Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC Lens Review

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,...

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

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...

First things first; the AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD Aspherical (IF) MACRO undoubtedly represents an impressive feat of optical engineering, and Tamron has to be applauded for producing a superzoom that has significantly longer telephoto reach...

Tamron AF 18-270MM, F3.4-6.3 Zoom Lens – Review

Tamron's 18-270mm Di II VC PZD all-in-one, super zoom lens is specifically designed to fit APS-C digital SLRs (non full-frame digital cameras). Due to its compact size and wide-ranging 18-270mm focal length (the 35mm equivalent of 28-419mm), Tamron...

Large focal range ; Light and compact ; Good all-purpose lens

Manual focus ring fiddly ; Images only sharp between f5.6 to f22 ; Lens barrel creeps when held vertically

This is the lightest zoom lens of its range around, only there is a compromise – it requires a small aperture when zoomed out, there’s vertical barrel movement and at some settings non-sharp results. But if you can live with that, the lens is great for...

Tamron AF 18-200 mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di-II LD Aspherical (IF)

The advantage of reflex cameras over compact cameras consists of a possibility of attaching such lenses as you please or you can afford at the moment. That's why some people wonder what the point of the construction of megazooms really is – after all...

compact dimensions for such a wide focal lengths range ; good image quality in the frame centre for the 18-100 mm range ; negligible chromatic aberration in the middle of the range ; low vignetting in the 35-200 mm range ; slight astigmatism in the...

average quality of materials used in the housing ; lens very slow at 200 mm ; weak image quality at 200 mm and near maximum relative aperture for other focal lengths ; very high chromatic aberration at both ends of the range ; distinct distortion at 18...

Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di II IF

Available in Canon, Nikon, Pentax and Sony mounts, this optic features 15 elements in 13 groups and includes Extra Refractive Index (XR) glass...

Excellent central CA control, good telephoto resolution

Corner CA, average 18mm resolution

Like its longer (but cheaper) stablemate, the Tamron 18-200mm has excellent control over chromatic aberrations in the centre of the frame, but loses it as we look closer to the corners, though less dramatically so than the 18-250mm. In terms of...
