Tamron A061 For Canon

Pros: Small. Convenient. Sharp up to 200mm or so.
Cons: 300mm fuzzy unless severely stopped down. Plastic mount. Sigma macro version is sharper and cheaper.

This review is based on usage with a Canon 300D digital rebel. I've heard bad things about all-in-one zooms like this. But when I got this lens, my first reaction was that it was better than I expected. It's pretty sharp up to 200mm, even wide open, ...

Pros: Great zoom range, good weight, lens cap is included, good finish
Cons: rear lens cap, slightly heavy (but its not to bad)

This is the lens that I keep on my camera most of the time. I use a 350D, so I don't get the benefit of the 28mm. I actually get 45mm which is quite annoying, as most of my work is shooting bands. The lens is heavy, but its not so heavy that it's ...

Pros: Inexpensive, MASSIVE zoom range
Cons: A little soft, light construction, Slow.

This is a very good lens for many uses, if you understand it's limitations. It boasts a HUGE range- 28-300- going from ALMOST wide angle to Telephoto (ok, so on a crop sensor, it's not REALLY that wide...). This makes it an excellent lens for someone ...

Pros: Price. Versatility.
Cons: A little dark to look through. A bit heavy, but not too bad.

I have had one of these lenses for four years. First purchased it for a film SLR and now use it for a Rebel digital XT. It works fine for all purpose photography. No, it is not the best out there and doesn't compare in quality to the more expensive products available. But if you are looking for a good lens and have price in mind then this one is as good as you can get. Have had no problems going all the way to 300mm with the digital camera. Responds reasonably quickly for AF.
