The Tamron 28-80mm is a wonderful general-purpose, “walk-around” lens for landscapes, group shots, candids, and portraits. Superior aspherical optics provide improved image resolution from edge-to-edge throughout its wide-angle to mid-tele zoom range.

This Vivitar UV Filter is a multi-purpose, fine-weather filter that is designed to optimize your photography experience. UV filters block out unwanted ultraviolet light and prevents the UV “fogging/haze” effect”, which can result in inaccurate color and lower the apparent sharpness. This filter is also ideal for protecting your valuable lens from scratches and dust, and it can be kept on the lens at all times. Perfect for digital, video and photo.
Keep your lens cap securely attached to your lens with the convenient, simple-to-use CapKeeper.

Yet this lens is very compact with an overall length of 43mm (1.7″) and diameter of 68mm (2.7″) and weighs just 227grams (8oz.). Utilizing Tamron’s Adaptall mount, this lens will fit most manual focus cameras with the proper adapter (purchased separately).

To be what you just read in context, I am an accredited photographer and won several awards for my photography. I bought these not-VC Tamron 28-300 mm lens when I bought my Nikon D-100. I was saving on a tight budget and recommend the camera, so I took his advice. Since then I have upgraded my camera to shoot several times especially with a Nikon D3, D300 with a second camera. I also have some Nikon, for a limited number of applications. The problemis a lack of a wide zoom range brand for its opposite Nikon full-frame Nikon FX sensor (such as DX lenses for smaller chips). Although I never used my D100 more, most of my shots are taken with the D3, in combination with my trusty 28-300mm lens Tamrom. It always takes good photos. I made a big mistake a few months ago through the purchase of new Tamron VC version of this lens. The goal is a disaster. After missing several shots at my daughter just graduated fromfocus lens (and not instead of hunting up and down), I have the lens back to the store – only to learn that other shooters had their Tamron 28-300mm VC returned. Another of my fellow journalists, he returned for the same reason. It 'still angry that he has an opportunity, a bonus of $ 300 on a Nikon D300 camera and lens combination buying jumped because he wanted to buy only the camera lens and the Tamron VC instead.
These non-VC Nikon Tamron 28-300mm Lens Mountis great if you have light or need to travel with one camera, a lens. Has a great range of zoom and auto focus well. Note that there are some models not Nikon, this lens is focused automatically, so be sure to check the application before ordering one.
Of course, this lens is not great, even in low light conditions with older cameras, but Nikon's latest (including D3, D300, D700 and others) have excellent low light sensitivity, so that the lens "of low lightThe skills are not as important. Just place the camera bodies in their modes of self-ISO, add the Tamron and you'll be good to go for most situations. With a relatively high shutter speeds, my Nikon D3 and my Tamron aging, I was able to shoot sharp shots from a motorcycle stunt show jumping outside the Palms Hotel (Las Vegas) in the night during the recent SEMA Show. The motion, as it blew up, were lit only by a few lights. The resultswere amazing.
I asked several times to repeat these Nikon lenses by Nikon for use with its new, full-frame cameras (D3 and D700). I say they can not make a will, at a price low enough that people would be willing to sell to pay. Go figure. Maybe one day we will feel and how to make a Nikon lens available. In the meantime, especially since there is now a $ 50 discount on this Tamron, I am tempted to another, because if this (or any) to buy out my door now.

The new telephoto zoom from Tamron, designed exclusively for digital SLR cameras, is ideal for anyone who wants to capture truly dynamic telephoto images. It goes far beyond the capabilities of the standard zoom that comes with a digital SLR camera. Ideal for photos of family fun, sport events, scenery, and portraiture, the lens naturally creates a out-of-focus background that emphasizes the main subject of your photo.

I have recently purchased a Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 VC, and subsequently a Nikkor 17-55mm f2.8.
I think the Tamron is a very sharp lens in its own right, especially when you use a smaller aperture. At the largest aperture of f2.8, however, I think the Tamron is a bit softer when compared to the Nikkor counterpart. Also, Tamron is a bit slower in a low light situation and a bit noisier with the VC. Furthermore, Tamron doesn’t appear to be weather sealed, but the Nikkor is. The Tamron has a VC, while the Nikkor doesn’t.
If you don’t plan to spend 00 or so for a lens but are still looking for something sharp and fast, Tamron would be the perfect affordable substitute. However, if budget is not an issue, and you want to be able to use the largest aperture in a low light condition and still producing the sharpest images, and that weather seal is important to you, then Nikkor would be recommended.
I decided to keep both lenses, though the Tamron will be used primarily by my wife with her Nikon D90 due to the lighter weight, while I will use the Nikkor with my Nikon D300S.
Tamron’s new SP AF 17-50mm F/ 2.8 acts RDI II VC covers the heavily used 17-50 MM focal distance range (angle of view equivalent of 26-78 MM when converted to the full frame format) making it an extremely versatile, high performance zoom lens. Achieving sharpness and striking contrast, the lens produces beautiful images that are enhanced by the shallow depth of field afforded by the maximum aperture F/2.8 and enriches the user’s range of photographic expression. The new lenses equipped with Tamron’s proprietary vibration compensation (VC) image stabilization mechanism, which provides more opportunities for handheld photography, such as low light conditions like evening, night scenes and indoors, leading to dramatically enhanced level of photographic freedom. Technical specifications: focal length 17 – 50 MM: format size APS – C: maximum aperture F/2.8; minimum aperture F/ 32; diagonal angle of view 78 degree and 45 minute – 31 degree and 11 minute; lens construction 19 elements, 14 groups; minimum focusing distance 11.4-Inch (0.29m); maximum magnification ratio 1:4 0.8; filter diameter 72 mm; overall length 3.7 inches maximum diameter 3.13 inches; weight 20.15oz. 570g; diaphragm blades-seven; standard accessory flower shaped lens hood; Nikon mount.
Its a good lens optically but does not work when cold – B. Smith – Denver
This is a very good lens optically. It is extremely sharp and the VC seems to work very well. Its construction is ok. It is well build but mostly plastic.
It does have two flaws. The first is that if the lens is just slightly rotated while mounted on my D90 I get the “E—” Error indicating that the electrical contacts are not communicating with the camera. I have had this with other third party lenses.
The other more serious flaw is that this lens will NOT WORK below about 20 degrees F. I have had this failure every time I take it out in the cold. As I do a lot of mountaineering and hiking this is a serious flaw. When I press the shutter release nothing at all happens. No focus, no mirror slap, no sound. Nothing.
Sometimes I might get a shot or two out and then it goes back to its “inert” behavior. My Nikon D90 works fine with any other lens in very cold temps. It just does not work with this Tamron.
This seems to be a characteristic of this particular lens as I have seen other posts on it. I sent the lens in to Tamron for service and they found no issue but wrote back, “The minimum operational temperature is 23 degrees F.” However, this limitation is NOT stated anywhere in the literature for this lens.
As long as you will be using this lens where it is relatively warm I can recommend it.
very good walk around lens – rubyrudi – Mississippi,USA
I have only had this lens for about 3 months and I have used it a lot. I just used it in Amsterdam at night walking around with out a tripod. Very good, better than I expected. I have a canon 20d.
A premium lens, for a price – L. G. Rozas –
Some time ago, i bought a tamron 28-75, wich it is an excellent lens, but i really need vibration control, i have shaky hand, for that, i decided buy the new 17-50.
This lens is really really sharp, at any focal lenght, even wide open. the vibration control is fantastic, very usefull at 30mm and beyond. the colors, same nice warm colors than tamron 28-75.
I read that focus speed was improved from the older model, i cant say anything about that,but i have noticed that focus + vc is little bit too noisy.
I really recomend this lens, it will not leave mi camera for a long long time.
