Tamron 18-270 at a Soccer Game – Really nice soccer game photos by "cubsfan61", who mounted the Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD Aspherical IF Macro Zoom Lens (Nikon mount) on a Nikon D90 Digital SLR camera to photograph this set of images.
I'm reproducing his opinion on the Tamron lens that's found in a related forum post:
I had the Nikon 70-300VR and it's a great lens. For my uses, though, I found the 70 wasn't wide enough. Also I'm going on a European cruise later this month and wanted an all in one option, so I didn't miss shots while changing lenses. So, I picked up the Tamron 18-270.
I have only had it a week, but so far have noticed no lens creep. In fact the lens is rather "tight" in the middle of the zoom range, which I imagine helps to eliminate the creep.
Here are some shots from my niece's soccer game. I think the sharpness is pretty good, considering it's a fast moving sport. I also found the focus speed of the Tamron pretty good. Not as fast as the Nikon, but still pretty quick.
A new gallery of real-world pictures should give a useful insight into the image quality you can expect from Nikon's newest digital SLR camera and DX lens.
Check out the Photo-cafe.jp examples of images photographed with the Nikon D90 and Nikon 18-105mm Nikkor lens.
