Tamron 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD review: Is this the ultimate lens for travel?

Tamron 18-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD.

Typically, the versatility that comes with a mirrorless camera is due in large part to the ability to twist off the lens and twist on a new one. But the Tamron 18-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD is a single lens that can tackle wide-angle, telephoto, and half macro all without swapping lenses. Or, for that matter, packing or buying multiple lenses.

Now available in Canon RF and Nikon Z as well as the originally launched Fujifilm X and Sony E Mounts, the Tamron 18-300mm APS-C lens is well-suited to travel and walkabout photography because of its unusual versatility. Cramming what would typically require multiple lenses into a single zoom comes with its sacrifices, however, so we spent some time with the Tamron 18-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD to see if that versatility is worth it – and what types of photography this versatile zoom lens is best suited for.
