Tamron’s introduction of the 18-300mm f/3.5 – 6.3 lens shook the world of zoom lenses. It was the first 16.6x all-in-one zoom lens for APS-C mirrorless cameras. This powerful lens works with Sony E-mount and Fujifilm X-mount cameras. The versatility of a 16.6x zoom — and the focal length of 18-300mm — makes it perfect for on-the-go photographers.
But rest assured, an extensive zoom range doesn’t mean this lens skimps on quality. The Tamron 18-300mm lens features special elements for the highest possible quality. This includes edge-to-edge resolution, quick autofocus, and Tamron’s proprietary vibration compensation (VC) for stabilization.

Powerful and Astonishingly Versatile Zoom Lens
With a 16.6x all-in-one zoom for APS-C mirrorless cameras, the Tamron 18-300mm f/3.5 – 6.3 lens is sure to become a kit staple for Fujifilm and Sony photographers. This flexibility of going wide at 18mm to zoomed-in at 300mm is not just hard to beat. It’s a lifesaver, particularly for travel creators, journalists, and documentary filmmakers who don’t have time to swap between dozens of lenses to capture every shot-list image.
Image Quality is Top-of-the-Line, too
A lens is only as good as the images it creates. Speedy autofocus, vibration reduction, a minimum object distance of 5.9 inches (at 18mm), and special lens arrangements for edge-to-edge sharpness promise stellar image quality across the focal range. Also, there’s the shallow depth of field, 3.5 – 6.3, for low-light capability and soft bokeh. One thing’s for certain: the Tamron 18-300mm lens has it all, and then some.
A Travel-Friendly Zoom Lens
Few lenses are as travel-friendly as this one— and it’s not simply because of the versatile focal range. This lens is compact and is built with a moisture-resistant construction and fluorine coating. This means you can rest assured this lens isn’t just high quality. It’s tough and ready to hit the road.
