Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD review

 

As every photographer knows, prime lenses provide the best optical quality. A zoom lens has benefits, but the greater the zoom range the more compromises that have to be made on image quality. The reason for choosing a superzoom is practicality - and...

Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD review

 

A newer, compact revision of their 18-270mm super-zoom lens that sports an improved vibration compensation system and a piezo ultrasonic motor.

Respectable optical performance; Compact; Lightweight; Vibration Compensation; Quick, silent focusing

Higher price than much of the competition at the moment

Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD - Review / Test Report

 

The AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD combines the largest zoom range currently available with Tamron's reliable optical stabilization, all packed into a very compact lens with good but not stellar build quality. Sharpness is generally very good in...

REVIEW: Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD

 

Gary Wolstenholme takes a close look at Tamron's latest super-zoom which sports a silent piezo ultrasonic focusing motor and an improved Vibration Compensation system.

Respectable optical performance; Compact; Lightweight; Vibration Compensation; Quick, silent focusing

CA levels a little high when stopped down below f/16; Higher price than much of the competition at the moment

Super-zoom lenses have garnered a poor reputation for optical quality in the past, but as technology advances, new lenses have been released which change the public's perception of what to expect. This lens is one of those optics. Its lightweight,...

Tamron 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD

 

The thought of an all-in-one zoom that covers wide-angle to telephoto in a nice compact design is appealing, so the latest Tamron travel zoom with vibration control and improved autofocus – the Tamron 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD – should spark a...

The test results in the lab are a little disappointing from this lens, but it’s still a good option for travelling light. The lens actually handles really well, and the VC stabilisation is very impressive. If you avoid the extreme end of the focal...

The Tamron 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD shares the same 15x magnification and variable aperture range as Tamron's 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC lens which was first seen in 2008. This new and improved version is available in Canon, Nikon and Sony...

Tamron 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD

 

Tamron's 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD was announced in December 2010, as a successor to the well-regarded AF 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD Aspherical (IF) MACRO that we reviewed in December 2008. Compared to the previous version, its main...

Very useful 15x zoom range ; Good image quality at wideangle ; Quiet autofocus ; Reasonably effective image stabilization ; Compact and lightweight

Rather soft at telephoto, especially wide open ; Strong distortion across most of the range ; Chromatic aberration at each end of the zoom (most pronounced at telephoto) ; Slower autofocus than its peers

The Tamron 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD is a perfectly competent superzoom that squeezes a huge focal length range into a compact package. Autofocus is slower than its competitors, however, and image quality is weak at the the telephoto end.
