Tamron AF18-250mm review

Swapping lenses is a thing of the past – say hello to the Tamron 18-250mm for DSLRs, with a stonking 14x zoom

Not the highest quality lens you’ll ever buy but the Tamron is by far the most convenient and the best in its class

Tamron 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 DI-ll (IF) LD Macro lens review

Does this Tamron superzoom sacrifice quality in order to keep the overall cost down, or is it a bargain? The Tamron 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 DI-ll (IF) LD Macro lens review from WDC reveals all.

Low price

MTF at long focal distances

The 18-250mm’s compact size is likely to give it particular appeal for those who want an easy-to-carry all-purpose lens. However, in the middle of 2008 Tamron brought out an 18-270mm lens with in-built vibration compensation, which is an all-round...

Tamron AF 18-250 mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II LD Aspherical (IF)

very weak picture quality at longer focal lengths both in the center and on the frame edge ; dreadful macro mode performance ; noticeable vignetting at the shortest focal length ; the lack of stabilization and poor aperture limits the use of the lens...

Tamron AF 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II LD Aspherical [IF] macro (Nikon) - Review / Lab Test Report

Early user comments already suggested that new Tamron AF 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II LD Aspherical [IF] macro does not only offer a longer range but also a higher quality over the old Tamron AF 18-200mm XR and the lab results confirm these impressions....

Tamron AF 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 DiII LD Asp (IF)...

The popularity of Superzooms continues and Tamron have thrown this enormous 13.8x optic into the mix. Wit...

Great focal range, Light weight, Reasonable optical performance

Distortion throughout the focal range, More expensive than some

As an extra long do-it-all lens this optic has a lot going for it, including decent close focus ability. The advantages of a single lens doing all have the plus points of keeping dust on sensors down as well as the weight saving over multi-lens kits...

The longest-ranging zoom lens currently available for a DSLR gets the WDC treatment...

Weight, centre sharpness, macro

Edge sharpness, Chromatic aberration

While the lens's performance may not match that of those with a shorter zoom range, the fact remains that to a large number of people this is going to be a tempting lens. When you judge it in terms of value for money, performance is actually very good....

Lens Test: Tamron 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II Macro

While you were out, the digital-only superzoom got more super. Tamron, originator of the superzoom lens more than a decade ago, ups the ante with its new 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 optic -- boasting the industry's broadest zoom range, at nearly 14X (13.9X). A...
