Spanning a versatile and long-reaching focal length range, the Nikon F-mount SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 from Tamron is a 4x zoom covering telephoto to super telephoto perspectives. Complementing the long reach is an optimized optical design that features three low dispersion (LD) glass elements to reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing throughout the zoom range. EBAND and BBAR coatings have also been applied to reduce ghosting and flare when working in strong, backlit lighting conditions.

Conventional zoom lock is also featured to prevent barrel extension during transport.
Hi everyone, I have just bought a Tamron SP 70-300mm f4-5.6 Di VC USD to use with my Nikon D5000 and am unhappy with the results. Sorry for the shaky cam, I need a tripod with that macro lens! Taken with Nikon D5000 & Tamron 70-300mm lens.
Suiting handheld shooting situations, Vibration Compensation (VC) is a 4.5-stop-effective image stabilization mechanism that helps to reduce the appearance of camera shake for sharper results when working with slower shutter speeds. A ring-type Ultrasonic Silent Drive (USD) autofocus motor delivers notably quick and accurate focusing performance to suit working with fast-moving subjects, and full-time manual focus is also supported for fine-tuned control. Benefitting its use outdoors, the lens also features a moisture-resistant construction along with a fluorine-coated front element to guard against dirt, dust, moisture, and smudging from affecting image quality. The ergonomic and durable metal construction of the lens also incorporates textured focus and zoom rings, and a removable, rotating tripod collar with an Arca-type compatible foot is supplied to better enable shooting from tripods and monopods. VC image stabilization helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake by up to 4.5 stops for more effective handheld shooting in difficult lighting conditions.
Three separate VC modes are also available to suit various styles of shooting: Mode 1 is a balanced setting for general use, and promotes both a stabilized viewfinder image and stabilized results; Mode 2 is designed exclusively for panning movements; and Mode 3 is optimized to stabilize only during capture without stabilizing the viewfinder image. An electromagnetic diaphragm is used for more precise and consistent exposure control, especially when shooting at high continuous shooting rates. Due to this unique design, this lens is only compatible with select Nikon F-mount cameras that support an electromagnetic diaphragm, including the D3100, D3200, D3300, D3400, D5000, D5100, D5200, D5300, D5500, D5600, D7000, D7100, D7200, D7500, D300, D300s, D600, D610, D700, D750, D800, D800E, D810, D810A, D850, D3x, D3s, D4, D4s, Df, D500, and D5 DSLRs.
I tried out 3 lens 55-300, 70-300 VR and 70-300 VC,and I am happy with tammy 70-300 VC, the 300mm is sharper and the VC is amazingly good. 1/30 @ 300mm no problem!focusing is fast and dead on.70-300 VR does have warmer color on the lens, while tammy is cooler color.sharpness.
Tammy is sharper @ 300mm.I end up keeping the tammy. 55-300 is disappointing, the VR is not even working in my copy, 1/125 will give me shaky image even VR is on.-adavefootball123wrote:Which of these lenses would you guys reccomend.
I hear the new Tamron is good, but is it as good as the Nikon. 007peterwrote:alien3333wrote:I tried out 3 lens 55-300, 70-300 VR and 70-300 VC,I end up keeping the tammy. 55-300 is disappointing, the VR is not even working in my copy, 1/125 will give me shaky image even VR is on.How much FASTER is theRing-Type USMon Tamron (USD) feel over Nikkor 55-300mm slowerMicro-USMDOES ANYONE KNOW IF NIKON 70-300g IS A 'Ring-Type' USM lens or just another slow Micro-USM motor like 55-300mm and 55-200mm VR before?From the review I read on the Tamron, it seems like the AF should be fast. They say the focus ring has 180 degrees of travel, and that it makes it a bit hard to manually focus sometimes because the range is so narrow. I've got one in hand that just arrived, so I should have a good understanding of it by tomorrow night. Our local dog park makes a great testing ground for sports photography. 007peterwrote:alien3333wrote:I tried out 3 lens 55-300, 70-300 VR and 70-300 VC,I end up keeping the tammy.
The motor is great like Canon USM.of course I cannot compare the AF experience of 135 f/2 L lens of Canon.I keep the tamron also because the 70mm is f/4-a007peterwrote:alien3333wrote:I tried out 3 lens 55-300, 70-300 VR and 70-300 VC,I end up keeping the tammy. 55-300 is disappointing, the VR is not even working in my copy, 1/125 will give me shaky image even VR is on.How much FASTER is theRing-Type USMon Tamron (USD) feel over Nikkor 55-300mm slowerMicro-USMDOES ANYONE KNOW IF NIKON 70-300g IS A 'Ring-Type' USM lens or just another slow Micro-USM motor like 55-300mm and 55-200mm VR before? Actually, ephotozine never rated or compared the two.
They have no Nikon 70-300 review that I can find.Here are some reviews from Popular Photography. In my opinion from 135mm to 300mm the Tamron simply is lacking in sharpness. I would not buy it over the Nikon and the prices are fairly close.GrahamDwrote:I'd be interested to know which reports you are referring to.

In my opinion from 135mm to 300mm the Tamron simply is lacking in sharpness. I would not buy it over the Nikon and the prices are fairly close.Well, I currently have both, and the Tamron is superior in sharpness at the far end, even when the Nikon is stopped down and the Tamron is wide open.About 50 yards distance. Shutter speeds and ISO standardized between the two lenses, only variable was aperture. Focus point is on the left portion of the railing.
100% crop from the center of the frame at 300mm FL on a D5000. All shutter speeds were 1/80s. Tripod mounted, VR/VC off.About 2/3-3/4 of a mile. Shutter speeds and ISO standardized between the two lenses, only variable was aperture.
Focus point is on the left portion of the house. 100% crop from the center of the frame at 300mm FL on a D5000. All shutter speeds 1/800s.
Tripod mounted, VR/VC off. The VC is just better than VR in my test samples, I don't like 3rd party lens at all.But this time, the Tamron does win in the VC. But the nikon one really has warmer color on the optics, and sharpness is better at 300mm in the Tammy one.I never consider price, because I can get the VR for 350$ while the tammy I paid for 400$ after rebate. So nothing related to pricealso f/4 @ 70mm is very great too-aSteve Binghamwrote:Actually, ephotozine never rated or compared the two.

I don't know about the Tamron, but here is what SLRgear said avout the Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 ED-IF AF-S VR:Sharpness'From 70 to about 135mm, this lens is sharp, sharp, sharp, even when shot wide open. It softens a bit at 200mm, and becomes progressively more so as you proceed to 300mm. It's never awful though, and it's a good deal more than passable at 300mm and f/8.' Conclusion'This lens really surprised us.
At a street price of $500 for a 70-300mm with VR built in, we figured Nikon would have had to cut corners someplace to hit the price point. Other than the slight softness and rather high CA from 200-300mm though, the performance of the 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom Nikkor (yeesh, that's a mouthful) was really excellent. And build quality, AF speed and accuracy and overall handling were excellent as well. Oh - I almost forgot a minor bonus for owners of Nikon's excellent 18-70mm kit zoom: This 70-300mm takes the same 67mm filter size as the 18-70mm, so you can use all the same front-element attachments on it.
(Polarizers, ND filters, etc.) All in all, this is a really great tele zoom - In fact, I think one of these is going to be on my short list next Christmas!' -SLRgear.comYou can read the whole review here:I bought the Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 with the D7000 and got an instant rebate of $200, so it was a no-brainer to get the Nikon.
You also might want to find out if the Tamron works with Live View contrast detection AF. The Nikon does.Best regards,Jon.
