All-in-one zoom for APS-C

The Tamron 16-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD Macro covers an 18.8x zoom range from 16mm wide-angle to 300mm telephoto on APS-C format DSLRs. It combines vibration compensation and Piezo Drive autofocusing with macro capability at 300mm focal length. This single lens suits photographers who want wide, telephoto and close-up options without changing glass.

Mount and format compatibility

Verify that your camera uses the Nikon F mount and has an APS-C sized sensor before ordering. The lens is designed for Di II format coverage and will not provide full-frame illumination on larger sensors. Autofocus function requires a camera body with a built-in focus motor or compatible drive system.

Stabilisation and handling

Vibration compensation helps reduce camera shake at longer focal lengths such as 300mm where the maximum aperture is F/6.3. The 16-element, 12-group construction with multiple coatings aims to deliver clear, sharp images across the zoom range. Minimum focus distance is 15.3 inches at the telephoto end for macro work.

Questions about this item

Does the box include the 16-300mm F/3.5-6.3 lens and hood, or must the hood be bought separately?

The 16-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD Macro zoom lens and its dedicated hood are supplied together in the box.

Should I choose the 16mm wide end or the 300mm tele end for APS-C everyday shooting?

The 18.8× zoom covers both 16mm wide-angle and 300mm telephoto on APS-C, so a single copy handles the whole range without swapping lenses.

What does the 18.8× zoom ratio mean when the lens is mounted on a Nikon DX body?

It delivers a continuous 16-300mm focal span — 82°12' at the wide end down to 5°20' at 300mm — with 15.3 in minimum focus at maximum telephoto.
