Tamron 16-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD, Nikon F
Nikon F, APS-C / DXProduct details
This megazoom pushes the boundaries of traditional travel zooms in both wide-angle and telephoto. With a minimum focal length of 16mm (equivalent to a 24.8mm angle of view in 35mm) up to a maximum focal length of 300mm (equivalent to a 465mm angle of view), this remarkable lens offers a zoom factor of 18.8x. It thus meets the demand of many customers for increased flexibility. Whether the extended wide-angle or the long 300mm telephoto focal length: the desired zoom factor can be selected easily and quickly with a slight rotation.
Sophisticated and reliable image quality in a universally applicable lens. The lens design with 16 lenses in 12 groups includes three aspherical, single-hybrid aspherical elements, two LD (Low Dispersion) and one XR (Extra Refractive Index) glass elements and one UXR (Ultra-Extra Refractive Index) glass, which has a refractive index even higher than XR glass.
The proven Tamron VC (Vibration Compensation) image stabilizer in this lens ensures sharp and blur-free images. This means that the long telephoto focal length can also be used perfectly for hand-held photography.
Close-up limit of only 39 cm for macro photography. The new lens offers a close-up limit of 0.39m over the entire zoom range, with a maximum magnification of 1:2.9, making it even easier to get up close and personal with exciting details.

Das gute bzw. fast sehr gute Ergebnis des Objektivs im Bereich Handhabung kann das eher mäßige Ergebnis bei der Bildqualität leider nur wenig auffangen, weshalb es am Ende bei einer befriedigenden Note bleibt. Die größten Schwächen sind die durchschnittliche Verzeichnung sowie die schwachen Ergebnisse bei Falschlicht...
Das Objektiv verpasst knapp eine gute Bewertung, was vor allem auf das Konto der nur mittelmäßigen Verzeichnung geht. Dies zusammen mit der ebenfalls nur durchschnittlichen Bildstabilisierung sorgt für den letztlichen entscheidenden Punkteverlust. Daran können dann auch die ansonsten guten bis sehr guten Eigenschaften des Modells im Bereich Bildqualität nichts mehr ändern...
