Tamron10-24mm F/3.5-4.5 DI-II VC HLD Wide Angle Zoom Lens for Nikon APS-C DIgital SLR Cameras

My camer is a Nikon D7200, FYI!Pretty dam good lens! Got it back after the 1st of the years and used it almost exclusively it was weird going back to my 18-55 kit. I used it 50/50 convention/ nature.Indoor works well with low light, not poor lighting, people mostly cosplay and costumes come out well. Not it’s intened design but crowded space I don’t need a lot of room to nab groups nor lager costume. Good group shoots as I can get 30 easy 90 (with a ladder) but I like if for the full body shots 2yds away. Some software lens correction is recommended but 😒 even other con photographers haven’t given me shit for the post right off the camera pictures. Suck at long distance so make sure you move your feet if you want the shot.Nature photography is perfect as long you’re not do wildlife. I do landscape, sunrise/ sets and nightsky. I can occasionally get the lens to do macro with shallow depth but yeah looks elsewhere if that’s your bread and butter. I love do Panoramas! The wide ass veiw turned 90 degrees works well with pictures greater than 4 frames as it gives more higth to the finnal picture.I love the manual overide even with the AF still on, yeah that comes in handy.Small draw back is it’s prime reason I got it was the wide field of view. Needless to say I find it to be a love hate relationship. The larger 77mm opening makes it harder to use with my smaller bag.The camera lens weight isn’t too bad against a Nikon D7200. And the lens hood leaves a flash shadow if you use the build-in flash 😒 FYI here if you need a quick fill flash, steep back or shift target human/ camera.Back end with people photoshop does a every well job correctly adjusting for the lens but it is an extra steep. I found it a lost less stressful with pop up group shots in dealer dens areas at conventions and just not needing a lot of space to capture a full human being with oversized weapons, wings, horns, and/or tail is and not loss details like hair nor fur is pretty cool. Fursuit (furries), Knight and Jedi Knight, super hero’s, transformers, storm troopers, finall fanisty, ghost busters, even the hulk buster come out 😒 if you set the camera right. They seem to come out with not much difference from normal work flow. The wide angle help nab the balcony shots to grab the scale of how big some convention are.Same thing with nature like waterfalls pandora. I just need 3 at times, smaller pandoras footprint helps my pc complete one faster. Also allows for more picture for the panorama.So used right it’s sweet.😒 I also dropped it once and we’ll mine still works! (Yeah my heart stopped)

This lens is exactly what I was looking for. Images are sharp and crisp. Focusing is responsive and very quiet.My only concern it the warranty here in Canada. When my order was placed it was stated that toe supplier was Amplis Foto Inc, Markham, ON, CA. The lens originated in the USA. Documents indicated that there was a 5 year warranty in the USA. No mention whatsoever/anywhere of a Canadian warranty or how to go about enabling one.

Almost all the lenses I own are Nikon brand to go with my D850 and D500. They are simply better than anything else I've tried. But since I'm new to the kind of photography that requires a wide angle, I decided to aim a little lower. To my surprise, the quality of this lens is exceptional, and the biggest benefit is that I can use it on both cameras. The only catch is that it has to be set no smaller than 14mm on the full frame or you'll have to crop the vignetting. Yes; there is still a VERY small amount in the corners, but 14mm isn't really necessary for most real estate shots anyway. You can get everything you need by shooting at 15 or 16 or shooting at 14 and cropping. I've attached an image of a hotel suite living room with all my personal belongings blacked out. That shot was taken at 14mm f/4 on my D850. I was tucked way in a corner and managed to get way more wall than I needed. Another option to prevent the need to crop in post is to shoot in 5/4 mode. This gets you the full height of a full frame and cuts out the vignetting and extra wall in camera. With the clarity of this lens, and the fact that it comes with the standard 77mm filter size, I see no reason to look anywhere else.

This is a hidden gem. This lens could not collect reviews because I think it is third party product and it is expensive. But comparatively this lens is well made in terms of overall build quality, image quality, functions (especially auto focus and image stabilization switches), the quality of image stabilization, focus ring, and adaptability with Nikon cameras (version after year 2016, such as Nikon D5500, D3400, D5600...).The image stabilization mechanism is one of the best. I was able to capture sharp picture at 1/5 shutter speed. This is a metal body lens with weather sealing, which is an added advantage. This lens also has a distance scale which could be useful for Nikon Kit lens users as Nikon Kit lenses are without distance scale and few quick switches (AF, VR). In the low light the lens perform very well due to image stabilization. Due to image stabilization, I someone could easily use slower shutter speeds to get sharp low light IQ. Overall I am impressed with this lens.

Produces very good images. however, still not compatible with Nikon FTZ adaptor to work with Z series cameras. hopefully Tamron will update firmware soon.
