By Alexandra Savvides (cnet.com.au)

tamron af18-270mm f/3.5-f/6.3 di ii vc review: If you're in the market for a wide-angle to telephoto lens, the Tamron 18-270mm is a great lens to consider amongst the big brand offerings.

By Roger Webb (amazon.com)

Tamron AF 18-270mm

I recently bought this lens to use on my Rebel XSi after weeks of searching and reviewing various other lenses. The lenses I was originally considering were both Canon, 24-105 f4 IS and 24-70 f2.8. Both over $1000 and undeniably excellent lenses. However,...
