[REVIEW-TAMRON AF 18-270mm f3.5-6.3 Macro zoom lens]
This is an 18-270mm zoom lens that is image stabilised. Tamron calls it "The Ultimate All-In-One Zoom: Longest, Steadiest Lens On Earth", which is one of those records made to be broken. It is available in Nikon and Canon mounts.
Pros:
- The sheer versatility of this lens makes you overlook its weaknesses
- It is a pleasure to be able to walk around with a lens that replaces a bag full of lesser range zooms and primes.
Cons:
- Auto focus is slow, particularly at the long end of the range
- It is not suitable for fast moving subjects
- There is noticeable distortion which is just acceptable at wide angle, but the pincushion effect at the long end is so bad that it demands correction in software
- Zoom creep is irritating

Tamron 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC Piezo Lens [REVIEW]
When I review lenses I take a look at who they are built for. I realize not every DPS reader wants to lug around a 5lb lens worth a couple month's rent. While I love my main lens, it's not for everyone and I'd be a fool to tell you you should buy it if you just want a portrait lens.

Tamron 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD AF review by Mhudon
The many reviews I have read about this lens tend to be a little harsh. It's far from perfect, but it gives you an incredible reach in a very small and light format. Autofocus is fast, color rendition and general image quality is predictable.
Pros:
- Small
- light
- fast autofocus
- good stabilization
Cons:
- Dust got in between the two first glass elements at the back of the lens after 8 weeks

The test results in the lab are a little disappointing from this lens, but it's still a good option for travelling light. The lens actually handles really well, and the VC stabilisation is very impressive.
