Great performance so far
I have a Nikon D3000 and it is definitely compatible and considerably cheaper than a Nikon lens! Absolutely love it. It has given me some great sport action shots!

Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di LD Macro Review
Tamron's lens feels remarkably lightweight for its type. This is almost certainly because there is no image-stabilisation (IS) technology, which equivalent lenses from Nikon, Canon and Sigma lenses all offer. For the same reason, it is also no more than one-third of the price of its competitors.
Pros:
- Close-up facility
Cons:
- No image stabilisation

*using it on a Nikon (D40) Summed most of it up in the pros and cons. I love it, and yeah, any beginners I'm sure would be fine except the note I put below (regarding VR) but I think most people should be fine.
Pros:
- Zoom
- The 300mm get's right in your face every time! Highly recommend it if tossing up between a 200mm and a 300mm, Simplicity (I looked at many reviews before purchasing this lens and alot of people complained of difficulty in using it, but I found this to be extremely easy, other than the macro...
Cons:
- Can be a bit soft on the macro
- Only noticeable if blown up, but yeah, can be a bit, The AF
- I know it is often mentioned, but it really is quite laggy
- I don't mind and often will do a whole shoot on MF, you just have to be prepared to at times.

Tungt och suddigt
Jag har inte mycket positivt att säga om denna produkt. Jag lämnade tillbaka den efter en vecka och var väldigt besviken. När jag i efterhand började läsa recensioner av objektivet kände jag igen problemen jag haft med det. Slö AF och dålig skärpa återkom i väldigt många omdömen.
Pros:
- + Priset
Cons:
- - Tyngden
- Objektivet väger mycket och känns klumpigt till min lilla D40
- Mitt Nikkorobjektiv 55-200 är visserligen mindre, men inte mycket, och det känns inte alls klumpigt och tungt, - Skärpan
- Trots att jag fotar med stativ och IR-kontroll blir bilderna suddiga.

REVIEW: Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di LD Macro
Lens guru, Gary Wolstenholme tests the Tamron 70-300mm zoom lens. Is it worth the relaively low price or should it be relegated to the bargain bin? Often after purchasing a camera complete with standard kit lens, many will look for a telephoto zoom to extend their reach when photographing distant...
Pros:
- Lightweight
- Resolution at shorter focal lengths
- Macro feature
- Good value for money
- Good resistance to ghosting and flare
Cons:
- Slow autofocus
