Tamron 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD Lens for Nikon F Mount
Versatile 15x APS-C superzoom with Vibration Compensation, Piezo Drive autofocus, and an expansive wide-angle to telephoto range
The Tamron 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD is an all-in-one superzoom designed for Nikon F-mount APS-C/DX DSLR cameras. Its unusually broad 18-270mm 15x zoom range covers wide-angle landscapes, everyday photography, portraits, travel, events and distant subjects without requiring frequent lens changes.
Tamron's built-in PZD (Piezo Drive) autofocus motor provides autofocus independently of the camera body's focus motor, while VC (Vibration Compensation) helps reduce camera shake when shooting handheld. On Nikon DX cameras, the lens provides an approximately 27-405mm full-frame-equivalent field of view.
Condition:
Excellent physical and working condition with minimal signs of normal use. Fully tested with no functional issues; autofocus, manual focus, zoom and VC image stabilization operate properly.
Front and rear glass elements are clean and clear with no mold, fungus, dust or haze.
