Tamron now offers a lightweight, compact, high-image-quality telephoto zoom lens with macro capability of 1: 2 that can be used with digital cameras. This new lens is a Di type lens using an optical system with improved multi-coating designed to function with digital SLR cameras as well as film cameras.With this 70-300mm telephoto zoom lens, flipping a macro switch in the focal length range of 180mm to 300mm obtains a maximum magnification ratio of 1: 2 at a minimum focus distance as short as 37.4", enabling close-up shots of flowers, insects, and other objects that normally require the use of a specially designed macro lens. Moreover, this is a zoom lens that casually offers the distant capture and foreshortening effect pleasures of the 300mm ultra-telephoto world.

With the rotating front lens when you focus the use of a polarizing filter is a 3 step process. I like this lens.

I have used this telephoto lens with filters, with teleconverters and it works seamlessly with my Sony SLR. No problems noted. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to supplement their kit lens. It also definitely makes a difference that the stabilization for the Sony is on the body of the camera and not dependent on the lens like Canon or Nikon.

This is a nice telephoto lens. You will need a wide angle lens for general photography. The macro function is a bit ackward since you must be 10' away from anything you are trying to shoot. Overall, I would buy this lens again for my Minolta Maxxum 5D. I put a skylight filter on it for protection.

It works with the A300 and it takes great shots. Don't get your hopes up to high for the Macro setting though. While it works well enough it is not a substitute for a Macro lens.

i love the tamron it works great and for the money it was a great deal. i love the macro feature on it but it took me a awhile to figure out how it works. i am glad i bought this lens and have no regrets. if i had to say something bad about the lens it would be that sometimes its hard to focus in low light and that the directions with the lens are not much. not that you need alot of direction with a lens but it would have been nice to have more on the macro feature.
