Editorial Review:

Product Description:
The most compact and lightest in the history of fast zoom lenses. Thanks to the revolutionary downsizing "XR" technology employed by Tamron in the development of high-power zoom lenses, the dramatic compactness that makes this lens the world's smallest and lightest is achieved. Its compactness makes it look and feel like an ordinary standard zoom lens, yet the versatility that a fast constant maximum aperture offers will definitely reshape your photographic horizons.This lens features a rotation type of zooming.

- Tamron has make their design more manufacturable
Didn't buy this at Amazon, but ended up returning 3 bad copies in a row before giving up. The first had severe softness at 75mm. The 2nd had severe BF at 28mm. The 3rd had slight BF at 28mm and softness at 75mm.
While testing I saw flashes of super sharpness (75mm on 2nd lens and 50mm on 3rd lens). If Tamron could figure out what's wrong w/ their design so it can be more consistently manufactured, they'd have a real winner.
I did wish the range were 24-70 instead of 28-75 though...the ... Read More

I recently started wedding photography, and this lens does the job. It does a great job in low light. I am very pleased I purchased this lens, it was well worth the money.

- Great lens and great price
I just received my Tamron 28-75mm yesterday and fired off some test shots while walking around the house and yard.

Wow is all I have to say...This is definitely going to be my walk-around lens.

I did a ton of comparison shopping between various lenses in a similar focal range -- 16-50mm, 17-70mm, but I eventually ended up picking this lens because I need the 75mm more than the wide angles. I also compared lots of numbers at various web sites, although not ... Read More

- Legendary Pro-Level Bargain Performer
The Tamron 28-75 has become somewhat of a legend due to its phenomenal image performance for the price. Yet, when you take price out of the equation, this lens still holds its own surprisingly well against the top-dogs from Canon and Nikon costing anywhere from two to four times the price of the Tamron. So far, I've found this lens is consistent with what I've been hearing across the Internet: image quality is at a professional level.

The lens looks and feels like most Tamron lenses I've ... Read More

- Best Buy for the Money
I got this lens one month ago. I use it with a K10D and as long as I can shoot in the 28-75 range I use it! Sharpness is excellent and being able to shoot at f2.8 is worth the extra-weight.
The autofocus is fast for the price range. AF noise is OK but it gets really noisy when it's not able to focus... But anyway you won't use a zoom with that range for wild-life pictures!
Even though this is not a macro lens you can still focus pretty close (about 1:3, 1:4 magnification).
I recommend ... Read More
