Tamron - 18-400mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC HLD All-In-One Telephoto Lens for Nikon APS-C DSLR Cameras - black

This is a great lens ---- especially for the price. I bought it for a Nikon camera and have been very happy with the results I've gotten. The two shots I've attached are handheld with VC switched on. The lens seems to be sharpest at around f/8. The lens is very well made and it's not too big or heavy. The zoom and focus rings move smoothly. The only negative I have is with the hood; it seems a little fragile, but that's not a big deal. I own another Tamron lens (70-200mm f/2.8 G2) that I use with my Nikon D850 and it's great too.

This lens is the last lens most people will ever need. Right out of The boxi was as impressed by its sturdy construction and stylish appearance. I’ve already used it on landscapes, wildlife, sports and everyday pictures of my dog . I was very happy with how fast and quiet the auto focus is. It does very well at all focal lengths. This lens will change your life. It’s the best travel lens ever and outstanding general purpose lens. Every camera deserves a lens this good.

for the money - heck yes. I use it with my Nikon d500 and while it is not an FX full frame lens, what it does do is enough. it'll get you by - especially for the price. i was looking to spend $2300 and this will keep me from doing that until I absolutely have to. so yeah. hold it very steady - it may have auto focus but it needs a good grip to turn out anything decent. the zoom function has helped me out a lot so far!

For about the same price as the Nikon 18-300mm this lens is the better buy since it can go 100mm more. But it's actually about 600mm on a crop sensor Nikon which is a plus. I did notice lens distortion at 18mm but that was expected with these type of lens. Overall I'm impressed and very pleased with this.

I've taken a number of test shots with my Nikon D7200 and the results so far are very good except - as expected - out toward 400mm. Photos are sharp form edge to edge from 18mm to over 300mm. And the build seems to be decent. We'll see how it holds up.

Love using just one lens to take pictures up close or zoom a little further. The lens is heavier than my 55mm-200mm, and it will take time to learn as I am an amateur.

Amazing picture quality at far distances..close is not bad either. Well worth the money.

Love the fact that I can still get good pics without changing out lenses.
