Compré este lente en octubre del 2023, y a los 4 meses empezaron a depositarse partículas en el interior claramente visibles. El contacto con Tamron es tardado, no les importa y al final te mandan con una empresa en la CDMX que se llama Fotomecánica, (tan burocráticos para atenderte) indicando que como es marca Tamron tendré que pagar 1800 de envío a Estados Unidos para que lo revisen y me digan si aplica la garantía. ¿Entonces para que se hacen como "representantes" de la marca en México, si en sus laboratorios no pueden resolver nada? A mi se me hace que más que representantes, son solo unos viles comercializadores sin ningún tipo de estrategia para el soporte, como si fuesen autos chinos. Me dieron la opción de pagar 100 para que ahora si me lo diagnostiquen en su laboratorio, pero claramente me darán después un presupuesto de la reparación. No es justo, por ese motivo no compren esta marca en México. En resumen, salen defectuosos sus productos y aparte no quieren hacerse cargo.

Versátil mientras haya buena luz. En muchas ocasiones puede ser el único lente que usar, permitiendo hacer desde una foto grupal a pocos metros, hasta detalles a distancia de algún concierto, por ejemplo, donde ha funcionado bastante bien. El zoom no es suave, no se logra usar bien para video pues se atora en varios puntos, pero es firme entonces difícilmente se recorre solo con la gravedad como otros, aparte que tiene candado para dejarlo fijo en 18mm, lo que es útil si andas por ahí con la cámara colgando, pues no se extiende todo el barril de la lente con el mero caminar.

This lens permanently sits mounted on one of my three cameras. It's the ultimate walk around lens. Some have complained that focus is soft at 300mm, but I don't see this as a deal breaker. First off, getting the shot is more important than getting the lens out. This lens replaces both my 18-105mm and 70-300mm together. (Yes, the 70-300 is Full Frame and quite a sharp lens, but sharp means very little when you've missed the shot.) Second, I don't find the lens very soft at 300mm. The train tracks image was taken at 300mm. I am happy with how it turned out.A few more details about the lens. The extension barrel is a bit stiff while zooming out, but a lot smoother zooming back in. Not ideal for video I suppose, but I use mine for photography only. Auto focus is quick and accurate, and manual focus is smooth. The lens is well built and lightweight, but what crop sensor lens is heavy? Seriously. The weather sealing is a superb touch. I'm a bit of a clean sensor snob, so knowing that the lens is tightly sealed to the camera makes me feel comfortable. As mentioned above, I like the images taken at 300mm, and the close focus at 18mm is insane! Almost touching the subject, making for a macro style photo, as seen in the simple leaf image.Overall, this lens is well worth the money and I have no issues with it at all.

Got it in five days from Amazon. Took it out to Melkote and Kere Tonnur the very next day to test the lens. I have mated it to my basic Sony A6000. The picture quality is excellent especially below the peak exposure level of 300mm. Feels solid, decent build quality. VC works top notch, I was on two hill tops with huge wind obstruction; with no tripod. The VC worked almost perfect. No vignetting. Very acceptable quality of pictures. Happy to have it on my Sony. Now I don't need to use the others - 18-105G lens, 18-55 kit lens, 55-210 telephoto kit lens... Tamron 18-300 exceeds expectations.

Optical quality is great, today was the firt use, the zoom mechanism is NOT nice and smooth, IT has several resistance points, you need to apply an effort force to zoom in and out.Im contacting Tamron to see if this is normal or I get a deffective one. Maybe I need a replacement.I have seen some reviews and see that they said it is smooth and no resistence points.Please Tamron help me to get a greta product, so I can change this to a 5 star review.La calidad del lente es genial, inmejorable, mucho mejor que el Sony 55-210, pero el mecanismo del zoom es no es nada suave, de hecho es muy duro, tiene muchos puntos de resisitencia y hoy al usarlo, acabe canzado de la fuerza que tenia que aplicar, ya que el evento requeria cambio de zoom contantemente. Creo que me salio defectoso pues he visto reseñas y decian era suave en el zoom sin puntos de resistencia en el. hoy mande un correo a Tamron para preguntar si es normal o ocupo un remplazo.Por favor Tamron ayudame a tener un buen producto para cambiar la reseña a 5 estrellas.

I bought this to extend the reach of my already excellent Sony 18-135. Based on first impressions I'm quite pleased with the results. The extended 18-300 range is quite useful and will make for a great walk around lens for travel. Image quality looks great. One interesting feature of this lens is the minimum focusing distance at the wide-end. You can get within an inch or two of an object and still get focus, making it useful as a semi-macro lens.My only two quibbles are unavoidable for a lens of this type. First, focusing is a touch slow but that's due to the lens itself - a zoom of this range requires a large number of lens elements and moving them to focus is sometimes slow. Second, the lens is just plain big and heavy. Not nearly as big as a full frame lens but it's easily one of the bigger lenses for Sony's APS-C ecosystem.A previous reviewer stated they believed the lens was gray market, however the one I received (ships and sold from Amazon) is not. A holographic sticker was included on the box verifying it was an authorized sale under US warranty.GOOD:- Useful zoom range- Incredibly close focusing distance opens up possibilities- Good image quality and color rendition- Solid buildBAD:- Autofocus is a tad slow compared to smaller range lenses- It's big and heavy!If you're looking for a great all-purpose walk around lens for a Sony A6xxx series this is a great choice!

AmazonAE does not want customers to see their own failures. Refund was fast.
