(The focal length on the EXIF is not accurate, this is at <kbd>60mm</kbd>). Combined with the ridiculous macro mode gives this lens a very unusual range for using. It would have been nicer if it was a bit wider than it was long. Still this very cheap lens allow you to take quite good pictures. Do not blame your lenses for poor shots.
• 13:5113:51, 12 July 2021 diff hist +277‎ N File:Tamron60-300 scene.jpg ‎ Unfortunately, the Tamron 60-300 does not have a hard stop at infinity, this is slightly annoying for landscape shots like this, because you have to dial back the focus a bit. It works of course, but it is one more thing to keep in mind while using this lens. current

• 13:4813:48, 12 July 2021 diff hist +365‎ N File:Tamron60-300 raspberry crop.jpg ‎ Shot using Tamron 60-300 and a Nikon D850. The focal length on the EXIF is not accurate. This is a 2:1 crop from the center File:Tamron60-300_raspberry.jpg. Shot in macro mode, if you are patient and have a calm hand it will allow you to make shots like these. Using a 45 Megapixel camera is probably not helping for this.
• 13:4613:46, 12 July 2021 diff hist +262‎ N File:Tamron60-300 raspberry.jpg ‎ Shot using Tamron 60-300 and a Nikon D850. The focal length on the EXIF is not accurate. This is in the macro mode of the lens (handheld). It is quite good, see the crop from the center File:Tamron60-300_raspberry_crop.jpg. current

• 17:0817:08, 11 July 2021 diff hist +334‎ N File:Nikon35-105 flower crop.jpg ‎ A 1:1 crop from the center of File:Nikon35-105_flower.jpg. Taken with a manual focus Nikon 35-105 on a APS-C camera (the Nikon D500), note that the EXIF data is not always accurate as this is an older lens without a CPU. I'm sure there are people that would complain about this, I'm not one of them. current
• 17:0717:07, 11 July 2021 diff hist +450‎ N File:Nikon35-105 flower.jpg ‎ Compare this shot with a crop from the center File:Nikon35-105_flower_crop.jpg, just in case you wanted to say something about sharpness. Taken with a manual focus Nikon 35-105 on a APS-C camera (the Nikon D500), note that the EXIF data is not always accurate as this is an older lens without a CPU. It requires a bit more patience than with a modern autofocus lens, but you can not complain about the lens. current
• 17:0417:04, 11 July 2021 diff hist +316‎ N File:Nikon35-105 church.jpg ‎ Taken with a manual focus Nikon 35-105 on a APS-C camera (the Nikon D500). The wider end (35mm) is still able to get you such a shot, making it possible to use this as a single lens for a short trip. Note that the EXIF data is not always accurate as this is an older lens without a CPU. current
• 17:0317:03, 11 July 2021 diff hist +292‎ N File:Nikon35-105 scenery.jpg ‎ A nice scenery taken with a manual focus Nikon 35-105 on a APS-C camera (the Nikon D500), note that the EXIF data is not always accurate as this is an older lens without a CPU. A hard stop for infinity on the focus ring, makes it easier to get these shots right. current
• 17:0117:01, 11 July 2021 diff hist +356‎ N File:Nikon35-105 tina.jpg ‎ Here we have [https://twitter.com/TinaTheHedgehog Tina the Hedgehog], a travel companion of mine. Taken with a manual focus Nikon 35-105 on a APS-C camera (the Nikon D500), note that the EXIF data is not always accurate as this is an older lens without a CPU. You can see that this lens can be used for portrait shots as well. current
• 16:5916:59, 11 July 2021 diff hist +462‎ N File:Nikon35-105 flowers.jpg ‎ When people talk about the sharpness of a lens, they want to emphasize how good the lens is in the center versus its edges. Closeup shots like this are better than landscape shots for these, as you are not affected by haze. Taken with a manual focus Nikon 35-105 on a APS-C camera (the Nikon D500), note that the EXIF data is not always accurate as this is an older lens without a CPU. Despite its age, this lens is really good. current

• 21:5021:50, 10 July 2021 diff hist +469‎ N File:Sigma150 pacifier.jpg ‎ A tree next to a petting zoo had a pacifier hanging from it. This was shot using a Sigma 150. Notice the bokeh, which tells you that the aperture must be quite large, but then again most of the pacifier is sharp in focus with an aperture of only <kbd>f/5.6</kbd>, which tells you that I was not really that close to the object. While the lens is technically a macro for this shot it was used more as a long (<kbd>225mm</kbd>) lens. current

• 14:4214:42, 28 June 2021 diff hist +554‎ N File:Nikon180 butterfly.jpg ‎ The Nikon 180 at relatively close range is doubling as a macro. Notice that the picture was shot with exposure <kbd>1/2500s</kbd>, in part thinking that the butterfly may leave at any moment, but also in part trying to shoot with a long lens without vibration reduction and without a tripod to stabilize. This is a very challenging lens to get good pictures, and if you are not very experienced (like me), it takes a bit of an effort to get the most out of it. But when you have a go... current
• 14:3714:37, 28 June 2021 diff hist +455‎ N File:Nikon180 fence.jpg ‎ Another example of a pretty ordinary shot of a fence using a Nikon 180. It is hard for me to point out why I like pictures like these from the Nikon 180. Is it the aperture (<kbd>f/2.8</kbd>), the sharpness, the bokeh, I simply can not put my fingers on it. One caveat is that, for a long manual focus lens, such cooperative subjects that do not move are very welcome. A galloping horse would be a bit more challenging. current
• 14:3114:31, 28 June 2021 diff hist +194‎ N File:Nikon180 signs.jpg ‎ The Nikon 180 brings out something even out of seemingly mundane compositions. And if you want to make an article about sharpness, using a lens such as this one could help. current

• 14:1614:16, 28 June 2021 diff hist +408‎ N File:Nikon180 flower crop.jpg ‎ A crop from File:nikon180_flower.jpg. This is shot using a manual focus Nikon 180 on a Nikon D850 and this is 1:1 pixels where the focus was on. The shot was from about 2 meters. Shows two things: # cropping can be very effective, especially if you have pixels to spare like on the Nikon D850 # The Nikon 180 is a phenomenal lens, but you will have to work for it.
• 14:1214:12, 28 June 2021 diff hist +313‎ N File:Nikon180 flower.jpg ‎ This picture looks fairly unspectacular like this. The interesting thing is when you crop and come a bit closer, see File:nikon180_flower_crop.jpg. This is shot using a manual focus Nikon 180 on a Nikon D850 at about 2m distance.. Maybe, using a macro would have been a smarter idea.
