Not designed for D5000 auto focus, but then againg, that's a spare body.

other than it doesn't have a motor,the newer version does, I can wear it all day without dealing with the weight on my neck.

other than the auto focus will not work on a lower end dslr like a d5000, the lightness makes ths easy on the neck and the range keeps me going without having to change lenses!

My son who is a professional photographer has used it on occasion and commented on its effectiveness. I use it for family events; general photography. I back up my son on photo shoots where two photographers are helpful. It is a very serviceable peice of equipment.

Great lens to have in your kit.Light weigt yet strong design. Not a great macro lens but nothings perfect still you cant beat that 28-300mm range for the price.

From my research the best option for price and focal range. A dream if it was a fixed 2.8 and still the same size;) but for now this will do

This is a great lens that stays mounted to my D90 most of the time, I use it a lot for wildlife and sports shooting at hockey and soccer games etc. The lens performs very well at the high end without a tripod, a fast shutter speed gets nice clear images. On the low end the lens delivers some nice macro shots of insects and flowers etc. I am very pleased with this lens and the lack of VC doesn't bother me, the only complaint if any is slow focus at times.

I appreciate how quick it focuses as I shoot sports as well as Rodeo with lots of action. I love this lens as it is flexable, shooting close ups as well as getting out there to catch a receiver on the other side of a football field. This lens seems very durable. So far I have not found anything that I do not like about this lens so Kuddos to Tamron Thank You

I just used this lens at a motorcycle race this past weekend... It worked out great! I didnt have to change the lens a bunch of times, between the track and the paddock pictures !!! It was great! and the pictures on the track, look great!

This is my third 28-300 lens and I got rid of the first two. This one is a keeper. I use it almost excusively. I shoot a lot of wildlife pictures and this lens is very sharp.

I shoot mainly wildlife and my farm animals on my farm. I can sit still unobserved at a distance and catch some very interesting actions of the animals, which alot of times are very funny. Also we have a large family and at holidays I get some very candid shots.

Great, for everyday photograph. Light weight and the range eliminates packing that extra len.
