A technical marvel : Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD Aspherical IF Macro Zoom Lens with Built in Motor for Nikon DSLR Cameras
I'd like to start by saying that my lens does not suffer from the "zoom creep" or slow focusing when zoomed in that just about everyone mentions when critiquing this lens. Maybe I'm just lucky, but the zoom feels strong and just stiff enough to keep the lens from folding out/in when tilted up/down (perhaps a little too stiff, but this is much more welcome than creep). As for focus speed, this lens focuses no slower than I would expect (in fact it is much faster). It's really quite satisfactory, even in moderately low light. It helps (for any camera/lens combo) to make sure you are pointing at an area of contrast the AF sensor will be able to detect. Remember to focus (on a high-contrast area of your subject, in the very center of the frame), then re-frame the shot to your pleasure. The focus is also extremely quiet, though not quite as much as Nikon's AF-S.
Pros:
- Good image quality; quite sharp given its incredible zoom range (at least as good as Nikon 55-200mm VR, which I am planning on reselling)
- *Generally beats competition in areas of sharpness, CA, vignetting, across majority of zoom range (yes, even the venerable Nikon 18-200)
- Quiet, fast (to lock, generally) focusing; WILL focus on D40/60/5000 etc. For the record, I use a D300.
- Vibration Compensation (VC) works very well! (surprisingly much better than my Nikon 55-200's VR)
- Excellent value for the price
- No zoom creep on mine! (yet...)
Cons:
- Quite slow (f/6.3) from 200mm on (f/5.6 only takes you to 120mm)
- Too little distance between min and max focus on focus ring, making precise manual focusing a challenge (though I've yet to require MF for a shot)
- Rear lens cap not compatible with Nikon lenses (which I found not only weird but annoying)
- No lens pouch/case included, but who uses those anyway?
- Not sexy
- Other cons are negligible/ shared with all lenses in this category
Which superzoom/vacation lens to buy?
Buy the Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED-IF AF-S VR DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens if Nikon quality/ brand loyalty is important to you, or if you need the extra light at the end of the zoom range. This lens may also have the best focusing and VR of its competition.
Buy the Sigma 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM IF Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras if you're on a limited budget, and can't spring an extra $20-70 for the Tamron. Also, the Sigma handles distortion slightly better at 18mm. Other than that, the Tamron just trumps it in just about every respect, including zoom range, sharpness, and CA.
Buy this lens, the Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD Aspherical IF Macro Zoom Lens with Built in Motor for Nikon DSLR Cameras if you want longer telephoto, better sharpness, lower CA and vignetting than the competition, without making any major sacrifices or breaking the bank.
Why I purchased this lens: I decided on this lens when shopping for a "vacation zoom" to take with me to Spain and be able to leave some lenses at home/ in the hotel. I decided on the Tamron NOT for its unmatched zoom range (frankly I could care less, I'm more of an ultrawide person myself). I chose this model for its image quality first, features/comparison second. I was very skeptical about spending so much on a Tamron with no experience with this brand, but so far this lens has thoroughly met my expectations. It's not magic, but I am quite pleased with my decision.
Thus, this lens comes highly recommended.
*I got much of my image quality information from slrgear dot com's technical lens reviews.
