Nice little lens for Micro Four Thirds in great condition. It works equally well on Panasonic or Olympus gear. This is one of the first lenses I bought when I entered into the Micro Four Thirds world. It is lightweight, small in size although not miniature, perfect vacation lens. I have always liked the image quality- it has sort of a dreamy look which is perfect for landscapes and country cityscapes- think Venice, Tuscany, Florence, Palouse in WA, seascapes, etc. It doesn't have that stark, ultra sharp look. Look at it new on the Internet and check out the sample images to see what I mean.

Focus is fast and accurate, color is excellent, very reliable. If you look closely, there are a couple of very small, light scratches on the silver part of the lens barrel.

Front and back caps, hood included. I have the box, paperwork and warranty in Az (I am in Oregon presently) which I will be glad to send to the buyer in the fall.

225.00 and I pay shipping. PayPal.

Tamron never made an 18-300, perhaps you got the 18-270?
The newest in lens technology has resulted in a very fine lens for the money. Perfect? Of course not, but very impressive.

Yup you are right- Tamron 18-270.

I have a Mac and I use Camera Raw and PS mostly and LR occasionally. I also have OnOne which has oodles of possibilities. The newest version has incorporated some of the look of the old Nik software. Very functional software, not a huge learning curve with good results and not too expensive.

Nice!! You are a quick study :) You say you rented the Nikon 7500- are you going to get one? Nikon has a very light weight 300 mm f4 lens- add a teleconverter for length and still under 30 oz.

The Tamron 18-400 just started shipping last Monday, it's a beauty of a weather sealed super zoom lens. My experience shows it is sharp throughout the range but can benefit from AF Fine Tuning at the long end to make it the best it can be. 6 year warranty too, all for only $649. Tough to go wrong with this one.


I picked up a used Tamron 18-300 mm lens that is very good on the wide end but not so good on the long end. I discounted the new Tamron 18-400mm for that reason. Perhaps I was premature?

My wife uses her P-900 and took this Bluebird standing in our living room shooting out the picture window.
She loves the Zoom she has. The bird was about 30 feet away. hope this helps.

Your wife did very good! Sharp, nice color and contrast. But I'm wondering what was in the background .

I just updated Adobe 2 or 3 days ago and I went to the software info on the computer and still the 7500 was not on the list of cameras added. Was there another update?

I'm wondering if the red brick wall behind or some type of diffused lighting influenced his color because on my screen he is very red- not tanned. What was your white balance set to? Otherwise very pleasant, relaxed portrait.

This a bit of a long read and I apologize for not being much of a writer, but here's what I've found on my road to going mirrorless.

Due to complication from a medical condition, I was losing the feelings in my hands and started dropping things. I made the decision to sell my big cameras and lenses, but I didn't want to give up my photography. I sold my Canon 5D Mk III and my big lenses and started exploring other cameras.
I tried some bridge cameras and although they had many nice features, I missed some of the things they lacked.
I decided to explore mirrorless cameras. I've been a user of Canon cameras since my days in Viet Nam so I started with the Canon M3 with the add on electronic view finder. It wasn't for me - too clunky with the add on view finder and it either lacked many things I expected in an SLR. Shortly after I purchased the M3, the M5 came out. I t had a built in EVF and many of the missing features were included. Sold the M3 and bought the M5. I really liked the camera but even with an add on hand grip it was too small for my hands and a couple of the buttons were in the wrong places for me. I was always managing to hit the button to view pictures that were in memory, just as I was about to take a picture. Sold it and all the lenses and went to the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mk II.
The Oly is a beautiful camera, a little complicated to use because of all the things it is capable of. Even with that it's worth the effort to learn its many menus. The picture quality is superb and the availability high quality lenses, or the availability to use adapters for lenses from other manufacturers made it a great choice. I love this camera, but then I saw the reviews for the Fujifilm X T2.
The Fuji is fantastic, all the major settings (ISO, shutter speed, apature, focus points, etc) are available without having to go to menus. It also has some buttons that can be programmed for special functions as the user desires. The EVF is super sharp and bright and the color of the final images are better than any other camera I've ever used. The auto-focus is unbelievavly fast. I purchased it with the hand grip/extra battery holder and the 18-55mm lens (like all midro 4/3 cameras its equivelent to 27-80mm). Using it is like going back to the earlier cameras like my AE-1, it's made photography fun again. I find I'm now shooting every day and the one lens along with some adapters is meeting all my needs. No more lugging around thirty pounds of extra equipment.
If there are any draw backs they are minor. There are very few accessories or lenses available at this time. You can buy an adapter that will allow you to use other Fuji 4/3 lenses on the micro 4/3 of the X t-2, so there is a work around, if you need it. The 50MByte raw files would be a limitaion for those with small hard drives, or limited computer memory. The price could also be considered a draw back.
It's time to sell the Oly and all the lenses and accessories, because I think I've found the perfect mirrorless camera for me.
If you're thinking about goint to a mirrorless camera the Fujfilm X T-2 is worth exploring.
This a bit of a long read and I apologize for not ... (show quote)


I have pretty much followed the same route as you with similar conclusions. I did try the Fuji X-T 20 but it was too small for me although it had the same fine image quality. I am hoping Fuji will add a 70-300 f4 mm lens keeping with the lighter weight and size. I have the 50-230 mm lens and while it is sharp, lightweight, and reasonably priced, it is a bit too short and too slow to attach a teleconverter. It is one of the few Fuji lenses without aperture markings on the lens. My other lenses for the Fuji are all prime- 18 mm, 23 mm and 35 mm (all f 2.0) - all fine lenses. None of those primes are stabilized but not needed.
