Tamron 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD Canon

A fantastic lens for its price, definitely recommended for travelling, easy to use.

I wanted a lens that allowed me to take pictures anywhere during the day. So I wanted a wide zoom range, and a fast focus, so that I don't have to constantly change lenses. This Tamron lens meets all expectations. I am very satisfied with my purchase. This lens gives me a very wide range, from almost panorama to telephoto. And during the day, the aperture is more than large enough. I have now taken about 2000 pictures with this lens. For photos in the evening I have another lens from Tamron 17-50 2.8 that fits perfectly with the possibilities I then need. I also find the focusing speed of this lens astonishing. And the quiet engine is also enjoyable. No annoying buzzing when focusing. That's different from my other lens. They warned me… you buy a body, and then you start buying lenses… but I haven't regretted this one for a second.

My first experiences with the Tamron 18-270 PZD surprised me especially by the super large range from wide angle to each angle, really special! That, in combination with the compactness and limited weight, is really a super lens for reportage, travel, etc.! The sharpness of the lens is good as far as I have been able to judge. You do sacrifice your aperture range with such a lens, of course, but that does not detract from an excellent price-quality ratio.
