Lightweight and versatile, the 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD for APS-C Canon and Nikon DSLRs is Tamron's answer for those looking for a walkaround lens. Beyond the 27-405mm equivalent zoom range (28.8-432mm on Canon), this lens offers a Piezo Drive (PZD) internal ultrasonic autofocus motor for smooth, fast focusing, as well as Vibration Compensation to minimize the effects of camera shake. Improving overall usability is a minimum focus distance of just 19.3", providing a magnification ratio of 1:3.8 for close-up imaging, while a Broad-Band Anti-Reflection (BBAR) coating combats glare. Additionally, the front element has a fluorine coating that is water and oil repellent.
