Review on Tamron 18 270Mm 3 5 6 3 BOO8E Filter by Jeremy Hudson

I love this lens This is my second 18_270mm lens. I use it on my Canon 7D MarkII camera and I really like it. The reason this is my second lens is because I unfortunately dropped my first one and it shattered the glass inside. I was heartbroken because this lens really is an incredible all-round lens for hiking and travelling. And its beautiful and light weight. My wonderful wife advised me to go online and order another one. I have several Canon lenses and I will say that they are not as sharp as Canon lenses but considering how sharp they really are at this price point you can't beat them. I know it's been upgraded to a new 18-400mm lens which improves range significantly, but with longer range there are additional issues with sharpness when holding the camera in your hands. For this price you just can't beat what you get. It has a sharp width and is extended up to 270 mm. The autofocus is pretty fast considering the lens isn't very well known. Here are a few photos. The first two show 18mm, then 270mm. The rest have other focal lengths. The pigeon is at 270mm and shows how well the lens did the autofocus despite all the branches around the bird that could make it difficult. The moon was handheld from my autofocus rear deck. This lens has excellent stabilization. Our cat's photo was taken at 85mm for a portrait look, and the drops on the branch show the lens is capable of a pretty decent macro effect. You can tell by now that I'm a huge fan of this lens and would heartily recommend it for almost any purpose from sports to portraits, travel or just touring. I don't think you will be disappointed. This is great value for money. BTW, I don't work for Tamron, I just love this lens!
