I bought this lens along with my sister my father to his 60th birthday because he wanted a telephoto lens for his Nikon D3200. However, the Nikkor lenses from manufacturers were too expensive for us, so we decided for Tamron. Meanwhile, I have already used myself from time to time the camera and lens and am still convinced of the Preisleistungsverhälltnis. With full zoom, however you need a steady hand, since the lens does not have image stabilization. Even so, most shots succeed even at large distances good to very good. Every time we would decide again for this lens.
