Aberrations galore, though at least it focuses correctly.

bytcchou71 Aug 16, 2005
15 Helpfuls 16 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Focuses accurately on my camera, unlike Sigma 18-200.
Cons Optically poor, even when compared to the (cheaper) Sigma 18-200.
Recommended it? Yes

This lens has a very convenient focal length range for digital SLRs. Its design is based on the very popular Tamron 28-300mm lens for film cameras (and full-frame digital cameras). But this convenience comes at a significant optical sacrifice - this lens is softer, and has more purple fringing and... Read full review »

Tamron Does It Again

bylibragirlsc Sep 28, 2007
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Cost, Sharpness, Hood Included, Range Covered. Fast Focus, No searching
Cons Would be awesome at f2.8 like the 28-75, but still an awesome lens!
Recommended it? Yes

Note - There are two different versions of this lens, the f3.5-6.3 that we are reviewing here and one that starts with a f3.8 (it's a cheaper version). When I was researching this lens I found that many were calling the f3.8, the f3.5 version so make sure of what you're looking at as the f3.5 is a... Read full review »

A good Travel zoom at a reasonable price

Recommended it? Yes

Let me begin by saying I am not as technical as the 1st reviewer so this is a bit of a subjective laymans' opinion. I had an old heavily used Canon 28-200 that was decent but showing some age since it did not zoom very smoothly. I guess I could have sent it in for service but I thought it would be...

Tamron AF 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di II LD Aspherical (IF) Macro Zoom Lens for Konica Minolta and Sony Digital SLR Cameras

The AF 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di-II is a high power zoom lens made for exclusive use with digital SLR cameras. The lens inherits the qualities and concepts of the existing AF28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di. It covers a powerful zoom range that is the 35mm film camera equivalent to a 28-300mm* on a digital SLR camera with a APS-C size imager. The lens provides the convenience of handling many photographic scenes and the capability of shooting ultra wide-angle to ultra telephoto shots without changing lenses. Tamron uses three hybrid aspherical lens elements and two LD (Low Dispersion) glass elements to achieve effective compensation of on-axis and lateral chromatic aberrations, a critical factor that enhances the optical quality of digital photography. Systematic countermeasures against ghosting and flare, annoying factors in digital photography, are also adopted with new technologies such as “Internal Surface coatings” and new multiple-layered coating technology for ordinary elements. In addition, the Minimum Focus Distance is 45cm (17.7") so you will be able to enjoy close-up (macro) photography of 1:3.7 at a 200mm setting. Di II Lenses -  Designed for exclusive use on digital cameras with smaller-size imagers and inherit all of the benefits of the Di products. These lenses are not designed for conventional cameras and digital cameras with image sensors larger than 24mm x 16mm. Key Features: Lightweight and Compact Design for Excellent Potability Flower-shaped Lens Hood Internal Surface Coating to Reduce Ghosting and Flare Dedicated for Digital SLR Cameras Optical System Uses Special Glass and is Optimized for Digital SLR Characteristics in order to Enhance Optical Quality in a
