Extremely good lens All my reviews
This lens is compact, light and operates smoothly. It appears to have a good zoom range. It gives a good sharp rendition. It is priced right and is good value.

Tamron 18–270mm F/3.5–6.3 Di II VC PZD Lens
Tamron's 18–270mm Di II lens has been designed for photographers entering the DSLR market after shooting with compact cameras with 10–15x zoom lenses, or for travel photographers looking for an all-in-one lens to avoid swapping lenses on their trip.
Pros:
- Impressive image quality (normal to short telephoto
- Excellent resistance to flare
- Effective vibration correction system
Cons:
- Slow
- occasionally indecisive autofocus
- Geometric distortion across much of the zoom range
- Chromatic aberration at wide and telephoto

One lens for most occasions.
I was looking for a lens that I could attach to my D5200 to meet the requirements for most occasions, so I did not have to carry several lens all the time. This lens does everything I was looking for, excellent! Auto focus works well, lens is not too heavy and easy to attach.

The Big Easy
I had a Tamron of similar range for my last non digital Minolta SLR. Despite being assured my lenses would fit my Sony Alpha, if at slightly different f numbers, I was unhappy to find that that particular lens did not cross over.

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

It replaced 3 Canon Lenses
The lens was a Christmas gift from my wife. I was very happy with its low light capability and its sharpness. I use a Canon EOS 2T and this lens is replacing 3 Canon Lenses.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
Cons:
- Heavy
- Needs Low Light Improveme

Much greater than I expected
I bought this for my wife, who's not great at swapping lenses and likes taking candid shots. I imagined that the quality would be compromised by the zoom range and limited apeture. Decided to try it myself one day when she was at work, and honestly amazed by the results!
Pros:
- Great Picture Quality
- Lightweight
- Simple Controls

Good overall lens
Good overall lens. Auto focus is very slow compared with my previous Nikon 18-200 mm lens. Not an ideal lens for fast action shots. I use my camera often to take shots at our grandchildrens' soccer games. Focus is also a bit soft and not crisp as the Nikon lens.
