| ownership: | I own this lens |
| compared to: | Tamron 70-300 |
| price paid: | 60 USD (new) |
| positive: | - Good range - Light - Sharp at shorter focal lengths |
| negative: | - Soft wide open at longer focal lengths - Some CA issues at the longer focal lengths - Slow AF |
| comment: | I picked this up on clearance from Circuit City for $60. It is a decent lens especially in the 70-200 range. Build quality is OK. Better CA control than the Tamron but that isn't saying much. |
