I purchased this bundled kit for my Rebel XT to see what kind of zoom range I would need and what my daily needs are before purchasing a Canon IS lens. The lenses work surprisingly well for the price. I have had lots of good and clear images. Very light and does the job. I will still keep these lenses with me, especially the 75-300mm lens as my handy backup. I use the 28-80mm as my main lens. There is some searching at AF but I just go to manual when that happens. I don't have a flash yet (more research there :-)) and have been pleased with the shots in low light.

I admit I had my eyes on far more expensive lenses, but I had to go with my budget when I ordered these. I couldn't be more pleased. My pictures are clear, the lenses are light, and the bag and lens sheilds are very handy. Also worth noting is the super quick delivery. I had these within three days of ordering! A great purchase.

The Tamron 28-80 lens is a bit soft at 80 mm lens but this is true of any zoom lens for that matter. All zoom lenses tend to soften a bit at extremes of their range. but given the availability of the 70-300 mm the softer pictures at 80 mm lense can be captured by the 70-300 mm lense..
Decent pictures at an exciting price.
