thx for the review. I just ordered this for my t7i.
Good review, thinking of getting one. Thanks
awesome review. thank you.
Great Video
I got this lens one week ago. So far I am very satisfied with it. I have done landscape, floral and macro shots with it. The only thing I don't like it the focus ring at the front of the lens. It is narrow and has a short turning radius. It is in and out of focus with just a small adjustment. Besides that It is a great lens.
I put this on a Lumix G7 with a Commlite adapter giving me 36-800mm equivalence - amazing images
Hello...do you still have auto focus functionality of your camera...fast continuous shooting?
Thank you. You forgot to mention the camera model you used to evaluate the leens. Can you please?
You got yourself a new SUBSCRIBER .. AND a LIKE that you DESERVE for the nice informative video .. Thanks for sharing... Cheers ..
How well does the VC compensate for low light conditions at max focal length?
Awesome
I love it
Thanks for the video! Have one doubt. How much you can zoom in on an object that is 10-20 feet distance. This is useful to know for wildlife photography. For example, you want to zoom in real close on a frog in pond while you are at the edge of the pond (hardly 10-15 ft away from the frog) . How much close shot you can get? Asking because, heard Tamron 18-400 is not good at this, so want to understand your experience. Thanks in advance!
Hello. Excellent review. Thank you. Between Tamron 70-200 F2.8 and Tamron 18-400 F3.5 which is a better lens for travel photography? Many thanks.
Hi! I am thinking on getting one of these 2, but don't know which one to get. I love portrait and wildlife photography but I travel a lot. What would you recommend?
Hi your review about this lens is awesome. I have a question, I am planning to buy Nikon D750 as it is FX will this DX/APS-C LENS will work or do you have any suggestions. Please I want your valuable information. Help me out.
Thanks in Advance.
What body do you used sir? Is it good for my d3100?
I saw you guys filming in the domain!
Haha yes we remember you called out to us yeah?
Hi George, How does this compare to 16-300 mm Tamron? Specially 16mm vs. 18mm? Do you have a recommendation?
Hello : Bonjour , I have a Nikon D7500 , i think to replace the Nikkor 18-300 3.5 -5.6 by this lens it's for sport pictures ...
Is this lens still the best all in one option or is there any better alternative now at this price?
Will Tamron release a version of their 18-400mm lens compatible with Sony alpha cameras?
Great review thanks.
Just a note for potential buyers wanting to purchase this lens for video work on the Canon C series Video cameras....
Sadly for me the Tamron 18-400 is not compatible with any of the Canon Cinema series video cameras C100 C300 C200 and Tamron USA confirmed in an Email to me that they have no plans to address the issue. This is a pity for me because it would have been great as a 22x zoom for run and gun (the Tamron 16-300 works great - go figure)
Perhaps if enough of us contacted Tamron they could do something, because the original builds of the Tamron 16-300 also wouldn't work but the factory fixed the issues in later builds.
Good thing to know, thanks Frank! We will bring it up with Tamron as well
Hi. That would be awesome if you could bring it up with Tamron.
I contacted the Tamron Australian distributor, Blonde Robot via thier Facebook page and although sympathetic, said they were only concentrating on the stills market for now.
Again a huge dissapointment for me.
I used to work for Georges Camera Stores in the City and sold the original Tamrons like the 70-210 and always loved thier innovation they are a tremendous company.
Your video reviews are well done, fun, but cover all the main features we need to know, well done keep up the great work!
Frank Redward, I understand your feeling, but believe me i tested most of Tamron lenses, early copies, they mostly sucks, especially the 24-70 F2.8. but also they have some Models, such as 15-30 f2.8 and 70-200 f2.8 G2.. amazing Lenses, but not all of them are on same level.
What do you mean dont work with the C series?
Does d5200 compatible in this lens
what camera that
ur use ?
How is the image quality compare to the Sigma 18-300? I’m choosing between these two lenses.
Definitely the Tamron in our opinion!
How does the sharpness compare to the kit lens like 18-55mm and 70-300 mm nikon?
even i also want to know this
I have the older Tamron 18-270 vc lens and I have to say the build quality and image quality with this 18-400 is alot better.
But I noticed the vc is nowhere near as good as the 18-270, even at the same focal length.
Great video! I'm an avid bird watcher and am wanting a birding lens for my Canon 700D. Do you think this would be a suitable lens for that?
Heath Milne Hey Heath! In terms of its zoom range and focus speed I believe it would be sufficient for bird photos.
Thanks heaps! Definitely will look into it!
No I bought this lens and when cropping in on birds I was very disappointed
George Coleman because it wasn’t sharp when cropped?
This lens or 70-200mm f/2.8 I shoot mostly portraits of families and children. How does it perform on a tripod?
Which 70-200 F2.8 are you comparing it to?
Is it compatible with nikon d 5300
The cool 😎 one,
The End 😃😃😃👏
I have a question Please, for Nikon D5300, which would go better Nikon 18-300 or tamron 18-400 ?
I feel the 18-300 is sharper but the image stabilisation on the Tamron and the extra 100mm is very useful.
I bought the tamron 18-400 mm lens for Nikon mount, which I shoot on a D-7100. In one word "sweet'
Good to hear I use the D7100 and considering this Lens. Thanks 👍🏽
Afraid I am all about the Primes!!!! :)
Primes are still great!
Is it compatible with Canon 700D
Hi all what is the best NIKKOR 18-300mm or Tamron 18-400mm thanks for your opinion !
Hey mate! The Nikkor 18-300 is a pretty good all in one lens and we feel that image quality wise it's a bit better. However the image stabilisation and that extra 100mm on the 18-400 is worth considering. It's up to you what you would feel would benefit you most.
Thank you but i still dont know what is the best lol ,,, kind regards
If you feel you would benefit from the extra 100mm then it's well worth going for the Tamron
is the
Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mmf 3.5-5.6G ED Vibration Reduction Zoom Lens and not 3.5-6.3g better this lens??
if u only had two choices and it is to choose between this tamron and Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mmf 3.5-5.6G ED Vibration Reduction Zoom Lens which lens would you purchase and why??
hi. thats a nice video . is this lens compatable with my nikon 5300 ?
The image quality is awesome ... But this lens is pumping so much dust inside of the camera on the sensor... through the huge expanding of the lens by the zoom
R u saying all the telephoto lens is pumping so much dust into the camera sensor?
T his is one lens I would definitely like TO have its the all in one , no more changing out your lenese on. A job its all there. 649.00
Please make review about nikkor 18-300mm vc.. Tqvm
400 mm on APS Camera ? or Full Frame ?
so if I use it on D810 (FX) full frame camera ? how much the zoom I will get ?
Mazen Nabulsi Its only aps c which is equivalent to 600mm+
600mm ... WAAAWWWW ..... MEANS WOW .... Thats amazing ...
Used on a Nikon DX camera such as the D500 etc 400mm would equate to 600mm! Bear in mind this lens is specifically made for APS-c crop sensor cameras so if you did try and use it on a FX (full-frame) camera like the D810 you would get vignetting or you'd have to use it in DX mode which is a bit pointless.
I'm not sure whether to buy this tamron 18-400 or the tamron 16-300. Which is best in terms of sharpness please?
Hi Massimo. Which one did you go with? And do you have any suggestions? I’m looking at these two options in 2022. Cheers
@@sachithmalalagama7166 Hi. I didn't buy any of them, because after reading a lot I found out that if you're looking for sharpness, you should just stay away from zoom lenses, so I went for prime lenses. I hope it helps. Regards from Italy
@@MaxRiley Thanks mate! I’m new to photography and I don’t expect professional level photos. I just need a good general purpose / travel lens. So I might go with the 16-300 which is cheaper and I feel the 16mm wide angle will be better than the 18mm one. Any thoughts? Cheers
@@sachithmalalagama7166 if you are new to photography you will soon realise that what you will really want eventually will be prime lenses both for sharpness and bokeh, but only after you will have spent some money on zoom lenses. Especially at the very beginning we all went through the stage of wanting a very wide focal range. If you really are going to buy a zoom lens I suggest you not to go too extreme. 16-300 you will lose a lot of quality especially between 16-35 and 200-300 and that's very frustrating. Keep me updated, buddy.
i have d300s camera. its work my camera
Yep!
When you say it outperforms better than any other superzoom on the marked, then I guess you own or tried rest of them? Thats quite many.
We've tested a large majority of them as they've been around for a long time. We can say with confidence that the range, speed and VC works brilliantly in comparison to what Tamron/Sigma have put out and even the Canon and Nikon 18-200/300s
Vibration Conversation ???!!!!... Thats New to me, I used to Tamron to Produce VC, Vibration Compensation , I think ...
Mazen Nabulsi Its definitely compensation. Haha
ah ok ...hahaha .. Now It makes sense ..
Yes Tamron calls it VC-vibration Compenstation. Each company hasdifferent names for essentially what is the same thing but probably trademarked names for it.
I would no longer recommend this lens, up to a week ago this was my favorite lens, but a week ago the lens barrel began getting much stiffer, and at 3/4 zoom or beyond it stopped focusing. Now, a week later and you have to force the lens to even half way zoom and it will now only focus up to half way zoom, the lens is basically dying as I try to use it and this is a brand new lens. I had been using it daily to do photography in Acadia National Park.
I mute and look away during ads.
Please do not shake the camera when you say.
400mm so 600mm FF equivalent. That is wildlife territory etc.. Doubt that a real wildlife shooter would use this lens. They use the telephoto primes or longer quality zooms but not this. So what about the enthousiastic or walk around photographer? What will he shoot at 400mm and how often? People want this crazy long focal lenghts but have no idea why. Differentiate your lenses to your needs, a good quality mid range zoom for the most of your pics and if you want longer reach sometime get a second hand 70-200 or something. So you have quality lenses for each situation but not this 22x zoom compromise. For me this is a waste of money.
I'm the type of guy who likes this type of lense. My use-case: walking in the nature, taking pictures of my family and the nature. Suddenly an interesting plane or bird flies by and I only have a few seconds to take a picture. And with this lense I'm covered in all cases. I'd add one or two fast primes, that's it.
sorry, this len is a large dust vaccumn! :))
Ugh
