Any idea about AF28-200mm f3.8-5.6 LD (Asp) IF
Does anyone own AF28-200mm f3.8-5.6 LD (Asp) IF (Nikon)? How is this lens, clarity, worth buying? Please help...

Hi, I own one of these lenses,made by Tamron. I use it on my Canon 350D, which gives me 40-320mm, it`s a great lens,good contrast,excellent definition. On AF it does hunt a bit under low light conditions,but so do many others. The zoom ring is turned anti-clockwise to zoom out which takes getting used to and the manual focus ring is a little on the small side. I got mine from E-bay for about £65.00, I also managed to get the matching X2 converter for £47.00 on E-bay as well. This lens is more or less permanently attached to the camera now, I am more than happy with the pictures I get from it. hope this helps John

Hello Shobin, I've never been an advocate of lenses that cover a wide range. They tend to be quite slow, have a lot of elements that just don't stabilize well, (Thermally or mechanically). I think you would be more pleased with less zoom range and more wide angle. Perhaps a 18-70mm quality lens. Then add a lens; maybe something around the 70-200mm range. At least starting at 18mm you have a true wide angle given the multiplier factor of APS sensors. All the best, Pete
