With the advent of the latest 15X zoom lens from Tamron, the pioneer of high power zoom lenses, the high power zoom lens has steadily evolved from a 7.1X to a 10.7X to a 13.9X and now to the worlds largest zoom ratio of 15X by combining advanced high power zoom design technologies accumulated by Tamron since 1992. The lens covers an angle of view equivalent to that of a 28mm wideangle to a 419mm ultra telephoto with just one lens, letting the user capture once-in-the-lifetime images of panoramic landscape images or close-up pictures of children smiling, without having to get too close to the subject and without having to change lenses.

I got this lens as a generic carry-everywhere lens for taking on vacations, and it has done its job well. I won't repeat the other reviews, but overall its a very good purchase and I 100% recommend it.
There is one minor drawback on using this lens, as with most other non-canon lenses: It does not transmit distance information to the camera's flash. If you have a camera that uses E-TTL2 flash metering, which uses this distance information as one of the parameters to determine the flash intensity, the camera will not receive it.
Cameras use the distance information only when using direct flash (not bounced), so if you don't use the flash directly, you are fine. Also, distance is only one small part of the calculation, so the E-TTL2 function will still perform well without distance information.
I generally use a different lens when indoors with a external flash, so this is not a big deal for me. However, if this will be your primary lens, its something you might want to consider.

The seller, Buyers Republic (Akin Eso), 8224 Autumn Lake Court, Severn, MD 21144, did not include the lens hood with the lens. I have learned that this is standard equipment and is part of the original "in the box" lens kit.
He did ship with the original box. Perhaps this is why the price was so good???? I have been unable to track down the seller. Can you help.

I took the non-kit route and bought a house and this lens separately. After weeks of searching the web and reading far too many reviews for the perfect all-purpose lens, I couldn't resist the range and price of this lens. An 18-270mm at this price and with such good reviews was hard to pass up. The photos have been phenomenal and the VC (vibration compensation) works better than expected. Aside from a stiff zoom range that has subsided with usage and the occasional lens creep that can be prevented with a lens lock, this lens has been the jewel I'd hoped for and has delivered.

I recently bought this lens to use on my Rebel XSi after weeks of searching and reviewing various other lenses. The lenses I was originally considering were both Canon, 24-105 f4 IS and 24-70 f2.8. Both over $1000 and undeniably excellent lenses.
However, I'm not a pro photographer, nor do I have (or plan to get) a full-frame camera in the near future. So after much deliberation I went for the Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC, to use on an everyday basis for all eventualities. So far I have been extremely happy with the lens. Yes there is the zoom creep when the lens is pointing down, but there is a lock! I've not experienced slow focus in low light, in fact I've been pretty impressed with its speed.
Image quality, for me, is excellent. The zoom range is fantastic and the VC works extremely well (I've taken some sharp pictures at shutter speeds as low as 1/15 sec!).
This lens also comes with a $[...] rebate, and much to Tamron's credit, I received a check within a couple of weeks (un-like some other rebate offers where I have waited months and had to chase companies constantly. Thanks Adobe!)
So for a keen amateur this lens has proved to be excellent. And for a price of $[...] after rebate I'm pleased I made this choice.
