About this lens
Released in 2017, the Tamron 18-400mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC HLD (Model B028) was the world's first ultra-telephoto all-in-one zoom for APS-C DSLRs. Its standout feature is the massive 18-400mm (22.2x) range, taking you from wide-angle to super-telephoto in a single lens, backed by VC image stabilisation and a quiet HLD autofocus motor.

Best for
This lens is aimed at travel, wildlife and everyday photographers who want a single do-it-all optic and would rather not swap lenses in the field. The enormous 18-400mm reach covers everything from landscapes and interiors to distant subjects, making it a practical grab-and-go choice. Being a Di II design, it is built for APS-C sensors only - it projects a smaller image circle and will not cover a full-frame sensor.
Frequently asked questions
Will this lens work on a full-frame Canon camera?
No. The Di II designation means it is built for APS-C sensors and projects a smaller image circle, so it will not properly cover a full-frame sensor.
What is the effective focal range on a Canon APS-C body?
On Canon's 1.6x crop sensors the field of view is equivalent to roughly 29-640mm in 35mm terms, giving both wide-angle and super-telephoto reach.
Does it have image stabilisation?
Yes. Tamron's VC (Vibration Compensation) system provides around 2.5 stops of shake reduction (CIPA), which is helpful at the long end of the zoom.
Can I use it on a mirrorless Canon EOS R camera?
Yes, on APS-C RF bodies such as the EOS R7, R10 or R50 using the Canon EF-EOS R mount adapter; it remains an APS-C-only lens.
Does this lens have image stabilisation?
Yes — VC (Vibration Compensation), 2.5 stops CIPA.
Will it work on Canon RF mirrorless bodies?
Yes, via the Canon EF-EOS R adapter. Autofocus and IS are preserved, and the lens functions normally on R, R5, R6, R7, R8, R50 and other RF bodies.
