[QUOTE="Somersetscott, post: 162322, member: 10691"] I have the Tamron 70-300, I managed to pick it up on an awesome offer before our most prolific photography outlet went into administration in the UK. I have to say I am very pleased with it!! Sharp, light, compact for the reach. No lens creep or anything like that. Does feel a bit plastic-ie but not too cheap, looks nice. The Tamron has a macro switch on it (functional at 180mm and above or something like that) - gives that extra use for me. I wouldn't say i'm hell bent on macro nor is it equal or better than a dedicated macro - but it is certainly handy to have! perfer to be over equipt than get caught with my pants down. It also fits in my camera bag, unlike my Sigma 170-500mm. If you'd like some examples please let me know and I'll post a few tomorrow - I've left my portable HDD at home. [/QUOTE]
