- A very simple yet comfortable lens that is suitable for a wide range of applications. The AF speed is very good.
- With an aperture of f7.1 at 300 millimetres, the Tamron doesn't win a flower pot in terms of speed. It is clearly a "fair weather lens".
The (almost) 11x zoom lens is a versatile design that is suitable for photographers looking for subject flexibility for little money. Practical use will decide whether the convenience during transport and the universal application possibilities make up for the compromises in sharpness.
