Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can this lens be used on A Canon Elon 7 film camera?

A: No, it cannot. The Tamron 16-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD MACRO Lens for Canon is specifically designed for use on Canon DSLR cameras that use the smaller APS-C sensor. Attempting to use this lens on a full-frame 35mm film camera may physically damage the camera's reflexing mirror, rear optical lens element, or both the camera and lens.

Q: 2. Is the Tamron 16-300 mm lens compatible with the TAP-in console?

A: Unfortunately, this lens cannot be used with the TAP-In Console.

Q: 3. Is this lens better than using 2 separate lenses? i.e. 18-55mm and 75-300mm?

A: I gave this lens to my daughter, this is what she wrote:Depending on what you want your aperture to be, I myself prefer using only one lens due to simplicity and laziness. If you need to take a lot of photos in dim light, I'd buy two different lenses with a more sensitive aperture; but for the everydayuse without the requirement of low f-numbers, I enjoy the wide range of possibilities this lens gives. I have several other lenses, but I barely use them since this one covers the wide range of angle of view and so most of my needs. So, I'd day 'yes', for me, this is a better lens.

Q: 4. Is this compatible with cannon 80d and do you think it is better than 18-400

A: Yes, both the 18-400 and 16-300 are compatible. Both are quite similar, but the 18-400 is slightly larger and heavier due to its slightly longer range/optical design and vibration compensation (VC) mechanisms.

Q: 5. Is this compatible with a Canon T5 Rebel? If not what do you recommend that is similar?

A: This version is for the Nikon F mount, however, you could use the Tamron 16-300 designed for Canon EF.

Q: 6. Will this lens work with the Nikon D60

A: As the above Tamron 16-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD MACRO Lens for Canon is designed for use on the Canon EF lens mount, it will not be compatible with the Nikon D60. You would have to purchase the Tamron 16-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD MACRO Lens for Nikon, B&H # TA1630035DIN, for use on the Nikon D60 DSLR camera.

Q: 7. Is this an FX lens?

A: No this is a dx lens so if you do have a dx camera I highly recomend this lense. It's a great value and high quality

Q: 8. I recently purchased a Nikon Z fc from B&H. Will I get full the functionality of this lens with my Z fc by adding a Nikon FTZ adapter? Thank you.

A: While the Tamron 16-300 is not made anymore so we cannot test it, technically it should work on your camera when using the FTZ adapter.

Q: 9. WILL THIS WORK ON NIKON D5300?

A: Yes, the Tamron 16-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD MACRO Lens for Nikon is fully compatible with the Nikon D5300.

Q: 10. Is it compatible with full frame camera - canon 6d?

A: I don't think it is compatible w 6d. the info says for APS-C cameras, and the rear probably protrudes into the sensor area like Canon EF-S lenses do. Tamron makes a 28-300 lens for full-frame bodies.
