Tamron's budget telephoto with macro — same as ID 659, budget 70-300mm without stabilisation.
The Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di LD Macro 1:2 appears to be the same lens as ID 659 — Tamron's budget telephoto with 1:2 half-macro capability. The specification emphasises the 1:2 magnification in the canonical name.
Same as ID 659 — basic 70-300mm at variable f/4-5.6 with LD glass and macro mode providing 1:2 magnification. No image stabilisation. AF adequate but not fast. Budget pricing throughout.
Available for Nikon F, Canon EF, and Sony A mounts. 62mm filter thread. Approximately 435g. No weather sealing. Full-frame coverage. The macro mode is the distinguishing feature.
Check against ID 659 for duplicate — different canonical name emphasis on macro ratio. Very cheap used. The SP 70-300mm VC USD is dramatically better. See ID 659 for full details.
