    Overview

    The Tamron SP 70-300mm F/4-5.6 Di USD offers good center sharpness comparable to Canon/Nikon equivalents, with a slight edge in corner sharpness at 300mm. It features effective VC stabilization and fast, quiet USD autofocus. Build quality is solid with a metal mount, though the zoom ring feels plasticky. Distortion and chromatic aberration are well controlled. The lens suits enthusiasts seeking an affordable, stabilized telephoto zoom for general use, but the variable aperture limits low-light action.
