Great low cost zoom.

By Rocky Rated 5 out of 5 Date: 2023-01-31

Great low cost alternative to the more expensive option out there. Not the fastest lens but with good light the image quality is excellent. Also it’s very light weight and weather sealed which is a big plus.

High Performing, Light Weight telephoto for Nikon Z

By Mark Rated 5 out of 5 Date: 2022-12-04

I must say that this lens is a gem for Nikon Z shooters. Not as sharp as the 70-200mm f2.8, but much lighter and more manageable, and wonderfully sharp within its sweet spots.

Nikon Z Overpriced

By pablo Rated 2 out of 5 Date: 2022-12-02

Not a bad lens, 1) not clearly better than old Nikon AF-P on FTZ and 2) why is this 50% more than the Sony version that otherwise seem exactly the same? Improve Q or drop $.

The perfect reach and weight for hiking and travel.

By Richard Rated 5 out of 5 Date: 2022-11-15

This lens provides a great value with the focal lengths I use a lot when hiking or traveling. The build quality seems good and it works well with my Sony A7M4. The only down side to this lens is its lack of a zoom lock. It extends when I have it clipped to my backpack or belt.

Everything I wanted in a zoom telephoto lens.

I had been using a Nikkor Z DX 50-250 with my Z6ii. The images were ok, but with the cropped sensor, I wasn’t getting the full capability of the camera. My first use of the Tamron 70-300 was shooting my great-niece’s soccer game. I’m a totally inept sports photographer, but even so this camera/lens combo captured some very good images- bright and sharp subjects, with properly blurred backgrounds. Considering my lack of experience, excellent results from this lens!

Great value for my a6600

By George Rated 5 out of 5 Date: 2022-11-07

I’m looking fwd to using this lightweight lens on my a6600 crop sensor. Seems to be great quality for the dollar.

Good Good Lens

By Guillermo Rated 4 out of 5 Date: 2023-01-07

My first Tamron lens. Can’t beat the price. Have only had it for a few days. Focus is not always spot on but not an issue yet. I’ve not tried it on fast moving objects/sporting events. Using it on a7Riii. Thus far I’m pleased. I’ll follow up later.

Broke fast

By Leland Rated 1 out of 5 Date: 2022-12-23

I’m hoping that this was a one-off issue and I’ll get help, but the lens has stopped focusing at its max zoom after just 6 months. Pretty disappointing for a $500 investment.
