Tamron's Vibration Compensation?Blur-Stopping Power With No Annoying Motion Delay In Your Viewfinder! With the advent of the latest 15X zoom lens from Tamron, the pioneer of high power zoom lenses, the high power zoom lens has steadily evolved from a 7.1X to a 10.7X to a 13.9X and now to the world's largest zoom ratio of 15X by combining advanced high power zoom design technologies accumulated by Tamron since 1992.

The lens covers an angle of view equivalent to that of a 28mm wideangle to a 419mm ultra telephoto with just one lens, letting the user capture once-in-the-lifetime images of panoramic landscape images or close-up pictures of children smiling, without having to get too close to the subject and without having to change lenses.

Comments about Tamron 18-270mm AF F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD Aspherical (IF) Macro Lens (Nikon):

During the two weeks that I have had the new lense, I am throughly satisfied with it. Other reviews stated that it was very slow in focusing and caused them to miss important shots. I have a Nikon D-70 and have not found this to be the case. In fact, it appears to focus at the same rate as my other lenses. I am glad that the lense is performing as I had hoped it would. I definitely would recommend this lense to others.

Comments about Tamron 18-270mm AF F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD Aspherical (IF) Macro Lens (Nikon):

This is a great all around lens. I bought this to replace my 2 lens setup which I liked very much but was not happy about having to change when on a hiking trail. I have only taken about 100 photos with this lens but everyone is just as I expected it to turn out. In fact some came out better than I expected. The photos I take are just for myself or given away for free to friends and family. So when I judge my photos I judge them with a naked eye. I do not run my pictures through a loop. There are things that could be better like faster focus and less lens creap. Overall what I got for the price I am happy.

Comments about Tamron 18-270mm AF F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD Aspherical (IF) Macro Lens (Nikon):

I've only taken the Tamron out once on a four day trip but it has amazing zoom and macro capabilities all in one lens. One of the selling points was that because of the built in stablizer night shots could be made without a tripod. I'm not so sure about that. I'm still working on it.
