hey we own a Tamron 70-300

hey we own a Tamron 70-300 and like it alot. We actually went to buy a manfrotto tripod and saw that we could get the 70-300 and a Giotto tripod for the same price. I wish we had just bought the lens and left the giotto. But the lens is really useful. As Carl said it isn't fast but for 200 bucks its fast enough. My wife catches birds in flight with it, and they are really crisp. Definately worth the money. If you are having bad luck on ebay. Don't count out your local camera shops on old minolta stuff. I got a beercan for like 25 bucks and my 50mm for 40 or 50.
