Not the lightest in class and not the best build quality in class (but not the worst either), this offering from Tamron is certainly one of the cheapest in class and optically the best performer by a long way. The trend with this type of lens to rely overly on autofocus, with only token nods towards manual focusing concerns me a little, but the MF ring on this model is at least usable. It has to be one of the best budget buys on the market.
