This is a great lens. I use it with a nikon SLR camera and although I am a beginner in photography, this lens makes it easy to look like a professional. What I like most about this lens is the the feel. The lens is very sturdy and has a rubber piece for easy control. Highly recommend.

Right away I was impressed and disappointed with this camera. The picture quality, when there’s ample lighting, was incredibly sharp. In low lighting, the photo quality gradually degraded as it got dimmer. With this lens, I can take good pictures of people in a small to medium sized auditorium, gymnasium, or a small stadium (compared to my kit lens of up to 55mm).
My major disappointment was this lens is not autofocus compatible with the lower end Nikon DSLRs, such as my D3000. I have to upgrade to a lens with a different type of motor for that function. However, the major trade off is price (literally over $100 difference). Since I love using manual focus on my kit lens, it’s not that bad, but the convenience is nice.
I do recommend this lens to anyone looking for a good deal, but if you own a D3000 or D40 and want auto-focus, you’ll have to pay more.

I bought this Tamron lens for a Nikon D70. I can’t really judge this lens too much because my i have not tried too many Nikon or Nikon based lenses. I needed something on a budget. I read some reviews on different lens ,and it came to trying this one. It’s a good lens for the price. I mean, C’mon, it’s not even sixty dollars. I haven’t found the sweet spot, but so far F8 has been giving me good results. I’m not happy with the results F5.6 and below. Focal 3.5 seems blurrier than F8 most of the time. I don’t know if it’s the lens, or just my lack of skills that is causing it. Probably my lack of skills. Overall, if you need something cheap and simple to carry around this will do ok.

Lens arrived on time with fine packing. The lens so far is doing what I ask it to do. On a few night time shots the light source (Street light) appeared to be star shaped. Like a twinkle but I’m not positive if that’s the lens or not.
I needed a versatile lens for cheap and that’s exactly what I got. I’m happy with it so far.
