I've been using it for over a year. At first I worked with him on the D5100, and then switched to the D7100. The difference in photo quality is noticeable at all focal lengths. Thus, it turns out that it resolves well modern multi-pixel (24MP) matrices. This is a very big plus. After 250mm, it lathers a little around the edges, but not critical, others are much worse. The picture is very beautiful. The color rendition is simply amazing. Manual adjustment of sharpness is very convenient - without any switching on the lens! In back and side light, it works perfectly - I almost never shoot with a lens hood, and it's convenient! Macro, by the way, also comes out of decent quality, and even a small crop makes it generally competitive, fortunately, the d7100 resolution is just the way here. The most modern wagon. I can compare with the previous model 18-105mm. and 18-270mm. At focal lengths of 50-100mm, it is in fact much lighter! It's just a very big difference. Because here both quality and sharpness and focal and assembly and weight-size, everything is much cooler - he is the favorite. Everything is very harmonious and comfortable. And it seems to me that he will not soon have a worthy competitor on the crop. not significant. e.g. no string use Tamron 16-300mm f/3.5-6.3 VC PZD Di II Macro more than year |
I've been using this lens for over two years. The 50mm and 35mm primes are also in my kit. But the 16-300mm is incredibly convenient and simply a must-have as a travel zoom. As far as I know, to this day, no other manufacturer has such an expansive range lens like this. And I think many photo enthusiasts were waiting for the 16mm. It is very sharp at an aperture of 6.3-8.0 across the entire field, moreover. The autofocus is just very fast and quiet. At 120-150mm, you get sharp portraits with a nice background. The macro is top-notch as well. Color reproduction is perfect. I always review photos on a 42" monitor. There are no obvious artifacts. It's especially good on walks or in nature. From one spot, you can capture almost all the visible scenes. To say that it's good would be an understatement! It doesn't fear backlighting. This is a true travel zoom for every day, the most modern and very compact. Just like fixed lenses, you need it to be free in choosing your subject. It's difficult to shoot handheld at 300mm. You either need a good support or a tripod. You don't always want to carry a tripod. Everything else is not significant and can be processed. use Tamron 16-300mm f/3.5-6.3 VC PZD Di II Macro more than year |
It's been almost 3 months now. Much better than the 105th. Simply, wonderful drawing and color reproduction. There is nothing to add. After other lenses, this stub is simply gorgeous. It looks like he is holding my hand himself.! I'm just shocked by it! 16mm is the bomb!!!! 300mm - also, not weak on the crop !!!! no |
The brainchild of the Japanese company Tamron belongs to the category of universal lenses that are equally good at shooting both at wide angle and at telephoto. For a long time, the model retained the palm among all representatives of the reflex optics squad in terms of zoom ratio (18.75x), however, in 2017, this record was beaten by the Tamron 18-400mm f / 3.5-6.3 Di II VC HLD.
Uniqueness
With such a huge set of focal lengths, the lens produces a good picture, which is certainly ahead of many whale lenses in quality. Actually, the zoom is intended to serve as a universal replacement for them. Adding to the uniqueness of the model is an extra 2mm of focal length at the wide end (16mm compared to 18mm on most rivals), making it possible to capture much more in the frame.
Drawing features
When shooting at wide angle, strong vignetting appears in the image, while in the range of focal lengths from 200 to 300 mm, the picture can be spoiled by visible chromatic aberrations. Both parasitic effects can be overcome at the stage of post-processing of the footage or by means of an in-camera XA correction system — they do not provide a special negative impact on the final result.
Optical stub
The compact body of the Tamron 16-300mm f/3.5-5.6 Di II VC PZD Macro fits not only a piezo-ultrasonic autofocus drive (medium focus speed), but also an effective image stabilizer that allows you to take photos with a gain of up to 4 exposure levels. You can count on an acceptable result when shooting with the maximum zoom ratio even at shutter speeds of the order of 1/20-1/30 s. There is no stub only on board the Sony A-mount version, which is due to the design features of Sony DSLRs and their equipment with a matrix image stabilization system.
Universal Soldier
The lens produces the clearest picture at f / 8-11 aperture values. In the rest of the range, images tend to have soft edges. When zooming, the “trunk” extends at the lens, but the overall dimensions of the zoom still remain very compact. Tamron 16-300mm f / 3.5-5.6 Di II VC PZD Macro is compatible with most common mirror mounts (except, perhaps, Pentax K) and is able to replace a whole fleet of optics with one itself for a wide variety of purposes — from shooting architecture to taking pictures from long distances .
