Why Canon EOS 350D? Why not a latest DSLR? I dont think this is a fair test with such an old DSLR.

The barrel distortion is very noticeable at wide angle settings, especially if there are any straight lines in your picture. However, it’s a one-click correction in Photoshop.
Overall, the quality is OK and the convenience factor is high - makes a good travel lens if you’re looking for a one lens solution.

The initial reviews of the new light-weight Sigma 18-250 macro superzoom suggest it may be better than this Tamron, surprised it’s not listed in the competitors section !

I sold my Tamron 18-270 PZD, and purchased Nikkor 18-300 mm superzoom. Waiting for review. Nikkor has much, much better image quality.

nick192: I normally use an EOS 60D and a lot of the pictures were taken with it. I can’t remember why now (I did the review earlier this year) but I didn’t have the camera for the second half of the review and had to use my trusty 350D. I think it gives an example of how it works with old and new DSLRs. The sharpness images were taken on the 60D though.

I hope that helps.

Hi,
Test for RebelXTi i perefectly fine for me, because i still use it:)
And what more I do use it with standard lens 18-55. So after 7 years it is time to buy some new lens. From review I understand that it is nice allraunder and I will be happy with it. If I will change my body in future( far futur cause I am happy with my Rebel:) it soupoused to work with next generation of canons?
Besides nice review. Only main rivals seems to be not compleat
Best regards
Bart
