  • Suburb Zoom at the price point
I absolutely love this lens. It is very powerful and works exceptionally well with my Sony a 6700. My camera has a three-quarter cmos so it effectively turns my 300 mm lens into a 450 allowing me to get great close-ups of the moon. The auto focus works fantastic. and the auto focus is very fast. I find the sharpness to be very good. It’s pretty portable as it’s not that heavy though it is quite long when fully zoomed. Not the most compact size but you get 300 mm. I find it to have great versatility as I’ve used it for photographing sailboat, the moon rodeo and all my pictures have come out great. At this price point, it is absolutely superb. ... show more

  • Great lens for the price and picture quality
This lens is my first 300mm for my Sony Camera gear. It's starting to become my go-to lens, serving me well in wildlife photography and enabling some stunning panoramic shots. The best part? It offers impressive sharpness, lightweight design, great autofocus, full-frame compatibility, and all this at an affordable price. However, it's fair to mention the drawbacks such as no image stabilization and no handy lock switch to prevent lens creep. But these challenges can be managed with a tripod, holding the camera steady, or if your camera supports in-body stabilization. So, should you consider this lens? I think so but that does depend on your needs. The Images I've selected have become my favorites as of now. All the image you see was taken on my Sony zv-e10, which happens to be a cropped sensor camera. ----UPDATE Feb 28, 2024---- Since my original review, I have purchased a Sony A7iii full-frame camera with in-camera stabilization. Using the Tamron lens with a camera that uses stabilization does make a world of difference. The lens barely shakes even at 300mm unlike when it's on my Sony zv-e10. Now I have noticed that since I'm using the lens in a full-frame sensor I see more of a lens curve in my images. But if you use Adobe Lightroom it can easily correct it. Still highly recommend this lens. ——Update July 7th, 2024—— Since my last update in February, I can confidently say that this Tamron lens has become my daily driver when using my full-frame camera. Its versatility continues to amaze me, handling everything from fast-moving wildlife to delicate flower photography with ease. For the price, and considering it’s a full-frame lens, it has transformed my photography in ways I couldn’t have imagined. I’ve added some new photos to my review to showcase its capabilities. As mentioned before, you’ll need to use your editing software to enable lens corrections, but this really depends on the image you’re taking. After using this lens for 7 months, I can attest that it’s been a worthwhile investment. ... show more

  • Well worth it!
So I bought this lens as a entry to wildlife photography I went on a hike with my A6000 and this lens accomplished wonders. I struggled to get bird photos due to the density of the treeline on the trails but it is capable of pretty awesome things. The no OSS is kind of a bumber for those without IBIS but when I upgrade my camera body eventually it wont be too much of a bother for me. Though I'm very happy with the results of this lens. Would recommend! Photos are from the 300mm length on my morning hike today. Very portable and lightweight, the sharpness is there in the F6-F11 range the Lens is compatible with APSC cameras so youll be getting that 450mm range acting like a 300mm on a crop sensor like my A6000. I didn't notice issues with autofocus felt pretty quick it would get lost and take a moment depending on distance of a macro target though. ... show more

  • Great Value Telephoto Lens for Beginners - Perfect for Plane Spotting
I’m a beginner photographer and still have a lot to learn, but I picked up this lens because my son wants to be a pilot, and we’re constantly at airports watching planes. For that purpose, it’s been a lot of fun to use. Depending on where we’re standing, sometimes the 300mm reach can feel just a bit short, but with a little practice I’ve found ways to work around it. What I really appreciate is how lightweight and portable this lens is - it’s easy to carry around all day, and the autofocus is quiet and reliable. Image quality is sharp and clean, especially in good lighting, though like most lenses at this price point, low-light shooting requires some adjustment (higher ISO or a tripod). I think it’s worth mentioning that this was the most affordable option I could find with this level of zoom for Sony mirrorless. For anyone who wants reach without spending thousands, it’s a fantastic value. The only downside for me was that the first lens I received actually had a small hair inside the lens. I returned it, and I’m waiting on a replacement now. Hopefully that was just a one-off quality control issue. Overall, if you’re new to photography or just want a budget-friendly telephoto for things like plane spotting, wildlife, or outdoor events, this is an excellent choice. ... show more

  • Unbeatable for the Price - High Quality and Lightweight
This lens is an absolute steal for anyone looking for a versatile telephoto option that doesn’t break the bank. Key Highlights: -Lightweight and Compact: For a 70-300mm telephoto, it’s incredibly portable, making it perfect for outdoor shoots, wildlife photography, or simply carrying around all day without feeling weighed down. -Sharp Image Quality: The image quality is excellent, especially in good lighting conditions. Even at full zoom (300mm), the details remain sharp and clear. I’ve used this lens for wildlife photography, sports, and even some portraits, and it performs beautifully across the board. -Fast and Accurate Autofocus: The autofocus is snappy and reliable, even when tracking moving subjects. Paired with my Sony Alpha, the lens focuses quickly and consistently, whether I’m shooting stills or video. -Great Build Quality: While lightweight, the build quality doesn’t feel cheap. It’s solid and well-designed, with a comfortable grip and smooth zoom ring. -Budget-Friendly: For the price, this lens delivers exceptional value. You’re getting a versatile focal range, great optics, and a lens that’s specifically designed for mirrorless cameras—all without the premium price tag. Things to Note: -Like many telephoto lenses in this price range, it performs best in well-lit conditions. Low-light performance is decent but benefits from some post-processing or the use of a tripod. -It’s not weather-sealed, so be mindful when shooting in extreme conditions. Final Thoughts: If you’re looking for an affordable telephoto zoom lens that’s easy to use, delivers sharp images, and is perfect for mirrorless systems, this lens is a no-brainer. It’s an excellent lens for beginners and enthusiasts alike, offering a great balance of quality, portability, and performance. Highly recommend it for anyone on a budget who doesn’t want to compromise on quality! ... show more

  • Can the Tamron 70-300 RXD compete with Sony 100-400 at 20% the cost?
It’s hard to fault the excellent Sony 100-400 but I’m at times reluctant to take a 3 lb. lens on the road or hike long back country treks with it. I’ve been seeking a lighter long tele zoom option and think I may have found a surprise winner, the Tamron 70-300 f4.5-6.3. At first I did not consider it because conventional wisdom tells us to NEVER consider any long glass without Image Stabilization (IS). I’m a longtime pro and am used to shooting major sporting events with the best long glass including 300 f2.8, 400 f2.8, 500f 4, etc. Thus, I’m picky for only the sharpest telephotos yet switched to Sony to lighten the load. (See photo of its tiny size compared with Sony and Sigma lenses.) Let’s talk about this surprising Tamron’s pros and cons: The Tamron 70-180 is the first non-Nikon, Canon or Sony lens I’ve ever used in a 30 year career and have been blown away by it. The missing IS has been little concern since it’s easy to handle and is a constant f2.8, allowing higher shutter speeds in low light. It’s easy for a pro to at first dismiss the new under $500 Tamron 70-300 but it is indeed truly sharp unless you pixel peep the corners. For long glass, corner sharpness is of less concern for many of us although that would be a deal killer in a wide angle lens. Before taking a flyer on this Tamron, I first auditioned the Sony 70-350, fully intending to be happy with the compromise of having to use it in APS-C mode, yielding files of 26.2MP on my A7R4 that normally outputs 61MP. The copy I received wasn’t as sharp as I’d hoped. Of course, it is truly hard to compete with the rockin’ yet $2,500 Sony 100-400. I’d heard good things about the 70-350 with its quick linear motor, etc., that I probably expected too much and was a bit underwhelmed upon first testing it. Since I love my Tamron 70-180 I thought I’d give this full frame Tamron a dark-horse try at joining my stable of a dozen lenses, mostly Sony’s except for the 70-180, the Tamron 28-75 f2.8 and the also stellar Sigma 105mm f2.8 macro. Bottom line: This 70-300 Tamron is darned impressive and uber sharp! I’m going to learn to work around its one key disadvantage of no Image Stabilization. Why own both the 100-400 and this Tamron? Simply said: Weight. The Sony is a well-balanced and manageable three pounds. Yet, the Tamron is a light lil’ baby at a mere 19 ounces and 20% the cost! If I choose APS-C mode this lens gives me 105-450mm reach, and is still sharp. At the long end, the Sony allows max f5.6 while this Tamron shoots 1/3 stop slower at 6.3. It focuses fast yet is no f-stop speed demon and even with the A7R4 in-body IS stabilization, in early use I am getting more perfect keepers at 1/500 than I do at 1/320 or 1/250. If light becomes an issue, my Tamron 70-180 shoots as long as 270mm at f2.8 in APS-C. I’m happily keeping the hard-to-fault Sony 100-400 but this Tamron 70-300 delivers truly impressive pro-worthy images, too, if you don’t mind upping ISO slightly when lighting conditions get a bit more challenging. ... show more
