Haha, I just bought the Tammy SP 70-300mm...I love it!

Hey Marawder....
You posted this to an old thread about a Sony firmware update. So, I moved your post to a separate thread (this one). Congrats on the new lens. I've always appreciated the build and optical quality of the SP (Super Performance) Tamron lenses. So, I think you'll enjoy your new optics. Please let us know how you like it when you have a chance to use it some more. |

How does this lens compare to the Sony G 70-300?

 I'll post some test shots later on, but I can tell you the Tammy is very sharp at all apertures, and overall it performs better than the Sony. Even wide-open, with very contrasty scenes, there's almost no CA. It has nice color rendition, instant AF over-ride, very quiet and accurate focusing. The Sony 70-300G just ISN'T WORTH THE PRICE TAG!
