    Versatile all-in-one

    Good value all-in-one lens, bought it to take on trips so that there would be no lens swapping required. It does great on my very old (14 year old) Nikon D90. Don't depend on it actually going the full 400mm very well, but beyond 300mm, it is great. Likely better on a modern camera. For the money, you won't find anything better. Image of bird running away from me was almost at the limit (near 400mm), not too bad.

    This is a great lens

    Theis telephoto lens is great, exactly what I needed. Great for taking photos of nature and landscape. I have a Nikon Z 50 and it does not fit, you would have tu buy an adapter. I also have a Nikon D5200 and for that one it fits and works perfectly. I love it and it is exactly what I needed.

    Man, what an all-in-one lens! Great for hikes...

    If you’re not a fan of switching out lenses, this is the lens for you. Most of the time people complain about image quality with these types of wide range zoom lenses, but I’m definitely happy with the clarity and sharpness throughout the zoom range. The lens isn’t too big or heavy either. Makes it great for hiking / biking. It’s also weather and dust resistant which is invaluable in the field. It feels solid in the hand. Tamron really nailed it with this lens. I’ll post a few sample images. Shot with a Nikon D7500...
