Tamron AF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 LD for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Designed for Nikon digital SLR cameras, the Tamron 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 telephoto zoom lens is ideal for a wide range of applications. In addition to zooming in for a more intimate look when shooting wildlife or sporting events, the lens compresses the distance between the main subject and the background while also blurring the background beautifully–a must if you want your shot to look crisp and larger than life. Other features include a minimum focusing distance of 59 inches, an angle of view of 33 to 8 degrees, and a 62mm filter diameter.

The AF
A wonderful beginners lens to practice telephoto skills, especially for the price! I bought it to take photos in Yellowstone National Park, and it never failed me when I wanted to zoom in on animals and landscape features!
Although if you are looking for the most amazing lens quality, this is not for you!
I bought this lens with my Nikon D80 and used it a great deal of the time. Partnered with a warming filter, this lens took nice pictures. It was a workhorse for me until I started doing outside shots at football games. This its slow AF became an issue and I upgraded to the Tamrom AF 70-300 Di model. I also took some close up shots with this lens, but I had to get quite a ways back. This is a good starter zoom, but will show its shortcomings pretty soon.
This lens is wonderful! I’ve taken many amazing photos with this lens (not my skill at all). The company expedited the shimpent and it arrived in time for my trip back in October. I’ve enjoyed everything about this lens and the surprise camera bag (included free) was so nice.
Thank you! Thank you!
