This is the first Tamron lens I have bought so there is always that hesitation. I have the Canon 28-300mm which I do use a lot but it is so heavy it is not always convenient. I was looking for a decent walk around lens that was light weight and compact to use for more casual shooting.

I have the 28-300 Canon L. I am a amateur so build quality is not of huge importance even though the tamrons is good.Image quality is very close to the same as far as I can tell. Weight and size are a huge advantage.

A sharp, well built lens; much better than the one it replaces. I use this lens on a Canon 6D and I am extremely happy with its performance.

This lens is lighter and cheaper than the alternatives and you don't compromise much in quality. You _can_ take tack-sharp shots under the right conditions. A bit soft at 300 but really really impressed with the 28 to 200 range. Can you get a better 28 Yes Can you get a better 200

Very please with the results I am getting with this lens on my Eos 6d. Covers over 95% of my needs when travelling.

Good value for money. As sharp as the original similar canon lens an a fraction of its weight along with a 4 year warranty!

Great addition to my lense collection

Consistent Output; Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus

Used for Birding. Camëra manufacturers lens to cover 600 mm six times more expensive.

Great Picture Quality

Bulky

My most handy walk-around lens for my A99. ?… day-light lens. Fast enough.

Fantastic range; Light and small; Sharp enough

Some vignetting; Corner sharpness wide open
