Product Description
A standard zoom lens from a wide 28mm to a medium telephoto range of 80mm. The use of aspherical elements in the front group reduces the number of elements required, and the use of strong engineering plastic in the barrel makes the body a light 237g. Consequently, it is easy to carry.
Amazon.com Product Description
The Tamron AF28-80mm f3.5-f5.6 is a standard zoom lens with a wide to medium telephoto range of 28-80mm, providing great range for nature and landscape photography or snapshots and home photography. By using aspherical elements in the front optical group, Tamron reduced the total number of elements required. They also used strong, engineered plastic for the barrel, making the total lens body only 8.4 ounces. These features make this lens extremely versatile and lightweight. This model is dedicated to Canon AF SLR cameras.

Decent lens at a great price........2007-09-30
I bought this lens when the kit lens that came with my XTi got broken. I was hoping this lens would be a replacement for the similar Canon one. However, once I started using the Tamron I quickly realized that it is noticeably slower in focusing than the Canon. It also seems I have to be zoomed out farther or physically farther from the subject to get a good focus - and sometimes it just searches and never obtains focus. While the Canon lens was not perfect, I think it was a little better than this one. One great thing about Tamron lenses is that most of them come with a hood, which is great when bonus is keeping out stray light. This lens is adequate for many shooting situations and makes a great "walk-around" lens for most folks, but it's not without it's drawbacks.
A lot of lens for a little money! :).......2007-08-28
Wow! I purchased this lens today. I initially bought it because I thought it might be a good portrait lens until I can afford a good 50mm prime. I haven't tried a portrait, as yet.
In the meantime, for grins, I slapped one of the "macro" lenses that'd I'd originally purchased for the kit lens that came with my Canon xti to see what it could do. Did I mention WOW? I set the lens for manual focus and hung out at my kitchen window, trying my African violets at different angles, as well as my Forget Me Not sprouts.
Talk about sharp! I think that this lens is going to be a good substitution until I can afford to pick up a really good (i.e. high dollar) macro zoom lens, as well. If the portraits come out as well as the macro shots, I'll be totally impressed.
I went outside and shot some pictures of cars on the highway against the neon pizza sign down the road, and they came out really well, too, for handheld shots. I am going to go out with the tripod tomorrow and see how that goes.
For the money, so far so good. I think this will stay on the camera more than the 18-55mm kit lens that came with the camera!
Now, on AF, it does search...quite a bit with the macro attachment, but I grew up on 35mm where I had to focus myself, so this is not a big deal to me.
Not a bad lens at all for the money!
So far, so good!.......2007-08-01
I bought this lens as a temporary replacement to the lens that came with the camera. And, so far, it has worked wonderfully!(though I've noticed the response a little slow on one shot - I hope it was a fluke!) ... The real test is coming in the next few weeks where I will be taking over 500 pictures over a 2 day period, If my opinion changes, then I'll EDIT this.
Another decent lens from Tamron.......2007-04-10
I purchased this lens with my 35mm Rebel K2. A the time of this review I have shot 4 rolls of B&W film though it of Landscape and some action shots of people.
The lens has preformed admirably thus far. I have used it in both manual and auto focus modes both have resulted in good sharp photos. The included lens hood does a good job of preventing glare on the lens and the lens cap included with the lens can be removed with the hood on the lens.
The way the wide angle- zoom feature works seems odd in order to get this lens to act similar to a "prime" lens it makes some sense the lens is at it's shortest length a 50mm then lengthens when either going to 28mm or 80mm. Holding the camera and lens properly will prevent you from accidentally interfering with the focus ring in the auto focus mode. I prefer manual focus (old habits die hard) however when in auto focus the lens works well to quickly focus and allow the camera to shoot.
This isn't a fast lens as far as maximum aperture is concerned but for the average user it will work well in most normal lighting situations.
If you are doing photography in lower light this lens may not work for you.
Over all the lese is good for a good price for about $50 this is a good lens for the average non-professional beginner / intermediate photographer
Extremely cost effective........2007-03-17
I bought this lens to augment, not replace the 18-55 kit lens (Also a decent lens despite reviews) and expected VERY LITTLE from it but it does a very nice, clean, sharp job. I've seen complaints of it being dark, slow, noisy, etc and while it's no L series lens competitor, it's a VERY NICE lens for that price if you simply want to expand you zoom range in a very cost effective manner. I have to confess that it gets less use now that I purchased the Sigma 28-200 (ANOTHER great lens) but not because the lens doesn't deliver.

Lens set.......2007-11-05
This lens set has been working acceptably for me. I am satisfied with the quality for the price, and would probably buy the set again given the same budget constraints. The pictures come out reasonably sharp and the autofocus is reasonably quiet.
Great Deal For Novice.......2007-11-05
I got more than I expected from the price and quality of the lenses. I was hoping that this lense would be fast enough to shoot sports, but you get what you paid for.
Right on!.......2007-08-02

Awesome.......2007-06-28
I am a newbee at Digital Photography, and this was a perfect addition to my camera it works really well and has no issues from delivery to actual use.
Awesome absolutely!!!!!
Great service.......2007-06-08
I absolutely recommend this product. The delivery was prompt (within 4 business days standard shipping) and the product works amazingly well. I honestly have no bad things whatsoever to say about both tamron lenses as they work great with my camera (Canon xti) and I love the quality they provide. Realizing that I am not a professional photographer so I don't need to spend like a professional photographer, this was the best offer I could find for having great quality at an affordable price.

Superior aspherical optics provide improved image resolution throughout its zoom range. ♦ The Tamron 70-300mm is a compact, lightweight, ultra-tele zoom that is ideal for taking pictures at a distance particularly when the subject is difficult to approach such as in nature and wildlife photography as well as at sporting and theatrical events. It also enables you to isolate your subject from the background for eye-catching, dramatic portraits. This versatile lens has macro capability with a magnification of 1:2 for incredible half-lifesize close-ups of small objects such as flowers, insects, jewelry, and coins. Tamron's Di (Digitally Integrated) design uses improved multi-coatings optimized for both Digital and Film SLR Cameras.

A filter prevents environmental damage to the delicate surface coatings of the lens; shields the front element from accidental scuffs and scratches; and in the event of impact, absorbs most of the force — which helps minimize damage to the lens's filter threads. A UV filter enhances image quality by reducing the adverse effects of ultraviolet light which can cause outdoor photographs to appear hazy and indistinct. ♦ This Tamron Two-Lens-plus-necessities Kit will help give you the amazing family pictures, vacation photos, group shots and portraits you've always wanted.
