Product description
Tamron - 18-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD – Model B061X
One lens that covers wide-angle to ultra-telephoto – and everything in between!
The 18-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD has a focal lenght of 18-300 mm, minimum object distance of 0.15m (WIDE)/0.99 (TELE) and a maximum aperture of 3.5-6.3. The lens is the first lens in the world for APS-C mirrorless camera with a zoom ratio of 16.6x. Zooming from wide-angle to ultra-telephoto, it covers a broad array of shooting situations, including macro shots. The design makes the objective compact and easy to take with you. In addition, the AF is very fast and accurate due to the precise and high speed VXD (Voice-coil eXtreme-torque Drive) linear motor focus mechanism. Also, Tamron’s VC system provides steady shots.
Maximum magnification ratio is 1:2, absolutely amazing for an all-in-one zoom lens.
At the 18 mm wide end, the lens attains an MOD (Minimum Object Distance) of 0.15m (5.9in) and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2. This makes it possible to shoot beautiful macro pictures.
Best-in-class autofocus that’s fast and precise, you’ll never miss a shot.
The AF-system that is based on Tamron’s XVD linear motor focus mechanism provides quick and accurate autofocus. Even at the ultra-telephoto focal length of 300 mm, it glides into focus comfortably from the minimum distance to infinity. The linear motor suppresses drive noise making the objective ideal for shooting photo and videos in environments that demand silence.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 December 2023Style Name: Fujifilm XVerified PurchaseI've used Tamron lenses before, usually because they offer a wider focal range than Fuji's own brand lenses. The Tamron's perfect for close shots and with a 300mm reach is ideal for general zoom work and wildlife photography. In other words, you can use it for most types of photography, making it the only lens you need.
It's well built, has a smooth zooming action and produces sharp, focused images. The autofocus is quick enough for most situations under normal lighting conditions. It's fairly light and compact and comes with a lens hood.
It works well with my Fujifilm XS-10 mirrorless camera and helps me avoid the need to carry several lenses and interchange them.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 October 2024Style Name: Sony EVerified PurchaseI am very pleased with this lens, bought to fit to a Sony e-mount APS-C camera body. It has an unusually large zoom range and I have used it on a couple of holidays now with good results. I am pleased with the quality of the photos and videos I have shot, and it has a nice feel in the hand.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 July 2024Style Name: Sony EVerified PurchaseAmazing lens, I'm a hobbiest photographer so I cannot compare it to a high end lens
My other lens is a Sony SEL2870 (28-70mm FF f3.5-5.6) and so far it is much better. Paired it with a "Tarion Camera Sling Bag" and fits snugly. Attached images are from a test day with it at Chester Zoo
Focuses quickly, images are sharp and the zoom is great.
Macro works very well.
Heavy if you have to hold the camera for a long period of time
Low light is not the best but is still achievable
Not too heavy for a tripod, it does not need a
Mount thankfully!
Very noisy compared to the SEL2870 especially when toggling power to the camera but that isn't an issue in reality
Survived a small drizzle of rain no issues
Would like a bigger hood but glad it had one
Hope to trial it with an ND filter soon to see how it does on long exposure.
Good value for £489 compared to other lenses

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 January 2023Style Name: Fujifilm XVerified PurchaseThis lens does everything, other than low light photography, well. It’s great for travel and wildlife; works well for street and landscape photography; can produce decent portraits; and has really useful close focus. My main issue is the need to bump up the ISO at 300mm. My Fujifilm 70-300 is just that bit better at all focal lengths and has better image stabilisation. But it can’t match the flexibility of the Tamron, which still produces very pleasing images.
Update: I recently managed to take a very sharp indoor low-light photo, hand-held at very low shutter speed (can’t be precise as I’ve lost the Exif data). The photo was taken at 18mm, f3.5. Also, on a recent dog walk with just this lens, I captured birds in flight, action from a rugby match, a landscape view of a distant cathedral and a close up of a flower. All very nicely rendered photos. That’s what I call flexibility!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 December 2024Style Name: Fujifilm XVerified PurchaseOne lens for all your needs. Unless you are a pro, or have a very specific nish, this is the only lens you'll ever need. The only time I swap the lens I'd when I want the camera in my pocket, in which case I use a pancake.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 March 2025Style Name: Fujifilm XVerified PurchaseItem returned. Despite all the rave reviews about this lens I found it extremely disappointing. Soft at the short and long end of the zoom range. Fringing around the subject and a very tight zoom ring, not good for video work which requires a smooth focus and zoom action.
Yes the range of zoom is staggering but at a cost, an expensive cost quite literally, don’t be sucked into all of the online positive reviews you’ll only be disappointed, like me from now on, stick to prime lenses.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 February 2024Style Name: Sony EVerified PurchaseI've just taken this lens out over 3 or 4 days of shooting, pairing it with Sony a6700. I've managed to get some really nice shots with it (in my opinion, of course) I have no complaints whatsoever, and given that I paid only £480 for it, it's kind of a bargain for such a broad range of focal lengths. I'm sure the pictures attached aren't at full resolution, I'm guessing Amazon compresses the images? But they give an idea of what you can expect with a little editing in Lightroom/your editing program of choice. Overall I'm incredibly happy with the lens.

5.0 out of 5 stars Immer die passende Brennweite dabei!
Style Name: Fujifilm XVerified PurchaseLichtstärke
Von vielen wird immer die geringe Lichtstärke bemängelt. Das kann ich nicht nachvollziehen. Es handelt sich schließlich um ein Objektiv das eine Brennweite von 18 - 300mm hat (das entspricht einer 16-fachen Vergrößerung) und einen super fairen Preis. Objektive mit einer durchgängigen Lichtstärke von 2,8 kosten meist das dreifache.
Viele Kit- Objektive sind viel schlechter, obwohl sie viel weniger Leistung bieten.
Verarbeitung
Die Verarbeitung ist hervorragend obwohl das Objektiv nur aus Kunststoff besteht. Ich persönlich bin froh, dass es nicht aus Metall ist, da es sonst noch um einiges schwerer geworden wäre. Die Leistung wird durch Kunststoff nicht geschmälert, auch die Wetterfestigkeit ist gegeben. Somit bin ich ganz zufrieden.
Handling
Das Objektiv rastet sauber in der Kamera ein, die Streulichtblende lässt sich leicht anbringen und hat kein Spiel. Der Fokusring passt, der Zoomring könnte etwas leichter und geschmeidiger gehen. Ein gleichmäßiges rein- oder rauszoomen beim filmen ist sehr schwierig.
Es gibt keinen Schalter für den Stabi oder dem manuellen Focus. Bei meiner Kamera, einer Fuji X-T20 kann ich den manuellen Focus schnell an der Kamera aktivieren. Den Stabilisator muss ich jedoch umständlich im Menü ein und ausschalten.
Bei kleinen Kameras wie der Fuji XT Serie wird es sehr schwierig, die Kamera noch mit einer Hand zu halten. Ich habe deshalb einen zusätzlichen Griff angebracht. Jetzt habe ich keine Probleme mehr. Ich bring das Set auch noch in meine kleine Fototasche.
Software
Bei Fuji- Kameras erfolgt das Softwareupdate einfach über das Kameramenü, genau wie bei den Fuji eigenen Objektiven. Bei Sony muss das Objektiv über USB am PC angeschlossen werden und über eine spezielle Software kann dann das Update erfolgen.
Bildqualität
Natürlich ist die Bildqualität nicht ganz mit einer guten Festbrennweite zu vergleichen. Aber es gibt auch Festbrennweiten, die auch nicht mehr Schärfe liefern. Ich bin voll und ganz zufrieden.
Ich konnte damit auch abends schöne Aufnahmen machen. Indoor bei wenig Licht ist auch kein Thema. Ich habe ein paar Beispielbilder angehängt. Das Bild der Scheune wurde mit 300mm gemacht. Ich denke, bei Familienausflügen wird es mein Immer-drauf- Objektiv.
Bildstabilisator (OIS)
Bei Brennweite 300 kann der OIS keine Wunder mehr bewirken. Deshalb ist es auch wichtig, immer die richtige Belichtungszeit zu wählen. Also bei Brennweite 300mm immer kürzer als 1/300s, dann wird das Bild auch scharf. Der OIS ist aber an sich nicht schlecht, ich würde sogar behaupten, er ist besser wie bei meinem Fuji XF 18-55mm. Bei Brennweiten um 100mm ist auch Filmen kein Problem. Das Bild steht quasi unbewegt. Auch beim Gehen macht der OIS eine gute Figur. Ich benütze das Objektiv deshalb auch gerne zum Filmen, da meine Kamera keinen Stabi eingebaut hat.
Fazit: ich kann das Objektiv empfehlen. Wer mehr Qualität möchte zahlt auch bedeutend mehr.

Die Leistung wird durch Kunststoff nicht geschmälert, auch die Wetterfestigkeit ist gegeben. Somit bin ich ganz zufrieden.
Handling
Das Objektiv rastet sauber in der Kamera ein, die Streulichtblende lässt sich leicht anbringen und hat kein Spiel. Der Fokusring passt, der Zoomring könnte etwas leichter und geschmeidiger gehen. Ein gleichmäßiges rein- oder rauszoomen beim filmen ist sehr schwierig.
Es gibt keinen Schalter für den Stabi oder dem manuellen Focus. Bei meiner Kamera, einer Fuji X-T20 kann ich den manuellen Focus schnell an der Kamera aktivieren. Den Stabilisator muss ich jedoch umständlich im Menü ein und ausschalten.
Bei kleinen Kameras wie der Fuji XT Serie wird es sehr schwierig, die Kamera noch mit einer Hand zu halten. Ich habe deshalb einen zusätzlichen Griff angebracht. Jetzt habe ich keine Probleme mehr. Ich bring das Set auch noch in meine kleine Fototasche.
Software
Bei Fuji- Kameras erfolgt das Softwareupdate einfach über das Kameramenü, genau wie bei den Fuji eigenen Objektiven. Bei Sony muss das Objektiv über USB am PC angeschlossen werden und über eine spezielle Software kann dann das Update erfolgen.
Bildqualität
Natürlich ist die Bildqualität nicht ganz mit einer guten Festbrennweite zu vergleichen. Aber es gibt auch Festbrennweiten, die auch nicht mehr Schärfe liefern. Ich bin voll und ganz zufrieden.
Ich konnte damit auch abends schöne Aufnahmen machen. Indoor bei wenig Licht ist auch kein Thema. Ich habe ein paar Beispielbilder angehängt. Das Bild der Scheune wurde mit 300mm gemacht. Ich denke, bei Familienausflügen wird es mein Immer-drauf- Objektiv.
Bildstabilisator (OIS)
Bei Brennweite 300 kann der OIS keine Wunder mehr bewirken. Deshalb ist es auch wichtig, immer die richtige Belichtungszeit zu wählen. Also bei Brennweite 300mm immer kürzer als 1/300s, dann wird das Bild auch scharf. Der OIS ist aber an sich nicht schlecht, ich würde sogar behaupten, er ist besser wie bei meinem Fuji XF 18-55mm. Bei Brennweiten um 100mm ist auch Filmen kein Problem. Das Bild steht quasi unbewegt. Auch beim Gehen macht der OIS eine gute Figur. Ich benütze das Objektiv deshalb auch gerne zum Filmen, da meine Kamera keinen Stabi eingebaut hat.
Fazit: ich kann das Objektiv empfehlen. Wer mehr Qualität möchte zahlt auch bedeutend mehr.
