Product Description
Maintaining the high performance of the previous model, Tamron's new 28-300mm zoom lens now features our "Di" design, making it the ideal lens for use with both digital and film cameras. The "Di" design is achieved by applying a new optical design to its coated surfaces, and by further enhancing our already stringent quality control system. Whether you shoot film or digital, the lens provides high image quality for both platforms. When used with APS-C size digital SLR cameras, the lens provides an angle of view equivalent to approximately 44-465mm, covering the standard to ultra telephoto range with no sacrifice of quality or aperture range.

Very nice lens November 13, 2008
It is a very good lens for the price. There's only one thing keeping it from getting five stars - I find the focus to be a little slower than I would like, but for the price it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. Overall, I would buy it again without thinking twice.
Big bang for small bucks November 1, 2008
I was really hesitant to buy this lens since I'm on a major budget after springing for a Nikon D700 but I must say, I am pleasantly surprised. I've had Tamron lenses in the past and never really like their glass but this one - although not the sharpest on the planet, delivers a very, very decent image for a 28-300 zoom lens. I think the FX factor may have something to do with it. It seems the D700 can do no wrong. Of course, it takes a little PS to bring out some real quality, but I tweak everything I shoot anyway. This is a good walkaround lens and seems solid enough for the price and 6 year warranty. Tamron was giving a $50 rebate so I only paid $250 for it. Such a bargain - and with this economy, "BARGAIN" is the key word. I also own a Sigma 12-24 and a Nikon 50mm F1.8. Tack sharp prime but have a feeling this lens may find a semi-permanent home on the D700.

Strengths: This lens gives a very clear picture at 300 even when enlarged. The Macro is outstanding as well.br /Weaknesses: The focus ring has a very cheap feel to it if you are use to the Nikon quality.br /Summary: I am using this lens on my Nikon D80 for all of you who are wondering if it will work on the D80. I was very skeptical that this lens would be such good quality. For the price it is a great value and you will not be disappointed. My wait and see is how it will hold up, but Tamron seems to put a six year warranty behind it so it should last. If you are looking for the Nikon quality lenses this is not for you as you will feel the quality difference in the focus ring. However, if you can pay over $1000 for the Nikon you wont be looking at this anyway.

Once again, another cheap plastic lens from Tamron, including the PLASTIC LENS MOUNT! Save your money and buy the 18-250mm lens for another 100 bucks. You lose a whopping 50mm at the long end, but the optics and build are superior plus a gain on the short end. br /If you don't want to spend that much then consider the Sigma 28-300mm, unfortunatly the optics are a bit less than the Tamron 28-300mm, but the build quality is definitely superior. Of course this review is NOT for the VC version of this lens which is far superior in build and worth another 200 + dollars in price and not available until 2008.
Tamron 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di LD Aspherical Macro Ultra Zoom Digital Lens for Nikon SLR June 26, 2007
Great range, super compact and lightweight produces good images but slow. A nice all-around outdoor travel lens at a good price.
