I have purchased two of these lenses (autofocus version) for our Nikon N-70. I dropped the first lens and something came loose. This is a superb lens. I studied the Modern Photography Magazine ratings to select this lens, which was/is the sharpest zoom lens in the 20-120 range. Not even Nikon or Canon can beat this lens for sharpness across the focal range. Spherical Aberration is marginally higher than an average lens with this focal range, so you wouldn't want to shoot professional architecture photos with this lens. Tamron makes a semi-pro lens with an F-2.8 across a similar zoom range, but it is no sharper than this lens.

I have used this lens with my Rebel 2000 and EOS-3. It's an excellent lens! The auto focus is fast and relatively quiet, the image quality is excellent. The best feature in my opinion is the large lens area, it captures lots of light. This is an A+ lens for the price.

I shot my first wedding using this lense, it performed outstanding. I am very satisfied and will continue using this lense with my Nikon D70s camera.

Great addition to my Sony Alpha a100. Yes thats right it works with out a glitch with my sony. It takes awsome pictures and goes the extra distance that the standard lens that comes with the a100 can not simply do.

I needed to replace my Sigma 55-80mm lens for every day use and the Tamron was recommended to me as potential replacement. Based on the price and 6 year warranty, it has exceeded my expectations.

I am very happy with all my Tamron lense, I do not know that they will last Like Vivitar lenses, it will take many years to find out, so far, no one go bad yet, on the contrally, I bought my first Sigma on 1975 for my Konica, then a Sigma 50 mm macro for my Nikon, and a 28-200 for my Canon,...ect. and no one Sigma lenses last more than 2 years, everyone go bad with no exception.

For the price this is an excellent lens but did a side by side comparison with my higher priced Tamron 2.8 17-55mm and there is a clear difference in sharpness and contrast so don't expect perfection. If you're extremely demanding then spend the money on quality glass, but if you're a casual shooter and want to save some $$ this is a good deal and great for every day photography.

I bought the Sony A300 and was immediately disappointed at the image quality produced by the kit lens. So, I started searching for a replacement lens and that's when I came across this Tamron 28-105mm. It offered less WA but longer reach, which I prefer. So, for a mere $40 with free shipping, I could not pass on it and I'm glad I didn't. This is a great, versatile little lens, far better than Sony's kit lens. It's quiet and fast focusing. It produces excellent, sharp and well saturated images right out of the camera. Could not be happier.

I own a Sony DSLR-A300. I bought this Tamron lens at the recommendation of some other Sony DSLR owners on the forums at Steve's Digicams. At the time, one vendor had them for $39. I could not pass this up, especially after seeing the sample shots posted by users. I was not disappointed. The clarity of my photos is great, and the colors look clear and bright. Thought it is not a macro lens (minimum focus is something like 18"), I have taken many clear close-up shots with it. It is a film lens, but works flawlessly with the Sony Alpha cameras. Tamron makes decent lenses.

I been looking for a decent lanses for my minolta.. Looked everywhere and compare the prices. Amanzon.com has the cheapest price..
