I am not saying TAIR is the best lens ever
I am just saying i love it and i think it is a very good lens.

100% agree, this is a great lens even weakness. It has very good closest distance 1.4m only.

hello everybody,
I have the 300sp 54b, the 60-300sp, the tair3 phs, and was supposed to buy a 400/4 but the seller decide to give it to his nephew instead so my big big lense is a refractor orion 80ed i use for long distance birding.

the tair is quite good for my point of view, but the 54b and the 23a tammies are better.
for my point of view the only competitor for the tamron's is opticaly the sigma apo tele macro 300 f4 ( 77mm filter only / the macro one as the others are exactly what rob said to me previouly )...this screw autofocus for nikon i have is top at f5.6and f8 ...the same quality contrast compared to an mf nikkor 400 ifed



for the very long "lens" , it is a very goog quality but if you read some french have a look there:

or there:,12969.0.html
