Versatile APS-C superzoom lens with PZD autofocus motor for Sony A-mount DSLRs.
The Tamron 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II PZD is a high-ratio all-in-one zoom for APS-C Sony Alpha DSLR cameras. Di II indicates APS-C image circle; PZD = Piezo Drive, Tamron's ultrasonic-type silent AF mechanism. The 15:1 zoom ratio covers wide-angle to super-telephoto in a single lens.
18–270mm zoom range (27–405mm equivalent on APS-C), f/3.5-6.3 variable maximum aperture, Di II (APS-C), PZD (piezo drive AF), Sony A mount.
The Tamron 18-270mm PZD provides all-in-one convenience for travel photography where a single lens must cover the entire range. The PZD AF motor is quieter than conventional ring geared AF. Image quality is acceptable across the range for general use.
Test PZD AF function. Inspect for haze, fungus, and coating condition throughout the zoom range. Confirm Sony A mount engagement. Check zoom smoothness across the full range.
