Light weight, excellent all around lens. No lens creep while zooming. Sharp and very versatile lens. Effectively a 28-450 mm lens.

Use this lens as my normal lens. It?s mounted on my camera all the time. I can go from a macro shot to a long shot without changing my lens. Images are sharp as a tack,

Great travel lens. I was able to capture whale watching, open door helicopter tour as well as more normal sightseeing and people watching. Fast and sharp.

This lens did NOT keep up. The focus was constantly off, and it just wouldn't lock at the longer end at all. Big paperweight unfortunately.

Good general lens for travel, product shots with flash, and for fun model shots.

For an inexpensive camera lens, I was very impressed.

Lens is excellent, but lens cap tether was missing. Little thing, but annoying...

This is a great lens and the price is very reasonable. I love it.

A good lens across the entire zoom range. Great for travel as you have a 300 mm lens for those long shots and a 16 mm lens for when you want wide angle.

Have enjoyed this lens for several years. Actually has become my 'go to' lens most of the time. Pics great, no drift when unlocked and has a great range. If the 16-400 is like this, would also be good investment.

I liked the lens initially. It's light weight and fast auto focus. It had some issue with larger focal length, around 270 to 300mm range. But it started malfunctioning within a year and completely stopped working in auto focus more. I'm autofocus mode The lens does not allow the shutter to operate. It's manual focusing is working though.

I was torn between getting the 18-400 or this one and after reading dozens of different reviews I am happy that I choose this lens. It is a great all in one travel lens and does not add a huge amount of weight to the camera,

love it. use it with my Nikon D 7100 camera and it isn't so heavy that I can use it on my waist belt bag when horseback riding.

If you pack and regularly switch lenses, this may not be your best option, as should be expected, sharpness falls off a bit at the near and far limits of this lens. But if you are like me and routinely carry/use one lens to reduce clutter, hassle and weight, this is a wonderful option. I especially appreciate the water-resistance. I shoot a lot from small boats moving fast in salt water.

In full daylight, this is the only lens I use. Simply stated, it's like two kit lenses in one but with a better build.

A very good walk around lens. I believe that this in the only long zoom that is also ultra wide I.E. 16mm. The 2mm between 16mm and 18mm is quite large and very usable. I tried the Nikkor 16-85mm lens and it was very good but cost about twice the cost of this lens. The lens is very sharp from 16mm to 200mm. From 200 to 300 it is still close to excellent and very usable and few will see and difference.

Got good, sharp pictures especially with a tripod at 300mm.

I use this lens on my D7000 and taken approximately 400 images with it to date. I have been favorably impressed with the build quality and image quality. Great walk-around lens.

This is my second Tamron zoom lens. I've been very satisfied with both lenses. Just took it on a 2-week trip to Colorado and got some great shots. The 16 mm to 300 mm zoom capability is great. It's wonderful not having to change lenses, especially when hiking or traveling. I also have a good 2.8 16mm to 50mm zoom which rarely requires a flash I really requires a flash. I tried this lens indoors without a flash and I was disappointed. It's definitely a capable, all-purpose lens. You get what you pay for. What more can you ask.

2nd time I've purchased from ADORAMA. Have found them fair priced, easy to order and quick delivery. Love my newest lens purchase.

This is my first lens of this type. I've only had it about a month, but in that time I haven't been able to use it as much as I hoped (we've had a string of cruddy weather, so I couldn't get out to shoot). Just toodling around my backyard with my dogs- the lens feels good for weight and works well enough. There's some minor stuff I need to get used to when it comes to using a lens this long (at its longest point, that is). The real test will come next month when I use it at the Bristol Renaissance Faire (I'm one of their photographers). I dress up and carry my gear in a basket (which is both nerdy and kind of silly, because I whip out the camera whenever I need to, thereby negating the point of blending in with garb) so the lightweight feel compared to having two or three lenses in my basket was what drew me to this lens. Also- not needing to change it out will come in handy as renaissance faires are notoriously dusty. Do I like the lens? Yes. Would I recommend it? I suppose, but I can't say for sure till the "ultimate test of the ren faire" in July. If I can update this review then, I will.

How nice to get away from three or four lenses and still have quality.

Paired it with the Nikon D500, and so far I'k very impressed; from macro to near the end of the long reach 300mm. The image stabilization seems quite effective.

Seems to perform as well as my previous 18-270. What I like is the extended zoom range and manual focus which is active even during autofocus. The focus ring and zoom ring positions have been reversed. This has been giving me problems since I am used to the old positions. As with the previous version, this is a great lense to take on hikes. You are always ready to photo wildlife.

Like the convience of shooting at different distances without changing lenses. Not overly impressed with shots at 300mm compared to my nikkor 70-300mm. Overall very satisfied

This one lens too the place of a Canon 18~200mm and a Tamron 70~300mm lens. Less in my camera bag is better especially when I fly. No more swapping lenses while on vacation.
