Tamron 14-150mm f/3.5-5.8 Di III Lens Review

Tamron 14-150mm f/3.5-5.8 Di III Verdict

If you own an Olympus Micro Four Thirds camera, which includes sensor-shift image stabilisation, then there isn’t a better value superzoom available for your camera. This is especially true as this lens delivers decent sharpness, despite it's 10.7x zoom range.

The choice is less clear cut, however, if you own a Micro four Thirds camera body without stabilisation built in, such as a Panasonic body. Image stabilisation can be particularly useful with lenses like this, that have a slow, variable maximum aperture. Even so, if your technique is good, and you think you can manage without stabilisation, then this lens may still tempt you. Your wallet will certainly thank you for the £100 saving anyway.

Tamron 14-150mm f/3.5-5.8 Di III Cons

Dark corners at 14mm (when shooting raw)
