The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Pros:Versatility, sharpness, bulk and weight, easy handling
Cons:I would only have preferred the ON/OFF button of the stabilizer. At 300 it drops a bit.
Opinion:In my opinion it is an excellent "stress reliever". You go around with a single lens, or at most with a wide angle lens in addition, you look around, you see something that can have a certain meaning if framed with a long focal length, and zac.. you catch it immediately, remaining light and ready for any eventuality! The quality of the photos is good, I would say excellent (used with Nikon Z50). I was torn between this for the Z50 and the 28-400 for the Z5_2. I preferred to keep it light, and I will be patient waiting for the long-awaited new aps-c Z90. Car aside, I think I made a good choice.
Cons:the zoom if it was a little smoother was better.
Opinion:I own a Fuji XS10 I heard good things about it and since I am like St. Thomas I took this all-rounder and it does it in a dignified way,,,Of course it is not the maximum brightness but if you buy it and seeing the characteristics you are aware x which it is useless to write little luminoso.in the kit I have an 18/55 f2.8 that I use when necessary. x my very modest opinion is a good all-rounder x the various outputs allows you to cover various focal lengths, (you will rightly say but if you have a camera body that you can change the lenses why do you make one that is the all-rounder? simple sometimes you want to start light put this and go: perhaps the only drawback I find is the fluidity of the zoom but I think it is normal being a tropicalized lens the gaskets nn allow that fluidity (if I'm wrong correct me) cmq I find it positive and nn c is imbalance with my camera body and lens.x me a vote 9 hello best regards and good light to all
Pros:Sharp, practical, quiet, well built, equipped with USB-C port for firmware update, equipped with extension lock button
Cons:Missing (x Nikon Z) controls on the barrel and window with distance scale, the usb-c socket is not protected with a cap.
Opinion:Excellent all-rounder, it is almost as sharp as the two Nikons I own but its practicality makes me prefer it, you go from quasi-macro to telephoto without having to change lenses and this sometimes becomes indispensable. In the kit I chose there was also the Tamron UV Filter that I found *exceptionally good* (I had three other UV filters switching from one to the other chasing quality and sharpness and then abandoning them in the box for disappointment, this is fantastic to say the least, in the tests I did it is practically almost imperceptible, if it has a flaw it is that it screws on the lens so well that then it is difficult to remove it). Compared to the 16-300 with F mount it has a different behavior: the 16-300 Macro allowed you to get closer to the subject with any focal length, this is not the case, as you increase the focal length you have to stay further away (it can be an advantage or a disadvantage depending on the case) and the maximum magnification is obtained at wide-angle focal lengths instead of telephoto ones. It is heavier than the Nikon 50-250 (size/lens), has a usb-c socket for firmware update but is uncovered, it does not have a locking cap. It is very well done, it conveys a great idea of solidity. The AF is quick and accurate: faster than the 50-250 and on par in accuracy. Without a UV filter tested in extreme light conditions it did not show unwanted reflections, with the filter obviously if you point it against the sun you can sometimes see a small green circular reflection, which is completely normal indeed .. there are lens-filter couplings that do much worse. Mounted on the Zfc equipped with a SmallRig grip, it brings the total weight to 1,200 gr Perfect colors, as in the best Nikons, there is no difference. Price: I find that the price range for this lens is decidedly anomalous, ranging from about 500 euros for the Sony mount to 850 for the Nikon mount, and always remaining in the Nikon depending on the store it goes from 850 to 600, a really incomprehensible price range. Official 5 or 10 year warranty depending on the Kit and the Store. If I have to give a Grade for me it is a sure 10.
Pros:Focal range, sharpness, speed and silence AF, price
Cons:Zoom could be smoother, slightly bulky and heavy
Opinion:Taken for a Fuji XT5 it is the classic all-rounder, and in general it does it quite well. More than satisfactory sharpness even at the extremes, lightning-fast AF. Comparing it to a Sigma 18-300 that I have for another camera body it is heavier and bulkier, but this must also be put in relation to the compactness and lightness of the current camera body; Other than that it's definitely better at everything. Although I have not tried all super-zooms, I would recommend this lens.
Pros:Sharpness, versatility, stabilization, fast autofocus and bulk.
Cons:not smooth zooming.
Opinion:Mounted on Sony a6600 E-mount, I wanted an "all-rounder" lens but that would not disappoint for autofocus, stabilization and close-up since I also use it at flower fairs and exhibitions where a bit of close-up shooting often happens. Sufficiently light and, if you get the hang of the not very smooth zoom, you quickly reach the desired frame (a quarter turn from 18 to 300).obviously it is a bit dark since it starts from f 3.5 but like many other super-zooms, nothing less. However, in fact, a stop compared to lenses that are still within affordable prices (paid new 460 euros). Today it costs much more but it all happened in the space of a few months. The photos taken of the butterflies and the moon make what I'm saying well, I don't know if other brands are better but I can say that I have bought many Tamrons, already with film cameras and they have never disappointed me too much In particular the 100-400 on Nikon, the 70-300 and on Sony 6600 (replaced only because I had not yet framed the focal length I preferred).
