"FANTASTIC lens, Well worth the money!" 2010-02-06
By Antonio Sanchez (Virginia)
Well I finally made the jump and purchased this lens. It has met my expectations though I can see how I probably would not prefer this lens for high speed sports shooting! However I feel it will serve my purpose for photo shoots, family photos and possibly wedding photos. All in all I am very satisfied with the optics, build and weight of this lens. I currently own the Tokina ATX 80-200 f2.8 lens which is really heavy, the Tamron lens is a lot lighter.

"Durable" 2010-02-01
By T. Seling
I recently bought this lens and was very pleased with the images it produced.

What has impressed me most is due to my own fault the lens became dislodged from the camera and fell to the floor of a concert venue.

Needless to say after hearing the thud, I thought the lens was going to be shot.

I was wrong...still works fine. Whew.

"Nice lens but I returned it." 2010-01-31
By A. Chin
This is a nice lens. No quality issues, but I returned it because the autofocus is much slower than an OEM Canon lens. Plus, no image stabilization. But for the price, you can't beat it.

I took pictures of my son's graduation and they came out fantastic. For distance low light applications I would recommend it.

"Good for soccer moms, GREAT for indoor (surprisingly!)" 2009-11-15
By Candace Beauchamp (Austin, TX)
I purchased this lens a year or two ago for my Rebel XTI because I wanted something that would fill in that small gap between my 18-55 and 70-300, I sometimes wanted something but neither lens would do. This fits the bill pretty well. I originally got this for those times when I was watching my kids play soccer and they were too close to me to use the 70-300. It does just okay for this. The auto focus can be a bit slower than my others so you have to allow for that. It's also a little bit more noisy, but eh. Doesn't matter.

What I use this lens for the most, however, is indoor shots. I am no where near a pro photographer. I like to play and my subjects are usually my children (who run away if they seem with a camera). So, I tend to sit back and use zoom a lot to get what I want. This lens spectrum covers well in an indoor setting and the quality of the detail is amazing for the price I paid. I'd recommend for folks to pick this one up - and give the Tamron brand a chance. I was worried at first because I have a CANON camera that I'd only use CANON lenses, but this is a fabulous lens for what we use it for.

"Tamron AF 55-200mm for Canon DSLR" 2009-11-07
By pwrplayhockey (Columbus, OH, USA)
I own a Canon Digital Rebel XT 8MP, and I've had it for 3 1/2 years. I thought it's time to get a 2nd lens, since I have a 300mm lens for my 35mm Rebel, but not for my Digital Rebel.

I figured I'd give this one a chance, due to the price and features. I think this slightly smaller lens is a better choice, for me, because of the smaller size. And, unlike a 35mm camera, it's a lot easier to crop digital pictures.

I am pleased with the lens. I believe the picture quality is exactly what I expected or better. I do think it's a little slow when it's far out of focus, but it's quick enough when it's just a little out of focus. I don't plan on using the lens everyday, but for the money and features, it's worth it.

"Good Lens for a Cheap Price" 2009-01-01
By Jan Ulrich (Lo Angeles, CA)
I originally bought this lens in order to have a zoom along with my 18-55mm kit lens for my Rebel Xti. Overall the build quality of this lens is very nice. It comes with a lens hood which is great because Canon usually charges you around $30 extra dollars for a lens hood. The only bad thing about this lens is the autofocus speed. I have often tried to use this lens for sports photography and have really been disappointed. It often takes a while for the lens to focus on hat you want it to. In low light the autofocus is completely unusable. Sometimes at the last second the camera will focus on something else and all I get are some blurry action shots with the background in focus and the event completely blurry. Overall I would recommend this lens for a person that wants to increase their lens capabilities to a mid-range zoom and whose budget is somewhat lower. If you're really looking for a lens more suited for sports photography you're not going to find anything at such a low price. But the price you pay an the quality you get is impressive. This was my first experience with Tamron and I will continue to buy their products in the future.

"great quality for not big bucks" 2007-09-08
By L. Perez (PVR, Mexico)
I am just a debutant photo amateur but I was looking for a not pricy telephoto zoom mainly for portraits and bumped into this option. Basically all critiques are good, nice image quality, good color rendering the only downside is the slow and noisy AF. It is a real good deal for a beginner on a budget.
