I purchased this lens approx. 2 months ago for my Sony 200 DSLR. I researched several lenses from different manufacturers, as well as read many reviews for each. I decided to go with the Tamron because I wanted to have the ability to take close ups, as well as distance shots without having to constantly change my lenses. I still rely on my extra lenses for specific shots, but so far I have been very impressed with the capabilities of this lens. When you manually zoom there is a bit of tension but haven’t been too bothered by it. The switch on the lens itself which allows you to switch over to macro setting is also a nice option. I didn’t see it when I first used the camera until I attempted a macro shot and couldn’t get the look I wanted. Once I switched it over I was very happy with the closeups I was able to get. Like I said, I haven’t had it for very long and tend to use this much more once the weather improves. I have also taken photos of people with this lens and am very happy with the coloring I get in my pictures too! The photos have been very clear and even when fully extended the lens has not been nearly as blurry or distorted as I was fearing. The Tamron was a good choice for me because I am on a budget and not able to put out a lot of money for the higher end models. So far…very happy.
Help answer the question about Maxxum Digital
Digital SLR recommendos under $1000? Under $1500?
I'm looking to buy a digital SLR to augment my film SLR camera. My film camera is a Minolta Maxxum Digital Maxxum 5000i - not high end but not junk. I've got a couple of lenses for the film camera that I'd like to be able to use with the digital as well to avoid buying duplicates (ditto future lenses, I'd like them to go both ways, so to speak.).
Anyone have first-hand recommendations?
