Not bad for a cheapo lens?

My first attempt at posting here. A couple of shots of a Dornier on final approach to Cambridge Airport this afternoon with the very cheap Tamron 70-300 on a K10.

That 2nd shot in particular is impressive Dave. Body frozen but props still showing motion is exactly how it should be. And no visible signs of the PF the 70-300 is famous for (it's still a very sharp lense though - mine is downstairs in the cupboard) !

I never have problems with my Tammt 70-300, I find it sharp almost to full zoom.

For the money it's a cracking lens.

Nice shots by the way.

Nice shots

Those Tamron's appear to be an underrated lens

My sigma 70-300 is far from perfect but I still love it
K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.

Think most users here would rate it highly. It certainly gives most bang for the buck, one of my most used lenses when I started out.
