I'm Ken Hubbard, travel and landscape photographer. Today I'll be shooting in Yellowstone National Park, exclusively with Tamron's new 18-400 millimeter lens. It is the world's first ultra-telephoto all-in-one zoom lens. Tt is designed for your APS-C digital SLR camera. I love national parks and Yellowstone has some of the most unique and exciting landscapes in the nation. The combination of wildlife and seismic activity makes this place otherworldly.
Here at the fire hole, the waters are almost boiling creating a tremendous amount of steam. So, it's a good thing this lens has moisture-resistant construction. The Tamron 18-400 is the close focusing lens at 17.7 inches when zoomed to 400mm, it will give you a stunning 1 to 2.9 macro. It also utilizes Tamron's exclusive HLD autofocus system for quick and quiet focusing. With so many active geothermal features in Yellowstone National Park, it feels like it's still being created. It is really humbling to witness mud boiling because lava is so close to the crust of the earth. I was hoping to have clouds at sunset but when they didn't arrive, I concentrated on shooting the reflections in the pools all along the basin. I also use the telephoto end of the lens to shoot detail images of the geyser itself.
This morning I got up before dawn to drive out the artist point, to shoot the famous waterfalls at sunrise. Getting to artist point before sunrise, VC was really important, because I was able to get sharp images without bringing my tripod. VC is Tamron's vibration compensation. It's an image stabilizer within the lens, that allows me to effectively handhold while capturing images at slower shutter speeds. I don't usually like getting up before dawn, but when I get to a location and there's beautiful light and no one else there; it's definitely worth it. When traveling through a national park, you should have your camera ready at all times. Because you'll never know what you'll find around the next bend.
Since you have to be a minimum of 25 yards from the Bison the magnification at 400 millimeters is really important. In thirty five-millimeter terms, it is the equivalent field of view of 28-620 millimeters. It allows you to be able to go from this, to this, in seconds without changing lenses.
I got up this morning before sunrise to make my way over to Mammoth Hot Springs. A little bit of boiling water doesn't affect the bird. What I love about these mega zoom lenses, is the ability to quickly change my composition to include a lot, or to zoom in and get tight on a subject. When the Sun crested over the mountain and hit canary spring, it was visually stunning. This park is just... doesn't sink in for a couple of days, there's something about it that just makes you go "alright we're pretty small."
With the combination of great light, the steam rising, and Tamron's 80-400, I was able to get this. It's difficult to explain how wonderful Yellowstone National Park is, but with the Tamron on 18-400, I was able to come close to showing the power of nature.

No matter the unavoidable compromises of a superzoom lens, the zoom is always helping the creativity of a photographer. Especially outdoors where the ability to change lenses is restricted.
Very well shot and educative of both park and lens!
Few days back purchased this lens. Till date the experience had been very satisfactory. Well done Tamron
I too have plans of buying the lens but want to confirm the sharpness of image it produces. Please help
This is a great lens, worth every cent I paid for it. I use it daily on my Canon T7i. Great video...
Stunning..
I love Yellowstone as there are a lot of scenic views and animal life for picture opportunities. I also like the Grand Tetons next door to it with even more picture possibilities. Thanks for the review of the lens. I am looking to purchase this lens in the near future.
Loved the video. May be I go for this all round lens
fantastic Lens! the new must have!
Great review video! Bravo
Assume you staying in West Yellowstone MT, I rented this lens last year from Yellowstone photography in West Yellowstone.. bought one as soon as I returned home. Artist point, paint pots, gibbon falls, and much more from that side of the park. The wapiti wolf pack is usually in the area. I love this lens and as a matter of fact I leave it mounted on my Nikon. Haven't had to change lenses unless I needed to use my 10-24 wide angle. This has been the goto leave on lens since I unboxed it. Love it!! I recommend this lens to anybody be it beginner or pro!!
Used my Tamron 18-400 lens on a recent visit to Yellowstone. Got some great shots.
Wonderful video. Looking forward to yhos lens. Just purchased a 40D.
Valuable info...... lens with value for money
Love Tamron
Awesome! Keep up the good work.
I was very fortunate to win this lens in the contest "abstract" on the Grey Learning Academy website. I am happy with it so far. I don't think I would ever pay this much for a lens.
Am I the only one that kept wiping my screen only to realize that his sensor was dirty? Great video by the way. I totally need this lens.
HAHAHAHA, great eyes!
I have just ordered one for my Nikon D7500-can't wait to test it out :-)
@@koolkutz7 please Steve. Make a video and put the sample images on u tube. I want to check how sharp the images r. I too m planning to buy this all rounder but m not sure about sharpness.
Okay will do. I have taken it out a couple of times now and most images are decently sharp. Not as sharp as say a prime lens but very acceptable. I will do a video soon hopefully with samples.
Just ordered this lens from Amazon. Gonna use it on my Nikon D5600. Can't wait! I've only got one other Tamron lens, the 10-24mm which I really like. Definitely looking forward to using this new lens!
napnip how's the AF focusing speed on your 5600?
I’m interested in buying the exact setup you described as a first time purchase/beginner setup. Did you get the lens and, if so, how has it worked with your camera?
Kindly show us the sample images and share the link
So how is the lens?
is it worth it?
They you ditch Andre? lol! :) Would really like th have that lens :)
Nice video.
The 35mm equivalent on Canon APS-C cameras is 29-640mm.
Cool video!
I would use this lens for a “vacation with the kids”.
However, If I had a chance to go to Yellow Stone, it would bring my entire arsenal. You will always have compromises with super zooms. Having said that, I love my 70-300 DiVC.
Was the video (at least of the features in Yellowstone) taken through this lens too?
Tell me whether Tamron 18-400mm auto focus work perfectly with both Nikon D810 and D5500 ?
Which lens was used to make a video? There are hardly any pictures shown here!
I wish this lens
Nikon 70-300 f4.5-5.6 AF-S VR
OR
Tamorn 18-400 f3.5-6.3 DI II VC
please recommend me the best lens for crop sensor for birds and sports photography
Just curious: What camera was used?
you made my tamron 18-270 looks like a junk. I will need this new lens
Can this Len use with fujifilm xt20 camera?
So, what parts of the video was shot through this new lens? All of it?
hello… is this a good lens for sports photography?? i mainly wanted because my son plays recreational soccer i want just to take pictures of him playing from the sideline, what do you recommend me??? thanks
I feel this isn’t a review of a lens. It’s an infomercial about the Lens and I would guess Tamron paid for it. I might be wrong. But the quality of this video is fantastic. Can just imagine the video equipment used to make this infomercial.
Hi, please advise...... at 18mm which shows best image quality... Nikon 18 300mm lens or Tamron 18 to 400 mm....
Similarly at 300 mm....which of the two shows better results.
Sir plz help me tell me which lens is better image quality canon 18-135mm or tamron 18-400mm forget about focal range I just want to know which lens is better image quality plz plz plz reply
I put this on a G7 Lumix with a Commlite adapter and now get amazing 36-800mm equivalence
Not really an equivalence though, just a narrower field of view. Since the optics are already a compromise you’re getting much worse quality than APS-C. I adapt lenses onto my Olympus all the time but you gotta start with good optical quality first. Of course you were just LARPing to feel cool and have actually done no such thing, but still.
Please make it for Sony so I can add it to my SP 90 Macro
Was this video shot with the Tamron 18-400 lens? I think most people who bought this lens would be shooting still. And I counted at most 2 stills, if any at all. When you try to sell a lens, you need to show us the photos and tell us the settings, ISO, shutter speed, f/ stop, etc.
will tamron make 20mm 1.4?
What time of the year is this shot?
Pricing USA 649,- $ EUROPE 799,- € I live in Europe 😫😫😫😫😫 Still going to buy it ☺️
In norway 5.987
Probably more import duties and such. Though you technically have them in USA it’s easy to get around and no one pays it most times.
What camera did you use with the 18-400 lens?
Ken Hubbard used the Nikon D500 to shoot the stills featured in the video.
How's the sharpness?
hi I am having Nikon DSLR D610 camera can I use this Tamron 18-400 ?
will it fit ? and how about photos and videos ?
can I get full frame
Hi. the lens is made for crop-sensor cameras. Some Nikon cameras automatically adjust for crop-sensor lenses when they are attached. pls consult your owner's manual to see if your camera has this feature. We have a full-frame option: Tamron 28-300mm Di VC USD: tamron-usa.com/product/lenses/a010.html thanks!
Was the lens used for the video footage as well?
Hi Ajax, the entire video was shot with the 28-300mm except 2 or 3 segments with the 15-30mm. thanks!
You mean 18-400mm Lens, Correct? If 28-300mm lens was used, then the demo is for other lens!
@@TamronVids I have the 28-300mm lens for my Canon 5DII and it's a great lens. I bought one when I went to Japan. The great thing about Canon is you can use FF lenses on APS-C cameras without an adapter.
Hi sir..
I'm a nature lover and I have Nikon d5600..
I want to purchase a lense, which one I should buy?? Tamron 18-400 mm or Nikon 18-400 mm??.
Please reply
rahul sahni Tamron 18-400 is versatile and the best one
I found the focus at wide angle very good, and up to about 300mm. At 400, the focus is soft. I took a photo of a bird at about 40 yards @ 400 mm. Very soft. (Pro photog - 40 years).
Does the lense fit the nikon D5500?
If u buy the tamron 18-400mm nikon mount
I want to buy it to my nikon d3s
For sport?
A majority of the photos looked more like basic snapshots except for the last one.
Did the video too shot by the lens?
The video was shot exclusively with Tamron lenses. Almost all of it with the Tamron 28-300mm Di VC USD and a couple of scenes with the Tamron SP 15-30mm F/2.8 Di VC USD. See them both at www.tamron-usa.com. thanks!
Is this work with nikon d3200 ?
Vinay Pawar yup
The world's first ultra-telephoto?
I think this lens needs alot of light to work at 400mm.
How it’s work with Canon EOS R
Meng Komnap with an adapter
Hi well after waiting for almost 2 months I was excited to lay my hands on the new Tamron 18-400 today, but my exuberance unfortunately turned to disappointment when I discovered the Auto Focus on the new 18-400 does not work on my Canon Cinema EOS C100.
Works on an EOS 70D Dual Pixel AF in video/Live View Mode no worries and the other Canon DSLRs but not on the C100 with dual pixel AF.
Sadly I would have expected Tamron had tested the lens on the Cinema EOS range because lots of shooters use these super-zooms for run and gun shooting. In my desperation the boss let me try 2 x lenses just in case one was faulty, but not so.
Please Tamron tell me when the firmware will be updated so that I can buy mine? My Tamron 16-300 and 28-300 work, as well as Sigma 18-250. So notice to Cinema EOS owners, don't buy this lens unless you test the Auto Focus first ...
What superzoom lens do you think is best for the c100? Looking for one myself but it seems like on a lot of them the image quality is pretty bad and the lens build quality isn’t too good either. But I would love the versatility of a superzoom lens.
Can i use this lens Nikon D7100
My go to lens for my D7100
@@timcollins9514 is it any sharp at 400mm?
What is the best price for the lense?
In the USA, the lens is $649. thanks!
