Default Tamron, and Wide Angle

Hey all, receieved a Tamron 75-300 MM lense in my recent deal.. wondering if any of you have experience handling it? Excited to know it can zoom to 300 mm, but remembering a bad experience with Tamrons Bob told us all about before.

Also, Im very excited to have a wide angle lense in my kit bag. It will prove to make some very interesting photos! As always, diversity is what makes you great.

Cheers - Taylor

The worst Tamron I ever used was the old 60-300 SP manual focus lens. I don't know anything about the newer 75-300. I have the new Tamron 17-50 f/2.8, it kicks some serious butt.
