This is a quick look at the first generation Tamron AF28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di VC LD Aspherical [IF] MACRO.
I have some photos from this lens in a gallery here: www.thephotographyhobbyist.com...
This is a good super-zoom with image stabilization for a full frame camera. The Nikon 28-300mm VR lens is certainly better quality overall, but the Nikon version is also much more expensive and heavier. If you need a good quality lens on a budget and very fast/quiet focusing is something you can live without, this is a very good lens to have. The lens is made in Japan.
Video recorded on the Sony a6000 with 16-50mm kit lens.

Cyril Idicula Thank you

Thanks for the video. I lucked out this week and bought this at an estate auction for $11. It was in the original box and didn't have a scratch on it.

@ThePhotographyHobbyist 5 лет назад

Wow. That’s a steal. I’ve always dreamed about finding really high-quality, expensive Nikon lenses at yard sales or something like that. Haha. No such luck yet. I think the glass on these Tamron lenses are pretty good but the only thing I had a genuine complain about was the slow auto focus. The focus motor in that thing is just pretty slow but if you don’t need superfast focusing it’s fine.

I was luckier. Got one at auction for minus $500, that's right, they paid me to take it away. Turned out to be a special anniversary model with gold plated bits. So there.

Thanks for the review and photo links. I just picked up the same kind of deal... never used new in box Canon version on eBay for $200. Hopefully, it works as well as yours. I bought the 2 yr squaretrade warranty for $47 as I think Tamron warranty expired and non authorized reseller. Looks like you really got your money worth. Thanks again for the video!!!

Great Photos!

There were versions of this lens in Nikon F mount with aperture ring. They must be pre-2000s. They should be great for adapting, I have a FUJI X-T10 and using all my old Nikon mount lenses.

@fastfoxshark 3 года назад

great video on this lens. I just bought a used one based on your 6 year old review.

@ThePhotographyHobbyist 3 года назад

Thank you, enjoy the lens. :) I’ve always thought it was really good optically, but just a little slow for auto focus

how dose it works with Nikon D610 camera ? how photos will come

@ThePhotographyHobbyist 7 лет назад

It would work fine on the D610 as well. I've also used it on a Nikon D750.

Hello i want this lens or simmilar 18-200 or 28-300 foe my sony a6000 i need adapter please tell me will it work and which ones can i use. Thank you very much !!!

@ThePhotographyHobbyist 6 лет назад

Bgvolley Sony makes an 18-135 for the E mount. It would be a 27-202 equivalent. They also make an 18-200 which is like 27-300. Tamron also makes an 18-200 for the Sony E mount.

@Bgvolley 6 лет назад

I dont want Sony lenses are expensive for me,i can get cheap those other ones ...

@jac0bpitcher 5 лет назад

How Would it work on a cannon Eos 60D?

@ThePhotographyHobbyist 5 лет назад

Tamron makes a Canon mount version but I believe the 60D is an APS-C size sensor which means the 28-300 full frame lens like this would be a longer focal length....for example, 42-450 or something like that.

@sarabiscruggs9365 8 лет назад

Do you think it is compatible with a Canon EOS Rebel T5?

@ThePhotographyHobbyist 8 лет назад

For a crop sensor camera like the Canon you mentioned, this would be the equivalent lens to the one I show in the video: www.tamron-usa.com/lenses/prod/18200_B018.php#ad-image-0 The 28 to 300 I show in the video is designed for full frame sensor cameras. The 18 to 200 in the link I posted is the equivalent lens for your camera to the 28 to 300 I talk about.

@sarabiscruggs9365 8 лет назад

Thank you so much!

@EDHBlvd 9 лет назад

I'm surprised you wouldn't take the X-T1 with 18-135mm on vacation instead. WR would be useful. I'm certain the Fujinon glass is superior to that old Tamron.

@ThePhotographyHobbyist 9 лет назад

I'm taking both this summer :-). And yes the 18-135 is a better lens in all areas.

@riandhy6018 5 лет назад

comparing to nikon.. which one is more sharper?

@ThePhotographyHobbyist 5 лет назад

Riandhy I have the Nikon version now. The Nikon version is much better overall. Sharp, etc. I love it.

@riandhy6018 5 лет назад

@@ThePhotographyHobbyist i want to buy the mint tamron lens.. will you recommend it..? because its budget lens..especially about sharpness

@ThePhotographyHobbyist 5 лет назад

@@riandhy6018 The Tamron is perfectly fine optically. It's not as good as the Nikon 28-300 but it's still good. The focusing on it is a little slow though and also the VC (image stabilization) is a little slower to engage and noisier, but other than that it's a good lens in general. I think it's actually made in Japan too. I think so...

@LubaLuba1 9 лет назад

is this lens sharp for sports ??????????????

@ThePhotographyHobbyist 9 лет назад

Danny Diet I would say overall it's reasonably sharp for a 'super zoom'. For my purposes, it's perfectly fine and more than acceptable.

@LubaLuba1 9 лет назад

And how does Tamron AF28-300 F3/3.5 -5.6 compares with Tamron SP 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di VC USD Telephoto Lens

@ThePhotographyHobbyist 9 лет назад

Danny Diet I'm not sure. I've never used the 70-300.

@LubaLuba1 9 лет назад

Hooked on Photography is this AF 28-300 f/3.5 6.3 can work on fullframe??

@ThePhotographyHobbyist 9 лет назад

Danny Diet Yes this lens is intended for full frame 35mm cameras. If used on an APS-C body, you'd have to multiply the focal length by 1.5 times.
