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: Got this for D40x , too much CA
Summary: 2 Stars
I waited a whole week with anticipation for this lens. Now after trying for 2 days I'm very disappointed.
I have a Sigma 70-300 for my D70 (which works great) but can't work with my D40x so I ordered the Tamron because I heard it was pretty good. It shoots far and is about the same softness as the Sigma and would be a great lens but the CA (color fringing) is terrible. I live near the ocean and take lots of photos of ocean activities, surfing, canoe races etc. Purple color fringing was a big problem. Had to use photoshop to remove it, too much work.
I have owned Tamron lenses in the past with film SLRs and they were wonderful, but not this one.
Would I recommend this to anyone? Only if they can't or don't want to spend the money for the Nikon 70-300mm. I wish that I would have gotten the Nikon or Sigma with HSM. Which I am now looking into.
So if you want just a basic 70-300mm lens then this will probably work for you.
Description of Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 Di LD Macro Zoom Lens with Built In Motor for Nikon Digital SLR
Tamron now offers a lightweight, compact, high-image-quality telephoto zoom lens with macro capability of 1:2 that can be used with digital cameras. The Tamron AF70-300mm F/4-5.6 LD Macro 1:2 Lens is a Di type lens using an optical system with improved multi-coating designed to function with digital SLR cameras as well as film cameras. With this 70-300mm telephoto zoom lens, flipping a macro switch in the focal length range of 180mm to 300mm obtains a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2 at a minimum focus distance as short as 37.4", enabling close-up shots of flowers, insects, and other objects that normally require the use of a specially designed macro lens. Moreover, this is a zoom lens that casually offers the distant capture and foreshortening effect pleasures of the 300mm ultra-telephoto world. Macro Magnification Ratio - 1 - 2 (at f=300mm MFD 0.95m) Diameter 3.0 x Length 4.6 (76.6 x 116.5mm) Weight - 435 grams (15.3 ounces)Zoom
