I was wondering if I could shoot some sports photography w/ the Tamron 28-300 lens, since right now this would be the only one to fit my budget. However, I wanted to have some sports shots for my college application (photography). // Cameras: EOS 5D, but I mostly use the Mamiya 6x7

At 300mm you would be looking at 6.3 so you would really have to have alot of light. The 100-300 I believe is 5.6 at 300 so it wold be a little better. Ray : "My pictures are only worth 100 words"

I've used the Tammy for sports afor a couple of months and you need a lot of light to freeze the action at f6.3. On a bright day you can get away with it.

I am shooting with a very slow Tamron 70-300 lens and I still get great shoots at day games. However, when I was shooting at the Maryland Vs. Florida State game last week I noticed that I need to save up for the Canon 70-200 f2.8 IS lens cause it was to slow to get clear shots at night. Other than night games, get this inexpensive lens and I promise you will get some good shots.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.
