Kompaktes Hochleistungs-Telezoom Objektiv mit Makro 1:2 Funktion. Eine hohe mechanische Qualität kombiniert mit hervorragenden optischen Eigenschaften sind die Hauptmerkmale dieses Teleobjektives. Das neue Objektiv der Di-Generation kann sowohl mit digitalen Spiegelreflexkameras als auch mit analogen Kameras verwendet werden. Ein ′Makro Switchover′ Mechanismus im Brennweitenbereich von 180-300mm ermöglicht eine Naheinstellgrenze von 0,95m. Bei dem maximalen Abbildungsmaßstab von 1:2 können so Objekte einer Größe von ca. 5x7cm formatfüllend abgebildet werden, was das Fotografieren von Blumen, Insekten und ähnlichem ermöglicht.

Review by Dr. J. Mccormick for Tamron AF 70-300mm F4-5.6 Di LD Macro 1:2 Nikon+Motor

The lens itself feels pretty good build quality and for the money, the optics are good too. As other reviewers have rightly pointed out, it is a little bit soft at the longer focal lengths (200-300mm), with some noticeable cyan fringe chromatic abberations. Lets face it, for £130 (or there about) you are not going to get top quality optics. If you are on a budget, as I was, you will not be disappointed with this lens. Just dont expect to be able to take razor sharp images at longer focal lengths with the clarity of a high quality apochromatic “pro” lens. In relatively low light conditions, you will find that the lens “hunts” so you have to switch to manual focus occasionally (esp if you stop down to f/8-f/11 to sharpen up at longer focal lengths). It maybe a touch noisy during auto-focusing but not too intrusive. The lens barrel rotates during focus so using circular-polarising filters can be a little troublesome but this can be overcome by focusing then switching to MF and adjusting your filter.
Pro’s
Good focal length for mid-range nature photography.
Reasonably fast (f/5.6 at 200-300) for a cheap lens
Sharp under 200mm
Light weight
Good build quality
Con’s
slightly soft over 200mm (can be rectified by stopping down to around f/8-f/11) or in CS3 post-production
Some noticable cyan chromatic abberation

This lens:
Does NOT win the title for the best image’s sharpness.
Does NOT win the title for the best macro quality.
Does win the race for the best ALL in ONE value lens.
I am totally happy with this lens, its cheap and effective. Its not the best out there as i said- you should not expect a supreme lens with this price any way!-.
Its effective, nice photos, good macro feature, and good built quality.
I would recommended to any one who is a beginner -like me- and want to do some practice on different aspects of photography (macro and telephoto)before moving on to the serious part where you have to pay at least double the amount for only one of the previous features.
All in all:
Image quality: 3.75/5
Focusing: 3.5/5 (noisy and slow)
Macro feature: 3.75/5
Value: 5/5
A Pro? well, you should not be looking at this lens any way!

At this price it would be unfair to expect perfection and, admittedly, at the 300mm end at wide apertures it’s a bit soft but so are most other brands in this price range. Zooming was a little stiff to start with but soon eased and the macro facility is very good. (What switch kludge?).
Focusing is fast and accurate if just a little noisier than Sony’s own brand and it’s over £15 cheaper. Only the soft focus at 300mm and slightly higher noise level stops me from giving this lens five stars in this price bracket.

This is great, I wouldn’t be without it when using my Canon EOS 450D. I’ve compared this lens with a higher spec yet similar lens. Although there were subtle differences in the results (slightly more natural colours with the other), mostly the pictures were barely noticably from different lenses. So, if like me you love photography, and want a macro/zoom lenz to augment the standard 450D lens, this would be a good choice.

It was with some trepidation that I bought this lens; some of the reviews I’ve read for the lens are not that positive. I decided to buy the lens anyway as I had a good deal on it. I’ve had it for about two weeks now and I’m pretty happy with it. On the positive side I’ve found the macro works pretty well. On a tripod and taking shots of objects at distance the colour and sharpness are pretty acceptable. The major weakness is the dopey auto focus in anything less than a good light. Even in a good light rapid panning causes the lens to hunt. So I wouldn’t recommend this lens if you’re trying to capture action shots. Overall I think the lens represents pretty good value for the money. Just don’t expect to capture a 100m sprint final!
