I have a Canon 50D, and I am looking for a mid-price range decent telephoto zoom lens, most likely 70-300. I have a budget of about $500, so no Canon L lenses for me.
I have been looking at two lenses. The Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM, and the Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 SP Di VC USD XLD.
These two lenese are about the same price. I know that the Tamron is a much newer lens, and I've heard the image stabilization (Tamron calls it vibration compensation) is more effective on the Tamron.
I was able to test the Tamron in a camera store, but they didn't have the Canon in stock- so I was unable to compare the two.
I was very impressed with the Tamron. The VC seemed to work great, the image quality seemed pretty good, and it just felt like a well built lens.
Has anybody has experience with either, or both, of these lenses?? What do you think of them?
Are there any other good telephotos in this price range that are worth looking at?
