[QUOTE="nickt, post: 570032, member: 4923"] I got this lens back when I got my d3100. I was happy with it then, but I was mostly taking snaps of my kid at school activities. It worked for me and I wasn't the dad with the big huge camera. At the time I really wasn't working on getting the best shots I could. As my interest turned to birds and other animals, I found this lens on the soft side and struggled for the sharpness I wanted. My next step forward was the 18-105 and the Tamron SP 70-300. Both lenses gave me sharper shots more easily. I haven't really tried the 18-270 on my d7200. I found this review to be accurate: [URL]https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/tamron-18-270mm-3p5-6p3-vc-pzd[/URL] Another point mentioned in the review.... At close focus range, you don't get 270mm, more like 200mm. Focus breathing, I think this is called. [/QUOTE]
