The Tamron AF18-250mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II LD Aspherical (IF) lens is this year’s European Consumer Lens awardee as named by the European Imaging & Sound Association (EISA).
The lens boasts the greatest zoom ratio of 13.9X covering a 28mm wide-angle to 388mm ultra telephoto focal length range when converted to a full frame/35mm film format.
It was launched in February this year for use with digital SLR cameras equipped with APS-C sized image sensors. Editors-in-chief and technical editors of leading photographic magazines in Europe, who comprise EISA, evaluated the lens as an easy-to-use, high-performance and all-in-one zoom lens.
