Experience the great power of a 14X zoom range with Tamron’s 18-250mm*— a single lens capable of shooting both wide angle and telephoto scenes. At nearly 14X, Tamron’s lens is the world’s most powerful zoom and delivers all the photographic freedom of this enormous range in a single, compact lens. *Like a 28-400mm lens in 35mm format.
Strengths: The zoom capabilities are really great. It is a pleasure to handle and the image stabilization features are really impressive.
Weaknesses: I would prefer a wider aperature for low light situations but this lens beats all in it's class.
Bottom Line:
This is a great lens for all photographic subjects. It's wide ang and tele capabilities cover all range of subjects from landscape to close-up macro.
It is my number one lens and a real jack of all lens.
It is always on my camera and this way I can be ready for anything.
I do a lot of nature subjects and this fills the bill completely, From images of insects to large game at a distance.
