The details
At a glance: 22.2x all-in-one APS-C superzoom - 18-400mm in one lens with VC image stabilisation.
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.
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..
