Pros: Affordable, functional
Cons: It doesn't take long to outgrow its performance
Summary: Introduction (a story): I purchased this lens shortly after my start in SLR digital photography. The 18-55mm kit lens which came packaged with my Canon Digital Rebel (300D) simply wasn't cut for anything but close range snapshotting. I went ... read more

Pros: The disengaging autofocus motor in the Canon. clean bright optics
Cons: A loud autofocus. Slower to focus than Canon Ultrasonic lenses.
Summary: Coming from an F1 to the eos line I have found this lens is modest in weight. The metal shoe is a nice touch, that leads to a smooth coupling on the elan. my camera came with a piece of s___ lens, this was my replacement and I have loved the attention ... read more

Pros: Lightweight, Cheap, Easy to use.
Cons: None :)
Summary: About 3 years ago I was given a Canon Rebel 2000 as a Christmas present. At the time, I suggested a "kit" I knew nothing about the camera or lens that came with it (Tamron 28-80mm). As time went on, and I learned more about the camera and photography, ... read more

Pros: Great price, great quality pictures, light weight
Cons: None!
Summary: I purchased this lens along with a Tamron 28-105mm lens on advice from several other Tamron lens owners. I had originally priced Nikkor lenses, but the comparable Nikkor was $269.99, and way over budget for me. Also, come to find out, Tamron manufactures ... read more

Pros: A nice long zoom range which allows you to get really close in.
Cons: After much use, parts feel a little loose, AF rarely works in low light.
Summary: I have been using this lens now for about 8 months and find it to perform the job that I need it too, however, it does not exceed my expectations or really shine in any way. It takes good quality pictures, which I think every lens should do, and it ... read more

Pros: Price, Good Optics, light weight
Cons: With time the unit squeaks

Pros: Well made, adaptable to many SLR camera mounts, good macro function
Cons: None that I've found

macro function; I've obtained some wonderfully ... read more

Pros: cheap, good macro, works great in daylight
Cons: autofocus won't work at low light, not very sharp at the highest zoom level.
Summary: My first SLR camera was canon EOS Rebel 2000. It came with a 28-80 canon zoom lens. After few months I realized that I need a longer zoom, and bought this one. The main reason was the price. Yes, it is the cheapest among its peers. And you get what

Pros: easy to use, has macro/normal setting so you don't have to switch lenses constantly.
Cons: none noted yet
Summary: I'm a novice to photography, but I'm learning more each day. This lens was a gift to me and from the second I attached it to my camera, I've been in love with it. I can take super close-ups, I can finally take botanical pictures without blur. I'm have
