Tamron 18-270mm F:3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD Canon 18/270MM F:3.5-6.3 C review

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.

The Tamron 18-270mm F3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD is a compact and lightweight superzoom that manages to fit a huge zoom range into a compact, lightweight package. Throw in its quiet PZD autofocus and optical image stabilization, and it's a very versatile little lens that's well worth considering if you're...
Pros:
  • Very useful 15x zoom range
  • Good image quality at wideangle
  • Quiet autofocus
  • Reasonably effective image stabilization
  • Compact and lightweight
Cons:
  • Rather soft at telephoto
  • especially wide open
  • Strong distortion across most of the range
  • Chromatic aberration at each end of the zoom (most pronounced at telephoto
  • Slower autofocus than its peers

Sometimes great, sometimes pretty ordinary. Unfortunately more of the latter than the former. My older Tamron 18-250mm 3.5-6.3 is a much better lens. I'd like to use this lens more (because of the convenience) but I just can't rely on it.
Pros:
  • Inconsistent image quality (mainly focus
Cons:
  • Great all-round package

Good lens.

Good lens.. while this gives the much needed focal range, this lens takes longer time to focus and get ready to shoot compared to the Canons.

Tamron 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD review

The Tamron 18-270mm F3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD is a perfectly competent superzoom that squeezes a huge focal length range into a compact package. Autofocus is slower than its competitors, however, and image quality is weak at the telephoto end.
Pros:
  • Anyone looking for a compact, lightweight, all-in-one general purpose and travel lens.
Cons:
  • Sports or action work that requires fast autofocus
