Tamron 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di VC PZD Overview

The Tamron 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di VC PZD Lens for Canon is a wide-angle to telephoto zoom lens for Canon EF-mount full-frame and APS-C cameras. It provides users with an extremely versatile all-purpose lens in a compact design and on APS-C cameras it has a zoom range equivalent of 44.8-480mm. Also, it has an aperture range from f/3.5-6.3 to f/22-40 across the zoom range.

The 28-300mm is also capable of decent macro capabilities with a reproduction ratio of 1:3.5 when zoomed in to 300mm. This is due to a minimum focus distance of 19.3". Also, for excellent image quality, numerous special glass elements are used in the lens design in addition to Broad-Band Anti-Reflection coatings. There are one Hybrid Aspherical element, three Molded-Glass elements, four Low Dispersion elements, one Extra Refractive Index element, and one Ultra-Extra Refractive Index element.

For general use, there is a Piezo Drive autofocus system which is powered by a fast and quiet standing-wave ultrasonic motor. This allows you to quickly achieve focus for sharp images. There is also Vibration Compensation which provides optical image stabilization that reduces camera shake at slow shutter speeds and longer focal lengths. And, included with the lens are a flower-shaped lens hood as well as front and rear lens caps.

I have the older model of the 28-300. I am thinking of upgrading to the newer version. Is it worth the investment? Is there enough difference in sharpness and focus time?
Asked by: Mary S
The image quality of the new lens is superior to the older in that it is overall sharper and sharper edge to edge with better color and contrast as well as faster focusing. Having said that, we do have a 30 day return policy, so you can try it out and return it if you are not happy with it.

question

Will this lens fit a T3i?
Asked by: Shona D.
Yes, this will be compatible with the T3i however this lens is designed for Full Frame sensor camera bodies and will have a 1.6x crop factor when used with a smaller APS-C sized sensor body like the T3i. I would instead suggest the Tamron 16-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD MACRO Lens for Canon which is designed for use with APS-C sized sensor bodies and will not have a crop factor. https://bhpho.to/2gtEotk
