    Good product and price

    At high telephoto magnification (300mm) it is a bit difficult to hand hold the lens even with VR on. One needs to hold steady, hold breath and shoot the picture. It works better leaning of setting you elbows on a rest. One can achieve sharp pictures this this lens easy at lower magnifications and certainly is comparable to my Nikon DX VR lens at the 150 mm at this range. I will need to test on the humming birds on the Silk Floss tree to compare.

  • Top critical review

    Lightweight and convenient but not the sharpest.

    This is one of the lowest cost 70-300 lenses with fast autofocus and stabilization both of which perform well. The lens has a autofocus problem with my d7200 that does not occur on a d300 and that is when it does not have enough contrast to autofocus it will go to past the infinity mark and run the motor against the infinity stop making a squeaking sounds, though I find it easy to avoid this problem now that I understand it. The lens is softer wide open than I like at 300mm but it does improve to acceptable levels when stopping down even to f/6.3 although f/8 is best. I chose this lens because the autofocus is very fast, enough for birds in flight and it is light weight and small and because it is more compatible with older cameras than the af-p lenses which are faster focusing, sharper, and more expensive. The bird photo is at f/6.3, the first flower is at f/5.6 and the second flower is at f/8 for some idea of real world usage and they are all at 300mm.

  • at this price it is a steal

    I find the Tamron 100-300 VC USD to be the best long lens of any brand that I have used. The stability of the image in the viewfinder is breathtaking, and the focus performance is excellent. I find the imagery to be very good wide open and stunning at f/8. I do not hesitate to use this on the finest of details (e.g. chickadees) and I am never disappointed.

  • Quality for a reasonable price

    Tested this on two Nikons and it is one of the better lenses I own. As many have stated, the VC on this lens really extends it's usefulness. No complaints as to color casts, fringing, etc. This really beats the Sigma 18-250 I own for clear shots all through its zoom range. Maybe it's a better auto focus. I bought this from a Canadian seller for close to half the price advertised by other vendors. I filled out the Canadian 6 year warranty with my U.S. info and it went through. Hopefully there will be no problems, or I may be making an unscheduled trip to British Columbia.

  • Sharp pictures and a great value

    I am a longtime photographer and generally buy Nikon lenses but thought I would take a chance on the Tamron. The pictures are sharp and the price was a fraction of the Nikon equivalent. We'll see about the durability. Seems to be a lot of plastic and my first thought was "I had better not bring it to the beach with me because the sand will wreck havoc." I guess we'll see but I can replace it a couple of times before I reach the price of the Nikon.

  • solid build and excellent image quality

    VC on this lens is excellent, in my opinion better than Nikon's VR. VC motor makes some noise when engaging, but get used to it and just enjoy the stable image it produces. About picture quality, I have no complaints what so ever. To me auto focus on this lens is fast and spot on. Buy one today, thank me later.

  • Good value for money for sure

    I am sorry for short feed back. Easy to operate, not heavy, good picture/sharpness, good auto focus. I am not confident this lens is for long life. May be I am wrong. Will see. Good value for money for sure.

  • Great Zoom Lens for the Price

    For $300 USD, this is the best zoom lens you can get. The Vibration Compensation is remarkable and image sharpness is great. However, the sharpness is still not as good as a more expensive $1000 zoom lens like the 200-500mm F5.6 Nikkor lens, but that's expected for the price.

  • Excellent telephoto zoom

    This is an excellent telephoto zoom lens for the money. Very fast auto focus and built in vibration control. It is also fairly light weight. The auto focus is quiet.Highly recommended

  • Couldn't be happier

    This is a fantastic addition to my growing lens collection. I think it performs better than my friend's Nikkor equivalent zoom, with greater sharpness and better VC. Though it was listed as a demo, I could see no evidence that it was ever unboxed, so it is in pristine condition. I'm already getting shots of distant birds that my Nikkor 55-200mm was almost useless for. Some complain the VC is a little noisy as it engages and disengages, but since I don't do any video work, I have no complaints. The auto-focus is almost instantaneous, markedly faster and more accurate than the aforementioned Nikkor zoom I have. So, yes, very happy with this lens. The photo accompanying this review is the very first one taken fresh out of the box.
