Tamron Expands Nikon Compatibility of 28-75mm and 28-300m Zoom Lenses
The Tamron AF28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di VC LD Aspherical (IF) Macro lens is available with a Nikon mount with a $599 retail price.

Tamron has introduced new Nikon-mount versions of two of its zoom lenses. The SP AF28-75mm F/2.8 XR Di LD Aspherical (IF) Macro (model A09NII) and AF28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di VC LD Aspherical (IF) Macro (model A20NII) both incorporate a built-in autofocus motor to make them compatible with Nikon cameras that do not use body-driven motors, such as the D60 and D40/x digital SLRs. The lenses are otherwise identical to existing versions with mounts for other SLR brands. You can read our reviews of the 28-75mm and 28-300mm optics.

The 28-75mm lens is available for $399 and the 28-300mm lens for $599.
