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

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 ultrasonic motor + extended 5-year warranty upon registration on the site. Has cons: - Sonya's stub is not enough to hold a full trunk, walks in his hands with a shake, even with a tripod trembles. The stub holds perfectly at 70mm, and probably more or less confidently up to 150-200mm, then the dance of St. Vitus. - at long distances it smears very strongly in sharpness, it is practically impossible to achieve a very sharp picture, and this, after Sonya's regular ultrasound 16-50 (which practically NEVER smears), was very sad. - very often stupid with autofocus, especially at short distances (2-3m) or on complex shadows, twigs, etc. - well, in +/- a healthy hood, if worn the other way around (not in the working position), then the FR ring cannot be twisted, the hood completely closes it. I adapted just to pull the hood back and forth, maybe it’s not good, but there’s no other way, and I’m not ready to keep a separate place in my bag for the hood :)
