Any problem in having Nikon D7000 along with Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 SP Di VC USD?
I'm planning to purchase Nikon D7000 along with Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 SP Di VC USD, i'm confused as D7000 is "DX" where as the Tamron Lens is for "FX".so, will this will be a problem. If, yes than what problems as i really like and want to purchase the Tamron lens.
Added (1). Also if possible suggest me a good lens in 70-300mm range
Added (2). Ok by the reply i also looked into nikkor lens
and found a one ie Nikkor AF-S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G IF-ED VR
what you say about this lens.
please reply
That lens will work fine on the D7000, but its a junk lens. You're better off with a Nikkor 70-300 or 55-200 VR.
Not really. FX is Nikon's designation for 35mm or digital equivalent lenses.
DX is the smaller sensor used on entry-level and intermediate DSLRs. The D7000 can use both perfectly well, but a DX lens won't fit the D3 or D4.
The Tamron isn't bad, check out the Nikon and Sigma equivalents if you like.
You have some good advice, but for the idea that a DX lens will not work on a full frame Nikon camera. They will. The full frame Nikon cameras automatically crop the sensor to prevent vignetting.
The person who said that the DX lenses will not work with full frame Nikon's is confused because with the Canon system, the EF-S (Canon's version of Nikon's DX lenses) can't be used on full frame Canon cameras because the rear element extends too far into the camera and will damage the mirror and on the other end, the mirror will scratch the rear element of the Canon lens
When purchasing lenses, the goal is to buy a specific focal length lens only once because Nikkor and Canon lenses last for decades. Most generic lenses like Tamron and Sigma don't last twenty or thirty years. The lens barrels wear out and aperture blades slow down causing inconsistencies in the images exposure
While either 70-300mm lenses will work, you are cheating yourself out of wide angle stuff, like a landscape, or close work of people. May I suggest the Tamron 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD? It gives you much needed 18-70mm use that the 70-300mm doesn't. I own one for my Nikon D90 and love it. See some of the results of using this lens here.
