Pros:Versatile, I thought less sharp at 400, from the tests I did in full light.. my problem is not being able to close too much by going into difraction. It has a more robust look than the 16-300 it replaces.
Cons:I miss the ring with distances. Useful at night.
Opinion:I know it's not crisp at 400 at full opening, but photographing during the day is no problem going beyond F8. In fact, in macro I tend to close to have more PDCs. I don't need a blade.. I don't think I have to croppare. Obviously at 400 you have to have a steady hand but from the first tests it does not seem to me to be bad. I do not claim to challenge specialized optics but what I have is enough for me and advances. I would have spent more on a heavier and more sophisticated 15-400.. Lightness for me is a machine, an optics and a battery...
Opinion:Bought to replace an old Tamron 18-270 that worked really well but that was beginning to show signs of age. It was a big disappointment because at the longest focal lengths does not focus well and produces indecorous images. Clear that at such a price can not expect excellent performance but I expected a yield at least equal to 18-270. I immediately made the lens is I'm considering to buy another one because I get the doubt that it can be defective so much is the lack of quality...
Opinion:For 630 euros you have a travel handyman. I thought worse rather bright enough. I used it in Kenya and I found it very good for the ductility of its focal hike. Definitely over 250mm starts to lose a bit ' but for this figure is a right compromise. Excellent stability, the autofocus is sometimes slightly slower than fractions of a second.
Pros:Brighter than expected, weight, focusing distance
Cons:it is at most an effective 18-280, at "400mm" it is clear only at f10-12
Opinion:I bought this lens on an agreement with amazon and, after receiving it, I compared it with the Canon 100-400II. Already at 100 mm the magnification in Tamron is slightly lower than the Canon, but then the gap increases to 200 mm and finally, at 300 and 400 mm, the Tamron almost no longer enlarges, reaching an intermediate magnification factor between 200 and 300 of the Canon. I checked with the store, returning it, that it was not my goal to be defective, but that even a second Tamron 18-400 lens was just like a "package". So I asked for a refund. Of course I am amazed by the lack of seriousness of Tamron.rnResto available to send, to those who wanted it, the file comparison between the Canon lens and the Tamron
