Tamron AF 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 LD (IF) Aspherical Macro 185D

Nice lens for different projects This is a very good lens to carry if you have a smiple project and you don't want to carry many lenses. It is exactly why I got this lens. Now there are some good things and some not very good things about this lens. Pro: 1. Versatile and lightweight 2. Wide range between wide angle and tele (mostly if you're doing full frame or film cameras) not so much in APC and small digital. 3. Good camera manufacturer 4. Cheap compared to Nikon lenses (which I love very very much) Con: 1. Aperture (lens opens up at 5.3 or something) which does not make it a very fast lens especially for low light or sports photography (i do lots of car racing photographry). Of course I compare this to my fast f:2.8 lenses from Nikon that cost almost $2000 each 2. Lens is considered soft which means you won't get the same quality or sharpness you can expect from a Nikon lens 3. In digital bodies like the D80 which has the small APC sensor, you won't get the full image or the true wide angle of 28mm.

review of my Tamron AF 28-300mm F3.5-6.3 LD Aspherical [IF] MACRO Lens for Nikon #C57 Very nice lens fast focusing crystal clear photos in general a great addition to my camera outfit would recommend (if you are serious about your photos then get one of these they are great for every thing from close-ups to telephoto shots

Perfect! The lens is amazing. Fast, clear with high definition.
