Best for
The most extreme-range Tamron superzoom for Nikon DX - covers wide landscape to super-telephoto reach in a single lens. VC stabilisation and PZD silent autofocus make it genuinely practical as a travel-only solution. 'Macro' here means 1:2.9 close-focus, not true 1:1. Optical compromises come with any 18x zoom, but the flexibility can be compelling.
Frequently asked questions
Will it autofocus on entry-level Nikon DSLRs (D3xxx / D5xxx)?
Yes. The built-in PZD motor handles autofocus in-lens.
Does this lens have image stabilisation?
Yes - Tamron's VC (Vibration Compensation) system, roughly equivalent to 4 stops.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
