The latest design to emerge from the stable of superzoom experts Tamron, the AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD Aspherical (IF) MACRO was announced in July 2008. The length of the zoom range is almost as remarkable as that of the lens's name itself, with the 15x ratio covering everything from a 28mm...
Pros:
- Remarkable 15x focal length range
- Impressive image quality in the normal to short telephoto range
- Excellent resistance to flare
- Effective vibration correction system
- at least 3 stops benefit
- Reasonably compact despite the long telephoto range
Cons:
- Slow and occasionally indecisive autofocus
- Geometric distortion across much of the zoom range
- Significant chromatic aberration at wideangle and telephoto (especially 270mm
- Macro performance rather compromised (very soft at F6.3
- focus shifts on stopping down
- Uneven zoom action
- zoom creep when

This update to Tamron’s epic 15x superzoom is not only smaller and lighter, but it now includes a Piezo Drive motor for faster and silent AF. Mat Gallagher takes a look at the new features and finds out if it really is the ultimate travel lens

Tamron 18-270mm F3.5-6.3 VC PZD NIKON 18-270MM LENS review
The type of user that the Tamron AF 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD is aimed at will be perfectly happy with the performance of it. Picture quality is overall very good and we got some lovely sharp results from it.

Tamron 18-270mm F3.5-6.3 VC PZD NIKON 18-270MM LENS review
Overall it seems that Tamron has been just a bit too ambitious in this lens. This is unfortunate given that its 270mm setting is a key selling point but there will doubtless be times when owners will be grateful for the extended zoom range that, to some extent, does trump other more modest zooms.

Pretty good for the money, no need to change the lens anymore, and not to heavy.
