Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 Di LD Macro Zoom Lens with Built In Motor for Nikon Digital SLR
Customer Review: Great macro zoom for my D90
Summary: 5 Stars
I gifted myself a Nikon D90 this past Christmas and also bought 2 lens in addition to the kit 20-105mm lens. One lens was a Nikon 50mm f/1.8 and the second extra lens was the Tamron 70-300mm lens. I got it from Amazon for about $165. The main reason that I got it was because I really didn't know anything about the different zoom lens, but I wanted one and this one was really cheap. To my very pleasant surprise, I have loved this lens. It really seems very sharp to me. I'm not an expert in photography, far from it. It is light, it focuses fast enough for me, and certainly accurate enough. AND, it only cost $165!! I am still searching for the "best" zoom lens for me and have tried several: Sigmas, Tokina, and Nikon. So far, this little and inexpensive Tamron has been ideal for me. And I love having the macro capability. Unless you really are going to be shooting close up big stuff, the lens is a good walking around lens. Take it to the zoo; it's perfect. Because it was so inexpensive (notice I didn't say--cheap), I don't mind taking it out in bad/rainy weather. Sure I try and keep it dry, along with the Nikon D90 body, but if something happens to it, I am only out $165. Not some $1600 for a fancy Nikon zoom, that won't have the macro feature. Right now, it works for me. I DO want something longer; at least 400mm, if not 500, but now, it's great.
