Nikon SLR Lenses

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. This new 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.
Customer Review: For the price, this is a 5-star lens!!!
From 70-200mm, my sample of the Tamron 70-300mm Di zoom lens is markedly sharper than a Nikon 55-200mm VR lens that I owned and then sold, based on comparisons done with a 10 MP Nikon D60 DSLR camera. Indeed, from 70-200mm, the Tamron lens is quite sharp, period. It’s clearly softer at 300mm, based on images viewed at 100% magnification on a 24″ computer monitor, but when viewed at 50% magnification (closer to relative default print size), 300mm images look fantastic. More importantly, at 300mm it produces images that print with excellent resolution at 11×16″.

Customer Review: I’m a prime kind of girl…
In my bag of camera tricks, I have 3 prime lenses, and this lens is by far on my camera the most.
I shoot with a Nikon D80, and this lens compliments my camera very well. The macro is amazing, and ultra sharp; but I also love what it can do for portraits. I recently did some family portraits with this lens, and they turned out beautifully!
It might be pricey, but it is so worth it. I promise you wont be disappointed!
Customer Review: Great macro for the price
I am a beginner to DSLR and wanted to play with macro photography, and am really pleased with the results of this lens–crisp, light-weight, economic, and reliable. I manual focus on such intricate shots as reflections on water drops and have never been disappointed with the results. I would recommend this lens for beginners or intermediate hobbyists.

Customer Review: Great lens but…
I bought a Tokina 10-17 mm and started shooting with it. I liked it but I felt it was not sharp enough and I heard about the colour aberrations.
Therefore I went to bring it back to B&H and I upgraded with the Nikkor 10.5
This is absolutetly more sharp and fast. The only two things that I found bad are:
1) the lens is much more difficult to keep clean than the Tokina’s one;
2) why the hell Nikon decided to produce expensive lenses like the Wideangle 12-24 mm and this Fisheye in crappy plastic?! For keeping down their weight? Fck the weight issue and give me some old time, long lasting great metal body lenses!!!!
Customer Review: Lovin’ my fish-eye (wide-angle lens)
I am thrilled that I received my fish eye lens in time for our cruise through the Caribbean last week. I love it! It is of excellent quality. I only wish it could do some zooming, but that contradicts the wide-angle bit, I suppose. I shot beautiful island/ocean scenes; great, wide sunsets; captured full rooms of people; captured the length of the ship. And if you crop the top and bottom, you get a great landscape photo (wide but not tall). I highly recommend this to photography enthusiasts.

Other features include a super multilayer lens coating that reduces flare and ghosting, a minimum focusing distance of 17.7 inches, and a maximum magnification of 1:7.4. As with all Sigma lenses, this 50mm lens carries a one-year warranty.

Customer Review: Great quality - liked better than the Canon
I purchased both of the lenses and took pictures to compare the two side by side — I liked the looks of the Sigma lens better.
Customer Review: backfocus problem
I received the lens and returned it the next day, because it has a very serious backfocus problem. Sigma really needs to solve this problem. We had a high hope on this lens, however, the experience is disappointing.

Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 DC HSM Macro Lens for Nikon DSLR Sigma’s 17-70mm DC macro lens is an ideal large-aperture standard zoom lens for Nikon digital SLR cameras with APS-C size image sensors, making it suitable for a wide variety of subjects. The lens offers a minimum focusing distance of 7.9 inches throughout the entire zoom range, along with a maximum magnification of 1:2.3 for close-up macro photography. The new lens design and multilayer lens coating, meanwhile, reduce flare and ghosting–a common problem with many digital cameras. Add in a Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass element and two aspherical lens elements and you have a lens that can correct all types of aberrations while producing a high level of optical performance at every interval.

The lens also offers a large aperture of F2.8 at the 17mm wide-angle setting, yet is notably compact, with an overall length of 3.2 inches and a diameter of 3.1 inches. Plus, it performs superbly even in relatively low-light conditions, such as indoors or at dusk. Users will also appreciate the inner focusing system, which provides a fast autofocus speed while preventing the front of the lens from rotating, making it particularly suitable for use with circular polarizing filters and petal-shaped lens hoods. Also equipped with a zoom lock switch that eliminates “zoom creep” during transport, the lens weighs 16 ounces and carries a one-year warranty.
Customer Review: To return, or not to return? In any case, not yet thrilled.
Hopefully after working a bit more with this lens, I will come back here and update this review in a positive light. But for now, having just got the lens and taking only a handful of pictures, I am hesitant. I am almost disappointed, only not quite sure yet.

Customer Review: nikon d60 outfit
After using a point and shoot camera for years I decided it was time for an upgrade and thats why I bought the Nikon d60. Its a great slr camera for the money. Light weight and very easy to use . Takes really nice pictures. The only thing one should consider is a choice when it come to a lens and that depends what you are going to use the camera for. The 18-55mm comes with the camera I recommend the 70-300mm if you need the extra zoom for sporting events. Theres alot you can do with this camera and once again great for the money.

Customer Review: Solid lens, expensive, NO LENS Pouch!
The bad:

Major dissapointment not to have a lens bag, Nikon went cheap on this one.

The lens hood is metal and screw style mount, it is a hassle. You got to be very careful as it is metal to metal threads, so you better screw it in right to prevent permanent damage.

I bought it from Adorama and had no tamper seal, so keep an eye on that…
