According to our camera lens expert
The image stabilization ensures unblurred photos.
Subjects in the distance can be brought closer thanks to the long zoom range.
Thanks to the special coating, the change of lens flare is reduced.
Due to its weight, handheld photography for extended periods is uncomfortable.
The Tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6 SP Di USD is the first lens produced by Tamron that features an ultrasonic focusing motor (USD). The lens is suitable for A-mount cameras. The technique involves high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations which generate energy used to spin the metal rotor. This results in fast, and more importantly, noiseless focusing, which makes this lens especially suitable for sports and nature photography. The autofocus can be changed to manual focus by simply turning the focus ring. This allows you to take action right away when an important moment presents itself. With internal focusing, focusing occurs within the lens itself so that it remains the same size. The polarization filter stays in the right setting as the front ring remains in place.
The interior design of the Tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6 SP Di USD consists of 17 elements, distributed over 12 groups. In addition, there is an LD (Low Dispersion) and an XLD (Extra Low Dispersion) lens element, to improve contrast and brightness. BBAR (Broad-Band Anti Reflection) multilayer coatings minimize image shadowing and lens flare. The included lens hood completes the picture by blocking strong sunlight from the lens.
I am very satisfied with this lens. it is an all-round lens and not too heavy to take pictures by hand. My Sony lens 70-400 1,5 kg is too heavy for me to go out. I have photographed birds with it full open and F8 and they look good. Highly recommended if you don't want to spend too much money

After much deliberation and online comparison, we finally opted for this top lens. The lens is an addition to the Nikkor 35mm and the 18-55mm kit lens.
The disadvantage of this combination of lenses is that you have to change them regularly. The advantage is that you shoot beautiful photos over the entire range. This is in contrast to the 18-200 all-rounders. These often leave something to be desired in terms of quality somewhere in the range.
This Tamron feels solid upon first acquaintance. Solidly built and a metal mount. The range is great and the quality, as far as I can estimate as a 'layman' over the entire range sublime! The speed of focusing and the exceptional stabilization ensure beautiful plates.
Photographing people (portrait) is great, provided the person is far enough away from you. Photographing objects works great. Partly due to a decent aperture (unparalleled in terms of price/quality), an object or person can be captured very clearly.
Thanks to the stabilization, it is also possible to take top photos free-hand at the furthest zoom range.
Personally, I have no experience with the Nikkor counterpart, so I can't compare. But if you're looking for quality at the right price, look no further!

After purchasing the lens, it was put into use after a day. It's a very good lens and the photos look very sharp even though I don't have a steady hand. The image stabilization that you find with more expensive lenses may do a little more, but I haven't noticed a blurry image anywhere.
The only downside is the lower limit of 70, which means that you already have to have a fair distance from the object to be able to adjust the screen and take atmospheric photos. A lower limit of 50 mm could have helped with this, but you also know this when you choose the lens.
