Product Descriptions from Manufacturer
With the advent of the latest 15x zoom lens from Tamron, the pioneer of high power zoom lenses, the high power zoom lens has steadily evolved from a 7.1x zoom to the world's largest zoom ratio of 15x by combining advanced high power zoom design technologies accumulated by Tamron since 1992. The lens covers an angle of view equivalent to that of a 28mm wide-angle to a 419mm ultra telephoto with just one lens, letting the user capture once-in-the-lifetime images of panoramic landscape images or close-up pictures of children smiling, without having to get too close to the subject and without having to change lenses.

Tamron 18-270mm Lens Features
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  | Add sharpness to your image with Low Dispersion (LD) glass lenses
|
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 |
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.  | | Achieve the ultimate in image quality with Aspherical Lens Elements (ASL) |

 | | Tamron's AF 18-270 mm Superzoom is a functional All in One Lens | September - 05 - 2010 | | | 
by D A Soul (Awestruck Still) from Rocky Mountains USA
Tamron's AF 18-270 mm Superzoom is a functional All in One Lens. It has just been through the ringer with me and a trip down the Pacific Coast of Oregon. Its VC designation means Vibration Control and it does that very well. The VC Motor in the Lens is a bit noisey, but not enough to distract wildife, IMHO. There was very little I could find to complain about and alot of assets worth mentioning!
First things first, the Switch for the Vibration Control is in need of redesign. It is located in such a place that my hands were always knocking the switch from the "on" position to the "off" position. I fixed it with a small piece of black electrical tape, which I assume will be needed for the rest of its life with me. I'm not so fussy about such things, but I wont be showing it off at the camera club on weekend shoots anyways.
Secondly the Sunshield is barely functional in its "as bought" position, and wouldnt stay affixed in either position when it was needed. This looseness caused the shield to fall from the camera several times, to the trail ahead of me, where it got stepped on. It will never be the same, and will likely require some of the black tape "magic" also.
Tamron would be wise to catch and correct these minor problems, and redesign these glitches before they give the lens a bad name.
I shot the Pacific Coast in all sorts of light and color variations, Fog and sunshine, sunrise, sunset, night lighting, using the vibration control almost continually, except when it was desireable to use the Manual Focus. I had Gray Whales and various Shorebirds before me at one location, and shot several hundred images with my Nikon D-300 in rapid succession. There were no problems at all in image quality once I was back in the hotel room evaluating the shots. There were a high percentage of images useable under my criteria for the circumstances(rested on a wall or railing while cushioned below, hand held above).
The Whales were a good 400 yds out, which is a challenge for even my Nikon 80-400 zoom also VR(Vibration reduction). The Tamron captured consistantly sharp images of the Whales in their brief exposure (from blowing out air and sucking another volume before sounding again). They did this at least a dozen times and allowed me a wonderfull collection of usable images from which to choose for the album being produced. Had there only been one or two of these surfaceing views, this lens would likely have allowed me some usable images! That is where the Rubber meets the Road! Allowing that this series was in bright sunlight helped the lens "perfomance wise", of course, shortening the time needed for adequate exposures. The next test was more realistic for the basic "zoom lens fuctions".
Fast action, walking along and through the shoreline forest then diving into the darkness of the rainforest itself, then through the darkened forest, and a widely varied "subject distance from lens" were a more meaningful test for the Len's other uses. I was photographing people and animals in widely varied situations for a three hour hike with a tour group. The AF on this Tamron Superzoom rarely failed to capture the object I was seeking to have in sharp focus. The only problem there were the "too numerous blossoms" in a macro setting where the lens fought with itself to comply with the camera's choices in focus settings. Changes in the focus settings on the D-300 made the needed difference, the lens did exactly what it was instructed to do by the camera. No excuses for "operator error" allowed in this testing folks, these are my dollars being spent, and I'll squeeze every penney I can out of them!
Overall, the best value for the dollar is the real test for me. The Photo and Text style Tour Guide Book Series I produce, are not Fine Art, and dont require superior glass! If they did I'd be choosing a different type of lens and likely two or more to cover the range that this one lens does. I need consistant and trouble free perfomance, at a fair price and reasonable level of photographic accuracy. Currently the Tamron 18-270 Superzoom is the best choice for my needs, and Nikon doesn't even build one yet of comparable range(15x). If they did, I wouldn't be able to afford it anyways, and wouldn't feel good about taking it out into that mean old world where "fine things" get dropped, smashed, and scratched, or stolen altogether on a regular basis.

| | | | | | Perfect Walk Around Lens | August - 08 - 2010 | | |
by R. Holen from Minnesota
I've had this lens for about eight months and found it to be on my camera most of the time. You can get a great hand held shot of the moon and an excellent macro shot of a spider all from one lens. As a general purpose all around lens, this one is hard to beat. It is not the best choice for indoor sports as it's a little slow at the long end - F6.3, But outdoors under good light the extra reach is amazing. At the low end there is some barrel distortion, but nothing that isn't correctable with software (DxO, photoshop, Capture NX), pin cushion shows up towards the long end, but also very correctable. Unless you are shooting architecture, you probably will not notice, like I said a very good general purpose lens. The lens has a zoom lock at 18mm and I use it all the time. A few months after getting the lens, lens creep started to show up, but no worse than any of my Nikon zooms. The lens has very good color rendition and contrast, bokeh is very nice. One big difference I have noticed between this and my Nikon 18-200 is VC (Vibration Compensation), It really works on the Tamron. The image appears to freeze in the viewfinder, it was actually a little disconcerting at first. It seems to work better on the Tamron versus the Nikon. Auto Focus will hunt in low light, but that seems to be the same across all manufacturers with their super zooms. All in all, I have not regretted purchasing this lens and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good general purpose super zoom.

by L. P. Kittiel (buffalo gal) from Colorado Springs, CO
I bought this lens after having had a chance to try it out for my granddaughter's graduation. I had borrowed the Tamron 18-270 VC lens to photograph the event after some disappointing results at an earlier graduation with my trusty Nikon 18-135mm. While conditions at the graduation weren't great (low light so I had to shoot at a very high ISO and we were pretty far away so I was shooting zoomed out to the max), I got a lot more keeper photos than from the 18-135. The vibration control feature made the big difference. I was so impressed with this lens that I immediately bought one for the 3rd graduation in the family!! I absolutely love the lens! The zoom to 270mm (over 300mm in film terms) and the awesome vibration control make this the perfect lens if you only want to take one lens out shooting. It has a clever locking mechanism to keep the lens from creeping to its fully extended length when you're just walking around. Tamron gets high marks for thinking this up! This lens is not fast, but for the price you can't - and shouldn't - expect faster. The VC more than makes up for the slowness. On the other hand, for the price, the lens glass is excellent ... producing sharp images. This is a great lens. I'm glad I bought it!!
