Pros: Lightness, focal excursion, good stabilizer and price

Cons: In my opinion, the only tropicalization is the rubber gasket in the lens bayonet.

Opinion: Bought in company with a friend,at first used only for holidays, but then I also use it for daily outings and not only. We took it for fun because it found new at 480€ trusting the reviews and we did well! Lightweight and versatile it has become a great travel companion along with the Canon 16-35 and Sigma 50 art, it has a good sharpness up to 200mm and then worse a little. He suffers a little with the chromatic aberrations that are removed without problems in the post. With the R from 250 to 300mm it sometimes struggles with the AF which is not the case using the R5. Slight ticking of the AF engine that can bother in video shooting. They give it for tropicalization but in my opinion only for the gasket that has in the bayonet because I found myself a grain of dust under the front lens. Lately I prefer to leave the RF 70-200 at home to have superior versatility and lightness but when I look for quality, speed and reliability the RF becomes the RE.

Pros: Focal hike, good stabilizer, light, tropicalized, Good construction

Cons: dark, very inaccurate autofocus, mediocre quality

Opinion: I bought this lens well 2 times because I wanted on my 6d a superzoom for the light outputs, and nothing, I can not use this lens that also has valuable points but so many, too many flaws. The focus is really inaccurate, I was wrong a click on 2 in one shot, in AI Servo can not work at all and even the stabilizer has unpredictable behaviors. Personally I was not satisfied at All. Unfortunately the only rival, the canon, weighs double and costs, even used, triple and no one else makes a similar.

Pros: focal length range, weather sealing, excellent focus, fast and quiet, solid construction, good performance in almost all focal

Cons: 300mm notice the difference with the most suitable optical especially in wildlife photographs, but I think is fair given the wide range of focal lengths at the price that offers this goal

Opinion: Since no expert I bought this lens together with the camera body to have a classic all-rounder and be comfortable in many situations without having to deprive certain pictures, and I must say that in almost 9 months of use under different conditions have always been pleased. Of course as specified in against I do not think is appropriate for certain photos where I have a different response with dedicated optics, but in all other I never noticed excessive deficiencies, at least not at my level amatoriale.rnL'aspetto that has most to me pleasantly surprised is the stability that gives immediately placed on the camera body, it seems really to be able to shoot in any situation without a battle, from the most extreme hot to cold, in the rain, he has never given me problems.

Pros: And 'tropical conditions the materials are good seems resistant

Cons: A little dark

Opinion: The goal is to tropical versatile, the focus is unexpectedly fast. It 'a little dark but in return has stabilized and the stabilizer works very well. And 'ideal for traveling with a lens alone and not have the hassle of changing optical continuously. Excellent material, durable and solid. It is possible to obtain excellent results learning to use it also for photographic hunting. Above 200mm loses some sharpness.

Pros: Focal lengths, weather sealing, stabilization, focus, portability

Cons: Less than I expected for a zoom so driven.

Opinion: Perfect for reading outputs, is much sharper than I expected. Good focus and stabilization. My copy does not suffer any of the front it back focus. I think the focus 300 is not effective, but a little lower. For people like me who takes photos for fun and not a fanatic for perfection is fine. Highly recommended

Pros: Wide range of focal lengths. Good yield at all focal lengths to be a handyman, at least up to 200 mm., Excellent bokeh. Weight, size, structure. Stabilizer excellent, fast and quiet. MAF fast and precise. Footprint "over all" also contained 300 mm. Tropicalizzazione.rnUna lens all in one discreet for those not looking for great quality, and it is in situations of reportage that vary continuously too quickly to change goal, and in those difficult when it becomes complicated and risky to change the optics.

Cons: For now it reflected the usual defects of this lens range extremes: some distortion, images gradually softer than 200. Color fringing in some situations. Price (I've heard from many quarters that the beginning of 2015 will be applied to the new official list, going from the current 740 to 990 euro)

Opinion: I was always very skeptical about optical forces of this kind and of this price range. The alternative: the Canon 28-300, much more heavy and cumbersome, on the market today to ca. 2500 euro. The need for a versatile and lightweight lens in addition to my kit Canon excellent, to which I trust I have always been and always with me, pushed me to groped with this latest version in order to provide convenience and quick recovery during my work of reportage, and many of the critical condition of travel: sailing, sandy deserts, wind and dust, 7-12 hour drive to the neck continuously for days; too awkward and weight for 2 camera bodies in the most cases. I expect this' optical, of course, the image quality is not of a high standard; will be studied for a moment to figure out how to make the most and I also expect to have to spend a few minutes in PP., I hope it's worth it: I need versatility and reduce risks of continuous changes of optics. I tested it for now only on a 5D Mk2, a few dozen shots; for usethat I do seems to promise as much as I expected, maybe more.

Pros: impeccable construction, compactness and therefore very contained weight, wide range of focal lengths that make it in fact an "all in one", optical performance of all respect at least up to 200 mm, efficient stabilizer, focus (even in relatively low light) very fast, seamless interaction with the Canon 5D Mk II; oddly, the 1DX the MAF on occasion is a bit distressed and not just in low light and, although rarely, must "give a little help" manual; not detected the presence of significant chromatic aberrations nor of particular phenomena of "flare". A correction of the details on the card, the goal is a full time AF.

Cons: Price not exactly "popular" (paid in the store about 750 euro), understandably to 300 mm, the yield falls, though not dramatically, the absence of true macro capability.

Opinion: Always been an admirer of the wide-range zoom that in my personal view well matched to digital photography for many reasons and having particularly enjoyed the more than good results of the Tamron 16-300 for APS-C I decided "gut" purchasing the latest Tamron 28-300 f / 3.5-6.3 Di VC PZD (being impossible for me the Canon original). Sin'ora I not regretted it: a practical and a "portability" unmatched (important qualities that can sometimes mean being able to bring home the picture) combines optical qualities generally and moderately respectable no details and / or showy qualitative collapses in any parameter. Recommended for amateurs of practicality and compactness lovers!
