Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD LD Aspherical IF Macro Zoom Lens with Built in Motor for Canon DSLR Cameras

Product Information

And regardless of their true maximum focal lengths at any distance, all of these super zoom lenses have an awesome focal length range.

This is coupled with Tamron's own optical image stabilization system to reduce the effects of camera shake. The Sony model comes without the VC image stabiliser because Sony cameras have it already built into the camera body. it is not made for low light or professional quality but it is so much better than a compact camera.Whether you like that or not is of course a matter of taste, and if necessary you can easily adjust it in post-processing.

It’s very quiet in operation, similar to a ring-type ultrasonic system, yet able to adjust focusing speed for speedy stills performance and smooth transitions in movie capture. Besides, if the photographer wants to do a simple product shoot with budget studio lights, this lens is capable of it too. If you decide the irresistible focal length range is what you want, your next decision is - which is the best super zoom lens, overall?DC follows suit, but the Tamron 18-250 edges it out for wide-open center sharpness across most of their shared focal length range. Our sample of this lens operated quite smoothly, with virtually no play between any of the elements, and the zoom adjustment was nice and smooth. We've been shooting Google's two newest smartphones on two continents: from the parks of Madrid to the mountains of Washington state and the streets of Seattle.

The 18-270mm features Tamron's own 'Vibration Compensation' system, designed to allow hand-holding at slower shutter speeds than usual without seeing the blurring effects of camera shake. I have quite a fair amount of missed shots for night so I suggest it is better to get a prime lens for night. The combination helps to rein in the physical size, while optimizing image quality in terms of sharpness, contrast and colour fringing. I rate this lens as a 10 not because it is an optical champ, but because it excells at what it was designed for.At 18mm, a small shape can be seen in what otherwise appears to be a landscape picture of a green field and partly-cloudy sky. having had a Tamron in the past I naturally had a preference for one, although one or two others such as Sigma where also rans.
