  • Best single lens out there for the money by far (assuming a sub $1K budget)
Set: w/ 72mm UV Protection Filter
I have been using Nikon DSLRs since their very first one (the D50). While each generation of camera gets better, the truth is that the LENS is the most important thing. And it is hard to find a versatile lens that can meet most needs for normal consumer use. But this is the one lens to rule them all, at least for me. I have truly been able to use JUST this lens on multiple vacations since buying it, and it is good enough for 95% of the photos I take ... the zoom capability and sharpness is absolutely incredible, plus the auto-focus is super fast. And considering how much zoom a 400mm gets you, it is almost shocking to me how much panorama you can squeeze in with this one lens. I still keep one extra panoramic lens handy in the car "just in case" there is an incredible wide-angle shot I want, but for hiking or just having the camera "on the ready" in case a bear cub walks into view, this is THE go-to camera lens for me. Not "cheap", but considering you are really getting one single unit that can cover so much ground, this is a bargain lens and completely worth the money (honestly I would have been happy to find this quality at the $1K price point). Yes, I love it! ... show more

  • AN WONDERFUL LENS THAT COVERS MANY,MANY LENSES (18mm TO 400mm)!!! AN WONDERFUL LENS THAT COVERS MANY,MANY LENSES (18mm TO 400mm)!!!
Set: Tamron 18-400mm Zoom Only
This is THE BEST LENS I have ever had. I bought one some years ago and LIKE IT SO MUCH that I bought this one. Thank GOD, I got it because it has been discontinued. I have been in NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY for DECADES and so have quite a few lenses, BUT NONE with the incredible range of 18mm to 400mm!!! It is VERY SHARP. Being in Nature Photography of course I have a more powerful lens ,but not with this range. The lens focuses think to about 18 inches which is GREAT AT 400mm for small subjects. I HOPE you can get a new one somewhere or at least one renewed!!! ... show more

  • In my opinion, the best aftermarket lens I've used bar none!
Set: Tamron 18-400mm Zoom Only
I shopped high and low for a single lens to fulfill my needs with my new digital camera. The reason for single lens is because I do bicycle touring. Weight restrictions are paramount when bicycle touring. You're limited on what you can carry with you. I wanted a lens that could go from wide angle to telephoto for my use in architectural as well as "scenic" pictures. Anyone who's shopped for a zoom lens knows there are many brands and many ranges of zoom. Narrowing it down wasn't easy. My final selection was based on widest range, quality, quietness, and the ability to mate up with my new Nikon Z5 camera with full capabilities. As aftermarket goes, there are a few names I trust. Sigma and Tokina didn't have the widest range. I'd have to carry two lenses instead of one. Tamron was the best choice. Their website was crucial in the decision. It made sure of what I had to have for full functionality. The autofocus on this lens is fantastically quiet from it's widest to it's longest setting. Like all lenses of this kind there is a bit of lag when changing focal length. However it's almost too quiet in it's operation. Between the camera and the lens, the pictures will be excellent. Any issues can easily be resolved with good photo editing software of my choice. ... show more

  • Great Images awesome lens' Sensitive at the long end Great Images awesome lens' Sensitive at the long end
Set: Tamron 18-400mm Zoom Only
I was going to return this Lens On the 29th day from the sale date after 29 days of Image testing with Nikon D7200 and D500. I decided to test My issue once more before the return' As anyone can see I am acquiring awesome Images at the short end of the lens' Night photography with on board flash from the D7200 and speed flash photography from D500 and D7200 are awesome. I am Having Issues with Images after the 200mm range' thus Images are fuzzy and or seem to show shake. Using the VC/ON helps a bit but Nothing compared to my Nikkor 70-300mm VR AF S ED 5.6G or 200-500mm 5.6. After my final test this Morning I realized that this lens require a strong hold or tripod for the 400mm Images. I got some good Images at the 400mm long end convincing myself Its just my hand shake and Not the Lens' So I decided to keep the lens. I like very much the stiff focus ring and grip' Its a strong build Lens NOT Metal but strong on the heavy side for a small Lens' Its tuff! focusing with the D500 Is fast as well with D7200 best results with the D500. This Lens leaves a blue lite blue finish on the Image compared to my Other lens Including the above mentioned, But No stress removing with software' That Is Nikon software NX studio the latest. So far My best use for this Lens Is Night photography with speed flash and day Images at the short end' Oh'' and by the way I used the Tamron for six hours touring the local Islands from my Kayak and it took a salt water beating along with my D7200' after a good cleaning No Issues so far.

  • the best "mega zoom" on the market
Set: Tamron 18-400mm Zoom Only
Ok. there are Brand name 18-300mm zooms.. Canon, Nikon, etc. But this is the first 18-400mm zoom.. and yea, it shows its teeth with reach. about a 27-620mm range..approx 22x.. So far, its fabulous. now i am not using it for architecture, or incredibly technical photos, but I wanted a real " All in One" lens, and this is it. I checked reviews first, @dpreview, to see how it fared . it fared very well, for the range built into this lens. is it competing with Four figure Prime lenses ? of course not. BUT, unless you have a FIVE Figure budget, and need that kind of "lens ammo", this ONE lens, can pretty much do everything you ever want from a half dozen other lenses. I bought two lenses when I got my Nikon D7500 a Tamron 10-24mm and this 18-400mm I can cover ultra wide thru super telephoto. only a mere handful of lenses can beat me out in range ( 300-500mm $2k zoom ) or ultra wide. (8-15mm ultra ultra wide, with tilt/shift-another $1500-2k ) thats it. NO, you dont have perfect edges, you will have some minor distortions, but they are minimal. lens flare is very well controlled, and while it IS a SLOW lens, thats why Photo Gods invented tripods. if you make your living off Photography and need serious speed, you arent even reading this review. if you want massive versatility in a quality zoom, with quality glass, coatings, etc, but DONT have $1000 for just one lens, this is your way to go. i wouldnt hesitate to recommend this lens to anyone, and if my brother was still into photography, i would get him one as a Christmas or Bday gift in a hearbeat. you wont be sorry if you get this lens. Oh, and there is the Tamron 6 YEAR warranty..thats pretty sweet.. ... show more

  • Works as described, nice to have zoom capability.
Set: Tamron 18-400mm Zoom Only
I am a casual photographer so I can't give a dpreview level review (for anyone not aware, dpreview is a great site). This Tamron lens does what it is advertised to do. It is of course a compromise. If the zoom capability is not needed, it's best to go with a fixed/prime lens. I could have deducted a star for the various shortcomings of this lens, but they are mostly inherent in the design. Other brands have them too, so I left it at 5 stars. That said, there may be other similar lenes that are better, but I'm not familiar with everything that's available. ... show more

  • Impressive Range!
Set: Tamron 18-400mm Zoom Only
First of all I am a Novice photographer. I have a Nikon d3400 entry level camera. I am really satisfied to add this to my collection as a multi-purpose lens as to not have to change lenses as much. The lens has a fast focus and seems to be more pin point accurate then My Nikon 300mm zoom. Feels good in hand and not too bulky. The quality of the photos is very good. However when you enlarge the photo to maximum size and compare it side by side with a photo taken with a Nikon lens, the Nikon photo is a pinch bit sharper. But for the price over Nikon... HEY... go with this lens if you are on a budged like I am. I rated it a 5 star because this lens was very much worth adding to my equipment and I think anyone looking to purchase this lens would be as 100% satisfied as I am. ... show more

  • Not bad, but really heavy—and actually only an 18-300mm lens!
Set: Tamron 18-400mm Zoom Only
Every photographer’s dream lens achieves all possible focal lengths and is simultaneously infinitely sharp with no aberrations at all of them. Of course, neither is possible, even individually, and, worse, the trade-off between the two is unforgiving. So, the reviews for a lens like this, which claims to be close to achieving the former, are all over the map, depending on the user’s priorities. Beginners love it for its range and aren’t overly concerned with its image quality, while professionals (and professional-wannabes) hate it for its less than sharp images and are accustomed to having to carry multiple lenses as a result. So, in anticipation of an upcoming trip to an exotic location, I thought I’d give this lens a try and see if it could replace two or three of my current lenses, so I wouldn’t have to change lenses on my Nikon d7500. Oh, and I suppose that I should mention that I’m a physicist, specializing in optics, and have taught a semester course on optics more than twenty times. So, I bring some helpful skills to the issue. First, the professionals are right to avoid this lens if they plan to significantly enlarge their photographs. But, with commonly available inexpensive and easy-to-use software, it’s possible to correct for most of the problems of this lens, allowing it to yield printable pictures up to about 16” x 24” with more than sufficient resolution. I’ve actually done this with my Nikon 18-140mm and 55-300mm lenses with excellent results. So, unless professional-wannabes are displaying their photographs on 65” 4K displays, their photographic snobbishness should probably be ignored. Indeed, I’ve known several such folks, who own a dozen or more high-quality prime (non-zoom) lenses each, but whose equipment is too heavy and bulky to carry with them. Worse, they’ve spent all their money on these expensive lenses and so can’t afford to pay an assistant to carry them all for them or even travel to places worth photographing in the first place. One has never actually taken a photograph. So, ultrazooms are not really as bad as some snobs make them out to be. Okay, so what about this lens? Well, first, it’s very heavy. So, unless you plan on also using it to work out, you might want to reconsider it. But it has another much less forgivable problem. A homework problem I assign to my class is to find a simple formula relating the angular view of a lens to its focal length and the camera’s sensor size. Using it, I made some measurements and found that this lens’s maximum focal length is NOT 400mm and instead is only approximately 300mm! In other words, its range is significantly less than claimed! And its maximum focal length is also less than Nikon’s 55-300mm telephoto zoom, which, interestingly, achieves approximately 330mm according to my measurements. So, Tamron’s marketing department is exaggerating the range of this lens (others have observed and commented on this problem, also, although less quantitatively). This value is unlikely to vary between individual lenses, so save your money, unless you’re happy with a heavy 18-300mm lens, which is what this lens actually is. By the way, for Nikon APS-C cameras, in terms of full-frame language, this lens only corresponds to 27-450mm, not 27-600mm, as would implied be implied by its 18-400mm claimed range. Now, I should also mention that photographs taken using the iPhone 14 are easily as good as those taken by my Nikon d7500 with this lens for the iPhone’s focal length range of 13 to 77mm (in full-frame terms), so the wide-angle portion of the photographic spectrum is covered well, even in low-light conditions, by the iPhone 14, which has many additional clever photographic advantages. And, as the less expensive Nikon 55-300mm zoom corresponds to about 80-500mm (full-frame), the combination of it and the iPhone covers more than the range of the so-called 18-300mm lens on both sides. So there you have it, a single zoom lens—the Nikon 55-300mm lens—covers the entire desired range of telephoto focal lengths, eliminating the need to change lenses for the shorter focal lengths, as long as the iPhone 14 is along for the ride, too. Finally, I also considered the much lighter Nikon 18-300 (see my review of it if you like), which is actually more like 18-240mm, and the similarly heavy Nikon 28-300 zoom but stopped short of buying the latter because reviewers of it also noted its less-than-claimed zoom range at the telephoto end. So that was a week of my life wasted due to unscrupulous marketing tactics by these lens manufacturers. ... show more
