Wide Zoom range still really sharp at long focal lengths
Tamron 18-400mm EF-S lens
I've been disappointed by the performance of both Canon & Sigma
small extreme telephoto zoom lenses, particularly sharpness at the long
focal lenses. Then along comes this 18-400mm lens that is the exception
to the rule. It autofocuses well even at 400m zoom (at F6.3) given
reasonable contrast. Focus is quiet, the anti-vibration feature provides
a useful damping of shake, and at F8 the images is less than about 1 pixel
blurred even at this huge zoom. At wide angle there is a little exposure
fall-off at the corners.
Not exceptionally lightweight but perfectly well balanced with the EOS 7D -
quite a heavy camera for an EF-S mount. This lens has transformed the
usefulness of the 7D as a medium sized setup to for wildlife photography.
Not not quite at the quality of an EOS 1D Mk IV + huge and heavy
Sigma 50-500mm IS (NLA) but much easier carry and hold and a good choice
for a long trek.
It's an APS-C lens so is only any good for crop factor cameras or M4/3 if you have one. That said it is Canon specific in mount so don't try using this with an adapter on anything else - you'll be very disappointed. Primarily aimed at pairing with the R5 I'm sure it is plenty sharp and plenty fast enough but as I run Sony and use predominantly vintage glass this was not the right match for me (I instead opted for the Sony 70-350mm APS-C specific to pair with my A6500 and have been very pleased - sharp, deep colour resolution, excellent contrast and of course the ubiquitous low light effectiveness of Sony's little maestro). Just don't expect huge things in low light from this lens - its minimum aperture of f3.5 is only good for the widest end of the focus range, and even then that isn't mind-blowingly fast. When you get to the telephoto end of the range f6.3 is really only going to be any good in bright sunlight. And Canon isn't at the races in low light compared to Sony.
I have previously used the Tamron 16-300mm zoom - this 18-400mm lens offers greater range and is even sharper than the older one. Very impressed and will be an ideal all-purpose lens when travelling.
