Description

The Tamron 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 is the world’s first lens for APS-C mirrorless cameras with a 16.6x zoom ratio, the greatest feature of this lens, covering wide-angle to an ultra-telephoto range (27mm to 450mm full-frame equivalent). With this broad coverage, the lens empowers shooting in a wide variety of situations including everyday life and travel snapshots with wide-angle, dynamic ultra-telephoto, and macro photography. Its AF drive system uses Tamron’s VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor autofocus mechanism for superior quietness and agile performance in still and video modes. The lens includes special optical elements arranged precisely to maintain high resolution performance from edge-to-edge and provide high image quality making it the best of all-in-one zoom lenses. Moreover, with an MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 5.9” at 18mm, and a remarkable maximum magnification ratio of 1:2, this lens performs astonishingly well when shooting up close. This lens is equipped with Tamron’s proprietary VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism, effectively reducing image blur caused by camera shake in low-light conditions or in the ultra-telephoto range at slower shutter speeds. Also, same as most other Tamron lenses for mirrorless cameras, the lens features a 67mm filter size. With a wide variety of other features for comfortable shooting, this is a highly versatile lens that allows you to easily enjoy high image quality from wide-angle to ultra-telephoto and paves the way for eciting new photographic experiences.

  • Great step up from a standard kit lens. *Includes US Warranty*
I bought this to extend the reach of my already excellent Sony 18-135. Based on first impressions I'm quite pleased with the results. The extended 18-300 range is quite useful and will make for a great walk around lens for travel. Image quality looks great. One interesting feature of this lens is the minimum focusing distance at the wide-end. You can get within an inch or two of an object and still get focus, making it useful as a semi-macro lens. My only two quibbles are unavoidable for a lens of this type. First, focusing is a touch slow but that's due to the lens itself - a zoom of this range requires a large number of lens elements and moving them to focus is sometimes slow. Second, the lens is just plain big and heavy. Not nearly as big as a full frame lens but it's easily one of the bigger lenses for Sony's APS-C ecosystem. A previous reviewer stated they believed the lens was gray market, however the one I received (ships and sold from Amazon) is not. A holographic sticker was included on the box verifying it was an authorized sale under US warranty. GOOD: - Useful zoom range - Incredibly close focusing distance opens up possibilities - Good image quality and color rendition - Solid build BAD: - Autofocus is a tad slow compared to smaller range lenses - It's big and heavy! If you're looking for a great all-purpose walk around lens for a Sony A6xxx series this is a great choice! ... show more

  • Good general purpose lens
If I could have only one lens for the rest of my life, it’s this one. Things I don’t like: It’s large, so it doesn’t fit in my smallest camera bag. Things I do like: It produces amazing photos. WIthout that, the rest is meaningless. This lens delivers. I never feel like I could have gotten a better photo with a better lens. It has a decent aperture range for a zoom lens. I’m not married to the idea you can only get a good bokeh background with a super tiny F-Stop. Even as a beginner, this lens has enough of a range, I have enough tricks we can pull it off together. It has an amazing range. I can photograph birds in the tree across the street, a joust at a Renaissance Festival, and a friend sitting across a very narrow living room all with one lens. I don’t care for swapping in the middle of things, and being able to get good shots near and far is a top priority for me. It’s not that heavy. I can shoot handheld no problem. It’s easy to manual focus. Yes it has auto focus. No, there are no problems with that. But sometimes the camera wants to focus on one thing and I want to focus on another. This lens is easy to get the things I want in focus to be in focus. It’s a perfect lens for the Sony A6000. ... show more

  • Very Good APS-c lens, great for travel
I used this on my SONY A7-4 works GREAT outdoors but I already have a full-frame Sigma lens that overlapped much of this lenses range. I prefer faster lenses. 1.8-2.8 If you are an APS-c user this could be your one-and-done lens for almost every situation.

  • Do-everything lens
Using it with the Sony a6400. I bought this for travel and to get longer reach than the Sony 55-210. At first I thought this was huge, but I've got used to the size. I got it for the longer focal length, but I like that it can go as wide as 18 mm without having to do a lens change. I took it on vacation and didn't pack a second lens. It's not too heavy on an APS-C body. One day I walked 20 miles and took 600 pictures. When I wasn't holding it, it was around my body with the Peak Design Slide Lite. The weight didn't bother my arms our shoulder. The zoom ring feels solid but not too tight. I can easily rotate the focus ring with my left thumb. I'm very happy with the photos. The Sony A6400 + Tamron 18-300 feels like the perfect pair. Also, kudos to the seller and Amazon delivery. It was delivered by Amazon instead of the post office or shipping company, and the driver required an adult signature. ... show more

  • Great Pictures
This was a great addition to my photography collection. I am an animal photographer, and this was a great addition. It snapped on my camera body easily, and it has great features. Pictures come out clear. The telephoto part works great, allows me take pictures from a distance.

  • Overrated and overhyped
Had to return like 3 of these - terrible quality control - dust inside, jerking when zooming in/out. Finally got a well made one, but picture is too soft/blurry. Yes, it’s cheap, but i would buy more expensive and better one.

  • The kit lens I wish my Sony a6500 would have come with
Great all around lens if you don’t want to be switching between a portrait lens and a zoom lens, this is a good all rounder. Aperture doesn’t get too low, but if you stand back from your subject and zoom in, the background compression gives you a nice blur effect and makes the background objects like mountains seem closer and larger. Great for vacation and photographing my kids who refuse to pose for a photo. ... show more
