Tamron 16-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD Macro Lens for Canon Camera (Model B016E) - International Version (No Warranty)

good

I am a beginner to cameras and have a Canon M50. I just do “walk about” photography and so I thought this lens was it. I didn’t realize it, but this lens is ALREADY a built for APS-C cameras, so you CANNOT use a speed booster on it and turn it into some kind of “super-low aperture zoom lens,” like I tried to do. Oops! Horrendous vignetting had! My bad!Even so, the lens would not communicate with my M50. I believe that other people who have tried this combo say it is quite glitchy even if you get a firmware update to make it more compatible..... so anyways I sent it back (and got another Tamron lens that needed an update, which I also sent back.)To Tamron: I love the idea of this lens. Super-wide to super-zoom. Here’s my challenge for you. Make another one like it that is #1 - Lighter . #2 - Has an (industry shaking) aperture range of like f/2 to f/5 or such . #3 - Is compatible without the need for so much firmware update technology. Your lenses are glitchy! Be more dependable because your optical quality is it bad!

Great lens, wide range and fast foucus!

As expected, you won't get the sharpest images, especially once you are out of high-in-the-sky sun light. It's better than nothing. Just know you won't get professional quality images. It's not a total waste though. If you really want a large zoom lens and on a budget. Fair start here.If you can, go with the Canon 18-200mm. This 16-300mm gives you more "zoom" though.Does have VC (vibration control). In the picture, that's the lens fully extended next to a standard sized wine bottle. So it's pretty compact.

It is "ok". I use it on a Canon t3i. I bought it so I would not have to change lenses. I like the wide angle to zoom range, but I also like my photos to be SHARP, and this just does not do it well, especially when it is zoomed all the way out to 300 mm. I am pretty disappointed, so I will most likely sell it.

Received the lens just prior to visiting Custer State Park, the Blackhills, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons - what a blessing! Great "up close" photos.

Considering the price, I am very please with the performance of this lens. Highly recommended for any armature photographer who wants to go on vacation with only one lens.

Awesome except when I purchased it didn't realize it was a Grey market purchase so tamron will not cover it i case of damage
