Hi everyone! On Friday we shared an update stating that we’ve got a great prize to give away this week, and we weren’t kidding! Up for grabs is a Tamron 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZC lens worth R5,995!

Orms is now stocking a wide range of Tamron lenses for Canon and Nikon mounts, with a selection of Sony mount lenses available on request. The Tamron 18-270mm is a great day-trip lens for your Canon, Nikon or Sony* APS-C DSLR. It is lightweight and compact, while offering a massive zoom range covering everything from wide angle to telephoto – ideal for traveling!

*The Sony mount version of the Tamron 18-270mm does not feature Vibration Compensation, and is available on request.

Please take note that the Tamron 18-270mm will only mount on crop format DSLRs! Due to the short back focus, the lens will not work with full frame DSLRs. If you’re not sure about which DSLR you have, send us a Tweet or a message on Facebook and we’ll be glad to help.
