After a couple months of careful review, this video helped me make my decision

Your video made me feel more comfortable with this l we bd as I had ordered the Tamron 17-70 as my everything, but it was shipped to the wrong store and my local shop recommended this as being better based on conversations, a very new beginner and a6000 user. Thank you. Loved the ice shots

Mine has made 2 trips to Iceland, one to Alaska, 2 to Wyoming and I still love it.

Really appreciate you making this video. I just sent off four lenses to sell to buy this one - the two Fuji kit, the 18-135, and a mirrorless 300 mm. This lens has the same aperture, plus the weather resistance of the 18-135, plus the stabilization of the 18-135, but covers the entire distance. I bought the 18-135 to be my travel lens and tried to supplement with the Fuji XC 50-230, but this one lens will be so much better. AND my next trip will be to Iceland, so you can see why I greatly appreciate your essentially affirming my choice. Thank you.

You will really appreciate the versatility of this lens. Not having to change lenses in the Icelandic environment is great! I would love to see some images you capture there!

Thanks for sharing your amazing photos and thoughts on this lens. After much thinking I bought it for my Fuji X S10 and I am blown away with its versatility I can recommend the Fuji version version. Its now my go to lens for everyday walk around..

Hi David. Really enjoyed your video with comments and excellent pictures taken with this lens. I just came back from Colorado where I used the 6600 with the Sony 70-200 f4 and the A7iii with a Sony 24-105 f4. Captured some great landscape pics and some wildlife as well. Unfortunately, at 79 and back problems weight is crucial. I'm heading back to Colorado next month for Thanksgiving and Christmas and I have located a Tamron18-300 that I think it will help with the weight by taking it with the 6600 and leaving the rest of the gear back home. Also important is that it will give me that extra reach for wildlife of 150mm vs the Sony 70-200 on the 6600 body. I was on the fence but after putting it in writing, I think that my mind is made. Thanks for sharing!

I am very impressed wirh this lens! Now that Tamron is starting to make lenses for the Nikon mirrorless system, I will be waiting for the release of this lens to use with my Nikon cropped sensor cameras, especially since the Tamron 18-300 lens has optical image stabilization.

I have nikon camera with their 18-300. It’s pretty much my only lens. Except for some macros. Very versatile!

Great photos. Loved the ones with ice on the beach. I have more zooms than primes ranging from 10-18 to 200-600. That a6600 acted like a magnifier with its 1.5 crop making the 200-600 into a 300-900mm zoom. BTW, how is the minimum focusing with this Tamron. My Sigma 18-50 crop sensor lens for Sony blows me away with its close focusing capability.

Hi David, Wow great photos and thanks for posting and have your photos been processed at all through editing programs. I still use my old Sony NEX 6 and am seriously looking at the Tamrom 18-300mm,the new cost here in NZ is $1250 and I have just spotted a second hand one for $950 with only 3 months warranty, just wondering if I should be concerned at buying 2nd hand so I would like to know if you have had any issues with the lens to this date. Cheers Glenn from NZ

Thanks Glenn. I do use Lightroom but very minimally. I guess the best thing to do would be test the lens to see if everything appears to be working properly.

Very, very little, and that was easily corrected in LR. I imagine once they add the lens profile in LR and PS, it will be eliminated completely.
