Is the Tamron 18-400mm good?
The Tamron 18-400mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC HLD is the best superzoom lens we’ve tested to date. It’s not without some shortcomings, but it covers an absurd zoom range for a reasonable price, without being too bulky for everyday use.
What is a 18-400mm lens used for?
Primarily needing angles of view longer than 400mm (640mm full frame AOV) are some wildlife and sports photographers. Still, this lens can be used for those same purposes along with a huge additional list. This superzoom lens covers a vast superset of the focal lengths needed by a general purpose zoom lens.
Is the Tamron 18 400mm good?
How much zoom do I need for sports photography?
Depending on the sport, a 70-200mm lens may be sufficient. But for sports that position photographers far from the action (such as football, soccer and baseball) you’re likely to prefer the results you get from a much longer lens—like a 300mm, 400mm or even 600mm.
What makes the Tamron 18-270mm PZD superzoom so special?
Tamron’s new AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD superzoom is all about speed. The introduction of a Piezo Drive (PZD) motor means the AF system should perform much faster and more silently than the previous Tamron 18-270mm model.
Is the Tamron 18-270mm a Pentax-fit lens?
Tamron doesn’t make a Pentax-fit model, but the recently-announced Pentax smc DA 18-270mm F3.5-6.3 ED SDM is in all probability essentially the same lens, again without the VC module. The Tamron 18-270mm’s closest competitor is the Sigma 18-250mm f/3.5-5.6 DC Macro OS HSM, a very similarly spec’ed lens that we reviewed recently.
How good is the Tamron superzoom’s image stabilization?
As expected for a modern superzoom, the Canon and Nikon mount versions of the lens feature built-in optical image stabilization via Tamron’s ‘Vibration Control’ system, which promises sharper hand held images at slow shutter speeds.
