Sure, here’s my enriched review:

The Tamron SP AF 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di LD Aspherical (IF) lens is an excellent option for photographers on a budget who want a decent quality lens. Although it’s not a Nikon lens, it still provides good optic quality and performs well, with a fast and consistent focusing speed that’s accurate. The constant 2.8 aperture is a big plus, as is the fact that it doesn’t change size when focusing, thanks to the aspherical design.

One of the biggest pluses of this lens is its affordability. You can get a decent quality lens for only $300, which is a fraction of what many other lenses cost. It’s also semi-heavy, which gives it a more durable feel without weighing a ton.

On the negative side, this lens isn’t the best in the market and doesn’t offer the same sharpness as higher-end lenses. The plastic lens barrel can feel a bit cheap, but for its price point, it’s acceptable. If you’re using a full-frame camera like the D700 and zooming out to the wide angle, you may notice a bit of vignetting in the corners. Finally, it changes size when zooming in and out, which is common for lenses in this price range.

Overall, this is one of my favorite lenses, and I keep it on my camera most of the time. While it’s not the same quality as a more expensive Nikon lens, it’s a great budget alternative that performs well. I’d recommend it over the pricier Sigma lens equivalent. If you’re not expecting a Nikon lens and don’t need the absolute best in quality, this lens is an excellent option for the price.
