I have taken this in my camera bag for an all day nature walk i had planed for the last few weeks. The weight of the lens was unnoticeable whilst carrying the bag for most of the day. The ease at which it fits onto the camera body really helps if you want to get that lovely shot of some form of wildlife you have spent time sneaking up on.

This is a great lens and will suite most amateur photographers needs. The detail and sharpness even at full zoom is fantastic even when hand held. The lens itself is light but feels very ruggedly built and is constructed of high quality glass which you would normally only find in more expensive lenses.

It comes complete with a close up setting which although some would say it is not true macro it does give you the option to get a close up shot. Which is more than good enough for what i need.

There is no vignetting that can happen with some lenses even when using flash. I have been putting this lens through its paces for the last month or and and it has opened up a whole new dimension to my photographs. I have tried but i can not find any downside to the lens at all.
When it is on the camera and in use you just have to remember that like most zoom lenses any camera shake will become more noticeable, so you need to be using a faster shutter speed than what you may normally use with a standard lens.
The lens is ideal for most kinds of photography and it is an ideal size zoom lens to have in your camera bag for all occasions. Iy gives good results for a very reasonable price. I am very happy with the resukts it has given me and i would recommend this to anyone. This review also appears on dooyoo

Manufacturer's product description
Make your pictures better than ever, with a lens that offers both long telephoto and macro capability Tamron has redesigned its lightweight, compact AF70-300mm F/4-5.6 telephoto zoom lens that already had a great reputation for being easy to use. The result? A Di series lens that now goes equally well with digital SLRs and 35mm film cameras. This flexible lens delivers digital photography up to a super-telephoto 465mm equivalent. Use it to zoom in ultra close, even for action shots of moving subjects such as sports participants or children running and playing.Just flip the macro switch between the focal lengths of 180mm and 300mm, and you can enjoy true macro photography with a telephoto effect giving a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2. The minimum focus distance is 1.5m from the subject in normal shooting ranges (Max. Mag. Ratio 1:3.9), but when you flip the macro switch, you can get as close as 95cm. And an added bonus - the nine-blade circular diaphragm provides beautiful soft-focus imagery for a professional result. Showcase all your photographic talent with close-up shots of small flowers and insects in parks or in the wild, or any other beautiful small object you discover.Tamron's "Internal Surface Coatings" and the multiple-layer coating technology on ordinary elements reduce ghosting and flare that happens due to reflections that can occur when light enters the lens as well as reflections caused by the imager itself. The strictest quality control standards were also applied to increase resolution performance and prevent flare due to aberrations, resulting in a telephoto zoom lens ideal for photography with digital SLR cameras. This is the lens you can use with confidence.
