Tamron AF 18-250mm F/3.5-6.3 Di-II LD Aspherical (IF) Macro Zoom Lens with Built In Motor for Nikon DSLR


I have used this lens for several months on my Nikon D40. A nice lens! The lens is relatively light in weight (especially compared to the newer Tamron 28-300 VR lens, which my wife has on her Nikon), which makes photography a pleasure. The extended zoom range makes this a good general purpose lens .. ie, in most situations is the only lens you need, especially useful when you travel. The picture quality is excellent, even at extreme zoom against a light background, sometimes I find something darker at the edges (not surprisingly). No lens is perfect, but a function of money, it's not far away.

This breakthrough zoom covers the largest range of all interchangeable lenses for digital SLR photography, an astounding 14x wide-to super-telephoto ratio. It is the 35mm equivalent to a 28-400mm on a APS-C format DSLR. And it focuses down to 0.45m (17.7 ") throughout its range in dramatic close-ups. Remarkably compact and lightweight, its sharpness, resolution and color reproduction superb thanks to special Lowe dispersion (LD) glass, high-tech molded aspherical , the latest multi-coating, and second-generation digital optimization (Di II). This is the most powerful zoom lens on the planet and it literally puts the world at your fingertips, delivering sharp flare-free images of beautiful scenery, sports, nature and intimate close-ups of children . it is the perfect all-in-one lens to travel light and catch the unexpected.
