Excellent quality lens, reasonably priced!

Date of Review:  Jun 15, 2005
The Bottom Line: If you are considering this lens...GET IT! You won't be disappointed!
Review: I purchased this lens a couple of months back having read lots of reviews and looked through literally hundreds of shots others had done with this lens. All I can say is that I have not been disappointed!!!!I was unhappy with the quality of the EF-S...

Excellent price for an Excellent Product

Date of Review:  Feb 12, 2005
The Bottom Line: Hard to beat this lens that I found for $90 new on ebay. I've stopped searching for lenses after using this!
Review:

I purchased this lens three months ago, just before thanksgiving, as I knew i'd be taking lots of photos for the holidays. I have a Canon EOS rebel digital with the stock lens, and was never very happy with it's image quality. After doing...

Excellent Optics at Bargain price

Date of Review:  Apr 3, 2004
The Bottom Line: Excellent lens at a bargain price.
Review: I purchased this lens for my Canon 10D camera after looking at a number of other options including the Canon 28-135 ISM (~$400), the Canon 24-85 (~$300), and the Canon 24-70L (~$1200). The reviews on the Tamron lens were great, and the price was...

Don't want to dump a grand on Nikon's 2.8zoom... Tamron has a great alternative

Date of Review:  Apr 14, 2004
The Bottom Line: Good buy
Review: The Tamron 28-75 XR AF is one of my favorite lenses. It's hard to beat the quality, speed and price compared to any other lens. Maybe my 50mm 1.4 is better, but not by much.

- Suited for multitasking
I've used it for about 6 weeks now...

Best lens in this focal length at any price

Date of Review:  Dec 27, 2004
The Bottom Line: A very compact, light, extremely sharp, excellent "Bokeh", fabulous contrast and reasonably priced lens.
Review: As a professional Fashion/Beauty and Advertising photographer of over twenty years, my demands for optical excellence are quite stringent. I recently used this lens for a fashion editorial shoot and can say that this lens is wonderful. Fast and...

Good Lens for this money

Date of Review:  Mar 18, 2005
Review: I owe this lens almost for a year.
Good lens as everyday use lens. For portraits - still good, but, for example Sigma 105mm F2.8 Macro is better.
Despite of the plastic body it fills solid. Not so solid as Canon L series lens, but for $360...

Tamron 28-75mm 2.8 XR AF VS Canon 24-70mm 2.8L

Date of Review:  Jan 11, 2006
Review: I just tested both zooms side by side on the same camera body and I have to say that anyone who thinks the Tamron rates with the Canon must be smoking crack.
Observations:
1. The Canon is brighter when set to the same stop, which indicates...

Held up wonderfully against the 24-70L test-off

Date of Review:  Oct 12, 2004
Review: I spent 2 hours in my camera shop testing and comparing this lens with the Canon 24-70L. I honestly expected the Canon to be much better in all areas. I was surprised to discover that the Tamron held it's own in the areas that I personally consider...

Excellent in all areas!

Date of Review:  Jun 27, 2004
Review: I purchased this lens for my Canon Digital Rebel. I have nothing but great things to say about this lens, and if you are considering it for purchase, I would definitely recommend it.

The lens weighs very little, it's compact, and delivers...

Nice lens at nice price

Date of Review:  Dec 3, 2004
Review: I was looking for a portrait zoom for my Canon 300D. Standard zooms from 24/28 up to 70/75mm make a nice portrait lens on 300D (with 1.6 crop factor).

I own 50/1.8 (80mm on 300d) and 35/2 (56mm on 300d) primes, but they are not suitable...
