I'm not a super technical guy but I know a nice photo when I see one and have carried around enough heavy lenses to know that I appreciate my 18-400 Tamron. I have it on my d7100 Nikon, but also use it on my little d3100 Nikon sometimes. Super happy with this lense. I love everything about it. It looks good and feels good too. I try to carry other lenses sometimes, then I ask myself why? It doesn't make sense. This does everything I need. I've heard criticism of the VC. I don't know why. I think it's great. Nothings perfect. Oh. and the price is crazy good for what you get.

photography is a hobby and it should make fun so you do it so you have more times chance of a great pic and inspiration for more go for it, honestly i would recommend maybe just one extra prime lens extra to the zoom maybe something super wide/ fisheye or some lightweight 35/ 50mm f1.8 would do bedder for portraits for shure, thinking myself of a superzoom for Fx D750 28-300 nikon f3.5-5.6 VR about 500 € used would be awsome for filming or fast pro zoom lenses but without vr

I bought this lens exactly because of the vast range it offers. However, after using it for a couple of months, i was shocked to find out the severe focus breathing issue in this lens. I shoot birds and wildlife upclose, and when i compared it to my Canon 55-250mm lens, my Canon lens gave me closer shots at 250mm than the Tamron at 400mm. I contacted the Tamron supplier in Dubai but they refused to acknowledge the problem and said the lens was fine, even though i showed them samples of both lenses. The Tamron lens also has sharpness problems and it really struggles to acquire focus in less contrasty scenes. Despite its great range, i was disappointed with its performance. I hope that you try the focus breathing and compare the lens to other lenses at closer distances.

What's focus breathing

@wellingtoncrescent2480 Жыл бұрын

@@marxiewasalittlegirl Lens focal lengths (e.g. 400 mm) are reported with the focus distance at infinity. Depending on the design of the moving optical elements in a zoom lens, this maximum focal length may not be achieved at closer (i.e. "finite") distances. Unfortunately, few reviewers or manufacturers report focal lengths for finite distances. To formally test for focus breathing, you can measure the angular separation between stars in the night sky as the focus distance is varied. But it's often easier to compare fields of view with a lens that doesn't suffer from focus breathing. To minimize its impact, you can use extension tubes to focus on closer objects with the focus distance set to infinity, but since I do a lot of birding at close distances, I prefer lenses that don't suffer from focus breathing.

I took this lens with a Canon M5 mirrorless camera on a British Isles cruise earlier this year. I did have a 24-70/f2.8 and a 70-200/f2.8 as backups. I was satisfied with the results, which were to document our trip with some photos. It was a great walk around lens. It performed very well in most instances. The only time that it did not work well was when I was trying to capture movement. I was on our balcony snapping some shots of gulls flying around our ship. It was having an issue tracking the birds in flight in AF. I tried a few shots in MF and that was just OK. Overall, the Tamron did OK. I even took some indoor shots at a Beatles museum with varying light levels and I was pleasantly surprised. I think that as long as you realize the limitations of the lens, this could be a decent travel lens. If you want to be creative, pull out your good glass.

@jimcummingspix 6 жыл бұрын

Can't comment on this lens but I spent 17 days in China with the Tamron 16-300 and my Canon 11-22. 90% of my shots on the Tamron. Over 2800 frames taken and 6 were OOF or otherwise unusable. I have printed up to 30x24 and could go larger. I was surprised at how ell the Tamron performed and doubt anyone (except fellow photographers/gear heads) would find the pix anything but great focus, contrast and color. I'll leave the "is it art" discussion to others but all I know, I've sold several large prints to very happy customers who I did not even solicit (they saw the pix and wanted one). So... I wouldn't be surprised if this lens is a great bargain for what it does.

I am an amateur, and just switched from bridge cameras to DSLR 6 months ago. I was buying the Tamron 16-300 for my Canon 77D to keep the freedom of the bridge cameras on the DSLR. And in bright light, during the summer, it was performing well. But indoors, or during the darker winter days, the quality of the images are getting worse. I am not sure if it is the correct expression, but the images have a very-very soft focus. For me - and I am emphasizing that I am just an amateur - the photos taken indoor, are in many cases seams to be nearly out of focus (using the IS and AF). Is this normal? Or is it just something I might doing wrong? Or could it be an defect of my camera or the lens?

I compared and researched the canon 24 to 70 with the Sigma. At the time, they compared well for performance but the Sigma was less than 1/2 the cost. What would you do?

@GiuseppePipia 6 жыл бұрын

Actually, you should read the paperwork! For example, the Sigma 150-600 lenses in their paperwork it's written that you should not disconnect the lens while the OS is on. The correct way, to avoid having glass stuck in an unrepairable and out of warranty manner, is to turn off the OS and then disconnect the lens from the camera. Therefore: read the paperwork! Or at least get an eye on it! :P Great concise review by the way!

@CrailzGFX 5 жыл бұрын

the OS is not active when the camera is off. and the proper way to switch a lens is by turning the camera off.

@themoodyphotographer59 5 жыл бұрын

That may just be a safety precaution. I have owned the Sigma 150-600mm lens for over a year and I switch lenses and three different cameras often and never turn the OS off, only the camera. The only time I ever turn it off is when I mount it to a tripod.

I freaking love your reviews. This would be a nice walkaround lens if you get decision paralysis but don't want to carry around a lot of glass. It's not for me, because I have the 55-250 and out of all of my lenses, it will eventually be the first one I replace. Not because it's bad, but because the variable aperture drives me nuts and I want that f/2.8 goodness. Though I was listening to your podcast and the thing you said about starting at a higher shutter speed so you can adjust that quickly when the light changes instead of messing with the ISO is going to help me SO much with that lens in particular. Thanks for another helpful video!

I bought this lens as a replacement for my kit zoom and it is head and shoulders sharper. Jared is right on the money about the distortion and the vignette however so I can't recommend it for landscapes unless that's the vibe you're looking for. I would add that it stands up to rain really well but can suffer from auto focus compatibility issues. Happy with my purchase but Mr Polin is right when he says there are other options that will grow with you for longer.

I agree with you in all points !!! I only have Canon full-frame cameras, 5D4 and R. But because I had to wait for the RF 24-240mm, I bought this Tamron 18-400mm; because the R also has an APS-C modus. Now the 24-240mm is here and originally I wanted to sell the Tamron. But , as in the video said, it has some charming advantages. So I have now bought a M50 for this lens. This is the reasonably priced universal solution, if not always top quality is needed.

I am just a hobbyist and have had this lens for years and it has been great for a walk around/hiking lens. However, I have upgraded to a Canon R6 and still using this with EF/RF converter, so wondering if there is a better choice. I also have the Canon RF 100-500 for birding, but the size/weight make it not convenient for general hiking. I generally do not carry extra gear when and hiking would like to start doing a bit with landscape photos. Considering the RF 24-105 f/4 or RF 24-240 f4-6.3. I am assuming one of those lenses would give me better results, but will it be enough to justify the change and losing the extra reach? Anyone have any advice?

Does anyone use this lens for professional use? I do understand the corners or edges will be distorted. But dies croping those areas.. helps? If i intend to take photography as a career, then should i think of buying it? I do nature, food and product photography. As of now i am using 50mm and tokina100mm 2.8 macro ATX-I lens ..

Hey bro is it good for Sony a6500 with adapter? And is it gonna work?

Got a question brother. I want to record my daughters sports indoor and outdoor. Looking for a lens that is fast enough indoors that can reach out far. I have a canon 80d do you have any recommendations. I was thinking canon 70-200 f4 IS. Is this good or should I save up for the 2.8. Or should I get something with a further reach. There in junior high so the distance isn’t amazingly far. Thanks fro boss.

MrV2u while scrolling down through posts read yours. If you want a very good lens at a decent price look at the Tamron f2.8 70-200 G2. Use it for high school football, volleyball, & basketball. Also do concert & some portraits with this lens. Been very happy with results and it hasn't failed to get some challenging shots in difficult situations.

Deacon Blues thanks for your help brother. I will definitely look into it. Were those videos taking with that lens on your channel?

@KAR120C69 6 жыл бұрын

MrV2u no. No concert videos on my channel were taken with the Tamron 70-200. Nearly all videos were done with a small video camera or cell and photos were done with DSLR with the Tamron & Nikkor lenses - very few concert shots are posted publicly. Not all videos were shot by me. Some were being taken when I was doing photos & the videos weren't really meant to be "professionally" done, lol. If you want to see photo results I'm getting from the G2 try this link from a recent basketball game photos.app.goo.gl/Se3yhpQYXqYLzYKk2

I really like how the wind curved around the lens, not even the sony gmasters have this good of a wind tunnel design, this makes it by far one of the best lenses on the market

Would you recommend this with an adapter for a Sony a6400?

Absolutely agree with your assessment of this lens. I recently purchase it and had a chance to use it. However mine smells a bit more like campfire...

I love the tam Ron superzooms, but I’ve had to return both of them that I’ve owned as the iris motor dies in them. Google found more people having the same issue. Have they solved that foible at all? If so, these are great lenses.

Can you confirm how the image quality of this lens Tamron 18-400 compares to the Tamron 16-300? Is it a worth switch since 16-300 really suffers in sharpness.

So would you say its as good or just a little better than a Nikon Kit Lens

@EvangelosPapaioannou 4 жыл бұрын

I replaced my d5300 kit lens with this and its just amazing. One lens for every situation.

Wanted to drop in here and let you know. This lens lives on my D7200 and I love the images I get from it. I have other cameras for "special" stuff, but for everyday carry "on the road" photography, there isn't a better APS-C lens on the market. You get the composition you want, with very nice quality. At least for the Nikon guys out there... buy with confidence.
