Product Overview

Tamron 18-400mm F3.5-6.3 Di II VC HLD is an all-in-one super-zoom lens for Canon EF-mount and Nikon F-mount. It covers the APS-C image circle. Introduced by Tamron in 2017, it has 16 elements in 11 groups.
Like most zoom lenses, the Tamron 18-400mm F3.5-6.3 Di II VC HLD is externally-zooming. Fortunately, Tamron has provided a zoom lock that at least stops zoom creep. For incremental weathers, Tamron is kind enough to include weather sealing.
An all-in-one zoom lens, the Tamron 18-400mm F3.5-6.3 Di II VC HLD trades some performance for versatility, though the most discerning photographers may find the image quality hardly satisfactory. The lens is also stabilized, making it even easier to use.
