Interesting… of 45 unique posters to date- 19 own a 28-300 lens- Nikon or Tamron
19 posters make no claim to owning a 28-300 lens of any manufacture
and seven declare they do NOT own a 28-300 lens.

As we all know, UHH is a forum for discussion of photography, related subjects, a few off the wall subjects but it is, primarily, a structure sharing images. In the matter of the 28-300mm lens’ use as a “walk around lens” I suggest we compare the output of those promoting the lens to those with other ideas.

With that in mind, I assessed all posters on this topic, as either an owner of the lens, or they do not own the lens. Those making no clear statement of ownership are their own group.

Seven posters not owning a 28-300mm lens created 398 topics on the Hog for an average of 56.86 topics each.

Those 19 posters unclear of owning the subject lens- have created 465 topics total and thus average 24.47 topics each.

There are 19 who proudly own and use a 28-300mm lens and posted to this topic. They have created 12,980 topics for a whopping average of 683.16 topics each.

Understand, in each instance, “topics created” may or may not include original images and, admittedly, there’s no clear evidence the created topics are the result from using a 28-300mm lens. However, I suggest, based on my own experience and the experiences, habits and statements presented in this forum by 28-300mm owners, it is indeed a lens that is considerably walked around and those walking around are prolific photographers.

Granted, the 24-120 zoom is popular as are the18-200, 35 and 50mm lenses… but, I’m suspicious NONE will yield similar numbers of topics created.
