A newer, compact revision of their 18-270mm super-zoom lens that sports an improved vibration compensation system and a piezo ultrasonic motor.

The Tamron 18-270mm is an excellent all-round lens, capable of being used for landscape, wildlife, portraits and even close-up shots. It's a great lens for the enthusiast photographer and boasts a full set of features including stabiliser, ultrasonic focus and good quality optics.

The Tamron 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di-II VC PZD offers an eye-watering focal range that translates to a huge 15x optical zoom

I often recommend this lens to people who are looking to replace their twin lens kit or those who are buying a new camera and are looking for a lens that is versatile and easy to travel with.

Designed specifically for DSLR cameras with 'APS-C sized' imagers, Tamron's latest ultra-zoom lens, the AF18-270mm Di-II claims to offer the world's largest zoom ratio of any current lens.

Compact Design; Easy To Use; Improves Picture Quality

Tamron is the master of extremely long, complex lens names and the Tamron AF 18-270mm Di II VC LD Aspherical (IF) MACRO is no exception. Be aware, however, that the last part of the lens's name ("MACRO") is a misnomer. Although this lens allows close focusing, it is not a true macro.

The Tamron 18-270 mm VC joined the megazoom class and set a new record of the zoom ratio. Elbowing your way in this segment is not easy though, and the standards were set high by the Nikkor 18-200 mm VR and the Sigma 18-200 OS.
