I used the Canon SL2 + Tamron 18-400mm extensively on a recent trip to Cancun.

I find the extra reach essential for my interest in wildlife photography. Sharpness on the long end seemed very good to me also. 300mm does not often cut it for wildlife for me.

Lots of sample images on

Hi Dave'

For the OP, how do you like the 18-400 compared to the 16-300 (reach notwithstanding)?

I've seen some posts where folks have preferred the new lens.

TIA,

R2

ps. I've used the (older) 18-270 and IQ was fair.  It was pretty well-behaved otherwise.
