5.0 out of 5 stars soccer or event pictures, October 13, 2000

This review is from: Tamron 200-400mm f/5.6 LD Minolta Mount SLR Zoom Lens (Electronics)

this lens has served me well. i take soccer pictures of the kids on a weekly basis and use this lens with a canon elan 2 camera with at least 800 speed film for day and 1600 speed film for night with great results . even when enlarging photos great results are possible. only drawback is you need to be far enough away ,as say the bleachers or stands, to have a good vantage point. not for sideline pictures for that i recomend the tamron 80-200 af lens which allows for close up action.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very pleased with this lens, January 27, 2012

This review is from: Tamron 200-400mm f/5.6 LD Minolta Mount SLR Zoom Lens (Electronics)

I decided to purchase this lens for use with my Sony a700 due to its price. I brought it used. I have a Sony 70-400 G which is an excellent lens but I did not wish to take it into more rugged environments. I have used this lens for birding and my copy is very sharp even at 400mm. The results from it are good if used in adequate daylight. It is light and it did not take long to get accustomed to the push pull zoom action. It is certainly a good choice as a 'poor man's' long zoom. Take a look at the pictures I posted here.
