Tamron Aspherical LD XR DI II SP AF 17-50mm 1: 2.8 [IF] A16, Model A16 N II
- Canon - Model A16E (good review here)
- Pentax - Model A16P
- Sony / Minolta - Model A16S
- Nikon - Model A16N or A16N II
In total, the line of such Tamron lenses for Nikon cameras consists of four models:
- Tamron Aspherical LD XR DI II SP AF 17-50mm 1: 2.8 [IF] - Model A16N, February 2006 (country of origin - Japan or Vietnam)
- Promaster DIGITAL XR EDO AF Ashperical LD [IF] 17-50mm 1: 2.8, which is a model of the Tamron Model A16 N under the Promaster brand.
- Tamron Aspherical LD XR DI II SP AF 17-50mm 1: 2.8 [IF] - Model A16NIIMarch 2008, the model is shown in this review.
- Tamron Di II SP 17-50mm F / 2.8 VC - Model B005NII, September 2009, review is located here.
Difference between Tamron A16 N II and Tamron A16 N
- Tamron A16 N Model Older
- The Tamron A16 N does not have a built-in focus motor and is similar to the 'AF' lens for Nikon cameras. The Tamron A16 N II has a built-in focus motor and is the counterpart to the 'AF-S' lens for Nikon cameras. The older Tamron A16 N model will not automatically focus on Nikon cameras without a built-in focus motor, an accurate and complete list of cameras without a focus motor can be viewed here... Be careful, both models are labeled 'Tamron AF', but this abbreviation does not refer to Nikon's designations and can be confusing.
- The Tamron A16 N II has an AF / MF focus mode switch. The older version lacks such a switch.
- The Tamron A16 N has a screwdriver slot on the bayonet side, which connects the camera focusing motor to the lens focusing mechanism. The Tamron A16 N II lacks this slot.
- Tamron A16 N has 5 microprocessor contacts, Tamron A16 N II has 8 microprocessor contacts (interesting information on microprocessor contacts here).
- Lenses come in different boxes. The Tamron A16 N II version has a clear indication of its model, it says 'Model: A16 N II, Built-In Motor for Nikon D'.
Please note that the Tamron A16 N II and Tamron A16 N models have the same name spelling on their case and only the generic 'A16' model is indicated throughout. Be careful when shopping. The easiest way to distinguish lenses from each other is the number of microprocessor contacts. Also, for Tamron A16 N II version, 'A16N II' is indicated on the box.
In short
Tamron Aspherical LD XR DI II SP AF 17-50mm 1: 2.8 [IF] A16 (abbreviated as Tamron A16 N II) is high-speed universal zoom lens for Nikon DX cameras. Interesting big maximum constant aperture over the entire range of focal lengths and low price. The native analog of this lens is Nikon AF-S Nikkor 17-55mm 1: 2.8G ED IF SWM DXwhich is about 3 times more expensive than the Tamron A16 N II.

What need to know about Tamron A16NII:
- The lens is used constant maximum relative aperture F / 2.8 over the entire range of focal lengths. Actually, this is one of its strengths. The difference in aperture between F / 2.8 and F / 5.6, which are used in simple whale lenses, is 4 times (2 steps).
- Price. The price of the lens is approximately 3 times lower for the native analogue from Nikon.
- Very convenient range of focal lengths. EGF lens for Nikon DX cameras will be 25,4-75 mm which is a very popular focal length range.
- Built-in focus motor. The lens will work with any Nikon digital SLR camera.
- Included lens hood, which helps a little when shooting in side and backlight. The hood can be installed in the reverse position for transportation, in this position it’s a little inconvenient to zoom, and the focus ring is completely locked.
- The diameter of the front filter is 67 mm, which is a standard diameter and will allow you to easily find filters for the lens
- Strange lock buttonwhich locks the zoom at 17mm. Strange because the lens does not have the ability to independently lengthen its 'trunk' and this button is here just for the sake of a tick. Perhaps, over time, the button will come in handy.
- When focusing front element does not rotate or extend, you can use special light filters without any problems. This option in the lens name is called [IF] (Internal Focusing)
Of the disadvantages:
- To focus manually or adjust the focus, be sure to switch the focus mode switch to M on the lens.
- Auto focus is fast enough, but very noisy.
- Spread in quality. My copy was selected on the third attempt.
- Very poor build quality and lens design itself. At first, questions about assembly do not arise, but after prolonged use, the ring near the front lens begins to loosen and the focus ring loosens. Moreover, it seems that the focus ring is about to fall off. The image quality was not affected.
- When focusing manually, hard to focus due to the fact that the focus ring has a stroke of only 45 degrees. Even in Live View mode, getting into focus is very difficult.
Interesting moments:
- The lens is marked SP (Super Performance - super performance), which hints at its professional lenses.
- The lens has a large zoom ring.
- The difference between 17 mm for the amron A16 N II) and 18 mm for the kit lens class 18-55 / 3.5-5.6 is very difficult to feel. So 17mm as a wide angle is not a good idea when choosing a lens.
- I shoot with this lens almost always at three values, this is 2.8 - when needed aperture in poor lighting or a 50 mm portrait. F4.0 - when you need to slightly increase the depth of field without closing the aperture much and F9.0 when you need to get a sharp picture.
- In the position of the zoom ring at 50 mm, the lens does not give a clear 50 mm, but gives a wider angle than a fifty-fifty (fixed lens with real 50 mm focal length). This complicates the photography of portraits by 50 mm a little.
Image quality
The lens has a good contrast, but in lateral light can catch glare and flare. Chromatic aberrations very noticeable at the edges and corners of the image, in the center of aberration are much better compensated. At 17 mm there is a tangible barrel-like distortion. Sharpness - here is a very interesting point, the copy from this review does not give normal sharpness on apertures from F / 2.8 to F / 5.6. Moreover, closing the aperture to F / 5.6, the sharpness changes very weakly. The lens is suffering very strong vignetted on the diaphragms aboutt f / 2.8 to f / 4.0. The lens does not distort color reproduction and has a simple 'bokeh'.

Results
Tamron Aspherical LD XR DI II SP AF 17-50mm 1: 2.8 [IF] A16, model A16 N II is an unusual lens, it is difficult to choose a copy with normal sharpness. The lens assembly is far from professional. The lens attracts a large aperture over the entire range of focal lengths, nice color reproduction and low price.

Good day!
There is a Nikon 80D camera, I want a lens for it. Basically, it is needed for filming in field conditions, that is, it is more landscapes, perhaps people, but hardly close portraits.
Advise that it’s better to take that type of this Tamron or I’m still thinking about a variant of the native Nikon fix (possibly Nikon 35mm f / 2D AF Nikkor).
Hello. Good option https://radojuva.com.ua/2011/03/obzor-nikkor-af-s-35mm-f1-8-dx/
ABOUT! I did not even expect you to answer so quickly, for which many thanks! As far as I understand, it is designed specifically for crop, so it is preferable to that Nikon that I mentioned, right? And I’m still a little curious, I read with you yes, about this lens, could you explain what will be its advantage over this Tamron?
Slightly large aperture 1.8 versus 2.0, quiet focusing, 1.8 very sharp already with 1.8, lens hood included.
Assembled disgustingly - that's right, and the front ring loosened in the first year of life. Further, more - the rubber of the zoom peeled off, then the zoom itself began to wedge and something inside rattled. Unscrew the lens - a screw fell out, twisted it back - I shoot further))
“Strange“ Lock ”button” to help “lock the lens onto the mount, since there is nothing to grab onto”)
I read about the terrible assembly, and I am interested in such a question, but who collects this lens?
Written by Made in Japan, Japanese, therefore.
Thank you, but I thought that there might be several assemblies, and those from Japan are better in constructive terms.
I just choose such a Tamron. It is also of Chinese assembly, on the case there is a corresponding inscription and a lower price. But there is no difference in quality I did not find out. But I will buy Japanese.
please tell me, the situation is this: I travel a lot at the same time, sometimes I need to photograph rooms (I need a big grip), which is more suitable (Tamron 17-50mm F / 2.8 XR Di II LD Aspherical (IF)) or Tamron AF 28-75mm f / 2.8 SP XR Di LD Aspherical (IF)
as I understand it, the 1st capture is more
and 2 brings it closer.
Yes, 17-50 gives a wider viewing angle, however, if you use 28-75mm in full frame, then the angles are almost the same.
Hello, Arkady. Please tell me, if you do not take into account its 2,8, then how is this lens compared to the whale 18-55 in terms of color reproduction and picture quality in general?
Better in every way.
I bought this lens in August 2012 and I don't understand why they write here that the assembly is disgusting ...?
The build is great! Plastic in quality as the Nikon D5100 camera itself. No backlash, everything is firmly in place. The zoom and focus move smoothly, without interference.
The autofocus motor runs silently and instantly finds a target.
Used as the main one, almost every day.
Visit this page in a year, most likely the opinion will change.
how it all is - it's sad ... but I want it so that the quality of the shooting is a little worse, but also the reliability as in 16-85, oh - yes, at least like in 18-105! and that would be super! I shot 18-105 2,5 years on D3000 + D90 - and went to another owner to work on ... is it really a new one with a stub the same ???
I haven't used a new one with a stub for a long time, whether it will fall apart - I can't say.
By the way, about the incomprehensible LOCK latch, which blocks the zoom. It was made in order to make it more convenient to put the lens on the camera, and not against an independent attack of the trunk)
dealt with this lens on a croaked Sonya.
optically for this money, this lens is simply a miracle. unless, of course, a successful specimen comes across, because the marriage and scatter of this model is just wild.
the main problem is constructiveness. at first, the tight zoom gets loose over time and the lens can generally become completely unusable.
PS. you have a great site, thank you very much for the materials!
The author, please comment on the proposal from the article - “Very convenient focal length range. 17-50mm converted to 35mm will give an angle of view equivalent to 26-75mm. ”After all, this lens is designed for DX cameras, nothing needs to be recounted. If I am wrong, correct me. Is this lens for FX cameras obtained?
Yes, they are wrong. The focal length is a physical quantity, independent of the matrix. You need to recalculate for all lenses that are used on the crop. Or do you think that this Tamron gives real full-frame 17mm?
Oddly enough, I was advised to pay attention to the subject as a good landscape lens (for amateur use, of course).
How is he for you in this context?
Weak, but possible.
I suffered for a long time when choosing. I was warned right away in the store - you shouldn't buy without a carcass - you should immediately check it on the device on which it will stand. I chose the best visually (one squeaked strangely when rotating the focusing ring, the other had an ugly irregular ring created by the aperture blades) and eventually chose the third one. I got home and the carcass (Nikon D5000) and was pleasantly stunned. I think it's lucky. Sharpness is almost uniform throughout the field. Focusing is accurate - when focusing from 4 meters on the handle on the table and lighting with one 40W bulb, it is good - I missed twice out of 50 frames. There is no soap at 2,8. The only small software with good sharpness at 50mm. I got a similar version on Heliosei-44 when it was open. The software is even interesting for portraits of women - the skin already glows. So I'm happy as an elephant)))
Congratulations on your successful purchase!
But I also forgot - I hope this is only my lens has such bokeh (maybe a marriage, but I like it) - two uniform swirl areas are clearly visible at 50mm
Arkady, do you think that this lens is short-lived and everything will become loose in a year? I have a model A16NII (the latest version with its own motor, without a stabilizer, 2-year warranty), there are no complaints about the quality of the pictures, the zoom ring is spinning a little, so I try not to make sudden movements. Now I think - to sell it faster, while the condition is excellent? I understand that I must make the decision myself, I just would like to know how long I can count on. I shoot purely as an amateur, I handle it carefully, I go out on a photo shoot 1-2 times a week.
With a caring attitude, it can last a very long time. With a light load, after a year, the lens comes in a terrible appearance.
Clearly, then I will not flog a fever, and appearance is not so important to me - if only it works :)
Maybe I came across a copy with an excellent picture, sharpness contrast, etc. everything is on the level. But after 2.5 years it fell apart. Such is the constructive :( He was careful, didn’t get wet and got wet. Now he has sworn to buy tamronosigma. And I don’t advise anyone. It means that everything can be cheap if it comes out. If you use it, of course.
Well, for Sigma - then you are in vain ... to them especially claims in terms of design and durability are never budo - let's say I have 85 \ 1.4 sigma for 6 years already I shot more than 400.000 frames - I bomb on weddings .... the lens works like a clock, and structurally did not loosen up - the rubber bands did not move out, etc. ... and I often see tamrons in my colleagues in a very deplorable state - although they are much newer ... on the same principle I bought 10-20 \ 3.5 from sigma ... in fact, in the standard zoom, focal lengths up to the shu range are important - 50mm fix is available.
Arkady, I realized that you wanted to tell me about the construct in the “Review of D3000” branch ... but if you compare the new stabbed tamron - does it have the same construct? You wrote that this is essentially a different lens with a different design ... maybe in a stable one - the construct is better?
This tamron is very good for its low price. I have been using it for 1,5 years, but I had to shoot a lot. (I got a copy for all 5+, A16NII) Well, now the nuances: without leaving even a year there was a gap in the zoom rings, the focus rings on the flash jumped from the gap, it was annoying ... I repaired it in the service ... then everything is buzzing again, there are still no backlashes, but for the last 2 months I began to observe terrible focus misses, and at the moment the focus is completely broken, from back focus to front focus. But still, the number of footage shot during this period outweighs these problems, now it is already on the shelf, and one of these days I will go for a new one (I thought I would try sigma 17-50 f / 2.8, but the desire somehow disappeared, he is not worth his of money). I'll take tamron again, because the staff is needed whatever one may say, if only the copy was good.
but, nevertheless, reliability plays a paramount role ... but you will not say anything about the stubborn tamron? how is he constructively? Arkady said in his review that this is a different lens in everything - both optically and mechanically
I did not use it, but judging by the reviews of people on the forums, it is advised to take the version all the same without a stub - if optically, but mechanically, it seems like with a better stub, this opinion developed after reading a bunch of forums and reviews. By the way, I was in the store yesterday and ... all the same, I took sigma 17-50, until I regret it, and then we'll see.
Yes, it’s more important for me to work longer (but this of course does not mean that the picture quality is not important, I just don’t want to take it for a year) but why is Sigma better / worse from a tamron? thank you
all the same, the opinion was formed about tamron without a stub, if they shoot a lot, then in this situation it seems to me that the service ceiling is about 1-2 years or maybe less, and if not frequent, so to speak, home, then I think it will last much longer ... (this is my personal opinion) Sigma initially did not want to, all the same it was hooked by a rather impressive assembly, and accurate, fast autofocus, after tamron it was even unusual))) but this is critical to me. Well, the quality of the picture has not really taken off, but certainly not worse than tamron, the stub is really, as they write on the forums - tin, it works at all 150%) although it is not so important to me, but nice)
Maxim, so constructive sharpness and focus - are you talking about Sigma or tamron - who is better?
... accurate, fast autofocus, ... but this is critical for me. Well, the quality of the picture has not really taken off, but certainly not worse than tamron, the stub is really, as they write on the forums, tin, works at all 150%) although it is not so important to me, but nice) ... - it's all about Sigma I wrote.
hmm ... it means sigma is not only better constructive - but also a picture ... it's not in vain that it costs more than 5000 UAH ... I'll think about it (how I will dig up the money) or I'll take it or Nikon's 17-55 2,8 ... it will be seen by the money, thanks!
Tell me, I bought a Tamron 17-50, I didn’t know any problems for half a year, now the lens has often missed with sharpness, and say adjustment can help solve this problem. I use with nikon d700
Is it just me or is this Tampron always a little overexposed? And the colors are somehow pale ...
I wanted to buy it, but if from each photo you need to draw colors and adjust the exposure ... then it's better to buy some whale (you need a wide angle for small rooms), which I don't have and have never had.
Correct me if not right.
Examples of photos in this review without processing, draw your own conclusions.
Good day. Nikon D7000 + Nikon 50mm 1.8G + Helios 81H are available. I shoot cats in a small studio, very little space - I have to climb walls, sometimes sacrifice shots. The settings are basically ISO 100, aperture f / 10 and shutter speed 1/320. Read your review of Tamron 28-75 f2.8, fired up with a purchase. It seems to me it is worth selling fifty kopecks, as it will not be in demand and Tamron is more versatile on a walk. How do you think?
I think you are more conscious in this situation and will make the most correct choice.
Thank you
