I was very happy I had my
Tamron 18-270mm Di-II VC PZD lens with me today. I was going with a friend to shoot some rivers up in the mountains. There was a call for showers, which is one of my favorite times to shoot rivers because of the lower contrast and less reflections when using a circular polarizer. As we pulled up to the first area it began to rain. Not too hard but enough to be careful when shooting. I wanted to shoot some of the wider shots to show the whole scene, but I also wanted to focus on some of the details in the river. I didn�t want to have to walk back to the car to change lenses, so the
Tamron 18-270mm Di-II VC PZD lens was the perfect choice. I was able to shoot without worrying about rain getting in the camera while taking off the lens.
Currently through the end of the month there is a
$50 rebate on the lens. With the price reduction Tamron did last year, the rebate brings the lens to an incredible price and makes it a must have in my book. Give
Joel a call up at Camera Land and get yours ordered before the end of the month!
All the photos below were made using the
Tamron 18-270mm Di-II VC PZD lens on a Canon 7D. The focal length selected on the lens barrel is listed above each image. For the Canon, a conversion factor of 1.6x would need to be added to find the comparable lens length in 35mm terms.
