This lens uses a 62 mm diameter filter and requires a "circular polarizer" which is different from the ones used for film cameras.

Thank you for contacting us! The Nikon 18-55mm lens has an f-stop range of f/3.5-5.6 while the Tamron 70-300mm lens has a range of f/4.0-5.6. Please let us know if you have any more questions.

Did you ever get a lens? I'm making the same decision now. If so, what did you buy? Are you happy with your decision? Is there anything else you would add that would help me make a decision. Thanks!

I use it on my tamron 18-270 and have NO trouble with the lens hood. I like the BW filter so much that I just bought another one for my Tamron 28-75 (67mm for the latter). I think the light transmission is excellent!

I have a tamron 28-75mm 2.8 on a nikon D300s with battery grip and it fits fine to me. I love this bag for day trips to the park and other places. I would buy it again!

52 or 55mm; I'm on travel & didn't bring that lens with me. I use both a UV & rotating polarizer on this lens... Hope this helps!

I have the Pentax lens and absolutely love it. I do not have, nor have never used, the Tamron lens. However, Pentax forums has some very good reviews of it (http://www.pentaxforums.com/userreviews/tamron-70-200mm-f2-8-di-ld-macro.html). You might want to ensure that's the exact lens you are looking to buy.You lose one stop with the Pentax. Depending on the camera you have, that may be a big deal. I've found I can use the 60-250 with a TC in bright light without problems (it's a 5.6 lens when the TC is used with it) for action photography. I use mine for wildlife and sports photography (outdoor mainly) and it does everything I need. I have the Pentax lens and absolutely love it. I do not have, nor have never used, the Tamron lens.

For my N7000 I have the Nikon 18-105mm and 55-300mm lenses.I am unsure which macro lens to get.I am interested in documents photos as well as the usual insects,birds,flowers close-ups and will appreciate advice on the pros and cons of the various macro lenses ,Nikor and others,that might be suitable.

Thanks Anne. I will definitely look into this as I would like to get a UV filter for the lens.

I have a 80-400mm Nikon and a Tamron 70-200 mm 2.8 and they both fit, How long is your lens closed all the way?

The Info says the Nikon D300 one of the only Nikons that work with Tamron 200mm-500mm Lens. It will have a slow aperture at 500mm. The lens does not have an internal auto focus. But your camera does . So auto autofocus should work.

Make sure the version you are considering to purchase says it has a "Nikon Mount." Tamron, Sigma, and several other third party manufacturers make lenses for multiple brands, the only difference being the mount plate.

It comes with the tulip lens hood and a Tamron logoed cap. Great lens ! Would suggest a UV filter primarily for front lens protection. If you edit your photos, no need to spend on a polarizer unless you are concerned about reflections. Easy to darken skies as needed.

The one I bought was specific for the Nikon 70-200 F4. I would think the odds of it fitting another lens extremely remote. I can't say for sure but I would not take the chance. I had the Tamron lens and didn't think it was long enough to require the mount, but that is my opinion only. As an example, I have a ring I bought for a Canon 70-200 F4 several years ago and I hoped it would fit the Nikon. No such luck. They make a lot of money selling these after market items and I am fairly sure they want as little lens to lens compatibility as possible.

I bought a 67mm UV filter and a 67mm Circular Polarizing filter. I bought the adapter from Amazon but it was sold by New West Direct. This adapter does screw onto the camera body as Jo Art has said and works great. From the imprint on the adapter ring it appears that the adapter is essentially a 51mm-67mm converter. After buying it I wondered whether it might have been better to buy a 51mm-56mm or 51mm-57mm or even a 51mm-58mm step-up adapter ring and use some of the filters I already have.

Tamron told me there is a firmware update that must be installed to work well with the 70D. It was just developed about two months ago. Any lenses made before then will need the update installed. I just sent me lens to Tamron this week for them to update it. Up to this point I could only take a handful of pictures at a time before it brought up an error message telling me to clean the contacts on the lens or camera (can't remember the exact wording). I'm hoping all is well when I get the lens back this week.

I bought this kit .. The Tamron .. 70-300 I have come to love this lens . It macro setting are wonderful and is a good telephoto. Now there is no vibration control, but I have seem to work past that. The Auto focus is quick and it can produce some great DOF on you photo. You can check out my photo stream @ https://www.flickr.com/photos/obelis/ for the most part all the photo since I have bought this kit are with both the Tamron and the Nikon that come with this kit. (I have added a 50mm a telephoto 500mm and from time to time use a 1.5x teleconverter) The bag is nice quality, The SD Card is still going strong, The remote works great. The Tripod well it will do in a pinch it not bad, but nothing to write home about. . As for the Flash ..Well I tested it and it works but I have never used. (I try never to use flash and this camera takes great photo in low light.)
