A friend of mine damaged the filter ring on his 70-210 Tamron F2.8 zoom. Tamron wanted a fortune to fix it so he took it to a machinist who fixed it for, I think, 20 bucks. Vic

Excellent glass, excellent mechanicals, and mostly excellent finish EXCEPT for a ding on the top of the lens barrel which has damaged the filter ring, so filters will not mount. This may be fixable, but as I don't often use filters I haven't tried. There is a very slight amount of wear evident on the aperture ring. >>
