Hi all,
I received last night a Tamron SP 60-300 that I have bought to Florence (many many many thanks...it is even better than you told me). It was really late so it was almost pitch black outside. Even so, I put the adapter and took my 30D to take some snaps from the terrace...amazing!!!! Crystal clear and I was so so surprised even at such high ISO levels.
I will post some pictures if you want later on, even when I know this lens has been more than proofed here. If all the Tamron SP series behave like this one, I have not hesitation from now on which my next zoom lens will be.
...it is just the excitement of having this lens, I must say 
Regards,
Fer

Looks fantastic, might have to look into finding one of these to cover the 60mm+ range where I only have a 135 and 200 right now. What kind of adapter do you have to use it on your 30d? Is it possible to get an adapter with focus confirmation (I find this extremely useful)? |

The lens is piece of art. Pretty heavy though
I use this adapter:

As for AF-confirm - the chip from BIG-IS glued on the ring above. Works great!

That's great to know Stan! I use my Tamrons on M42 and PK mount cameras as well as the Canon, so I normally have M42 AD2 adapters on the lenses and fit them on the 400D with an M42/EOS AF adapter.

Hi Fer,
I am glad that you are enjoying this nice lens ! I've decided to sold it as prime lenses have more flavor in my heart, but I was impressive by the quality of build and IQ of it.
Cheers
Florent

From the bit of experience I've had with Tamron zooms (70-210 and 35-80), I doubt that there are zooms out there that would exceed the quality of the Tamrons.
Have fun with this outstanding equipment!

Has anyone tried it on full-frame? If Vignetting isn't an issue I might be tempted at some point...
