Value for money.
5 Stars Canon Zoom Lens
This is an excellent all-purpose zoom lens for the Canon family of digital cameras. I recommend it to all, beginners to professionals.
4 Stars image stabilization
just remember that at this price there is no image stabilization. So bright light and fast shutter speeds are called for. a good lens none the less.
5 Stars Excellent helping tool
I am just an amateur photographer and this telephoto lens is really helpful for portrait or scenic pictures.
5 Stars Excellent
This camera is very good. It takes very good pics and is easy to use.

5 Stars Perfect for most situations!
Rented this lens for a trip to New Mexico (didn’t hav3 $2000 under the mattress). I was going to shoot a friends wedding and a few days of camping in the high scrub desert of Bandelier National Monument, NM. I knew I needed something versatile for the wedding. As it seems with most wedding, I had very little idea of the lighting situations I would be dealing with. From sunrise shots the day of to the full ceremony and reception, this lens worked flawlessly. The huge aperture, great focal range, and lighting quick USM focus handled every situation. Following the wedding, the lens took a camping trip and continued it’s great performance. The build quality is amazing and the optics are superb. The only “cons”, that are just innate aspects of the lens really, are that it is quit heavy and with the low end of 70mm on a 1.6 cropped sensor, you are shooting more like 116mm. So, judge your distance carefully. On this trip, all I needed to carry was this lens and the 35mm f2 (plus medium and 35mm format film). The combination was great for all the challenges encountered.
5 Stars Canon Lens worth every penny
The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens was the best purchase I have every made. It performs better than I could every imagine. If you need a great telephoto lens this one is for you.
5 Stars Cheaper Elsewhere
This same exact lens can be purchased for $1900 at B&H. Why pay the $2500 when you can save $600.
5 Stars great lens
The lens is great – the pictures are so clear and vivid. The only drawback is the weight.
5 Stars A heavy hitter
I’ll keep this simple and to the point. The lens is bullet proof. It produces beautiful images even in low light situations and that’s even hand held.
Only one minor complaint, it’s pretty heavy. I guess that’s a small price to pay for beautiful photos and dependability. You get a bit of a work out, but who isn’t in need of that.

4 Stars Serves the purpose
This lens serves a no nonsense zoom lens for a novice photographer. Although the focusing is slow it takes great outdoor pictures. My purpose is mainly outdoor photography for which this lens is great. The macro mode takes a while getting used to but I’d rather use this as a zoom lens only.
Overall great value and a super buy for a novice photographer on a budget.
5 Stars Tamron AF-75-300 f/4.0-5.6 LD for Canon Digital SLR
I purchased this lens 3 weeks ago and I am quite happy with it. A friend let me borrow her Cannon 70-300 lens to try, starting reading the reviews on this lens and decided what the heck, for the price I am going to give it a try, thought both lens
took about the same pictures, and I am very happy that i purchased this lens, I have already received compliments about the quality. So for the price you can’t beat this lens and the warranty that comes with it, you would be silly not to get it.
3 Stars A Great Lens, But Will it Last?
I’m an amateur photographer, when i first got the lens i was very happy with it, i mean it was great, long distance, minimal chromatic abberation, but then a month after purchase, it was in my backpack, i asked my friend to pass the bag to me, and it dropped about half a foot, and now the zooming bearing no longer works
I mean don’t get me wrong it’s very good, if you beleive that you can take good care of it i would greatly suggest it as an entry level telephoto for the amateur photographer to experiment with.
I’m sure there are better Lenses, but if you’re going to pay much more money.
Pros: Cheap, Effective, Very good outdoors, Very Sharp at f/8.0, can’t be beat for the price
Cons: Bad indoors, no Image Stabilization so it’s not very stable under a shutter speed of 1/30, not very good shock resistant
Ultimately i would suggest this lens. Get it, it’s cheap, if you want to spend 500 dollars though, get the 70-300mm Canon IS USM lens, it’s better, but 5 times the price.
5 Stars Beautiful, Affordable Camera Lens
Tamron has constructed a wonderful telephoto camera lens for Canon Cameras…! This lens helps in taking beautiful snapshots at a closer proximity than a regular standard zoom lens…! Really a nice zoom lens at an affordable price! Definitely recommend it for those wanting to capture some incredible wildlife photos…
5 Stars Good len for Canon DSLR
Well designed, works perfectly with my Canon Rebel XS, good range, big range for focussing the target.
the complain maybe that i have is the autofocus is little slow, but for this lens, i better if you use in manually mode to achive the the picture as well you desired.
if you want a lens not spensive like other, this lens is a good choice.
i recomended this item.

5 Stars Cheap and serves the purose
The product is really cheap but serves the purpose. It is easy to setup and there is nothing much to it really. There is a level height to set up the level correctly. Rods a mix of plastic and aluminium. It is light and easy to carry around. Good product overall.
5 Stars light, easy to carry, very adjustable
It has a level in it, easy adjust legs, a sturdiness that’s surprising for such a light weight tripod. It adjusts to over five feet, folds smoothly, and great for hikes, or timed pictures.
5 Stars Good Tripod
This has come in handy for our telephoto lens. It also is nice to be able to have everyone in the photos at one time.
4 Stars Very useful
I’ve owned this tripod for almost 9 months now and I love it! I’ve actually taken it to long trips such as Las Vegas, NY, and San Francisco and it’s been very handy for long exposure shots,it’s a little bit unstable when it’s windy but nothing that can be solved by holding it down, it’s really light and comes with a convenient bag.
I’m only giving it 4 stars because there are better brands that would probably give you a more stable grip, but overall it’s a really good buy if you’re on a budget.
5 Stars Perfect for our purpose
We needed a very light, very portable and very inexpensive tripod for a short period of work at our church. This has been perfect for the job. The adjustments move smoothly, the camera is held firmly and it folds quickly to fit into the storage/carry case.
This is not a professional metal tripod — don’t expect that in this price range. However, it is good for tourist type travel and general usage. I would recommend it for anyone with these requirements.
I would purchase again for our own use or for a gift.
Canon EF 50mm f 1 8 II Camera Lens
This is the lightest EF lens of all at a mere 4.6 oz. (130g). Compact and high-performance, standard lens. Its Gaussian optics provide sharp delineation from near to far focusing distances. The color balance is excellent for a standard lens.

5 Stars Great, with a caveat
This is a great lens, allowing you to take sharp pictures without having to carry around big zoom lenses. If you have a cropped-frame body (e.g., XTi, 50D), though, it does become an awkward telephoto lens; so consider the 35mm or 28mm as well.
4 Stars Sharp, beautiful photographs
I picked this up a couple of years ago for Rebel when I wanted to try fixed lenses. I still pull it out from time to time. I am not a professional by any stretch, but I really do like this lens. It’s great for when you want to get a crisp, clear photograph and have time to set up the shot without using zoom.
I still grab my standard zoom lens more often, but this makes a great hobby lens for taking portrait types of shots.
5 Stars Incredible lens for the money
If you are looking for great quality shots at an affordable price, this is the lens for you. No its not the “Prime” so to speak with the quality being on the weak side, but the technology is on the “Prime” side. I highly recommend this if you’re looking for a fixed lens and superb quality shots. I do shoot with Prime “L” lenses and purchased this to test before purchasing the 50 mm f/1.4 and can say I am very pleased with it and will be shooting with it for quite some time.
4 Stars Light, fast, but not useful focal length on cropped-sensors
Chances are you’re looking at this lens as an inexpensive first prime to go with your non-pro DSLR, like I did.
I tried it on my Canon EOS Rebel T1i 15.1 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 3-Inch LCD and EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens, and loved its size and speed, but the crop-factor made it not very useful.
What’s important to know is that many DSLRs use a cropped sensor (check wikipedia for “Crop Factor” for details). On Canon Rebels (and 40/50D), the crop factor is 1.6, meaning a 50mm lens gets cropped down to the equivalent of an 80mm (50mm x 1.6). 80mm is a medium telephoto, which I almost never want to use. 80mm is not enough telephoto for detail shots at distance, but you’d have to stand across the room to get a portrait of more than a face. Since I primarily wanted a portrait lens, this didn’t work for me, though I did use it to take some very nice landscapes.
I found the lens very fast. Its AF is a bit louder than the T1i’s kit lens (18-55 f/3.5-5.6), but the resulting images were notably crisper than the kit lens. Images are soft at f/1.8 end of the range but looked great at f/2 and narrower. Using Av and a wide aperture worked very well for low-light nighttime shots, although there was still blur for moving subjects.
I don’t think it’s fair or useful to compare it to L-glass lenses 5-15x the price like many reviews did. It’s very lightweight, barely adding any weight to my camera. The fast lens with a big aperture provides lot of flexibility when it comes to variable lighting. And it’s cheap. If anything, I wish Canon made more inexpensive prime lenses for those of us who don’t need or can’t afford L-series glass.
Since I needed something closer to 50mm in actual use, I returned this one and am going to try the Canon EF 35mm f/2 Wide Angle Lens for Canon SLR Cameras.
I rate this 4 stars for doing what it’s supposed to do, and doing so very well, but being a less useful effective focal length on cropped-sensor cameras.
3 Stars Ok for $100, but I should have waited and gotten the F1.4
This lens is OK, considering the price. The main problem I have with it is the focus. Sometimes it doesn’t focus on the point that its supposed to. It also seems like it needs a lot of light to actually focus. Also it looks cheap, but then again it was only $100. If I were to do it again, I’d wait/save a little more and get the Canon 50mm F1.4 instead. It has a bigger aperture, and the USM so I’m assuming the focus would be MUCH better.
