony A200 and it performs well on a tripod, but for handheld success it better be a very bright sunny day or a very high ISO setting because this lens is very difficult to control at extreme telephoto lengths. My Sony begins flashing the warning sign in the viewfinder at 200mm, but to the cameras credit the steady shot performs well. That being said I would suggest that this lens be used with a tripod.

Bottom line, for the cost this is a very nice lens. It is louder than the Sony or Minolta's, and it does hunt a bit at extreme telephoto (partially I beleive due to camera shake induced by it's weight) but all things considered the build quality seems, to me at least, to exceed the Sony kit lens.

Review: Lens was good up to full range. It gets a little hard to hold focus even with tripod. Good at close in shots.
