Tamron 16-300mm review

the Tamron 16-300mm lens is an interesting superzoom lens, with extremely wide range from wide angle to telephoto. The lens has a silent Piezo drive autofocus system, 1:3 macro magnification, and decent optical quality. Is it good enough ? Find out from the review.

Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 review

The Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 is a very good value lens. Razor sharp, very versatile thanks to the f/2.8 max aperture, and useful focal length. The only thing is perhaps missing is the USM drive, but for this price even like this it is terrific bargain. Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 review

Nikon 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6 VR review

The Nikon 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6 VR is a very good value lens. Very sharp, even wide open, at both ends of the zoom range and very versatile as well. The only downside is the relatively dark aperture especially at the long end. The lens has an excellent stabilizer, and premium quality ultrasonic autofocus.Nikon 16-85mm vr review
