I just got this lens yesterday and must say I love it!


I previously had the Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 and it was a great lens. When I tried my Tamron 18-270mm I just love the range. I tested the camera on various objects and I noticed the automatic focusing is better than the 17-50mm. The macro is really great, I can really close to the object and still focus properly. Image quality is pretty good through out right range. When zoomed in at the full 270mm the quality is still pretty darn good. Not has good as an L lens but handles pretty good compared to its competitor.

I previously had a sigma 28-300mm macro and I find that I like the Tamron better. The lens does not creep when in the downwards of upwards position. The Image Quality is also a lot better.
