Tamron SP 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 Di VC USD

Sport photos shot with Tamron

• very usable telephoto zoom lens for outdoor use when there is plenty of light
• in my use from 6/2014 to current date
• estimated retail price 340 EUR

• reasonably priced
• really sharp when stopped down to f/8.0
• focusing is quite fast, faster than with typical budget zooms but slower than with my speediest primes
• not too heavy - I can shoot with this for hours without feeling any fatigue
• nice image stabilization

• heavy vignetting on a full frame body to the extend that the evaluative exposure mode overexposures the center
• must be stopped down to increase sharpness and to fight the vignetting making this lens outdoors only
