Hands-on Review: Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD
Tamron is the master of extremely long, complex lens names and the Tamron AF 18-270mm Di II VC LD Aspherical (IF) MACRO is no exception. Be aware, however, that the last part of the lens's name ("MACRO") is a misnomer. Although this lens allows close focusing, it is not a true macro.

Tamron 18-270mm F3.5-6.3 VC PZD NIKON 18-270MM LENS review
The Tamron 18-270 mm VC joined the megazoom class and set a new record of the zoom ratio. Elbowing your way in this segment is not easy though, and the standards were set high by the Nikkor 18-200 mm VR and the Sigma 18-200 OS.
Pros:
- very universal focal lengths range,
- efficient image stabilization,
- good image quality in the frame centre in the range of 18-200 mm,
- decent performance at the frame edge in the range of 18-200 mm,
- moderate or low chromatic aberration in the range of 18-200 mm,
- quite well corrected coma,
- good...
Cons:
- slow and not very accurate autofocus,
- weak action of zoom ring and manual focus ring,
- weak performance at 270 mm,
- distinct vignetting in all focal range,
- high distortion.

Tamron 18-270mm F3.5-6.3 VC PZD NIKON 18-270MM LENS 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.

tamron lens is sub par
beach camera is a terrible company to deal with. endless hold times, when i am connected, i'm told that i have dialed the wrong number... when clearly the phone number on their invoice is the number i have dialed... unable to return the lens after only 1.5 weeks, for a full refund.
Pros:
- the glass is miserable
Cons:
- the entire lens is a disappointment

The Tamron 18-270mm Di II VC has a superb focal length range, and also benefits from built-in Vibration Control (VC). Available in both Canon and Nikon fits, the lens is priced at £450, which we feel is a tad high for a lens like this.
