Tamron 16-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD Macro Review

 

Of the numerous incarnations of Tamron's famous superzoom concept that we've seen over the last couple of decades, the latest 16-300mm F3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD Macro looks like one of the bigger steps forward. It offers a lot more than the incremental...

Tamron 16-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD Macro

 

The Tamron 16-300MM F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD lens is a versatile and affordable compact all-in-one lens that will greatly lighten your camera bag while traveling. Featuring the biggest zoom range of their AIO lenses, and one of the lowest price tags, it...

Compact lens with an incredible zoom range ; Rubber rings make focus and zoom easy to control ; Touch AF and VC switches don't changed by accident ; Easy to read numbers on the lens ; Very good image quality

Not as sharp as some available all-in-one lenses ; VC still left some of our handheld image soft/blurry

Tamron 16-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD Macro Lens

 

Tamron's new high-power lens for APS-C DSLR cameras includes sophisticated optics, ultrasonic focus and VC stabilisation plus close-up shooting to 39 cm.

The performance of the review lens was much better than we expected, given its 18.8x zoom range. Although not a match for prime lenses or significantly shorter zooms with respect to resolution, it is still an outstanding performer for a zoom with such...

Tamron 16-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD Macro review

 

Broadly speaking, there are two extremes of photographer in this world - the happy snapper and the pixel-peeper. The pixel-peeper is serious about technical quality and is prepared to sacrifice convenience to achieve what he believes is perfection. The...

Tamron 16-300 mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD MACRO

 

I've never been exactly a fan of megazoom lenses, especially that the first instruments of that type, available on the market, were very weak. However the situation started to improve after some time and many companies enlarged their offer by several...

very universal focal lengths range ; good image quality in the frame centre ; proper correction of the longitudinal chromatic aberration ; slight chromatic aberration in a range from 16 to 100 mm ; sensible correction of coma in 50–300 mm range ;...

weak image quality at the maximum relative aperture and on the edge of the frame for all focal lengths ; huge level of lateral chromatic aberration in the focal range from 200 to 300 mm ; high distortion at wide angles of view

Tamron 16-300 mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD MACRO

 

For travel all-in-one it is not bad choise!

Universal, Fast drive, manual focus correction. Low dust vacuum :) Low sesor-dust displaying (even on F16), macro ability

Strong, strange-shape geometrical abberation at wide angle.Strong vignetting at wide angle.No stabilization in Sony version...Large and unpredictable glare when shooting against the sun or strong light... Shift focus when zoomnig. I.e. you must focus,...

Tamron 16-300 mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD MACRO

 

You have to accept compromises in the picture quality and you can't really use the lens in lower light conditions. However I'm still quite pleased with the lens overall. The flexibility of the wide zoom range is often more important for me than having...

Metal mount with rubber gasket.Very good image stabilization.Manual focus override possible due to the ultrasonic focus drive

Strong chromatic aberrations at the long end.A bit soft in the corners.Slow aperture.Zoom ring is not very smooth (even though this got better the longer I used the lens)
