Tamron now offers a lightweight, compact, high-image-quality telephoto zoom lens with macro capability of 1:2 that can be used with digital cameras. This new lens is a Di type lens using an optical system with improved multi-coating designed to function with digital SLR cameras as well as film cameras.

With this 70-300mm telephoto zoom lens, flipping a macro switch in the focal length range of 180mm to 300mm obtains a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2 at a minimum focus distance as short as 37.4, enabling close-up shots of flowers, insects, and other objects that normally require the use of a specially designed macro lens. Moreover, this is a zoom lens that casually offers the distant capture and foreshortening effect pleasures of the 300mm ultra-telephoto world.

Great results, if you have paintance.

"I bought a copy of this lens 6 months ago and very happy with it, i bought it for the macro capability is not a true macro 1:1, but it gets the job done, i do a lot of flowers and landscape photography, this lens is slow in focusing and some times searches in my nikon D90, but again is a cheap lens that can produce great results, is a bit on the heavy side but that is expected for the type of lens, and is lighte..."

Stabilization would be nice

"You have to use a tripod with this lens, otherwise it is totally useless. I now understand the noise factor that others mention about the lens, very noisy. Also if you do not have the lens in the right position, it is hard to switch the macro/normal switch back and forth. I am still working on the macro possibilities and have not spent as much time other wise with the lens yet...." Read Full Review »

"Let me first say this review is based strictly on the lens being reviewed. I admit I'd rather have a faster focusing lens with a wider f stop range, however this lens is perfect for the price tag.

"I use this lens for my Nikon D40. I mostly shoot with it outdoors in broad daylight with a fast shutter speed. It also works quite well indoors with a bounce-flash.It doesn't have Vibration Reduction (VR) like its Nikon equivalent, but for what I use it for the VR isn't needed... Even at 300MM. …" Read Full Review »
