Went through this thread and saw a lot of your pics (great, btw) and I'll be using this lens for action/sports as well. I've heard the lens has trouble tracking in AI Servo and AF can be a little slow at times, so just wanted to know your opinion. And I think I saw you shoot with a 60D (?), which is perfect because I do as well. I'm still very much on the fence with about this lens, but I most definitely don't want to cough up money for an L because I'm only a beginner... Thanks!
No trouble from the Tamron lens with focus tracking or with AI Servo from actual use at actual events with moving subjects, even when the subjects were approaching the camera position. The main challenge in using the 60D and the Tamron lens at these events is to make sure the camera is pointed in the correct direction and the shutter button is pushed when the peak action happens.

Thanks for the response! Think I'm gonna go for this lens when funds are available. There's a surf competition and Dallas Cowboys scrimmage coming up next month so hopefully I'll have it by then.

I'll also share some pictures cause they say more than words.        I read some treads on this forum where some guy was saying that this lens was pretty much worthless from 200mm onwards. Well these photos clearly prove it wrong IMO. Photo 1, 3, and 6 is even cropped past the 300mm... Harry

All these shots are taken without tri/monopod, just out of free hand and mostly at or close to the 300mm focal lenght. I read some treads on this forum where some guy was saying that this lens was pretty much worthless from 200mm onwards. Well these photos clearly prove it wrong IMO. Photo 1, 3, and 6 is even cropped past the 300mm... Wow these photos show the kind of detail I was interested in, it does not seem sofr at 300mm, were any shot wide open? Previous posts also show that this lens is perfectly capable for fast moving action too. I have been torn between this lens and the canon 70-200 F4 non-IS in my budget but this lens would provide the VC and extra range. How do you find the AF in lower light? what about contrast? have you done much sharpening in PP? how does it deal with out of focus hightlights? I have seen quite a few samples with pronounced halo's.
