The Tamron 18-400mm zoom

It has been a great lens for my needs, especially the convenience of travel when take-along is limited or when I know a shoot where changing lens will be a hassle. I am on my 3rd 18-400. First one rolled off a deck into a lake. The second lens was damaged beyond repair when an upset women slammed my camera into a counter top as she was racing past me in a gift shop in Alaska. I was not going to chase her down. Tamron said cost to repair was beyond their initial estimate so they offered a refurbished 18-400 for the same dollars as the estimate. The lens I received was brand new. My photographer daughter-in-law rarely takes her 18-400 off her camera.

I have a 7D II, tried the 18-400 at a camera store , it did not do very well. My Sigma 18-300 is a much better lens for me and does very good.............

My photo buddy uses the Tamron on his Canon 80 D. He has shot planes, trains and automobiles. I have the Tamron 16-300mm on my Nikon 7100. No problems with either. I do use back button focusing in Servo mode and Manual. Both are great tools in which you learn to use.

The Tamron is ok, but the Sigma is exceptional, and the only lens on my 7D II !!
