About this model
The Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD is a do-it-all superzoom for Canon APS-C DSLRs. Its 15x range covers wide-angle to telephoto, making it ideal for travel and everyday shooting when you want to carry one lens. Vibration Compensation reduces blur at slow shutter speeds, while the Piezo Drive autofocus motor is fast and quiet. The lens uses LD and aspherical elements to control aberrations, and it focuses as close as 0.49m for near-macro shots. Note that it is designed for APS-C sensors and will not cover the full frame of a full-frame camera.
