Perfect for starters

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2024

I’m not a pro photographer, and I was searching for a budget-friendly option with a good focus range. I came across this lens. At first glance, it may not have crystal-clear sharpness, but overall, it gets the job done. It’s among the best lenses in this price range. Being plastic, it’s lightweight. I recommend giving it a try; it won’t disappoint you, but don’t expect miracles.

Might be used/reconditioned or certainly of very dubious origins. Be cautious!

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2024

I'm very suspicious of this product - from this specific vendor, based on the packaging and Chinese point of origin, I strongly suspect it is used or reconditioned. It seems to function okay - I realize this is very much a budget item - and I took a risk. Time will tell, but be aware there are some oddities with this offering. Time will tell - but be cautious, you do indeed pay for what you get.

An update - fairly awful product, do not buy.

Nice lens

I like that ability to zoom with the lens. Focus is a little slow for sports. But for the price it’s a good lens.

Wow! Great Lens

Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2023

I’m amazed by the quality of this lens—especially for the price. I compared it to my Nikkor Z 24-200mm lens(over the 70-200mm range) and the Tamron was as sharp or sharper in every case. The 24-200 Nikkor is not an S lens, but it’s a very good lens. The Tamron focuses quickly and accurately. I have the Nikkor Z 100-400 lens and love it (unfortunately I’m traveling and don’t have it with me so I haven’t compared picture quality between it and the Tamron). However, the Z 100-400 mm weighs almost 3 pounds. The Tamron is only 300 mm maximum but also just over 1 pound. I’m 77 years old, so the weight difference is important. For most photos in the 100+ range, the Tamron is my go to lens.

Incredibly Powerful Lens for Enthusiast

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2023

Verified Purchase

For those of us who are "serious hobbyists" this is, without a doubt, a perfect zoom lens. For a Z-mount lens, the price is fantastic compared to similar options currently available. Yes, it's a variable F-stop up to 6.3, which could potentially be a frustration when zooming to 300 mm in very low light situations. But how common is that, honestly? For me personally, that's a rare scenario. I'm extremely impressed with the clarity across the entire focal range, and the autofocus speed is solid as well. Highly recommended!

Great Lens for the Non-professional

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2022

Verified Purchase

During a recent photo trip I had the opportunity to compare the results of my Z6 and this lens with a top-of-the-line Nikon Z camera/lens. My system held up very well side to side. Add to that the size, weight and cost of this lens makes it a great choice.

Sharp through most of its range but embarrassingly soft in distant/infinity shots @ 200 - 300mm

Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2023

Verified Purchase

I have owned two copies and both suggest quality control issues at Tamron. The first was purchased from a different retailer and was definitely shipped new, but had a Sony mount lens in the Nikon box. This Amazon copy is almost a winner, matching the Nikkor Z 24-120 f4 in its overlapping range and doing well a bit north of 200mm. It is so bad above that point through to 300mm as to be embarrassing. Quite frankly, cropping Z 24-120 to 400% yields a sharper result than the Tamron at less than 100%. In fact, digital zoom on an iPhone looks better as well. It is the worst I have seen in more than a decade. I know this is not everyone's experience and that is part of the problem. I have tried two and neither should have gotten out of the factory. Keep this in mind before dropping your money.

Great 70-300mm Lens for my Nikon Z6

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2023

Verified Purchase

I bought this lens to add to my Nikon Z24-200 lens when I travel on photography-oriented trips. It's nice to have the extra reach to get in on close stuff with on my Nikon Z6. I have Tamron lenes ... I currently use on my Nikon D500. With the transition to Nikon Mirrorless cameras ... the Tamron 70-300 lens works great for me on my Z6 as a photo enthusiast.

Great for Nikon Z6ii

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2023

Verified Purchase

I am an amateur photographer who has used SLR and DSLR cameras for decades. I bought this Tamron lens for my Nikon Z6ii DSLR camera so I could have a 300mm telephoto zoom lens without paying Nikon a fortune for their version. It works great -- lightweight, small, good range, good photos. I am happy with it.
