Cons:The button to lock the zoom to 70mm is missing, not stabilized.
Opinion:It is a lightweight lens, essential if you want to carry around little weight (with the A7C 1 kg total). Excellent for the landscape, pleasant blurred. If you walk with the camera around your neck the zoom extends by force of gravity, the lock button would have been comfortable. However, for that weight I can not complain about anything.
Opinion:My favorite super zoom lens, tropicalized and not excessively heavy or bulky (15cm) the plasticous feeling is not a problem for me, the lens is precise and fast even on old machines like mine, a7ii .... obviously it needs a camera body with stabilization that comes into play very willingly at very high focal lengths such as the 300 It should be used with a good amount of light, unfortunately as soon as the brightness drops you rediscover all the limits of a lens so dark, but for me remains the only defect other lenses cost crazy figures and for what I do this lens is fine
Pros:Lightweight, functional lens performing enough for my needs.
Cons:Not very bright.
Opinion:I bought it for its lightness, price, and because I do not use it continuously. I have a Nikon z7ii and I mainly take landscape photos and from this point of view I am well covered with a Nikon z 14-30 and a Nikon z 24-120, two excellent very valid and performing lenses. I needed a longer lens in case I needed it. the nikon z 70 200 and 100 400 are unapproachable for me for their price circus 3000 euros and for the weight, therefore, having already had on the D850 and D750 Tamron lenses and having found myself well I opted for this 70 300, which although not stabilized, uses the stabilizer of the sensor of the Z7ii.Da first shots seems very valid for the type of need I have, I recognize and limits and defects, but at the moment I am satisfied with it and it corresponds to what I was looking for.
Opinion:Good economic lens lightweight, compact and versatile . Great for those who are very attentive to weight, bulk and price. Unusable at full excursion for non-stabilized bodies, already on a7iv for videos or long exposure shots you feel the lack of optical stabilization, for everything else instead it is perfect.
Opinion:The Tamron 70/300 is the perfect lens, in my opinion, for the kind of photos I like to take and felt the need for. I waited a long time before choosing it and I think I made the right choice. I must say that my first choice was the Sigma 100/400 but then the price, size and weight made me start looking at the Tamron with more insistence. As soon as I tried the Tamron, I immediately realized that I had made the right choice, because it has the qualities I wanted, that is, lightness and compactness that allow you to walk comfortably, and have photos of excellent quality in my opinion. The only thing that worried me was the lack of the stabilizer, but, mounting the lens on my Sony a7II stabilized even at 300 mm you can photograph quietly. In conclusion, therefore, the Tamron is an excellent lens with a truly excellent price quality suitable for all those who seek in particular lightness and compactness at a truly competitive price.
Cons:Upgrading FW only through the purchase of a dock (if I understand correctly)
Opinion:I waited for it to drop in price and took it to just over 400€ with European guarantee. Lightweight lens (plastic but good quality), brightness not sensational, but with ultraluminous lenses you can navigate on very different sizes (and very different prices). Not generally doing avifauna, but details of landscapes and architectures, the large apertures of diaphragm are not important to me, so I'm fine. At 300 mm it stretches a lot, practically doubles the length, but does not give the impression of "disassembling". It has no buttons and controls, so the focus settings must be done from the machine menu. I remember that the lens is not equipped with stabilizer, but uses (if it exists) that of the machine, but to demand a stabilized optics at this price would seem to me really too much. The focus is quick, quiet and precise, without hesitation. I have not yet done the usual tests at all the diaphragms, but I only tried it in the field: it seemed sharp in all situations, with a nice saturation of colors. Tested on Sony A7II. The only negative note is the firmware update, which I understand is only possible by purchasing a dock station. I already have that Samyang, I wouldn't want to make the collection. But is it possible that you can not provide a usb port on the lens, or the possibility of updating from the machine, as it happens with native optics?
Opinion:It is a good goal, well designed and realized, despite the use of plastic material. The low brightness and the absence of stabilization are the prices to pay to have a compact and light goal. It already has excellent full-aperture performance, so an f/6.3 at 300 mm allows good shots in most light conditions. I use it with Sony a7r2 and a6000. With the stabilized sensor does not make you feel the lack of stabilization. Good autofocus speed. Slight loss of sharpness at the edges at the extreme focal points. If you want a pushed zoom, light and versatile, it is a good solution.
