You made me decide bewteen tamron 70-300 and sony 55-300 in favor of the second one ;) now, I'm trying to collect a compact system and as you mentioned Minolta 100-300 is smaller - I'd rather gor for it but I don't want to trade off image quality - can you comment on image quality of 55-300 in comparison to 100-300?Kubahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05770670880432967079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6938824791812834583.post-52339798599594015742014-10-06T07:01:57.078-07:002014-10-06T07:01:57.078-07:00Would the VC of the Tamron 70-300 USD have any adv...Would the VC of the Tamron 70-300 USD have any advantage over the Sony DT55-300.

Maybe some of the Sony APS-C bodies will eventually get the A-99 trickle down.<br /><br />Any reason you didn't include the EXIF in the sample images?Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14548702590328731660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6938824791812834583.post-75877629665054890922013-01-13T03:26:19.101-08:002013-01-13T03:26:19.101-08:00I'am still looking for a 300 mm lens for my a5...I'am still looking for a 300 mm lens for my a580. Price wise the tamron usd is close, so I think that will be my choice. Although this review makes me think again. Very positive surpised with the results. In the 70 to 210 mm I normally use my very good beercan copy. So what to use for the last 90mm. I must say the range on the sony is very nice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6938824791812834583.post-78824135171225614482013-01-12T14:35:38.510-08:002013-01-12T14:35:38.510-08:00Thanks, yep that's what I thought too. ;)

I think I'll go with the Tamron for the USD focus motor, but I'm glad to see Sony putting out some nice gear lately.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
