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.

The 18-270mm is not a new focal length for Tamron, as the brand produced one before that coveted the title of the world's longest focal length range for SLR cameras. But this latest release introduces a newly developed AF motor called the Piezo ultrasonic motor (PZD) that delivers faster, quieter...

Tamron AF18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD; Sometimes One Size Does Fit All
Tamron has always been a pioneer in the do-everything zoom lens category and their new AF18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD lens is no exception. Don't be intimidated by those initials-it's all good stuff-and I'll get to them shortly.

Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD review
This isn't the only improvement to the lens, though, as it is now 24% smaller than the old model, therefore taking up even less space in your travel bag. Superzooms are a popular choice for photographers wanting an all-in-one lens when transporting a full kit bag is impractical.

Great do-it-all lens
The quality of this lens surpassed my expectations! Light-weight and compact, with very good sharpness in the centre, as well as a quiet and fast auto focus. VC works a treat and have had NO dud photos after 100 test shots.

Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD - Review / Test Report
The new PZD lens corrects another "issue" of the 18-270 VC: in the past, Tamron super-zooms have usually combined a very large zoom range with a very compact design. The 18-270 VC did not quite fit here, being surprisingly large for a Tamron zoom lens.

Tamron 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD
The Tamron 18-270mm offers good value for money, considering it covers such a wide range of focal lengths in one lens. Photographers will need to consider the trade-offs for the low price compared to camera brand lenses from Canon and Nikon, which include soft images at full magnification as well as...
Pros:
- Compact design
- 15x equivalent
- Lightweight for an all-in-one lens
Cons:

- Loud autofocus
- even louder image stabilisation system
