Value For Money

The Tamron 16-300mm lens is available for £529, making it very competitively priced with the nearest comparable lens, the Nikon 18-300mm at £615 for Nikon only, although the Tamron offers a wider wide-angle.

The alternatives available depend mostly on what camera you are buying for, with Nikon offering the Nikon 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G for £615, the older bulkier version £630.

Canon users can look at the Canon 18-200mm, available for £370 but offering no where near the same zoom range.

Sony A-mount users can look at the Sony Alpha DT 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3, available for £430, but without the wide-angle or telephoto reach.

For all crop sensor APS-C DSLR cameras, Sigma offer the 18-250mm priced at around £300, although again without the wide-angle or telephoto reach. There is also the Tamron 18-270mm lens available for all crop sensor APS-C DSLR cameras, priced at around £330, although without the same wide-angle.
