    75–300mm · f/4–5.6

    Overview

    The Tamron AF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 LD Macro is an older telephoto zoom with macro capability. Optically, it offers decent sharpness for its price but suffers from chromatic aberration and softness at the long end, especially wide open. Build quality is plasticky but acceptable for its budget class; handling is typical for a lens of this era. It suits beginners or those on a tight budget seeking a long zoom with macro function, but more demanding users may find its limitations frustrating.
