Nikon Reviews

You cannot go wrong with this new lens by Tamron! I bought this lens about a month ago for use with my Nikon N65 and am very pleased. The quality of pictures this lens takes is better than my Nikor 28-80 lens plus I don't have to switch between that lens and my 80-200 lens! Picture quality and contrast is superior throughout the range of this lens (no distortion) and the zoom ring operates very smoothly. I've also noticed better depth of field in this lens over my two other lenses.

I've used the lens mainly for sporting/outdoor events (bright sun and overcast conditions) but have also taken pictures indoors in various lighting situations with the same great results. So far, I've taken about 12 rolls of film (mostly 800 speed) and have been very satisfied with my pictures. No color correction by my lab has been necessary and my developer always brags about my pictures! Between the Nikon camera and this Tamron lens, you can't go wrong!

The lens is lightweight (12 oz) but don't think you are exchanging quality for a lighter lens. This newest generation lens by Tamron combines the best of both worlds. Having to buy 62 mm filters for this lens vs. the 72 mm filters that most 28-200 zoom lenses require is another bonus.

If you are thinking about getting a 28-200 zoom lens, I definitely recommend this lens!

Been using this lens for about 10 months on Nikon N70 body.I needed a versatile zoom for traveling. I try to travel with less equipment possible. This lens makes that possible. I get overall good results with this lens. Prints are contrasty and Autofocus is quick and accurate. Easy to use. Somewhat light weight. Internal focus is a good feature when using filters such as polarizer. The lens on this camera body balances well. With the hood attached, be careful for vignetting at the wide end. 72mm filter ring.

i would like to praise this tamron lens for being so light wight,campact and easy to use with a price range that fit everyone,just remarkable.

I've been using this lens for about 2 months now and I am completely satisfied. I use it for everyday photos, wildlife shots, close ups and anything in between. It delivers crisp photos though out. Remarkable performance and the price can't be beat!
