Product Description
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)

This lens is great for the price.br /br /Are you getting a Nikon 70-300 VR for this kind of money? No. br /br /What you are getting is a lens that is sharp, contrasty, has a good macro mode on it, and costs $130 bux at the time I am posting this... one that will work with your D40/D40x/D60's focusing system.br /br /Is it optically perfect? No. It has some CA, it is not very fast... but good heavens it is sharp, light and well made.br /br /Buy it.

Pese a su bajo precio, tiene muy buena calidad de imagen y es muy liviano, para alguien que quiere un objetivo econmico, con buen alcance o quiere iniciarse en el mundo del macro, esta es la mejor opcin. Ademas es compatible con la D40 y similares, que no traen motor de enfoque en el cuerpo.
 Got this for D40x , too much CA July 21, 2008

I waited a whole week with anticipation for this lens. Now after trying for 2 days I'm very disappointed. br /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.br /I have owned Tamron lenses in the past with film SLRs and they were wonderful, but not this one.br /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.br /So if you want just a basic 70-300mm lens then this will probably work for you.

I would recomend this lens to anyone that needs a longer zoom for their Nikon D40. The motor is a bit loud but, to have one in a lens of this price is great.
Not too bad April 27, 2008

I got this lens for my Nikon D40 and it takes some good shots and some not so good shots, but that is true for a lot of lenses if you don't have a steady hand. But, if you keep a steady hand, you will get good results with this lens. I do have some nice shots of birds and landscapes. br /It all depends on the settings used and the lighting. I've noticed, latley, the lens is acting slow on focusing. I thought mayabe the battery on my D40 was low, but it was indicating full. But, I like the lens enough to use it for my wildlife shots and landscapes. It is great for a budget, like mine. If you are thinking of ordering one, make sure the place you buy from will return it with no problems first incase you don't like it.
