Tamron 15x AF18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC MACRO Lens

Tamron AF18-270mm Di II VC Lens Official Press Release

Tamron Announces Second Vibration Compensation (VC) Lens With 15x Zoom Range

Tamron AF18-270mm Di II VC 15x Zoom LensHot on the heels of my review for Tamron’s very first Vibration Compensation (VC) image-stabilized lens (Tamron AF28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di VC Lens Pro Review), Tamron announces they’re working on a second VC lens. This is great news for photographers shooting with Nikon and Canon APS-C sensor digital SLRs. One of the things I said in my review of the Tamron AF28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di VC lens was that it would be nice to have a shorter, wider version for cameras like the Canon EOS Rebel XSi / 450D or the Nikon D60. Apparently Tamron’s designers were thinking ahead - because the 15x 18-270mm Di II VC lens is exactly what I was asking for. The 15x zoom will be roughly equivalent to a 28-420mm lens on a 35mm camera. And at 3.8-inches (101mm) it will actually be smaller than Tamron’s 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di or the Canon EF 28-135mm IS lens (see lens size comparison in the Tamron 28-300mm VC lens review). The Vibration Compensation image stabilization worked great on the AF28-300mm VC lens I tested and it’s exciting to see that more VC lenses are already in the works, even if they aren’t yet sure about pricing or when the new lens will be available.
