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.

Great starter lens kit. Do not buy Canon dSLR's with the kit lens, they are junk. Start at this set and work your way up. You will not regret your purchase of these two inexpensive lenses.

The build quality of these lenses are great comparable to the price. If you want the Canon build of a lens, then buy a Canon, if not these lens will last you a very long time.

I absolutely recommend this product. The delivery was prompt (within 4 business days standard shipping) and the product works amazingly well. I honestly have no bad things whatsoever to say about both tamron lenses as they work great with my camera (Canon xti) and I love the quality they provide. Realizing that I am not a professional photographer so I don't need to spend like a professional photographer, this was the best offer I could find for having great quality at an affordable price.

I debated between this and the Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III. I've seen the quality of the Canon Lens, and read reviews for both lenses. In my opinion this 75-300mm is a better lens. The images seem sharper when zoomed in at 300mm than that of the Canon. You have to have a steady hand to take pictures at 300mm reguardless of which lens you get. For the quality and the price...you just can't go wrong with this one.
Note: My experience buying through Amazon from 47th Street Photo was excellent.

Meh you get what you pay for. The focus was a bit too slow for my taste. I didn't expect Canon USM but I was hoping for something better. Good for the casual shooter but I'd recommend you save your money for something else. Get used lenses from keh to save a bit of money.

These lenses have been very good to me for portraits, I have managed to get some amazing shots with them. Even some nice nature shots of butterflies and flowers and what not, and the 300mm lens is great for live music shows. I can get a good shot of musicians from quite a distance away. The only problems I have with them is that you have to be a certain distance away from your subject to get a good shot with them. with the 80mm I think you have to be 8 feet away, and with the 300mm it's 15 feet. But you learn to work around it pretty fast.

This lens set has been working acceptably for me. I am satisfied with the quality for the price, and would probably buy the set again given the same budget constraints. The pictures come out reasonably sharp and the autofocus is reasonably quiet.

Was on a tight budget so took a gamble on the Tamron lenses. Took them to Mexico for spring break. Got amazing photos of whales while a day trip. Not a pro, but for an amatuer they gave me great results. Feel well constructed, time will tell.
