At wide-angle, the Tamron AF 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD's zoom ring offers extra resistance than at other times. This is likely to prevent zoom creep and it works.

The Tamron AF 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD does have a form of ultra-sonic motor.

Tamron state on the website that the AF 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD has 49cm macro focusing. We think it was actually closer, more like 30-40 centimetres.

We do realise, however, that bokeh ...
