Comment on Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD LD Aspherical IF Macro Zoom Lens for Canon DSLR Cameras by RonAnnArbor.
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.
