The World’s Lightest, Smallest 15x Zoom*, with Tamron’s First PZD (Piezo Drive) The acclaimed Tamron 18-270mm VC ultra zoom for APS-C format DSLRs has reached an astonishing new level of compactness, performance, and speed with the addition of PZD (Piezo Drive), an innovative ultrasonic autofocus motor based on an advanced piezoelectric design. The result is a lens that’s considerably lighter, and noticeably shorter and slimmer (filter diameter: 62mm) than any previous lens in its class, and provides faster, quieter auto-focusing. Signature features that have made this amazingly versatile lens the world standard in its class have been retained. They include a 28-419mm equivalent (15X) zoom range, an improved, lightweight, compact Vibration Compensation (VC) system, macro focusing to 0.49m (19.3 inches) throughout, and, of course, superlative imaging performance. *For SLR camera high-zoom-ratio lenses with 15x magnification capability. Current as of December 2010. (Source: Tamron).

I love this lens…small, great focal range, very sharp!,
I had the first version of this lens which I like very much — and much to surprise, this much smaller, much lighter, but higher quality lens from Tamron is even better!….The photos are sharp across the entire focal range (better than the Nikon 18-200) with a much better focal range.
It is significantly smaller than the original, and the new motor is fast. Most surprising, it even focuses faster in lower light situations. The new internal motor clearly works well.
This can pretty much stay on your camera all the time. It’s great for walk-around; it’s light an non-intrusive; and the shots are sharp and clear. I love this lens.
