The most compact and lightest in the history of fast zoom lenses. Thanks to the revolutionary downsizing XR technology employed by Tamron in the development of high-power zoom lenses, the dramatic compactness that makes this lens the world's smallest and lightest is achieved. Its compactness makes it look and feel like an ordinary standard zoom lens, yet the versatility that a fast constant maximum aperture offers will definitely reshape your photographic horizons.This lens features a rotation type of zooming. more info

Problems with Chromatic Aberation
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Overall this is a very good lens but I wouldn’t say it merits a 5-star rating. I’ve found in a couple of situations (in bright light) where chromatic aberration was a real problem. For the money, it’s a great lens. But to me a 5-star lens would be the Sony/Zeiss offerings and the clarity they provide. Of course, those are significantly more money. Just bear in mind if you’re looking for a CA-free offering this is not the best lens – but if you are looking for overall good value (especially in lower light or natural lighting) then this will probably work very well for you.
Great lowlight lense
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I bought this lense for my A100 because of it’s lower light abilities. This has turned out to be a very good lense. It’s focusing is very quick, very sharp wide open & feels well built. I do wish it was a little wider at times, but if really needed I have my kit lense. I’ve since picked up an A700 & keep this lense on one of my cameras at all times. The picture quality has been exceptional whether shooting flowers, people or my dog, indoors or outide. As a bonus, I also like the looks of it.
Absolutely Stunning Image Quality
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This lens has impressed me to no end. It is incredibly sharp even wide open. The zoom range is extremely handy. The build quality is excellent. Now, to be fair, the first one I got I had to send back because it was “front focusing” but I had NO problems returning it and getting a new one which was perfect! This lens is an exceptional deal and with the Sony A100 you get the benefit of image stabilization added to this incredibly sharp fast lens!!!
It’s my new best friend!
