Tamron AF 75-300mm f/4. 0-5. 6 LD for Konica Minolta and Sony Digital SLR Cameras
Popularity: unranked [?]
I just bought mine today at Kenmore Camera, in Kenmore, Wa. They said it is the most popular zoom lens that they sell. I was initially looking for a lense that is good for portraits and they directed me to the Tamron AF 75-300mm 4-5. 6 LD with Hood (Black). They showed me how it works and it really is cool how it blurs the background so that the subject stands out beautifully. Picture taking of people has never been easier because you don’t have to worry about the background, hardly at all. You can have a pile of laundry in the background and it wont make much of a difference. . . . It is awesome. I can’t wait to develop my first roll. They also strongly suggested that I get the UV filter to go with as it magnifies the light and can seriously damage your eyes over time. I of course did, by the way. I highy recommend this lens.

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.

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

The best lens for the price – a very sharp picture! I’ve used it for a couple of months, and am extremely happy with it.
