I bought this lens back in 2015, i started my photography hobby and since this lens had a rage from 18 to 270 mm was very good for my birds photography and also my landscape. This investment is the best I have done, lens eventualy broke this year 2024 but was very good investmen.

My all round lens. I take it everywhere and get the best shots I am capable of. I am older and weight is a factor in my decisions.

The lens works well with my Canon EOS7D II ,the only quibble I have is that the zoom lock is finicky.The macro works well .I have not had a lot of walk around time with this lens yet but it is comfortable on my camera I recommend it

I have only taken a few pictures to see if the zoom range was adequate fir my needs. So far I believe it is. I bought this to have a short lense with fairly long zoom range. The price was moderate.

Bought this 1 week before Italy trip, not much time to play with it. Used auto focus on the trip and when we got home at 1:1 they are slightly out of focus. When Playing with the lens when we were home I went to manual focus and the focus was good but the focus ring was very loose so I just sent it back to Tamron for repair. When I get the lens back I will manually micro adjust the lens to my camera. I like the size and weight of the lens for all in 1 travel lens

I like that's it's two lenses in one. Still adjusting to its newness, ... it's a little stiffer to turn compared to the one I've had for awhile. Been shooting gymnasts... very tricky with the movement. But am able to get the shot when they're close to me or tumbling on the other side of the floor. Looking forward to using it more!

Focuses faster and is much quieter than the Sony 18 - 250 zoom it replaced. Photo quality appears to be on par with the the original lens.

The 18-270 range of this lens makes it handy for close up and zooming. It is much better than a 'kit lens.' My pictures have improved using it!

I used it for anykind of photo and anywhere that mean more convenience and good price.

I purchased This lens to take on vacation to the Grand Canyon. I was able to take some spectacular landscape photos with this lens, I highly recommend it.

This lens is really good for people who want to shoot thru-out the day without changing another lens. But there're few disadvantages of this lens such as the lens got distorted @ 18mm - 24mm and It's a little noisy when it try to focus on an object. One little disappointment is that this lens only work on APS-C cameras, not on full-frames cameras. So please beware of that!. Overall, this lens is great! highly recommended!!

Extremely versatile. A little slow focusing; tends to "hunt" in lower light.

I have had for many years a Tamron 18-270 for my Canon 7D. I enjoy the versatility and have appreciated the clarity of its photos, especially for wildlife. When I bought a Sony mirror less 7Rii, I wanted the same lens. Tamron makes the lens for Sony but not E- mount, so I bought the lens and an adapter. I liked that it was smaller and lighter than mine. Perhaps because it needs an adapter, the focusing was so slow, I couldn't reliably use it for wildlife. Sadly, I returned both parts. I'm going to try the much more expensive Sony 24-240 lens. If Tamron made the 18-270 with an E-mount I'd give it a try.

Was SO tired of changing lens for close ups to distanced scenes!! Although you lose a very small amount of clarity (which you don't see unless you compare extreme closeups), I highly recommend this lens. I have MISSED so many great shots while switching lens. Makes life so much easier and a great stress reliever. Who wants added stress messing with lens on a vacation?

great all-'round workhorse of a lens, beyond the kit item; especially for a hobbyist or beginner ... get a herd of specialty filters and go to town .. !! great platform to learn on ...

I love this lens. My hobby is going out & taking pictures of various trains. I love the fact that I don't have to change lenses to get the far away shots then try to the close up shots. I highly recommend this lens.

I walk in the country every day and use my camera for landscapes, nature, wildlife and whatever I find interesting. This lens has exceeded my expectations. while not always professional quality the picture quality is very good through the entire range. It provides the ability to shot pretty much anything I run into; sunrises, turkeys, deer and other birds including great inflight shots.

The 18mm - 270mm range and great optics makes this a great lens to have for all around photos. It's lightweight compared to other lenses I have had. I'm able to photograph flowers to landscapes with this lens.

I bought the my original Tamron 18mm - 270mm lens a few years ago and have taken over 8,000 photos with it so far. My only complaint with the first lens was it was heavy and a little long to carry on the camera all the time. I bought the new lens because it's lighter and more compact than the firs, plus I now have a Canon 7D camera which is also heavy. My wife and I travel the world and I have used the original Tamron 18mm - 270mm lens almost exclusively - it really has a great range. I plan to use the new lens the same as the old one, but now I've got 2 cameras with the same lens so my wife can use one while I use the other. Her other camera was a small point and shoot, so this should be a marked improvement for her. In total, I have 4 Tamron lenses, and I have had excellent luck with all of them. My latest one was just used at a car show this weekend, and the results were great as usual.

Light and versatile.Easy to carry with you all day long without breaking your neck.No creep problem with the lens,with my Canon 18-200mm IS I had to turn on and off the lock switch every time I want to take pictures,very inconvenience and heavy too.

lens has been returned twice already for repair. once needed new focusing gear. problem is you dont realize there is a problem till you review your pictures and see they are not sharply in focus. would not recommend this lens for that reason.

I am an average Joe with a habit of taking lots of pictures when I go someplace. Not a professional by any stretch. I use a Nikon D3200 and I wanted a lens that would do it all and this one is that lens!! I recently went on a cruise and bought this lens specifically to take. My pictures came out WAAAYY better than the kit lenses. I definitely have no regrets spending the money for a good lens.

I ordered this lens for my husband for our recent vacation because he didn't want to keep changing lenses. He used it at the Grand Canyon on a Canon 60D and got some good shots. I've used it to do some architectural shooting and it's pretty good at the 18mm end. It's a good lens to have on hand when you only want to take one lens.
