Summary: Nice lens - decent macro
Comment: This lens was the perfect addition to my camera for my 16 day African safari into Kruger National Park. All of my images turned out great and I used another filter which made the lighting incredible. Nice macro options too. Of course, I had fabulous subject matter, so I would have been tickled with a Brownie, but for the money, this lens does not dissappoint!

Summary: Tamron 28-300 VC
Comment: The Tamron 28-300mm VC lens is great. I have used it in many different situation and have not had any problems. I had the Tamron 28-300 without the vibration compensation and that was a great len the VC just made it a little better.

Summary: High Quality General Purpose Lens
Comment: When I purchased this Tamron Lens a Month ago, reviews were very scarce. I took a chance and was surprised at the sharp focus of this all purpose lens. The action of the zoom is fast, the image is crisp. It is very versatile. Two things that I found that I think would be useful. It has soft focus at the edge below f8 and you really have to remember to lock the lens. It can be agrivating to find the Lens Extended all the time due to gravity. A future addition would be to allow the lens to lock in several positions like 28mm, 50mm, and 85mm. I took several vertical shots and had great results(another review said that this was a problem).
I was happy to see that this lens performs well doing macro work as well even though it is not a dedicated macro lens. I was using two lenses, a Tamron 28-75 f2.8 and a Canon 70-300 is usm to do what this one now does for me. Plus neither of those lenses did macro!

Summary: OK horizontal, but try vertical...
Comment: This is a nice lens for regular photography that is done on mostly a horizontal plane. I do a lot of product photography and document photography from a tripod with the camera pointed down at 45 degrees or more. The weight of the lens extends the focal length (zoom) at these angles. The lock mechanism only locks the lens at 28mm. It will not lock the lens at any other focal length. I'm taking this one back for a lens that will lock the focal length at any distance.

Summary: Excelent lens, poor QC
Comment: When I got this lens, it came from the factory misaligned; there was poor chromatic distortion, and I was an unhappy camper.
A Fedex send-off and a few weeks later, the lens returns from Tamron USA.
It's a great lens, once it works. The OS is magical; you could use it in the middle of an epileptic fit. The chromatic distortion is very acceptable, and easily compensated for in Adobe Raw (provided, of course, the lens is within spec).
A great lens overall, but do not hesitate to send it in if you notice any quality issues, especially near the end of the zoom range.
