Review: A very good budget lens - This lens was bought to upgrade my old AF lenses which are not autofocus compatible with my new camera, a Nikon D3400. It was an opportunity to try out a 300mm focal length lens to see if its worth upgrading to a Nikon one in due course. This is a pleasantly well made lens which can be switched over from auto to manual FOCUS. The zoom ring is by necessity and design manually operated. Movement is smooth and the focus motor is relatively quiet. There is a "Macro" switch but in reality it is a lock button for the zoom ring between 180-300mm. Focus is an art form with this selected but will deliver good results if the camera is around 5' away from the subject. Any closer and focus is difficult in manual and almost impossible in auto. The result a good "Super Close Up" but certainly not macro. That said, from a personal perspective I only want crisp sharp close up pictures not macro. The casing is mostly plastic but aesthetically pleasing. I dont think the extra 100mm is worth the money as thus far I have noticed little difference between this and the 55-200mm from Nikon in terms of performance. Zooming is smooth and quiet. Imaging is crisp and clear A good budget lens, which matches the Nikon one in most aspects. I asm vrry pleased with the performance of this lens. Only build quality might tempt me to spend the extra £s to upgrade to Nikon branded. **Update** 12/8/09 this lens is still in the case, still in use and still going strong.
Review: Wonderful ...... withdrawal symptoms gone!! - I am absolutely delighted with the build, picture quality and price of this lens. I bought it as a complete beginner, wanting to use it for insect photography. It is well built and easily attaches to my Nikon D3300 - in fact, it stays on it all of the time now. The auto focus works as if the lens were made for the camera and I don't notice the noise ..... I don't have a problem changing from macro to normal focus ....... I prefer manual focusing, to be honest, but it depends upon the subject and context. I think this is a seriously good piece of kit - excellent value for money - I just wish I'd bought it sooner. Update 19/8/16 ..... I'd had the lens for 10 days yesterday and the motor is no longer working. I am therefore returning it. What a shame. I had originally given it 5 stars ..... but have had to change that score to one. Update 12/11/16 ..... I just couldn't do without this lens so had to purchase another...... It's outstanding ..... so back to 5 stars ...... except that the system will not allow me to change and save!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good for the money
*by S***Y on 2 March 2013*

I have only been into DSLR photography for around a year but have already made some expensive mistakes. My first error was buying my Nikon with the kit lenses, an 18-55 and 55-200, both VR. They had their good points I grant you but the 18-55 was too little range ( I was used to a bigger zoom range compact) and the 55-200 was frankly disappointing beyond about 140mm (soft, even stopped down). I knew someone with an 18-105 VR who rated it highly and as they can be picked up for around £170 second hand, I bought one. This is a good lens and obviously made the 18-55 redundant - so it went, and the useable range of the 55-200 not worth the trouble of putting it on - so it went too. I felt the loss in my camera bag though. I needed a telephoto capability. Having spent far too much of the family budget on camera equipment already (I also bought various filters, a tripod and a 40mm f/2.8 micro (superb lens), I was on a tight budget. I bought a Tamron adaptall 70-210 lens for £10 (& £15 for an adapter). This has many things going for it including forcing me to learn how to use my camera manually, but sharpness does not quite stand scrutiny in the digital age and it's sometimes a pain to have to set up manually when you want results quickly. I have some nice photos from it, but it doesn't answer all my needs. Ideally I would have bought the Nikon 70-300 VR but at over £350 it wouldn't happen any time soon. The more I read about this Tamron AF 70-300 Di LD Macro though, the more I thought it would suit for now. It gets criticised for not having VC, going soft beyond 200mm and having a noisy and slow autofocus. I am now more aware of what I need from a lens and I often use a tripod for static scenes so I reckoned I could live without the VC (Tamron speak for VR). It may indeed go soft beyond 200mm, but up to that focal range it is comparable to the 18-105. It also seems to be better than the 55-200 at the extreme tele in their ranges. I must add that according to lab tests the Nikon at 200mm should be sharper than the Tamron at 300mm which is not how it seems to me, so I have to wonder if I had a 'duff' 55-200. The final point was the autofocus. If I was photographing sports or action regularly then it would not suit (and I would want VC/VR too!). but landscapes don't move while the AF hunts a little so it is fine for me, and it is not objectionably noisy, though not as quiet as the Nikon lenses I have owned. I did a little experiment looking over to the Ironbridge from the top of the Rotunda (1/4 mile or so for those not familiar). I had a photo of the bridge with the 18-105 at 105mm, one with the 70-300 at 170mm and one at 280mm. I cropped each to show a similar section of the bridge. The portion from the photo taken with the 18-105 was a very small part of the total photo and so, although you could read the words on the bridge structure, you would not have found it acceptably sharp. The two from the 70-300 were both much better. The 170mm one was about 1/16th of the full photo and was very sharp, the other was around 1/8th (very rough figure, both) and was slightly more blurry. I deduced from this that a/ it was good to have the lens as it could beat the 18-105 when you needed more focal length, and b/ it would be better to take a shot at 170ish mm and crop than extend it to nearer its maximum. This is real world testing, hope it helps. Tim Additions: I have found it to be sharp even at 300mm when stopped down to f/16 or f/22 but you will have to manually focus and have reasonable light to do this. To answer another persons review question. Lenses of a certain age sometimes don't have focus motors built in but will autofocus on a body with a motor - generally a higher spec body. A Tamron like this may have two versions, one with and one without a motor, the part number will be followed by 'N II' if it has a motor. Be careful on ebay tho, I have been caught out as some info is auto filled in and gives the 'N II' part number sometimes when it isn't.
