March 30, 2012: PhotographyTalk Featured Product of the Day - Tamron AF 18–270mm f/3.5–6.3 Zoom Lens

You’ll Spend Your Photography Equipment Dollars Wisely When You Choose the Tamron AF 18–270mm f/3.5–6.3 Zoom Lens

Tamron is known as the kingmaker of super-zoom lenses and the Tamron AF 18–270mm f/3.5–6.3 certainly wears a crown, as a nearly perfect all-in-one lens for the amateur. Professional Photographer magazine must also agree, since it selected this lens as a 2012 HOT ONE Award winner in the Telephoto Zoom Lens category.

Tamron is celebrating its HOT ONE Award with a special offer: Purchase the 18–270mm by 4/3/12 and receive a $50 rebate. You’ll pay only $599 from B&H Photo Video.

As the world’s smallest and lightest 15x zoom lens, the Tamron 18–270mm is easy to use all day. It weighs only 19.4 ounces and is just four inches in length. Tamron also engineered a lens with the right balance of telephoto focal length and image quality. You can move in close for creative wide-angle views, take the full range of portrait photos in the 70mm to 150mm range and capture distant wildlife or simply your children playing in the park at the longest focal length.

The Tamron AF 18–270mm f/3.5–6.3 includes the company’s Vibration Compensation technology, which a lens of this size and slow speed must have. Tamron’s OS corrects vibration at least 3 stops better. The metal mount and lightweight, but durable, plastic parts are comparable to its competitors. Your hand and fingers will grip the wide zoom ring comfortably and the focus ring is within easy reach at the front of the lens. As with many super-zoom lenses, the Tamron 18–270mm has “double-trombone” mechanics, which almost doubles its length. Despite that liberal extension, it seems no bigger or heavier than other manufacturers’ similar size zooms.
