What is the tamron 18 400mm f 3 5 6 3 di ii vc hld good for?

The Tamron 18-400mm is an all-in-one zoom for APS-C cameras. It reaches about 600mm equivalent on Nikon and 640mm on Canon, so one lens covers everything from wide landscapes to distant birds. The trade-off is the aperture: it drops to f/6.3 at the long end, so it wants good light. It's stabilised, which helps when you're shooting handheld at full zoom.

It suits travel and anyone who doesn't want to swap lenses all day. If you mostly shoot birds or sport, a dedicated 100-400mm-class zoom will be brighter and sharper at the long end.

Good partners include the Canon EOS 90D for Canon shooters, the Nikon D7500 for a capable everyday APS-C body, and the Nikon D500 if you want a faster, tougher body for action.
