Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD LD Aspherical IF Macro Zoom Lens with Built in Motor for Nikon DSLR Cameras
Customer Review: Worth the wait
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a novice photographer that just started a few months ago. I own a Nikon D90 with a Nikkor 18-55mm VR and a Nikkor 70-300mm telephoto zoom lens. I did some research for an all-in-one zoom lens and I was comparing the Sigma 18-270mm, 18-250mm, Tamron 18-250mm, Nikkor 18-200mm VRII and the Nikkor 28-300mm VR. After reading all the comments, reviews and price difference from different sites, the Tamron 18-270mm Di II VC PCD LD comes as my top choice. I always do a thorough research before purchasing on things to make sure that I get the right bang for my buck. The reasons why I chose this lens is that it is a smaller version of the original Tamron 18-270mm. It also comes with the new Piezo Drive which results in a smaller and lighter size. So far, I have fired a several test low light indoor shots and I am impressed with the sharpness and quality. I will be posting an update review this weekend after I take it out on an outdoor drive. So far, I am very happy with this lens.
UPDATE: 1/23/11:
I took some outdoor shots using close and regular distance shots and I am impressed with the quality and sharpness. I took close pictures of plants and trees in my backyard and it almost look like you have a macro glass. Speaking of macro, Amazon has this described partly as a Macro Zoom lens on the name. Not true at all. When compared to other sites like Tamron's and B&H, which btw are reputable sites, it does not say nor describe it as a Macro Zoom lens. As I mentioned previously, I am a novice photographer so I could be wrong. If so, please do let me know and what settings to use to make it a macro lens by leaving comments as I would appreciate it (part of learning). Other than that, I still love this lens. This would probably will stay in my camera for a long time. I recommend this glass for anyone looking for an all-in-one glass.

It's Tamron VC that allows handheld shooting at as many as four shutter speeds slower than otherwise possible with a dramatically stable viewfinder experience. Compactness and light weight are preserved, thanks in part to the VC mechanism's newly-developed moving coil mechanism. Defining compositional freedom the 18-270mm Di-II VC's incredible 15x zoom range provides a 35mm picture angle equivalency of 28mm to 419mm, with image fidelity assured by advanced optical design featuring LD glass and aspherical optics, working in concert to render crisp, colorful and faithful images.Di-II lenses are performance-engineered expressly for digital SLR cameras with image sensors commonly referred to as APS-C, measuring approximately 24mm x 16mm.
