FedEx dropped of a Tamron16-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD MACRO LENS for Nikon DX cameras earlier today. One week shipping time from Japan to Ontario from a seller named t-dimension3. This will be my travel lens on a D5300, comming very soon. Tried a small mirrorless and it's OK but I have big hands;~)and love long zooms. The shot posted was taken hand held, out my front door, at both ends of the zoom. Attachment: Tamron16-300mm domo shot cr.jpg (Downloaded 63 times)

Useful range of lens especially for a DX camera but optically zooms with such a long range usually suffer badly with distortions. It will never be a bad lens or a great lens but it will always be a very useful lens especially as it has macro as well.

For a lot of my travel shooting I like a wide view followed be one or more detailed closeups and a lot of distortions don't realy show that much. If it needs correcting there are various programs to do the adjusting. Attachment: Image00001.jpg (Downloaded 57 times)

The distortion is usually at the wide end, at the long end the images arent as crisp as a prime. That said as a travel lens you are compromising ultra-quality for convenience. I prefer the convenience when I am travelling.

The D5300 arrived Friday from Japan. No complaints.

Just checked out the Dpreview review of this lens and they report issues regarding image sharpness under some circumstances might pay to take a look at this link. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikon-af-s-18-300mm-3p5-5p6-vr/3 For balance I took a look at the Tamron review too. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/tamron-16-300mm-f-3-5-6-3-di-ii-vc-pzd-macro From what I read I would get the Tamron but further research might be worthwhile. If you get it mail order you should be able to return it if not up to snuff.

Just a personal thing, but I have never had a zoom lens with more than a 5x zoom range that didn't disappoint at some point. And there always seems to be a lot of quality variation between versions of the same lens. The sad fact is, you get what you pay for. Graham's £6000 500mm is testament to that. The problem is that unless you have lots of cash to invest in top quality glass and a regular need for heavy long lenses to justify the expenditure, you will always be faced with less than perfect lenses....whose images will need assistance in post processing. It's always going to be a question of ..."is the lens good enough for me?" Buying from somewhere that will accept returns is paramount.

Problem with returns is the high cost of postage and the time and effort to get back customs fees etc. from on line purchases.
