Small and light lens; bright and clear images [Posted on 2006-11-21]
This lens measures up to my expectations. It is more expensive than some other lenses with similar zoom, but is more compact and produces really excellent photographs. It is my favorite all-around lens.
Owing to the built-in antishake technology in the Sony Alpha 100, the lens can be zoomed to 300mm without a tripod in normal lighting.
I do not plan to use this on a 35mm film camera (my old Minolta uses a different bayonet mount) but its nice to know it can be used on one.

works well with my Sony SLR Digicam... wish it was a bit more wide angle though.
BUYERS BEWARE [Posted on 2007-11-27]
Once again, another cheap plastic lens from Tamron, including the PLASTIC LENS MOUNT! Save your money and buy the 18-250mm lens for another 100 bucks. You lose a whopping 50mm at the long end, but the optics and build are superior plus a gain on the short end.
If you don't want to spend that much then consider the Sigma 28-300mm, unfortunatly the optics are a bit less than the Tamron 28-300mm, but the build quality is definitely superior.

Light weight compact lens with a huge range of focal lengths. This has been my everyday lens for several years and it's never had a problem.
Disappointed [Posted on 2009-01-08]
I recently purchased this lens after realizing I need an all in one for an event coming up. After hooking it up on a Sony Alpha 100 I was pretty disappointed, took about 20 test shots and everything seemed fine while viewing them on the computer until I looked at the actual size. Ghosting all over the images, blades of grass blurred and lost quite a bit of detail. Further tests all got the same result, slowing down and speeding up the shutter didn't help. Just to make sure my camera hadn't just broken I put on a 70-210mm Minolta lens and experienced none of that blurriness associated with the Tamron.
