I recently asked for opinions on IIS regarding a Canon EF 70-300mm L lens which seemed quite favourable but at around the $1300 -$1500 mark I was a bit reluctant to buy one. While on ebay I came across a new Tamron AF 70-300mm F/4-5.6 Di LD MACRO lens for $170 inc. free postage from Hong Kong. Because it has the same basic specs (not the quality) as the Canon lens, $170 didn't seem a great outlay. Here are the results, all hand held shots from 30-40 feet away, 250-300mm FL. I think the fact that the lens was fitted to my Canon 5D MkII might have something to do with these relatively pleasing shots. The last shot is a crop of the preceding image.
