Tamron10-24 mm DIII VC HLD Lens for Nikon B023N

Stunning! Focus, tack sharp. Vibration reduction, amazing. Sharpest lens I own, all the others are Nikon and this is streets ahead on every metric. I can’t believe that this is the price it is at less than half the price of the Nikon. I have always used Nikon lenses, if I am in the market again I will definitely be looking at Tamron. Update: Disaster strikes, dropped the lens from height of one metre. Minor damage to filter ring everything else OK. So its tough! Sent it to Tamron repair and it took a little while for the part to arrive but once it had arrived from Germany the boys at Intro 2000 repaired and next day shipped the lens back to me. Cost of repair was reasonable, 5 year warrantee unaffected and the lens is still the sharpest lens I own with the best VC I have ever seen. Just makes me want to say even more how very pleased I am with this lens. Brilliant piece of kit for the money and built like a brick .... shed!!

Is this a good lens? Well, everyone says so, but I had my first one replaced, as it was way too soft. The replacement, I thought, was quite a bit better. But I noticed that it was unreliable in its focusing (and, yes, I am aware of my technical limitations, but much worse than, say, with my Nikon 200-500 or my Nikon 70-200 f4). Eventually, I got tired and replaced it with my Nikon 70-200 f2.8 FL, which is a noticeable step up in sharpness and colour fringing (absent, not obvious). My advice, for what it’s worth, is buy a second hand Nikon from MPB (to which I sold my Tamron - very easy, but 50% down the drain. Oops) if buying new is too much. Or buy new from Panamoz, who are excellent and v cheap.I would, however, echo those who have cited the build quality of the Tamron.For info, I was using it with a D850 - I have no idea if that accentuates the quality differences with the Nikon FL lens.

Ich war mir unsicher, ob denn das Tamron, auch in der belebten Güterwelt, mit der Nikon Z6 Mark I funktioniert. Daher sei allen die sich mit der selben Frage abmühen gesagt, es funktioniert ohne jede Nachjustierung mit dem TAP und/oder dem Aufspielen von Firmware, oder irgendwelchen Geisterbeschwörungen, oder gar dem Einschalten von Freunden von Freunden, die sich mit Computern auskennen. Z6-FTZ-Tamron und das Gespann funktioniert ab dem ersten Einschalten der Kamera. Ich bin ja ein Anfänger ohne Ahnung, aber wobei das 70-200 2.8 von Nikon besser sein soll, vermag ich nicht zu sagen. Um die sichtbare Bildqualität kann es wohl nicht gehen. Dazu habe ich mir extra nochmals die Brille geputzt und aufgesetzt. So sehen übrigens die Street-Photos out of the Box aus.

Weddings - Portraits - Events - Used for over a year without fault.For the cost of one Nikon you can get the G2 70-200 and 24-70.Sweaty technical types will and have taken great pleasure in pointing out the differences between this and the Nikon, and everything they say is right... but genuinley for the price and quality you wont notice. And more importantly your customers/friends/family wont care.The build quality is brilliant, vc is great in low light and everything is very easy to get used to on the lens.I definitely recommend it.

Good lens, definitely needed the Tap-in console, which I already had for the 150 - 600 G2, as I needed several adjustments for my D7200. Great image quality once adjusted, fast focus. Best results for clarity at F8 but acceptable at F2.8. Don't really use it beyond F10 but no diffraction issues upto F10.The foot is very small, can't get my fingers through it for carrying. Rotation smoothness is ok for the foot, not great can feel a bit gritty.Switches are awful and positioned badly, I tend to attach a sling strap for carrying and with the foot in the best position, to enable bringing the camera up to my eye, the switches are against my body as I walk and tend to get knocked out of my preferred settings. The switches are also obscured by the foot when in my alternate position. So quick fire is poor due to having to check the switches every time you try to take some shots.
