It's funny when someone posts the same thing that was cleared up just a few posts before. You usually expect it from the noobs, not the established members.

don't waste your money, these ultrazoom, do-it-all lenses are crappy compared to even the kit lens.

Problem is that most of these super range lenses lack in quality. If you want good quality, you need to get separate lenses to cover telephoto and wide angle. For the price, this is an ok lens, but...

I hear lots of n00b talk in this thread.
"The best camera in the world is the one you have with you"

If you think the Tamron 70-300 is heavy, then you've shut down pretty much every tele zoom, with the exception of the APS-C specific entry level models (55-200, 55-250, etc). The truth is, it's...

It would be a real shame to use a cheap super zoom like this on a full frame camera. You would lose all the advantages a full frame sensor can give you by sticking this type of lens in front of it.
