## Overview

The Tamron 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 VC PZD lens is a versatile all-in-one zoom designed for APS-C DSLR cameras, featuring a groundbreaking 15x zoom range, ultra-fast Piezo Drive autofocus motor, and advanced Vibration Compensation for sharp, blur-free images. Its compact, lightweight design and superior optical elements make it the ultimate travel and everyday lens for professionals and enthusiasts seeking convenience without sacrificing image quality.

## Description

From the Manufacturer 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. Piezo Drive (PZD) Ultrasonic Autofocus Motor Ultrasonic motors are divided into two categories depending on the principle that generates the energy to move the drive: traveling wave motors and standing wave motors. Traveling wave motors include the ring type ultrasonic motor used in the recently launched 70-300mm F/4-5.6 VC USD as well as other lenses, but this lens employs a newer technology, the PZD (Piezo Drive), which functions on the standing wave principle.A standing wave ultrasonic motor utilizes high-frequency voltage to extend and turn the piezoelectric (piezoceramic) element, thus moving the entire element in a standing wave movement. The metal tip is the contact point of the element to the rotor, and moves in an elliptic motion from the swiveling motion of the moving element, and the friction from this motion turns the rotor. Standing wave ultrasonic motors have the distinct advantage of being smaller than their traveling wave counterparts, and therefore allow a more compact SLR lens size.Di II Lenses are designed for exclusive use on digital cameras with smaller-size imagers and inherit all of the benefits of our Di products. These lenses are not designed for conventional cameras and digital cameras with image sensors larger than 24mm x 16mm. 15x Zoom Ratio This lens covers an extremely broad range of focal lengths, from an extra-wide 18mm length to a telephoto 270mm length (the 35mm equivalent of 28mm to 419mm). The resulting 15x zoom ratio is the world's largest, representing a wide cross section of Tamron high-power zoom design technologies. Plus, the vibration compensation works throughout the entire zoom range, giving you the freedom to create a wide variety of images. The lens lets users capture once-in-a-lifetime panoramic landscape images or close-up pictures of children smiling, all without getting too close to the subject or changing lenses. Other details include a macro magnification range of 1:3.5, a minimum focusing distance of 19.3 inches, and a 72mm filter diameter. The lens, which measures 3.1 inches in diameter and 3.9 inches long, carries a six-year warranty. Vibration Compensation (VC) Shake can ruin your photos, particularly when taking telephoto shots or shooting in low light conditions.Simply flip the VC switch on and you'll notice the difference immediately. VC delivers blur free - handheld images for incredible results VC mechanism employs a three-coil system Lens element compensates for vibration using 3-steel balls (making movement quiet & smooth) Exceptional images at slower shutter speeds – reduces the need for a tripod Bring out contrast to motion & stillness Eliminate the need to shoot with a Flash Low Dispersion (LD) Glass for Greater Lens Sharpness Low dispersion (LD) glass elements in a lens help reduce chromatic aberration; the tendency of light of different colors to come to different points of focus at the image plane. Chromatic aberration reduces the sharpness of an image, but glass with an extremely lowdispersion index, has less of a tendency to separate (defract) a ray of light into a rainbow of colors. This characteristic allows the lens designer to effectively compensate for chromatic aberration at the center of the field (on axis), a particular problem at long focal lengths (the telephoto end of the zoom range), and for lateral chromatic aberration (towards the edges of the field) that often occurs at short focal lengths (the wide-angle end of the zoom range.) Internal Focusing (IF) System Internal focusing provides numerous practical benefits to photographers including a non-rotating front filter ring that facilitates the positioning of polarizing and graduated filters, and more predictable handling because the lens length does not change during focusing. Even more important, Tamron’s Internal Focusing (IF) system provides a much closer minimum focusing distance (MFD) throughout its entire focusing range. In addition, IF improves optical performance by minimizing illumination loss at the corners of the image field, and helps to suppress other aberrations that become more troublesome at different focusing positions. Zoom Lock (ZL) Another original Tamron mechanical engineering concept is the Zoom Lock (ZL), a simple convenience feature that prevents undesired extension of the lens barrel when carrying the camera/lens unit on a neck strap. Anomalous Dispersion (AD) for Better Color Correction Anomalous dispersion (AD) glass is a special type of optical glass that is used to achieve more precise control of chromatic aberrations, thereby enhancing overall imaging performance. Glass of this type provides an abnormally large partial dispersion ratio (amount of diffraction) for light of specific wavelength ranges (colors) within the visible spectrum. By combining AD glass having these special characteristics with elements made of normal glass having different dispersion characteristics, it is possible to control the dispersion factors of a specific wavelength. This enhanced level of control results in much lower levels of on-axis (central) chromatic aberration for telephoto lenses (or zooms used at tele-photo settings) and a significant reduction of lateral (peripheral) chromatic aber-ration for wide-angle lenses (or zooms used at wide-angle settings.) Aspherical Lens Elements (ASL) Tamron uses several hybrid Aspherical lens elements in many lenses bearing the Aspherical designation. These innovative optics allow us to achieve the ultimate in image quality, and at the same time produce lenses that offer remarkable zoom ranges in extraordinarily compact packages. By perfecting theses cutting-edge advances for series production, Tamron has advanced the state of optical design, and virtually eliminated spherical aberration and image distortion from the high-power-zoom series.Through the effective application of Hybrid Aspherical Technology, one lens element can take the place of multiple elements without compromising performance. This is what allows us to produce remarkably compact long-range lenses that deliver a uniformly high level of image quality at all focal lengths and apertures.

Review: If You Only Had To Use 1 Lens - This is easily the best all rounder lens for nearly all situations in 1 lens. Bought used from "pupa online shop" as "used-very good" with minor surface dust and less than 5 dust particles that got inside the lens glass. $700+ new is a steep price (cause I'm a cheapo) so anyone looking at this lens should probably buy a used one under $150 and in better than "acceptable" condition. I had been researching for compact long zoom lens for about a month until I came upon 18-200mm lenses from other manufacturers and then this one showed up for a very good "used" price. There were also the 16-300mm lens but those ones are out of my price range both in new and used. The way this lens zooms is extremely unique (and the 16-200+ lenses also probably do the same thing) in that there is a double stack zoom which keeps this lens very low profile and makes this the ultimate travel lens if you were limited to only 1 lens. Pictures do come out slightly darker than compared to OEM Canon lenses but is correctable with camera controls. It also does appear that this is not a true 270mm lens and is more like around 200mm based on captainzip's 2016 review but I can live with that since I got this for a decent price. Also be aware that this lens, the Di II B008, has been discontinued since 2014 so don't expect a warranty or any kind of repair service to be available.
Review: I use it on my Canon 7D MarkII camera and absolutely love it. The reason this is my second lens ... - I love this lens! This is my second 18_270mm lens. I use it on my Canon 7D MarkII camera and absolutely love it. The reason this is my second lens is because unfortunately, I dropped my first one and it shattered the glass internally. I was heartbroken because this lens really is an incredible all purpose walk-around and travel lens. And its nice and light weight. My wonderful wife told me to get online and order another one. I own several Canon lenses and I will say it is not as sharp as a Canon lens, but when you consider just how sharp it really is for this price you cannot beat it. I know it has been upgraded to a new 18-400mm lens which is quite an improvement in reach, however, with the increased reach comes increased challenges to sharpness when hand holding the camera. For this price you just can't beat what you get. It's sharp wide as well as racked all the way out to 270mm. The autofocus is pretty quick considering its not a big name lens. I attached a couple of photos. The first two show 18mm then out to 270mm. The others are various focal lengths. The dove is at 270mm and shows how well the lens did auto focusing despite all the branches around the bird that could have made it difficult. The moon was shot handheld from my back deck on autofocus. This lens has great stabilization. The photo of our cat was taken at 85mm for a portrait look and the drops on the branch show that the lens can get a pretty decent macro effect. By now you can tell I am a huge fan of this lens and highly recommend it for virtually any purpose from sports to portrait, for travel or just walking around. I don't think you'll be disappointed. It's a lot of performance for the money. I do not work for Tamron by the way, I just love this lens!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mostly good - not 100% sure it's a keeper
*by T***E on April 28, 2011*

So I saw Tamron's ad in some magazine which led me to looking at it here and ultimately buying it. The selling point: obviously, the incredibly long 18-270mm range for several hundred dollars less than the other contender (Nikon 18-200). Also, the professional reviews of this were mostly positive or very positive. Most of the issues in the previous model have been improved (the autofocus). So when I got the package, I was pretty excited. The lens performs as expected. The vibration control is very effective and seems to be more so than my kit lens (Nikon 18-105mm). When VC turns on, you get a momentary jump in the viewfinder as it activates - and while on, you hear a very soft and almost silent 'hummmmmm'. When you let go of the autofocus, there is a pause of about 2-3 seconds before VC turns off, and again you see a little jump in the viewfinder. By comparison, the Nikon's VC turns on and off without even the slightest indication. I really don't mind this, but some might not know and think it is a defect in their lens. I have also read that Tamron's VC, although very effective, draws a lot of battery. The real disappointment for me may have nothing to do with this particular lens but more of what my expectations were. When I was comparing lenses, 18-270mm sounded A LOT better than 18-200mm. I mention this because if you are not very knowledgeable, you may not know that visually, the difference between 18mm to 88mm (difference of 70mm) is DRAMATICALLY different than 200mm to 270mm (again, a difference of 70mm). The fact is that if I took a picture at 200mm and then one at 270mm, it was SHOCKINGLY not very different at all. In fact, it looked like it barely moved about 2-3 inches closer to a subject that was 10 yards away. I am not speaking scientifically, I am only describing my perception. Since it is likely to be your perception as well, be warned that the additional 70mm is probably not worth any premium in dollars. If you are comparing lenses, I would pick the best one for the price and not look past 18-200mm or 18-250mm (Sigma) lenses just because none of them get to 270mm like the Tamron. Incidentally, the Piezo drive AF worked very well. I thought it was quite fast and responsive. There was zoom creep in the middle range and the lens is amazingly compact and light for what it does. CONCLUSION: A well-built, responsive and sharp lens but the 270mm reach simply didn't impress me anywhere near what I thought it would and should.
