ok, so you are saying to buy Tamron SP AF 70-300mm F/4-5,6 Di VC USD (for Canon Digital SLR) Lens

In reviews I am seeing a very good review almost everywhere.. also price difference between it and corresponding canon lens is almost 10K..so thinking of buying it.
Want to buy it for bird photography and also use general purpose.
Will post photos of Tamron 17-55 2.8 later

for bird photography even 300mm will not be enough but it will be good start..try the lens before buying as i have found myself using 55-250/70-300 less frequently( though it will be great for street photography)

having a 55-250/55-200/70-300 etc lens in kit is always good...I can use it in shows, some birding, street photography etc...y do you think nikon 70-200 2.8 VRII or canon 70-200 L IS is soo much popular

But yes for birding longer is better...but after 300mm everything goes for high cost... for canon it goes like this costwise


Tamron 70-300 VC USD
Canon 70-300 IS USM
Sigma 150-500 HSM OS
Canon 400mm 5.6
Canon 300mm f4 IS
Sigma 50-500 OS HSM
Canon 100-400

:D :D :)

ya all these lens are so expensive and now after increase in price have become more expensive..

BTW how good is tamron 17-50 2.8 compared to 18-55 kit lens (apart from 2.8 advantage)...is the image quality and sharpness significantly better and noticeable (not pixel peeping) ..

@mastervk ....I dont have any first hand experience with tamron 17-50 2.8...but what I know is nikon or canon version cost too much dont remember exactly but like 60k or something ...and the pricing is due to f2.8 :D

Everyone who got this lens is very happy even if it dont have AFS type fast focus system nor it have VR ....the lens have very good low light capabilities...its 1mm wider than 18-55 ....and having a 2.8 aperture helps in everything from bokeh to performance.

for more information u have to read reviews

i think tamron 17-50 2.8 non VC is around $499 at amazon.. is 60 K for VC version...i have read many reviews and all reviews are good for the lens..i will compare some pics in flicker and see..

if we use kit lens at f8 and tamron at f8 ,how much image quality will differ ??

This is nikon 17-55 2.8 cost above 1000$ at amazon -->Amazon.com: Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S DX Nikkor Zoom Lens: Camera & Photo

this is canon 17-55 2.8 USM cost 1000$ + at amazon -->Amazon.com: Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens for Canon DSLR Cameras: Camera & Photo

Tamron 17-55 2.8 VC version is around 35k but people say non-VC is sharper

I think at f8 both lens would be equally sharp...we need 2.8 more for backkground blurring and low light :)
