Fantastic bargain

Fantastic lens at an incredible price! This is really an unbeatable combination. Very sharp lens with good color rendition; an excellent all around lens.

Tamron is Good

Good lens. Good price. It was shipped quickly. I use it as my "walkabout" lens

Better than the SMC 28-80 lens

I bought this to replace my 7yr old SMC 28-80 lens that just jammed up one day when I really needed it. The Tamron lens is good, autofocuses quite fast and feels well built. I have found that a 28-80 lens is the absolute best balance you can get for 90% of all your photos which is why it's on my camera almost all the time.

Basically, this lens works, it's incredible value and the color reproduction doesn't have the tint that my old SMC lens had (which gave the same tint as using Kodak Royal Gold film).
As a result of this purchase I'll probably buy another Tamron lens in the future when I want a telephoto lens.

Tamron 28-80 lens

The lens is a general use lens. For the money you can't go wrong. The lens is pretty good for portraits and landscape. Works well for close ups as well.

Basic lens, good value

This was the first lens I bought after getting my K200D. I wanted something beyond the 55mm from my kit lens but didnt have a lot of money to spend. At $44 it was hard to pass this up. Keep the price in mind when looking at this lens.

For $44 you get a good lens for indoor and outdoor shooting of people and "stuff." When I am shooting people in candid situations, I find the 28-80mm range gives me what I need to get the groups and zoom in to get expresions. Its a nice middle. The Image quality is not the best but again, for less than dinner for two with drinks, it is more than acceptable.

This is a fat but light lens. Lots of plastic but still seems well built. I dont think it will take any more or less abuse than any other lens out there. Then again, for $44, if it gets destroyed its not such a big deal. In fact, it has become my "Danger" lens - If there is a chance I might damage something, I use this one!

The image quality is good - not great - but good. It is a little soft at 80mm and wide open. It shoots a little dark and a little warm but nothing that is too hard to adjust in post processing. Again, this is a budget lens so dont expect too much. The minimum focus distance is not close - closer to 3 feet than 2 (1 meter) - which limits the zoom a little. For people shooting, its not a big deal because no one wants a lens stuck in their face!

I am very happy with this lens and I would recommend it to anyone on a tight budget. But even if you dont have a tight budget, if it is the right lens 10 times a year, its a bargain.
