Tamron A08 for Canon

Consumer Rating: Tamron A08 for Canon Reviews and Ratings - Rating 4/5   See 2 reviews  | Write a review at Shopping.com
Information: Product details
Price Range: £811.00 - £855.00 at 3 stores
Manufacturer: Tamron
This is a new zoom lens from Tamron that lets you bring your far away subjects up close while compressing the distance between the main subject and the background for professional- looking results. Even while covering up to a 500mm that enables you to take ultra telephoto shots of subjects further than the eye can see, its design is extremely lightweight and compact. When mounted on an APS-C size digital SLR camera, it provides a focal length equivalent to a 760mm for super ultra telephoto imaging.

Cheap, lightweight, and decently sharp. Autofocus not ideal for wildlife

by  tcchou71 ,  Jun 30, 2008
9 out of 9 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Decently sharp, long, cheap, lightweight.
Cons: Slow autofocus, no focus limiter. Minolta version front-focuses (though Canon is fine)
The Bottom Line: Almost a great lens, due to low weight, low cost, and good sharpness. But focus issues makes it difficult for wildlife photography.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: This is the THIRD time I have submitted this review to Epinions. My first review somehow vanished, only to reappear under, of all places, the Epinions listing for a SanDisk flash drive. I never reviewed that drive, and have no idea how my lens...

Stabilized long lens for < $850!!!

by  tcchou71 ,  Apr 12, 2006
16 out of 16 people found this review helpful.
Pros: Light, long, relatively cheap and sharp.
Cons: No focus limiter. Tendency to front-focus. Soft, with purple fringing at 500mm.
The Bottom Line: Low weight and antishake make this a great long lens for hand-held shots. But I wish it had an autofocus limiter to help with flying birds.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Epinions doesn't allow embedded images, which is a shame for camera/lens reviews. Hence, I've posted some images taken with this lens here:
