Pros: color rendition in my opinion adorable; reasonable compactness, considering the focal range; sharpness not from fixed lens, but still satisfactory; stabilization; useful in everything: from landscape, to birdlife, through portraiture and - in the video field - it also allows you to make vlogs thanks to 18mm; Lock button to prevent zoom movements.

Cons: high price even on second-hand cars; Dark lens already at 18mm and the situation gets worse going up in focal length.

Opinion: Nothing, I fell in love with Tamron lenses. It was a sudden love, I had never had one and I bought two, practically at the same time: = the 18-300, the subject of this opinion, which I bought used from RCE foto Torino (a shop that will see me very often, for the quality of the products and the advice offered) giving in exchange two lenses that had now made their good part of the journey in my company; = and the 17-70, which I found on offer on Ollo Store (impeccable service) to also have a versatile lens but a little brighter, but eventually I will talk about it separately because I have not yet tested it properly. On the 18-300 I had read right and wrong at the same time. Almost all the evil referred to the Fuji world, to tell the truth, while on Sony I seemed to have understood that the lens behaved decently well. I was also torn because I was also aiming for the Tamron 70-300, a full frame lens that costs much less than the 18-300 and is not stabilized and I had courted a lot of the Sony 70-350, stabilized and certainly offering the best quality among the three lenses. I could have combined Tamron 17-70 and Sony 70-350, maybe it would have been the best combination (and I still dream about the Sony at night, but sooner or later I'll get one). The fact is that I was intrigued by this "monster" capable of starting from 18mm and even reaching up to 300mm. Guys, what can I say, except that it brought back the joy of experimenting with photographs (after a long time dedicated only to video). I can capture shots that would otherwise be impossible, it's really a wonderful tool. Sharpness, then, a separate chapter: I consider it generally good, more or less at all focal lengths. Maybe it loses something from 200mm upwards, but I don't have enough skills to confirm it. For what little I have been able to test, on short focal lengths it loses hands down against its "brother" 17-70, both for sharpness and bokeh, but on the other hand it allows you to photograph what the pigeon is chewing on the light pole a hundred meters away, which for me at the moment is appreciable. However, it represents a leap forward, in any case, compared to the 70-300 also from Tamron, of similar build quality, which, however, has a shorter focal range, is not stabilized and does not have the switch to block the lengthening of the lens at inopportune moments. Clearly, the 70-350 goes even further and certainly gets there better, but it also costs more on the price when new. I use it on a ZV E10 for the moment, but on the A6700 it performs even better (I had it on test for a few days). I would recommend it.

Pros: It does not give concerns about the type of lens to be taken away. More than good sharpness with subjects not far away (less than 50 meters) and focal length not close to 300mm.

Cons: It is not a lens from hours close to sunset, unless you point towards the setting sun... Passable sharpness for subjects within 50-80 meters and as long as you do not stretch up to 250-300 mm. Beyond these parameters the lens behaves like any superzoom.

Opinion: Mounted on an X-S10 that I use as a second body, it is a "carefree" lens. All in all a decent superzoom that allows you to photograph in a wide range of situations, as long as they are bright enough and that the subjects are not too far away. It is not a lens for professional shots, but a lens for good daytime amateur shots. On the X-S10 it does not unbalance too much and it seems that the lens and sensor "love each other".

Pros: Great versatility of the focal length 18-300 mm FF (27-450 mm APCS), fast silent and precise autofocus, sharp and well-controlled images over the entire focal range, practicality of use, excellent weight / size ratio image quality.

Cons: Lack of ON/OFF selectors for focusing/stabilizer, zoom ring not very smooth, bokeh sometimes a bit irregular.

Opinion: Good morning everyone, I state that I have had / tried lenses qualitatively better and worse than this, but I believe that it is correct to give the right merits and demerits according to the field of application. Let's start from the range of the focal excursion 18-300 mm FF (27-450 mm APCS) composition of the frame I would say priceless and fun guaranteed. Fast, fast, silent and precise autofocus, nothing to complain about. Image quality in general excellent, very sharp and constant at all focal lengths. Distortion and vignetting present but not invasive and in any case absolutely well controlled and manageable with a good software in post-production. Bokeh not the best, or in some situations it makes, in others not, you have to "know" it for a moment but we are not at the levels of a Sony 70-350 to make a comparison. In conclusion, being a versatile "nature" lens, compared to other predecessors the quality is much higher and I believe that today it is the best choice available on the market for this type of product. If we have to consider the performance / price ratio to use it on different occasions, whole days or simple practicality "free" from the clutter of other lenses, this is the right solution to bring home excellent images. Conversely, if our orientation, budget or work leads us towards more specific situations dictated by other needs, then the choice will fall for obvious reasons on other sectors of employment. I will update the review with sample photos as soon as possible.
