This is the definitive lightweight, compact telephoto macro zoom with a maximum magnification ratio of 1: 2 at the 300mm setting - ideal for shooting subjects that are difficult to approach such as sporting and theatrical events. The lens also features special effects such as the capability to provide beautifully blurred backgrounds to highlight the main subject in portraiture, or "compression effects" that make the most of the telephoto lens. By switching to macro mode, subjects as close as 0.95m can be shot within the focal range of 180-300mm, for true macro photography. The optical system incorporates a LD (Low Dispersion) lens, resulting in clear sharp images free of chromatic aberration.
Bought this lens for our Nikon 5300 as we were going on safari and wanted closer pictures of the animals. After some searching online this seemed like the best product for the job at a reasonable price.
We are amateurs and just enjoy taking the photos on auto mode mainly. This has been a great addition to the camera and we took some fantastic photographs. Clear image and quick to auto focus unlike so other reviewers we did not find it too noisy or blurred.
Glad we purchased this lens!
It is just OK for a Macro lens but the sharpness once over 200mm for ordinary shooting is not good, I took it out three times, and I wanted it really for closup Macro but I have been spoiled by much better lenses, I have part exchanged it already for a proper Macro lens.
Excellent value for money but I had to give it 4 stars only because it doesn't go near enough to the subject as I anticipated. If you need it for bird photography then you have to scoop up more money to get something much more powerful. The same goes for macro photography, in order to get the insect magnified to a good size, you need specialized equipment, don't expect miracles from this one as you will be disappointed.
The Tamron A17 70-300 is otherwise of exceptional quality for this price - a real bargain. To a beginner like me, it's a real find and it gives you the time to experiment in new areas until you are ready to take it to a higher level.
As for filters, you have to buy a new set as the ones fitting the Nikon will be too small - not a major inconvenience but I wish I'd known and bought something that fits directly to the camera body instead of lenses.Read full review
I was a little bit concerned having owned some high end gear, but this lens is an absolute pleasure.
It's light which means it gets used, image quality and focussing are more than adequate. A tip when attaching and removing lens hood, switch to manual focus, extend zoom and hold lens barrel to avoid strain on autofocus mechanism. Great buy, although not truly a macro 1:2 ratio is great with the 300mm end allowing some great shots of wildlife at just under a metre distance.
