The Tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di LD Macro is a highly versatile and lightweight ultra-telephoto zoom designed for the Nikon SLR system. This lens is a favorite for outdoor enthusiasts, offering an impressive reach for wildlife and sports alongside a dedicated macro mode for close-up photography. Equipped with an internal motor, this version ensures full autofocus compatibility across the entire Nikon DSLR lineup, providing a quiet and responsive shooting experience for both beginners and seasoned hobbyists.
Powerful Telephoto & Macro Capabilities
Expansive 70-300mm Range: Capture everything from flattering portraits at the 70-135mm range to distant action at the full 300mm telephoto reach.
True 1:2 Macro Mode: By engaging the macro switch between 180mm and 300mm, the lens achieves a 1:2 magnification ratio. This allows you to focus as close as 3.1′ (95cm) from your subject, making it ideal for capturing flowers, insects, and fine textures.
Di (Digitally Integrated) Design: Engineered specifically for the demands of digital sensors, the Di optical system utilizes multi-layer internal surface coatings to minimize ghosting and flare for cleaner, high-contrast images.
LD (Low Dispersion) Glass: The optical path includes Low Dispersion elements that reduce chromatic aberrations and minimize light fall-off at the corners, ensuring consistent sharpness across the zoom range.
Performance & Handling
Built-in AF Motor: Unlike older “screw-drive” lenses, this model features its own internal motor. This guarantees autofocus functionality on all Nikon DSLRs, including entry-level bodies like the D40, D3000-series, and D5000-series.
Lightweight Portability: Designed for easy handling in the field, this lens offers a massive focal range without the heavy bulk of professional telephotos, making it a perfect companion for nature hikes and travel.
9-Blade Diaphragm: Helps produce a soft and natural background blur, which is particularly effective when isolating subjects in macro or portrait shooting.
Condition Note
Optical Condition: This lens is in good working order. Please note there is a small piece of lint located inside the lens off to the side, along with some light internal dust. These are common in zoom lenses of this design and do not appear in images or affect the final photo quality.
