Tamron calls this the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II VC LD Aspherical (IF). This lens seems as if it ought to work with very old 1.6x cameras that aren't EF-S compatible, but I didn't try any myself.

I've only tried it on a Nikon D7000, on which it works swell.Įverything should work perfectly on every DX digital Nikon, even on Nikon's cheapest digitals like the D40, D40x, D60, D3000, D3100 and D5000. All because this lens ought to work, doesn't mean that it will. When I say "ought to" below, I mean just that. Canon and Nikon lenses don't have this potential for problems. While it probably will work with your camera, there's no telling that there won't be some weird incompatibility, and there is always the possibility of incompatibility with future cameras you might buy two years from today. Warning: this lens is made completely without permission from Nikon or Canon.
#TAMRON OBJEKTIV TEST PROFESSIONAL#
You can't just grab the focus ring at any time, as you can do with the professional Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8 DX and Canon's 17-55mm f/2.8 IS.
#TAMRON OBJEKTIV TEST MANUAL#
This Tamron's other drawback is its primitive (noisy) internal autofocus motor, and that it uses a primitive AF system that requires you move a switch to get from auto to manual focus. If you don't, and if you shoot at a moment's notice, the VC system will blur many of your shots! Therefore, this is a horrible lens for news, sport, action and people shots unless you turn off the VR/IS/VC system. This blurred a lot of shots for me before I figured this out. If you snap a photo without waiting for the VC/VR/IS system to settle, it will blur your image worse than if you had no VC, VR or IS! This is because this Tamron's VC system jumps as it locks and unlocks, so if you don't wait a moment with your finger half on the shutter for it to settle, it will blur your photo in the process of settling! Nikon's VR and Canon's IS systems don't have this problem. There is a huge flaw if you make a photo before waiting a second for it to settle down. This Tamron's VR/IS/VC system works only if you have the time to wait a moment before you snap each and every photo.

It works reasonably well - with one big catch: If you're considering this mostly plastic lens, go for it. I'm not a fan of midrange zooms, but I must be the only one on earth who isn't. I prefer my $200 Nikon 35mm f/1.8 DX, which is sharper, faster, smaller, lighter, focuses faster, easier and quieter, and is much less expensive. This $600 Tamron has surprisingly good optics, but problems with its VC (VR or IS) and AF systems get in the way of good pictures. Not for grab-shots with VC turned on.īuy from Adorama, Amazon, Ritz, B&H, Calumet and J&R. Unlike many non-Nikon lenses like Tokina and other Tamrons, this particular Tamron should works great on Nikon's cheapest D40, D40x, D60, D3000, D3100 and D5000. Ideal Uses: Perfect for use on amateur digital ( Nikon DX and Canon 1.6x) cameras as a general-purpose medium zoom. Thank you! Ken.įebruary 2011 Tamron Reviews Nikon Canon All Reviews
