Tamron Autofocus 75-300mm f/4-5.6 LD with Hood for Pentax SLR Cameras.......2007-01-09

Lens works great, zoom is fantastic.

Good for the price...but...........2006-11-21

This lens is "ok". For the price that it is you kind of get what you pay for from it. Noticed some shake and lighting was off on some inside shots I took at my daughters cheerleading competition that I bought this for. I have shot on a tripod and off of the tripod...both the same outcome.

Used exact same thing before... and will again!.......2006-08-16

This Objective is the best in this price range I have used. It works just great, light intensity is good enough, and I found it to be able to accomodate the strangest requests especially at the Cliffs of Mohare in Ireland, Malta and here in my homecountry, the U.S. Even with diffuse light situations, the Tamron still gives you some power to accomplish what you want.
I would personally recommend Tamron Objectives to everybody on a budget. If you need better light intensity you will have to go with a lower spread, which will, depending on the lens you buy, drive the price right up. Tamron is a great Customer Service experience as well.

I just recently bought a Pentax DSLR and this one will be equipped with a Tamron soon.

Tamron Autofocus 75-300mm f/4-5.6 LD with Hood for Pentax SLR Cameras.......2006-07-21

This lens works smoothly with my manual focus Pentax K1000. I just need to keep off the A (automatic) focus stop.

I noticed a slight amount of distortion at the edges of one picture taken at the 300 mm position, but, generally, everything looks fine.

I bought the lens for a trip to Alaska and I was very satisfied with the operation of the lens.

Put this lens in your toolkit.......2004-01-11

The Tamron f/4-5.6 75-300 zoom is a great buy at the price. The zoom is very smooth and auto focus very responsive. Very nice optics. For outdoor work you can, almost, get away with this as the only lens. Results are crisp beautiful photos. Quality is vastly superior to the lenses generally included in a Pentax kit.

Personally I find the low end of the focal length limiting (indoors in particular) and it could be a bit brighter (aperture) but the quality is very good at 300mm. As far as cost goes there is nearly a $100.00 price delta between this and an equivalent 28-200mm lens.

I have personally used this lens for several weddings (paid and voluntary) with great results. Lens is light enough that I have been able to do a lot of shots freehand (no tripod) without noticeable "shake" in the resulting photos. In addition to the weddings I have also had good results with equestrian, other "slow" action photos and in particular landscape shots where I use the zoom to frame the shot with different points of view (POV).

In summary this is a very good lens at a very good price. If you need a long lens in your set this is a very good choice.

Product Description

A statement of style, grace and elegance. The 302 Series Phone was introduced in 1937 and was the first in the collection to incorporate the bell in the base of the unit. Designed by Henry Dreyfuss and originally cast in metal, this piece was later produced using a heavy-duty plastic housing. The retro style appearance is combined with a rugged construction earning it the nickname "The Cow's Hoof" because of its lipped hoof-style base. This early desk version served as the standard for the better part of World War II while telephone design efforts were halted due to defense work. Whether for its beauty or its brawn, the Crosley 302 Desk Phone is surely a conversation piece in any setting.

Nice Nostalgia Phone.......2007-12-22

Phone arrived quickly. Looks great. It's of sufficient weight that it doesn't slide around when using it. Nice nostalgic ring to it though I wish the volume had more adjustments. All in all very happy.

Crosley 302 -- made me Cross!.......2007-12-06

The hardwired 7' cord is silly for a wall phone. I was intending to put a 25-50 cord on this given that's what it was intended to replace.

The other issue is the ringer....they attribute the "meek dingk" ring to having too many phones plugged in which decreases volume. Hmmmm....the ORIGINAL BELL wall phone that was replaced didn't have any problem with decibels.

While the looks and heft are nice, it doesn't make up for the other deficiencies. Conclusion: NOT WORTH the purchase price.

Excellent Product.......2007-11-29

This is the heavy duty, easy to hold, desk phone with the familiar old-fashioned ring. The flash and redial features are incorporated in the face plate. This is a great product.

Great retro phone!.......2007-06-28

For anyone who wants a wonderful retro phone (i.e., not sure the era of it but it seems very 30s-40s to me), this is it. My grandmother had one of these and it certainly looks and feels authentic. It is substantially heavy -- the handset has weight to it, just like her old handset. We have an old house with a phone nook so this looks just perfect. I thought the price was pretty reasonable too. We also have the wall phone counterpart to it in our kitchen and that looks and feels great too.

The only potential downside to the phone is that everything is hard wired into it (i.e., you cannot change out the handset cord or the wall cord if it becomes damaged or you want something shorter -- it's that authentic!) Hence, if you are going to do a lot of stretching of the cord, sitting far away from the phone, etc. it could potentially pose a problem down the road if the wiring becomes loose due to wear and tear. That being said, any electrician's repair shop could probably fix it and whose to say that will even happen. Crosley has been making phones for years and their products are solid and well made. In my opinion, the benefits certainly outweigh any concern associated with this aspect of the phone. I would highly recommend it and the wall unit to anyone interested in this classic look.

Retro Charm, Sturdy, Fully Functional.......2007-01-05

if you're looking for an old fashioned phone without the dialing action, this one fills the bill. great sound quality, nice weight, good button response, and so far, no glitches. it even has flash & redial buttons cleverly disguised in the center of the keypad. no caller id lcd or phone number memory, but that would really spoil the retro charm. we use an antiquated ameritech caller id machine with it, and the two get along fine.
