Tamron 18-250mm F/3.5-6.3 AF Di-II LD Aspherical (IF) Macro Review by bobatkins.com

I was actually quite surprised by the performance of this lens. I didn’t really expect a 13.9x zoom to be very good, and indeed it does have some limitations, but it did better than I expected, especially at the wide end of the range.

Tamron AF 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II LD Aspherical [IF] macro (Canon) – Review / Test Report by photozone.de

Early user comments already suggested that new Tamron AF 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II LD Aspherical [IF] macro does not only offer a longer range but also a higher quality over the old Tamron AF 18-200mm XR and the lab results confirm these impressions. The results may not touch the sky but the new AF 18-250mm delivers a very solid performance for most of the range. Unsurprisingly the weak spot is at 250mm @ f/6.3 – stopping down to f/8 is a good idea here…
