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

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.

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.
