📷 Tamron SP AF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 Di USD (A005) Lens for Minolta A Review

I’ve been twisting this lens back and forth for several days, and for now, vague urges of disappointment begin. I was seduced by the price, but as folk wisdom says - cheap and good = nonsense. posted three pictures without processing, who cares, FR 100, 130 and 300, removed from tripod - With its pros: so far, probably, only the price and good build quality, plus the ability to adjust the sharpness manually without switching the AF / MF mode. Well, of course, for which he took it - an…

It fills the niche of mid-range zoom lenses, Sony has nothing like it in this respect up to 15tr. An order of magnitude better than similar lenses from sony and sigma, head and shoulders above tamron af 70-300 macro. I bought a singlecompy in dns-shop for 15500, I did not choose from similar ones, since nothing like this can be found for 15tr. This is the 2nd successful lens of this brand (the first 17-50 f2.8). The picture pleases, I want to try it on moving objects, as I test it, I will add a

My main occupation is reportage filming of seminars, round tables, public speeches and lectures, often accompanied by video filming. Therefore, photography itself should be made from a decent distance and with a shutter speed of no more than 1/100 under artificial lighting without a flash. The lens copes with the tasks set without eating the entire available budget. The focusing issues that made it difficult to live in crop disappear on the full-frame 5d mk2, although autofocus is by no means…

Despite the above shortcomings, I am satisfied with the lens, my opportunities for photography have expanded. The cost of the lens is quite suitable (16500r). Its pros: The lens is sharp, especially at the short end. HA minimal. Bokeh suits me just fine. Portraits come out great, and the background is beautifully blurred. Allows you not to draw attention when shooting in street-photo mode. Its size inspires confidence on the part of the photographed. Has some cons When shooting, the lens hood…

I purchased this lens to replace the whale 75-300 that came with the Sony A200. Positive feelings from handling glass arise immediately from the moment of purchase (price) until the moment you start working with it (speed, noiselessness, clarity). Great inexpensive TV. Any camera bundled with it turns into a powerful weapon for photography. Focusing speed is impressive. Quiet, light enough, but it's better to use a tripod. at 300 it’s difficult to hold in your hands when focusing.

I bought it in August 11, I changed it three times (how long I stood in line for a separate topic for reviewing the store), as a result, I took the last copy to the service due to the lack of sharpness. The sharpness of the resulting image is unacceptable at all focal lengths over 90mm, it turns out that this is a healthy heavy lens with working focal lengths of 70-90 without a stabilizer and for more than $500, but you can forget about 90-300, because. detailing is comparable to zooming in…

While choosing re-read all the reviews several times. Surprised by the number of conflicting opinions. This helped to avoid the error. The lens was ordered three times, two of them were rejected. The first copy was just terrible. At the long end, I could not catch the focus even in the light, and even at the short end there were problems. But the third one completely satisfied me. My advice - check carefully before buying!

To begin with, I would like to note the quality of workmanship, indeed everything is done to the highest standard. Optically, this glass cannot but please with its image, especially at focal lengths of 70-200mm, then the resolution decreases slightly. The contrast and pattern are top notch. Bokeh up to 135mm is also at a height, then, with increasing focal length, it begins to distort. So, at 135mm, excellent half-length portraits are obtained, and facial portraits are generally a fairy tale…

Nice lens. High-quality, comfortable, sharp from an open aperture. Sharpness at 300mm is slightly weaker, but very good. Fast, silent and accurate autofocus. At the long end, it can sometimes scour if there are a lot of small parts, twigs, etc. nearby. The focus easily catches a flying bird. The portraits are just wonderful. Due to the small depth of field, you can sharpen what you need, almost like on a fast fix. In general, only positive emotions, I recommend it to everyone. Camera A57.

One of the underrated Tamron lenses. I heard various complaints about this version for Nikon and Kenon, where sharpness suffered. In the same version, there is no stabilizer and, therefore, the sharpness may not have suffered. I also heard that on different FRs you need to set a different correction for phase focusing, then it will be sharp. But if you use it on mirrorless cameras, then they don’t need it, which again solves issues with sharpness. My point is that this is the most affordable…
