Was sold on the focal length range. We’re off to Antarctica and it’s the only lens I’m bringing!

A No-Go For Me

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2019

Just awful, I have nothing good to say about this len's picture quality or slow focusing. The only thing I liked about it was it's light weight. Which tells you something about the lack of glass they use to make these. I tried it with my Nikon D500 and promptly sent it back (thank's to Amazon's excellent return policy)!

As advertised. Great walk-around lens to leave on your camera.

This lens is MUCH lighter than my Tamron 70-200 2.8. I love that I can leave it on my camera all the time and quickly pull it out to capture anything my large country yard. We just spent two weeks in Florida and it was excellent for beach shots of my kids. It did a great job of pulling in distant boats and waterfowl. UPDATE: My kids just finished their Spring soccer camp and I got to try this lens out on the soccer field with action shots. Very happy! I was able to easily cover the whole field from one location. The images were sharp and clear. This lens works great with my Nikon D7000. I would buy it again.

A must buy if you need an all in one walking lens

Overall, this is an excellent lens for the price. You have 3 different lenses in one with the 18-400.

The reason for 4 stars: at the longest end, the pictures tend to be a bit more softer than youd like them to be. In addition, i do not believe it is a true 400mm length - i believe ive seen a few online articles here and there that it is actually around 370~ mm or so. Dont take my word for it - but regardless, it is truly a beast. Also, at night or dark times, the auto focus is a bit whacky, but if changed to manual, its very responsive. Those 3 things arent deal breakers though.

I use this on my Nikon D3400 and its been on there for over a year. The autofocus can be a bit buggy during low light areas , but during the day its pretty good. Tamron's Image Stabilization is excellent. Sometimes im more shaky than other days, but im able to get a decent picture at around 1/30s , and my probable best was maybe 1/5? Honestly mightve been 1/10 or 1/15, and pushing any lower i imagine its pretty difficult to get a good shot.

Overall: this is an excellent lens for the money. No, you wont get amazing 100% picture quality, no you wont get 1" second stills thatre perfect, no the auto focus isnt .0001 ms fast. What do you get with this lens then? A very solid, reliable, and long reaching lens. I have taken some excellent pictures with this lens. For the money, you cant beat it. Yes youd find sharper lenses elsewhere - at a price 2x or 3x more than what you will be seeing with the Tamron. The Tamron provides such a versatile reach that its hard to beat price wise and quality wise.

I am happy with my purchase and do not regret it.

Also, the seller provided me with a replacement within 2 days of my email when i noticed some irregularities. Super fast and super helpful i was thoroughly impressed. Personally, i have superb commendation for their customer service. A solid lens and great customer service is an A in my books.

My Lens for travel

To me my preferred lens for travel. It's not a prime lens (I think that should be clear for everyone having a DSLR to use it), but it's covering my needs and does a great job for this price. The pictures, which I don't like and I feel that they have issues with sharpness are 99% related to my settings and behavior while shooting, but I can't blame my gear for that.

This lens is great. It feels sturdier than the Nikon 18-140 I have. Also comes with the hood. The pictures are of great quality too. Great for the serious amateur or a pro and for traveling.

its not fast, its not sharp, but its versatile and for most home, travel, kids, party type of photos this works great since 18-400 is ideal. Yes, the f6.3 at long zoom is not ideal, but adequate if the light is decent...
not meant for serious wildlife stuff.

I purchased this lens to use on my Canon 7D Mark II. It has produced some wonderful photos . I primarily photograph wildlife, and this lens hasn't let me down. The images remain sharp even at the end of the focal range. It is a bit stiff to rotate a the 200mm mark, which is why it didn't receive 5 stars.

Would have been a great product, the stiffness of lens did not work for me.

Auto focus does not work well when you zoom in to a subject. I shoot a lot if events fast movement. Lens are is no smooth, when manual on manual mode. Otherwise the lens has great features.
