Tamron B016 16-300mm F/3.5-6.3 VC PZD Lens -Nikon

This is exactly what I needed from a budget lens, it covers most basis! Like some others have already said, the low light at the top end of the zoom can be a problem, you can probably forget trying to capture anything too fast moving on a high zoom as you will need a relatively low shutter to compensate for the higher f-stop at the top end, or you need good light conditions! But I can’t complain at all! Wish I’d bought it years ago, would have saved me loads of time on changing lenses!

Just what I needed. I had recently returned from holiday and was disappointed with my wildlife shots taken with my Canon 55-270 lens. Not blaming the lens here but the photographer who took the wrong lens on holiday! The official holiday photographer had the Nikon version of this Tamron lens and swore by it for traveling. She was right. I have taken some lovely shots with this lens and now will be taking this very versatile lens on holiday next time. Very pleased with clarity, ease of use and effective drive mechanism.

Let’s get this out of the way first: any superzoom is going to be a lens of compromises. At nearly 19x zoom range, this lens is no exception – it’s not going to compete for image quality with the high-end Canon ‘L’ zooms, many of which are no more than 3x or 4x zoom range.Now that we’ve dealt with that, this is undoubtedly still an excellent lens. I owned the previous Tamron superzoom – the 18-270mm – and this new version offers a significant step up in terms of image quality. It’s a perfect lens to carry around on a small DSLR when travelling and space is at a premium, or for those short trips where photography isn’t the primary goal, but you don’t want to be without a decent camera.Looking at image quality in a little more detail, I’d say this is as good, if not slightly better than the Canon 18-200, but with a much more useful range. It is not quite as good as the newest Canon 18-135, but that’s obviously a much shorter range lens. The Tamron is at its strongest from about 35mm to around 200mm; as one might expect, there is some softness at both extremes of the range. This can be improved by stepping down to f/8, though.In summary, yes, a lens of compromises, but it’s the best balance of compromises I’ve seen in a superzoom to date.

I bought this lens to replace and update a much loved and well used Nikon 18-200mm zoom on a Nikon D7100 camera and after one trip out and 150 photos I am not disappointed. I wanted an all in one travel zoom to sit alongside a Sigma 10-20mm wide angle lens and I’m now wondering whether I really need the Sigma. The 16mm end of the Tamron gives great wide pictures which to my eyes look as sharp and detailed as I could wish but it’s the 300mm availability that I really bought this lens for and I am very impressed. A family trip to the zoo resulted in the best animal shots that I have ever taken. The Elephant in the field gave me a frame filling close up of his eye showing every detail right down to the dried grain of his skin, and the lion sitting 50 yards away gave me a frame filling head and magnificent mane shot, which when converted to black and white, gave me a picture that after 30 years of photography is possibly my favourite (see attached). That’s what this lens is all about – getting the shot. It opens up possibilities that otherwise wouldn’t exist and you know that whatever comes along you will be ready. While others are busy changing lenses and getting sensor dust in the process, you will be snapping away. For the detail obsessives, and I’m probably one, these pictures on a 42 inch HD screen look magnificent. I love this lens, the build quality is great, auto focus quick and accurate, no lens creep, it doesn’t feel heavy and the quality of my pictures so far doesn’t disappoint, oh and no more sensor dust!

Firstly, I fully appreciate that the compromises required to produce a lense of this range at a reasonable price means that it will be seen as flawed by the professional or serious enthusiast with a high end camera. However, from my point of view as an enthusiastic “snapper”.Although it is significantly heavier than the native Canon lenses I was using previously, I am now only carrying one lense rather than an 18 – 55 and 55 – 250, and have a longer range of focal length.I can now get pictures of animals and birds which would have disappeared by the time I had changed lense, whilst the extra 2mm at the wide end is nice for panorama shots when hill walking.Picture quality is perfectly adequate for my needs, being at least as good as and possibly better than the Canon lenses.Autofocus seems quick and accurate.I have taken a number of hand held shots at 300mm in not particularly bright conditions which have no discernable camera shake, so the image stabalisation is clearly effective.

A good lens for travelling as it gives a large range in a single lens.However, the convenience comes at a price as barreling is quite severe and the chromatic aberration is very noticeable. The good news is the issues can easily be rectified using Photoshop. In the mid-range of both aperture and focal length, images are sharp.For some reason, the lens will only autofocus at 300 mm when in Auto. If using any of the PASM settings it will not focus at 300 mm, it’s either a matter of going auto or dropping back to around 270 mm, hence the 4* as opposed to 5*But for light travel and for not having to constantly change lenses it is a price worth paying.
