Awesome Lens Review by Herman
Price Value Quality I purchased this lens about a week ago.
I have had my Nikon 18-200 VR lens since the days of my Nikon D200, then D300 and now D7000. I still use all my cameras with various lenses. The biggest challenge I have is when going on holiday. I am tempted to take far too many lenses. So I always look our for better reach in one lens. (I love wild life photography)
Digital Depot invited me to come and take comparative shots with my 18-200 Nikkor versus the 18-270 Tamron PZD.
The essence, no comparison! The Tamron is absolutely superb!! Much better colour, much better definition and amazing fast focus. Needless to say, I purchased it and probably took about 700 pics the last 5 days. Results...amazing!!
For the price (actually ignore the price), for the size, for the weight, this lens is awesome. I have prime lenses (all Nikon...35mm F1.8, 50mm F1.8 x 2, 105mm Micro) and tele's (Sigma 10-20, Nikon 70-300 VR, Sigma 50-500) and and a hand full of other Nikon lenses from my 35mm film days.
I mention this simply to tell you that I compare it to many lenses. I have only used it on my Nikon D7000 so far....I can actually dump my other Nikons...this camera is another story! ... for another day)
I can recommend this lens without a blink of an eye. It is brilliant! A true lens to permanently stay on your DSLR and only take it off when you really need another lens for a very specific effect.
(I am a very enthusiastic prosumer photographer - for those who are curious)
