Tamron AF 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di LD VC Macro Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras
This is a nice lens for regular photography that is done on mostly a horizontal plane. I do a lot of product photography and document photography from a tripod with the camera pointed down at 45 degrees or more. The weight of the lens extends the focal length (zoom) at these angles. The lock mechanism only locks the lens at 28mm. It will not lock the lens at any other focal length. I’m taking this one back for a lens that will lock the focal length at any distance.

The more I compare photos taken with this lens to photos taken with others, the more I realize how poor it really is. The lack of clarity is pretty much completely unacceptable past about 200mm. The vibration compensation doesn’t seem to help. And the macro mode is essentially unusable outside the studio due to the incompatibility with ring flashes. This is an Edsel of lenses: trying to be all things to all people and ending up being nothing to no one. I should have bought a 300mm prime instead, or perhaps a lens with less range.

I admit, we are not the most experienced photographers. We had previously been using a 15mm-28mm wide lens (mostly indoor shooting), and were getting very blurry images, to the point we thought there might be something wrong with our EOS 5D and/or lens. We have always been big fans of the our Canon G6, and went back to it, sad that we had paid so much for a camera and lens that were not working for us.
This lens changed all that! We now prefer the EOS 5D with it, and are getting wonderful results. We recommend this lens as your first lens for the EOS 5D.
