Tamron's Di lenses featuring optical systems for use with both digital and film cameras have been highly evaluated by users around the world since the introduction of the first Di lens, SP AF28-75mm F/2.8 (Model A09), in 2003.  Many users strongly suggested that Tamron make the existing non-SP high power and compact 28-300mm lens they are using with their film cameras available in the Di design in order to realize the same convenience and quality images with digital cameras.  Tamron has redesigned the conventional AF28-300mm zoom (A06) to feature the Di design in order to meet the demand of those photographers.  Main Features:  High Image Quality by Virtue of Di (Digitally Integrated) Design:  &#149; The "Di" design is achieved by first improving our BBAR coatings to a new multi-coating that encompasses all of the benefits of the original but now further reduces the ghosting and flare caused by aberrations, and secondly by further enhancing our already stringent quality control system.  The new AF28-300mm Di is redesigned as a high power zoom lens now ideal for use with interchangeable-lens digital cameras as well as film cameras.  Changes  1. Improved Coating:  &#149; Newly developed Multi-coating ideal for digital imaging to reduce ghosting and flare caused by aberrations and to increase contrast  2. Enhanced Quality Control:  &#149; Ensure mechanical and and optical meet new standard  3. Exterior design:  &#149; Di logo on zoom rings  Same Convenience and Compactness:  &#149; The amazing changes in angles of view of a 10.7x zoom lens are now available foryour digital SLR camera. This opens up a completely new horizon when combined with the fundamental attraction of digital SLR cameras; the possibility of confirming the quality or composition of captured images on the spot and the capability to allow the manipulation of images with a computer.  The new AF28-300mm Di enables photographers to enjoy the convenience of the high power zoom lens with digital SLR cameras, while offering the same compactness as that of the previous model designed primarily for film cameras.  Ideal for Use with Conventional Film Cameras As Well:  &#149; The new AF28-300mm Di can be used with both digital SLR cameras and conventional35mm AF-SLR film cameras. It provides an impressive angle of view equivalent to that of approx. 465mm ultra telephoto when used with a digital camera and enables you to enjoy creative composition of images at the 28mm wideangle setting when used with a 35mm film camera.

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

all that range and it's feather light!

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.

Nice and light

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!

REALLY light weight

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.

First Among Equals

a lot of lens without having to take the time to switch!

From W I D E enough to narrow enough

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.

Great for the casual shooter

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

Not So Bad! Good All around Travel Lens

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.

Great walkaround lens

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

Afordable with quality nice combination

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!

Great Lens!

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.

This is a very good lens.

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.

The best lens I have ever used.

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