Tamron 18-270mm Lens and a Giveaway

You may or may not know but I have a serious problem…I am addicted to lenses! I LOVE them! In fact, when my family asks what I want for Christmas or my birthday they know to get me a gift card for new gear. I think they are shocked that I’m always saving up for a new lens. Yes, I have a problem. But admitting it is the first step…right???

I got a new lens a few weeks from Tamron and I’m so excited to share it with you. It’s the Tamron 18-270mm f3.5-6.3 made for Nikon, Canon, and Sony cameras. Talk about a versatile lens, I have never owned a zoom lens that covered such a wide range. You know I’m a fan of Tamron lenses since I already have the 28-75mm f/2.8 (great lens as well).

If you are looking for a great lens to use on vacation or outdoors this is a lens to look into. I took it with us to the zoo and I couldn’t believe the close ups I was able to get of the animals.

What a difference between 18mm and 270mm! Check it out!

18mm – ISO 200, f/3.5, 1/2000

270mm – ISO 200, f/6.3, 1/500

Can you see the pinecone??
18mm – ISO 100, f/3.5, 1/800

270mm- ISO 200, f/6.3, 1/500

Just a few more for you to see how wonderful this lens is.

I tried my hand at panning :O)
ISO 200, f/5.0, 1/50 – 21mm

ISO 400, f/6.0, 1/400 – 140mm

ISO 400, f/5.6, 1/500 – 78mm

ISO 200, f/5.6, 1/200 – 92mm

Pros:

- Light weight – This is something you don’t realize you appreciate in a lens until you carry your heavy camera and a heavy lens. You know as a mom, you have enough to carry that a lighter lens is always welcome.

- Focal Length – Like I said earlier, I’ve never had a lens that could cover so much focal length. I’m normally switching out my prime lenses so it was nice to be able to get 18mm and 270mm in one lens.

- Great for travel – As you know, I have been on vacation (am still on it) for awhile. It’s so nice to have a lens that can cover so many things so I don’t need to bring every lens I own with me.

Cons:

- Variable aperture – A variable aperture is when you change the focal length of a lens and the aperture changes with it. You don’t change the aperture, the lens does. This is quite common in zoom lenses unless you buy one with a fixed aperture. The main reason this is a con for me is because if I set up all my settings and then change my focal length to capture an image and my aperture changes, then I need to take a minute to change my other settings. I’m pretty quick to change my settings but sometimes I miss the shot.

- Takes a moment to focus at the longer lengths – When shooting at 270mm it takes a couple of seconds for the lens to lock on the focus.

If you are looking for a great all around zoom lens then this is one to check out. It’s focal length is hard to beat especially for the price. Zoom lenses can be pricey so when you can find one that you can afford you need to snatch it up!

Tamron was more than generous to send me this lens to test out AND offer one for you guys as a giveaway! Can you believe it??? I know I am so excited for you guys!! Yay!!!

Prime lenses just don’t do a great job when he is running around, nearby one second and far away the next. Zooming with that range would be the perfect solution! Thanks for the opportunity to win!

First steps, first birthday and many more. I love taking photographs of everything but especially people and this lens would meet quite a few of them:).

    Wow! This would be so great for my daughter’s skating lessons, when they are practicing in an area of the ice that have no seats nearby…and so many other outdoorsy things…my nephew’s baseball games, my son’s T-ball games, and my kids biking off down the road.

  265. 270

    Wow!!! I’d love a new lens! A Tamron one to boot! It would be GREAT for pictures on my trip to Paris in the spring! ;-)

    The question is what wouldn’t I photograph with this lens. You can do anything with it. The length will help capture my son as he runs down the soccer field. I could actually get the whole field in the shot too.

    I love taking pics of my kiddos having crazy random fun!

  304. 310

    I photograph military homecoming and deployment ceremonies as a volunteer photographer for Operation Love ReUnited. Each event is different and sometimes I can’t get as close as I would like to my subject for the zoom I have and I can’t use a longer prime or else it may be too tight for close subjects. Everything moves so quickly that I don’t have time to change lenses or I’l miss something. The long range helps me zoom in on the buses driving up and quickly pan out to capture the run into each other’s arms as the loved one gets off the bus.

    avatar Tiffany Glover says:

    Oh, how I would love to have this lens! Many photographers swear by their fixed focal lengths, but I’m a zoomer all the way! Both of my sons (along with my hubby) are very active in karate, and so I almost always have a zoom lens on my camera to enable me to catch the action up close without also catching a foot to the face :-) ! This huge expanse of length would be SO awesome to put to use! Fingers crossed that I’ll be the lucky winner!!

This would be a PERFECT solution so those little rugrats can’t run away from my camera!

    I could definitely use this lens on my Nikon D5000 in my work as an Equipment Specialist that works for the U.S. Air Force. My job is to assist Mechanics and Technicians of the HH-60G Combat Rescue Helicopter keep the aircraft in good repair to perform the noble job of rescuing downed aircrew members and anyone else in need of medical treatment both on the battle field and civil, peace-time situations. I use my camera to document images of aircraft components damaged or deteriorating and I send these images to engineers in the States to show them first hand, the damage and condition parts sustain through wear and tear, battle damage and mishap. I take both photographs of mishap aircraft, mishap sites (if accessable), mishap components and possible causes of the mishap, deterioration, or damage; sort of like an investigation. I also am a qualified engine mishap investigator who can sometimes be called to be part of a mishap team to investigate causes of Air Force and civilian Aircraft. So, I would benefit from this lens not only personally but professionally and I think that the U.S.Air Force and U.S. Tax Payers would too due to what I could contribute with the help of this lens!

    It’s hard to shoot kid’s activities, in the gym, on the field, at a ballgame without some variance in my lens so you can get the batter, the basemen and outfielders without changing lenses. I love to also get crowds, the weather etc for scrapbook pages. Yes, great for vacationing without lugging gear all over.

    Lets start with the outdoors:
    The “Always there” Pioneer peak, the blanket of blue,purple, and yellow Alpine flowers found in June on Lazy Mountain, capturing the dancing light of the glacier green water on Upper Reed Lakes in Hatcher pass.

    I would use the Tamron 18-270mm lens to capture the life of the people I love.

    Your blog has been such an inspiration. I am asking for a prime lens for Christmas, I really want to work on my manual skills.

    I would use the Tamron lens to photograph my 2 grand daughters and my new grandson that is due at any moment. I can only imagine the wonderful photos at the zoo, parks and adventures with grammy and pops! Our grandchildren live in different states and we only get to see them a few times a year. The photos that I am able to take are cherished until we can visit them again. I would LOVE to win the new lens from Tamron!!

    I grab my camera on the way out the door with my dog nearly every day, but I always have to decide what kind of photos I want to take because I only want to take one lens. I don’t want to mess with a camera bag because they’re too heavy. If I were lucky enough to win this lens, I’d take TONS of photos of my dog! :) (Actually, I’d take pictures of any and everything, but my dog would definitely star in many of my shots!)

    avatar Christi says:

    I am slowly learning about all the lenses out there (boy, does it make my head spin), and after reading your pro’s and con’s list, i realized that i have completely overlooked this zoom lens. I’m due with my first child in February, so the wide angle capabilities would work well photographing him in the nursery. Then, as he gets older (and quicker) I’ll be able to follow him at a distance with a lens like this. Not to mention, grow my side business taking family pictures for friends :)

  595. 603
    avatar Jessica says:

    I would love to have a lens that I could use at the zoo and other places that I would really benefit from having a zoom lens :o ) Ha…and it would be great to take pics of my kids from a distance…before they notice the camera is on them and stop doing whatever cute thing they were doing!

    This would be a great everyday lens to have around, especially with my 3 kids! I only use primes in my photography biz (sold my zoom to get the 50 1.4 lol) so it would be great to have a zoom again, I’ve missed mine!
