Full, AWESOME reach of this lens.

I bought the new 26MP, mirrorless APS-C ‘Fujifilm’ ‘X-S20’ for this ‘Tamron’ ’18-300mm’ lens!
In my old age, with all the experience I have had with cameras, I now, finally, know what works for I & what I want.
I like & NEED the range of superzooms — even more so than ever before because my ‘Google’ ‘Pixel‘ phones give me insane ZOOMING capabilities; e.g., 20x on my current ‘Pixel 7 Pro‘.
This Tamron will be on my X-S20 MOST of the time! That was the case 2019-2020 when I had its full-frame equivalent on my ‘Canon’ ‘EOS’.
The only downside to this lens is its size & weight — BUT for its reach, it does very well. However, this lens is a tad too heavy for comfort on a long, arduous hike. That will be the only time I will switch it out for a smaller, lighter lens.
I like Tamron lenses. This works for I — & that is all that matters.
