    Overview

    The Tamron 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD is a compact, lightweight superzoom with a 15x range and image stabilization. Optically, it is sharp at wideangle but soft at telephoto, especially wide open, with strong distortion and chromatic aberration at both ends. Build is functional plastic with a metal mount. Autofocus is quiet but not fast on Canon. It suits users wanting a versatile all-in-one travel lens, but not for action or critical image quality.
