Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2

Pros: Tropicalized, weight, cost, Versatility, ark swiss plate .

Cons: The Hood could have been more important, soft from 550mm onwards.

Opinion: Purchased for about 2 years, first combined with a Nikon D7200, where it worked very well without the need for special micro adjustments to the autofocus, from 150mm to 500mm in subjects at the right distance the lens shows itself very sharp, with natural colors and contrast, in the Nikon D500, after an accurate micro fine adjustment of the autofocus, in optimal light conditions it is almost a blade, surprising as it works well from F / 5.0 or 6.3 up, with a micro detail excellent for a zoommone, obvious that if you shoot at 600mm to very distant subjects it becomes soft, especially at the edges, but it is the classic flaw of zooms, I find the image stabilizer excellent, which allows you to shoot with relatively low times , very useful especially for those who practice traveling photo hunting. Arca swiss plate supplied, excellent tropicalization and finishes in general. As almost any third-party lens can suffer from front / back focus, so I find very useful the tap-in console of Tamron, after a bit 'of tests and meticulous controls you can safely set the autofocus to your liking avoiding to send the lens in assistance, so as to avoid further additional costs. Slight chromatic aberration at TA.

Nikon D7200

Pros: Excellent Dynamic Range, tropicalization, double slot sd, Excellent Iso estate.

Cons: Live view, modest burst.

Opinion: Excellent machine, a professional in Aps-c although it is called semipro,Good AF in speed and precise, ergonomic handle, versatile for all genres, Raw files that allow PP to recover with great ease, excellent dynamic range,Wifi embedded that through special app allow you to shoot with your smartphone, solid and tropicalized machine body, discreet the burst both in speed and buffer, excellent option of facilitated iso, which allows through the dial to easily adjust the iso when shooting in diaphragm priority. Ability to use the battery grip, and comfortable double slot for ssd boards, excellent iso seal in good light you can safely push up to 3200. In my opinion one of the best Aps-c reflexes out there

Nikon AF-S DX 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED VR

Pros: Good All-Rounder, discreetly sharp, little distortion, good A-f, and acceptable aberrations.

Cons: A little dark, plastic attack,if you do not pay attention suffers a bit of flare.

Opinion: Ultimately the focal excursion makes it a good lens all do, to carry in your bag when traveling. A bit plastic in the construction and the dial of the focus limited. When used in good light condition can still give good shots with a quality color rendering. The plastic bayonet attachment is the real sore neo of this lens, but if used with caution it should not create problems. Some chromatic aberration and not very bright.
