Tamron Delima

I have a Tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6 LD macro 1:2, using it on a Canon 30D body. Lens aperture is stuck, it hunts on auto focus and will not function with camera except in full auto program, cost $89.00 and change to fix, $164.95 new with warranty from B & H. Would you fix or replace?

You can get a used one for $90, so IMO, just buy a used one if you like the lens. Better yet, use this as an opportunity to upgrade to something stabilized.

The only reason I would consider new is the six year warranty Tamron has. thanks for the reply

I think I'd get the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS or the Sigma 70-300mm F/4-5.6 DG OS or the Canon 70-200 F/4L. (Come to think of it, I actually DID get the 70-200 F/4L IS to replace a Tamron 70-300.)
