Latest Review Posted | Tamron Di LD Macro 70-200mm F2.8 Picked this lens up locally on craigslist.
Can't really complain about it too much, given the price - pretty sharp and contrasty overall, but the AF at times can be hit or miss.
It does get more hits than misses in spot focusing mode, but even then, it can have a hard time with fast moving subjects (I like to shoot baseball), and the more light available, the better.
Handling is pretty decent considering its size and plastic build, but it's definitely the biggest lens I own; when attached to my K20 + battery grip, I figure the combo must weigh close to 5 lbs. |
