The VC 28-300mm is EISA Lens of the Year 2008/09

Honor Marks Tamron's 10th Time to Receive This Most Prestigious and Internationally Recognized Award

The lens was highly evaluated by the editors-in-chief and technical editors of leading photographic magazines in Europe:

"The Tamron AF 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di VC LD acts like a much faster lens than it appears to be at first sight. The Vibration Compensation system enables use of slower-than-usual shutter speeds - it's a joy being able to shoot pictures handheld that are perfectly sharp with 1/60sec at 300mm. Besides, there is less need to use a flash, which leads to more natural images in many situations. Because of its enormous zoom range with Vibration Compensation, this is the ideal lens for sports and nature, for photographers using either full frame or APS-C sensor camera."
