Adapted to the V1, the Tamron 18-270mm has an equivalent field of view to a full-frame 49-729mm zoom.
The optical image stabilization definitely helps at the long end. I can't get every shot blur free at slower shutters, but I can most.

I find the auto focus not too bad. A darned nice pair, I think. This and a wide angle setup for a second camera gives plenty of options while shooting.
