Re: Tamron 18-270mm ... any good?

I see that no-one has responded to you so far today.  I have not used this lens.  But I researched this a long time ago.  What I remember about this superzoom, is that the images were OK.  But for better images, not exceeding something like 8x zoom was generally better.  So I decided to initially use two cameras and lenses with them attached.  One camera had the 18-55mm lens and the other camera had the 55-250mm lens.  That combination is what I used to go from 18mm to 250mm.  It was a two lenses solution instead of a one lens solution.  But people will use that Tamron 18-270mm lens because the convenience factor is more important to them.

I haven't read recently anything about that lens.  I would suggest reading more up-to-date reviews about that lens before deciding.
