A lens with all focal lengths from wide-angle to ultra-telephoto!
The 18-300mm F / 3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD covers a large focal length range from around 27mm to 450mm (35 mm Equivalent). It is the worldwide first1 zoom lens with 16.6x magnification for mirrorless APS-C cameras and offers all the advantages of all-in-one zoom lenses, which are suitable for a wide range of photographic applications. The carefully balanced optical system includes several special glasses that enable 16.6x magnification with the highest image quality. The resolution from the optical centre to the edge of the image remains consistently high over the entire focal length range. As with Tamron's other lenses for mirrorless system cameras, the fi lter diameter is 67 mm.
Uncompromising optical performance throughout the entire zoom range
The Tamron 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 VC VXD is a high-resolution all-in-one zoom lens created through TAMRON's persistent pursuit of outstanding image quality. The optical construction includes several special lens elements, specifically four LD (Low Dispersion) and three hybrid aspherical lens elements. These elements help to produce clear, sharp images from the center to the corners. Chromatic aberration and other optical aberrations are well corrected. In addition, the BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) Coating suppresses ghosting and flare, which commonly occur in backlit scenes. Throughout the entire zoom range, the 18-300mm provides both high image quality and soft creamy bokeh.
Best-in-class autofocus that’s fast and precise, you’ll never miss a shot
The Tamron 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 VC VXD is a zoom lens with speed, precision and responsiveness that ranks at the top of all-in-one zoom lens category, due in part to TAMRON’s VXD linear motor focus mechanism. Even at the ultra-telephoto focal length of 300mm (the full-frame equivalent of 450mm), it glides into focus comfortably from the minimum distance to infinity. Its focus tracking is so effective that it allows you to capture decisive moments when photographing insects, animals, vehicles or other moving subjects. Since it directly drives a group of lens elements to focus without using gears, the lens is exceptionally quiet. The linear motor suppresses drive noise making this lens ideal for shooting both still photos and video in environments that demand silence.
Equipped with Tamron's proprietary VC
This lens incorporates Tamron's proprietary VC mechanism to minimize the effect of camera-shake, which is likely to occur in the telephoto range. It displays its ability to perform when shooting handheld under low-light conditions such as indoor or when shooting at night. It effectively reduces the degradation of picture quality. Using AI technologies, the lens will choose the compensation characteristic for videography at focal lengths of 70mm or less.

Maximum magnification ratio is 1:2, absolutely amazing for an all-in-one zoom lens
At the 18mm wide end, the lens attains an MOD of 0.15m (5.9 in) and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2. With an amazing working distance of 5mm (0.2 in)2, you can get as close as you want to your subject while capturing the background. This opens the doors for a style of expression that is exclusive to wide macro photography.
2 When shooting with an MOD of 0.15m (5.9 in) at the wide end, the distance between the subject and the front tip of the lens is approximately 5mm (0.2 in). Use precaution so that the front element does not touch the subject when shooting at MOD.

Bought this as an all-rounder lens for my X-T4, ready to take on holiday next year where space is a premium.
Opinion so far - a cracking wee lens. Macro photos have been great, full zoom photos of birds are in pin sharp focus and the wide angle photos have been clear and sharp. Haven't had the chance to try it on birds in flight yet.
There is greater contrast in the photos maybe than I have with my Fujifilm 18-135mm but I've made a couple of changes to settings within the camera so we'll see how it goes and the detail is all there in the shadows when editing the RAW photos so it's not a big deal. In fact, not sure whether the 18-135mm lens will find its way back onto the camera again!
