3.0 out of 5 stars Good lens, but minor design flaws

2025-12-25    -R. Arellano

I had this lens for a short time and used it on my Nikon Z50ii. Great sharpness and resolution, but I had a couple issues that made me sell it. 1- the VC is great at shorter focal lengths, but it's really 'nervous' at the long focal lengths. 2- when I used it at the long focal lengths, on a tripod, and pointed at high angles (example: moon photos) the lens creep was pretty bad. With no focal length lock I couldn't use it for one of my favorite use cases - moon photography.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great all around lens…

It’s the lens that spends most time in the camera, great range, also good magnification. Very crisp and good pleasant bokeh.The autofocus is good, but not as good as in The Nikons Z mount(eg: 180-600 zoom).

1.0 out of 5 stars Crappy OIS

OIS is Ok at best for photos and abysmal for video... Took this to Virginia Beach for the Blue Angels along with my Z6III and I'd say out of 7500+ pictures 2500 or less were absolutely sharp and the video was so unstable it was heart breaking. I have the 35-150 F2-2.8 and wish I had brought it instead! Please fix the VC and also give us the ability to turn it off for video and use IBIS instead!

Everything as expected

I've always been of the mindset that, if I have a Nikon camera - just get the native Nikkor lenses that made especially for the camera. And that's what I did when putting together my kit ... all Z lenses, and mostly from Nikon S-series.The only lens I didn't have was a long tele-zoom lens - the 100 - 400 mm was drool-worthy, as was the180 - 600 mm ... except for two things. They were both too long to fit in the sling camera bag I carry ... and, the price.They were $800 and $1,000 more (even on sale) than the Tamron 50-400mm F/4.5-6.3 Di IIIVXD. So, after reading & watching a ton of reviews I thought I'd give the Tamron a try.And it has blown me away. Image quality is crazy good (the bokeh on the attached pelican photo was at f.6.3!), auto-focus is real fast, and the lens is even comfortable and light enough to use hand held - and without a collar on my tripod.And as importantly (to me) - the lens is one of the smallest zooms at 7.2" long ... meaning it fits into my sling camera bag.Highy, highly recommend this lens - the best $1,199 you'll ever spend for image quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic lens!

Could not be happier with images from this lens!! A bit on the heavy side but worth it for the image quality. I have this and the Nikon 24-120mm. Just 2 lenses and I've got 24-400 covered!
