## 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: Best all-in-one bang! - I'll start by refuting most of the negative reviews. For an all-in-one zoom travel lens, this is the ticket that lets you take great photos without lugging around two or three "better" lenses. While not "perfect" compared to a pro lens, this lens does a LOT of things better than any kit lens including many of the after-market add-on lenses in the $600 - $1000 range. Not tack-sharp? Uh...it's pretty sharp, especially at faster shutter speeds with the vibration control on. At 20 yards, fully zoomed in I could see a finches individual feathers while it ate at the feeder. No problem. I could see the itty-bitty seeds and their hull too! Additionally, the build quality is better than any of the el-cheapo plastic lenses and the barrel is snug when extended -- no creep on the one I have. The fit is sure and true on my Nikon D7000, and the auto focus works about as quick as any of the lenses it is replacing (the two kit lenses it came with). I don't mess with manual focusing any longer, so nothing to say about that. People comparing it to fast, expensive glass are comparing lenses in a totally different class which makes no sense IMHO. Want an ultra-sharp low-light super zoom for action wedding photography? Then get something else, but be prepared to spend 4x what this costs. Want something to take a quick shot of the boat while the light is just right and you're standing on the beach? Then this will get a decent shot with bragging rights to go with it. I took this lens to Maui, and upon returning I was commended on what great pictures this lens took. Highly recommended as a good anytime lens with reach, but please --don't compare it to any pro all-in-one zooms. There aren't any in this price range.
Review: Mostly good - not 100% sure it's a keeper - 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.
