delivery was fine but they sent me the 100-300mm instead of the 75-300mm
that was kindof a bummer and they didnt call me and ask first.
i just kept it and delt with it.

I ordered this lens from Beachcamera to go with the D40x SLR kit that I was also buying. The lens is nice, zooms smoothly, the optics are crisp, and it does fit onto my new Nikon, but there is NO Auto Focus compatility to the D40x. Beware that the not all lenses labeled “AF” are not all AutoFocus with all cameras in the brand line. Only lenses labeled “AF-S” and “AF-I” are compatible with the D40 and D40x Nikons, and as far as I can tell Tamron doesn’t make any of these AF types to mount to a Nikon. Now I have to suffer the S&H and beachcamera’s 10% re-stocking fees…don’t make the same mistake I made!

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!

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.

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!
