Customer Review: Very Good Lens
I spent 30 years as a pro shooter, using Nikons. Since I retired, I only use my cameras to photograph my child. My F3s and fast AI lenses are stored away, and I now use a D70s and a new D300. I found the zooms a bit soft, bought a 60mm D lens, loved it, and got the 35 f2D. Very sharp, fast enough (my AI was a 1.4 but that was a working lens, this one is for fun) for my current needs, good color, good edges, seems to do the job for a reasonable amount of money.
Customer Review: Sharp, moderate-contrast lens, but DX users might wait for 35mm f/1.8 AF-S
I really wanted to love this lens, but instead I just like it. Perhaps I can explain some of the reasons for that in a moment, but first the positives.

51V5XSVBX2L. SL160  Digital SLR Camera Reviews   Best Picks Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8-4 DG Aspherical Large Aperture Zoom Lens for Nikon SLR Cameras Sigma 28-70mm f2.8-4 high speed zoom lens features a large aperture with lightweight and compact dimensions. At a 28mm focal length, this lens has a fast f2.8 maximum aperture. The lightweight of 8.6 ounces and the short length of 2.6 inches makes this lens very compact. The size and weight of this standard lens make it very suitable for landscape photography and snapshots. This lens has a minimum focus distance of 19.7 inch, 50 cm at all focal lengths and incorporates an aspherical lens element to minimize distortion. The lens materials used in this new lens are lead and arsenic free ecological glass.
Customer Review: It just works like a very expensive lens…
I was very surprised that it work so great on my Nikon D700 for the price I paid. Auto focus is accurate and fast. You can’t go wrong with this one, its a winner.
Customer Review: Cheap Lens, Price and Quality-wise
This lens is very cheap for its large aperture, but be warned, it is not very sharp and the auto-focus tends to hunt. If you are photographing as a novice to professional, this lens will not be able to make large prints without you noticing the blurriness in the photos. In 4×6 prints, the lens seems sharp.

What To Look For When You Buy A Digital Camera

SL160  What To Look For When You Buy A Digital Camera Giottos Rocket-Air Blower Professional AA1920 + Lenspen Lens Pen Cleaning System + Accessory Kit for Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax and Sony Digital SLR Cameras Kit includes: 1) Giottos Rocket-Air Blower Professional AA1920; 2) Lenspen Lens Pen Cleaning System; 3) Deluxe 5-Piece Lens Cleaning Kit; 4) Microfiber Cleaning Cloth. ♦ The Giottos Rocket-Air Blower is very powerful and easy to use cleaning system. The super air stream blows off dust particles, even those attracted by static electricity. Giottos’ patented and unique rocket base design allows the Rocket-Air to stand by itself and prevents accidental blocking of the inlet valve as well as making it easy to store. The inlet valve prevents back flow from the air tube. This air blower is an excellent way to remove dust off sensitive equipment parts without physical contact. It works great when used on digital camera sensors, lenses, telescopes, computer keyboards, microscopes, communications equipment, musical instruments or just about any precision equipment. ♦ Keeping your lenses and LCD spotless is crucial to high-quality photography. After all, just the slightest imperfection — such as dust, fingerprints or water stains — can mean the difference between a stunning portrait and an unsalvageable mistake. Unfortunately, microfiber cloths can often leave dust behind, and compressed air won’t clean fingerprints or other stains. The answer is the LensPen! ♦ Deluxe 5-Piece Cleaning Kit includes: Lens Cleaning Tissue; Lens Cloth; Lens Cleaning Liquid; Blower Brush; Cotton Swabs.
Customer Review: Rocket-Air and Lenspen
The Rocket-Air and Lenspen are what makes this kit. The only other piece I use is the cloth, the rest I don’t use.
Customer Review: lens cleaner kit
This product was as advertised and came just in time, as my lens was totally dusty and I was out of paper and the dog ate my last blower.

Customer Review: Blower is good, the rest is kind of useless
I use the blower a lot, for my camera, to clean my keyboard and even my monitors. The rest of the kit is kind of a waste. With a 22″ widescreen and 24″ widescreen monitor trying to use the pen to clean them is pretty much impossible. The lens pen is ok but I end up using a really nice cloth I picked up. If I did it again, I would only purchased the blower.

Compact Digital Camera or Digital SLR - Which Is Best For You?

July 27, 2009 By: edward Category: nikon lens

51K1P3SGQHL. SL160  Compact Digital Camera or Digital SLR   Which Is Best For You? Tamron Autofocus 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di II Macro Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras The Tamron AF18-200mm high power zoom lens features an entirely new optical design using XR (Extra Refractive Index) glass in an innovative way in order to optimize the overall distribution of optical power throughout the entire zoom range. This design reduces various aberrations to the absolute minimum and achieves remarkable downsizing at the same time. In addition, three hybrid aspherical lens elements and two LD (Low Dispersion) glass elements are used to accomplish effective compensation of on-axis and lateral chromatic aberrations, a critical factor to enhance the optical quality in digital photography. As a result, the lens provides outstanding optical quality in a multi-purpose zoom lens. A glare-reducing flower-shaped lens hood is included as a standard accessory. The special hood provides optimum shading of superfluous light rays that enter from the rectangular frame outside the image field
Customer Review: Not The Best Working Lens
When I purchased my D80 2 years ago Tamron lens came with it, so I decided I would purchase their 18-200mm lens because I NEVER had problems.(I purchased the lens in October 2008.}Most of the time I leave the settings on auto. I went to a hockey game and that is when it happened. The camera would not take a photo. On the menu the F stop would show “F - -” and the flash icon was blinking. I could not believe this was happening. Well I sent it back for a replacement. After I got the replacement from Amazon, I was going to take pictures of my nices soccer game and guess what happned. Yes it happened again. I did read my manual and the “F - -” means there is not lens or the lens is not attached. I have not found anything on the internet of anyone else having this problem. I have updated the firmware on the camera. It worked fine for a while. The last time that this happened I unattached the lens then attached it back and it worked. I do plan on contacting Tamron. I am glad it has a 6 year warranty. It does take some great pictures. My instructor says “Its not the camera that takes a bad pictures its the person taking the photo”. I do hope that one else has had the same problem.
Customer Review: Good Range…but…no Image Stability and Plastic build
Good zoom range and price…but no Image Stabilizer, and made from plastic. The pros are that it is half the price of Canon lens, and a good all-in-one lends. Rather than carry two lens (e.g. 18-85 and 70-200)this lens is a good wide angle plus walk around plus zoom all-in-one. Cons is that the glass is not comparable to mid-line Canon lens; the plastic body allows dust to collect under the glass; Image Stabilizer is needed (esp. for travel); a metal body is needed for durability (esp during travel). That said, what this lens has going for it: its price, it’s range, and its decent output quality. A worthwhile lens for those with discerning budget and photos needs.

Customer Review: Good all-around lens for the money
My Nikon D90 came packaged with this lens and I’ve found that this lens can really do it for most occasions. It’s 18-200mm flexibility allows for a variety of shooting situations without the hassles of swapping out lenses on the fly. It takes sharp, crisp and clear images and is fully compatible with the D90. However I rated only 4 stars simply because of the fact that this lens does not have the VR (Vibration Reduction) feature of Nikkor lenses. To what extent this may or may not be an issue depends on the person shooting the picture but to me, its a convenience I can get by but would be nice if it had it. So, if you are looking for a lens for your Nikon DSLR, check this one out…Great flexibility (18-200mm) for most situations and good value for the money.
