Rent NowTamron AF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 LD Macro Lens for Nikon F
Budget-Friendly Telephoto Zoom 112.5-450mm Equivalent on DX, Low Dispersion Glass & Close-Up Macro Capabilities (Well Used Condition)
The Tamron AF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 LD (Model 672DE / AF276N-700) is a versatile, long-reaching telephoto zoom lens designed for Nikon F-mount SLR and DSLR cameras. Offering a 75-300mm focal length range (approx. 112.5-450mm equivalent on Nikon DX-format sensors), this lens provides extended reach for sports, wildlife, nature, and distant portraiture without requiring a heavy gear bag.
Its optical formula incorporates Low Dispersion (LD) glass elements to minimize chromatic aberrations and color fringing, helping deliver crisp detail and clear color rendering across the telephoto range. Designed for close-up performance, the lens features a dedicated macro mode capable of capturing detailed shots of smaller subjects with up to a 1:3.9 maximum magnification ratio. Its lightweight build makes it an easy-to-carry option for outdoor handheld shooting.
Note on Nikon Autofocus Compatibility: This lens utilizes a screw-drive AF system (driven by the camera body’s internal motor). Autofocus is fully supported on Nikon DSLRs with built-in focus motors (such as D7000-series, D200/D300/D500, D600/D750/D800-series, D90, etc.). On entry-level bodies without an internal AF motor (such as D3000-series and D5000-series), it operates in manual focus mode only.
Condition Diagnostics & Physical Notes

Optical Glass Condition: PRE-OWNED. Glass elements show typical light surface dust or minor cleaning marks consistent with heavy use; internal optics remain intact for general photography.
