Tamron 18-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD

Photography can be a constant battle of convenience versus perfection and the inherent cost associated with the two. Travel zoom lenses, such as the Tamron 18-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD, are the perfect example of this. We all know there will be compromises in image quality when using a lens with a 16.6x range. Still, some photographers can forgive those imperfections for the considerable saving in size, weight and cost. At just £679, the Tamron 18-300mm lens can be used for everything from landscapes to wildlife shots. It even has a 1:2 magnification ratio for shooting close-up images; it could be the ideal lens for travelling or those just starting out.
