Tamron 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD Aspherical IF Macro lens review / test by Photozone
Photozone has reviewed the ultrazoom lens Tamron 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD Aspherical IF Macro. The lens got an impressive 15x zoom and optical image stabilization, but it remains to be seen if it is able to produce good pictures. Photozone tested the Tamron lens on a Canon EOS (APS-C) camera (Canon EOS 50D to precise).
Photozone ends up giving the Tamron lens a rather avergae rating as the lens is not able to produce the best pictures on this planet, but what can you expect when you have such a long zoom range. The build quality is ok, you get some chromatic aberrations and there is not that much vignetting, but on a high resolution camera such as the Canon EOS 50D DSLR (15 megapixels) you get some problems with the image quality.
Overall the Tamron 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD Aspherical IF Macro lens seems like a very convenient lens, but it does not produce pictures of highest quality.
