Product details

The Tamron 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD is the perfect companion for all photographic situations. Its compactness and light weight make it an ideal travel companion. The lens not only covers an impressive focal length range from wide-angle for landscape shots to telephoto for close-ups, but it also allows for easy macro photography with a reproduction ratio of 1:3.8, enabling you to showcase the small things in life beautifully.

The lens features a newly developed piezo ultrasonic motor to ensure quiet, precise, and exceptionally fast autofocus.

Additionally, the unique Vibration Compensation (VC) image stabilization has been improved to enhance its effectiveness while achieving the lens's remarkable compactness.

With a megazoom lens, a very wide range can be covered. Megazooms offer a focal length range from wide-angle to telephoto, making them the lens of choice in most situations. Due to their high flexibility, compact size, and light weight, these lenses are particularly suitable for everyday use as all-round lenses, for holiday trips, when traveling light, or for families with children.

The PZD ultrasonic motor enables noticeably faster and quieter autofocus, making it ideal for capturing spontaneous moments in sharp images. Furthermore, it also offers the option to manually adjust focus at any time.

The proven Tamron VC image stabilizer (Vibration Compensation) ensures sharp and shake-free images with this lens. This allows the lens to be perfectly utilized even in handheld shots or in low light conditions.
