Tamron 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di VC PZD Review
Tamron 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di VC PZD Verdict
Superzoom lenses like this offer a versatile, compact option which is great for travel, or simply for when a large zoom range is convenient. This lens adds a decent vibration compensation system, resistance to dust and moisture and fast focusing to allow this lens to be used in a wide range of shooting scenarios, further increasing the convenience on offer.
Although Nikon camera owners may see that the difference in price to the marque alternative is only slight, it will be owners of Sony and Canon full frame cameras, looking for a convenient option for travel, or simply for when wandering with their camera, especially as there is no sensible alternative from these camera manufacturers, or any other third party lens brands currently available.
Tamron 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di VC PZD Pros
Consistent sharpness across the frame
Convenient 10.7x zoom range
Effective VC system
Good build and splash proof construction
Reasonably compact and lightweight
Piezoelectric focusing motor
Tamron 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di VC PZD Cons
Not much different in price between this and Nikon marque lens
