Product Description

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

From the Manufacturer

Tamron's original development of proprietary core technologies such as Aspherical element production, Multiple Cam Mechanism and Integrated Focus Cam design lend to the creation of the world's lightest, most compact 11x zoom lens made for digital SLR cameras.

AF18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di II Highlights

Di II
Lenses are designed for exclusive use on digital cameras with smaller-size imagers and inherit all of the benefits of our Di products. These lenses are not designed for conventional cameras and digital cameras with image sensors larger than 24mm x 16mm.

Extra Refractive Index Glass (XR)
Extra Refractive Index (XR) glass can bend light rays at steeper angles, thereby decreasing the physical length of the lens while enhancing imaging performance by minimizing optical aberrations. This has allowed Tamron to develop a line of shorter, smaller-diameter, lighter lenses without sacrificing lens speed, and actually upgrading image quality compared to older designs. XR glass is costlier than conventional glass but it yields enhanced optical power distribution, making possible many of the outstanding and innovative lens designs that bear the XR designation. XR glass, with its superior light-bending power, makes it possible to design a short-barrel lens with the same light-gathering ability (aperture value) as a long-barrel lens—even with a smaller lens diameter. By using this principle Tamron has been able to shorten the length of the entire optical system and produce lighter, more compact lenses of the same speed, and also to provide greater zoom ranges in lenses that are much more convenient to carry by hand.

Low Dispersion (LD)
Low dispersion (LD) glass elements in a lens help reduce chromatic aberration; the tendency of light of different colors to come to different points of focus at the image plane. Chromatic aberration reduces the sharpness of an image, but glass with an extremely lowdispersion index, has less of a tendency to separate (defract) a ray of light into a rainbow of colors. This characteristic allows the lens designer to effectively compensate for chromatic aberration at the center of the field (on axis), a particular problem at long focal lengths (the telephoto end of the zoom range), and for lateral chromatic aberration (towards the edges of the field) that often occurs at short focal lengths (the wide-angle end of the zoom range.)

Internal Focus (IF)
Internal focusing (IF) provides numerous practical benefits to photographers including a non-rotating front filter ring that facilitates the positioning of polarizing and graduated filters, and more predictable handling because the lens length does not change during focusing. Even more important, Tamron’s Internal Focusing (IF) system provides a much closer minimum focusing distance (MFD) throughout its entire focusing range. In addition, IF improves optical performance by minimizing illumination loss at the corners of the image field, and helps to suppress other aberrations that become more troublesome at different focusing positions.

Zoom Lock
Another original Tamron mechanical engineering concept is the Zoom Lock (ZL), a simple convenience feature that prevents undesired extension of the lens barrel when carrying the camera/lens unit on a neck strap.

Good Lens for the General Photographer

Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2007

Style: CanonProduct Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

The Tamron 18-200 lens is able to perform at a level exptected for this make and model of lens. The all plastic construction is firm, grip is good, well damped and light in weight. The lock button to prevent zoom creep is a nice feature but not really necessary. The hood is adequate.

Pros: Light in weight. Fast auto-focus in daylight. A good consumer all-in-one lens that can do almost anything. Macro works well in bright light.

Cons: Auto-focus hesitation in macro mode. At 200mm, satisfactory sharpness at f6.3, excellent sharpness at f 11 and beyond. Does not hold up against dust (keep it covered, in a case, or under a jacket when walking around. Dust gets into the internal barrel of the lens). Lens can get out of alignment if the lens gets banged around, and not made for abusive photographic conditions. Using the built in camera flash at 18mm (without the hood attached) will darken the lower portion of the picture.

Tips: When you get the lens, immediately put on a 62mm UV filter to protect the front lens element. Finger prints not removed carefully can damage the coating. Get a case that will fit the camera with lens attached to minimize shock when walking or hiking. DO NOT switch lenses if you don't have to. This will minimize the dust that may enter the camera chamber. Use the lens hood.

This is a good all in one lens for the non-professional. Good for family shots as well as "soccer moms" wanting to capture the action. Tamron has a good warranty and has good customer support. I'd suggest that after a year or so of use (or within warranty), have the lens checked by Tamron to realign and make necessary adjustments. I had the older Tamron for over 10 years with the film Canon and it has held up very well. It was sent to Tamron for alighment during the warranty period and worked better than new.

This is an excellent lens for the Canon Digital Rebel. It compliments the camera by having a light weight all-in-one lens that will cover most photographers. If you are a serious or professional photographer (or own a Canon D20, D30, etc.) and if your budget allows, you might want to consider the Canon L lenses which has more exacting tolerances, seals against dust, and can handle the abuse.

Tamron makes a good lens. Shop for the best price.

Totally Incredible Lens!

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2015

Style: NikonProduct Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

This is an incredible lens! I recently bought a Nikon D3300 and was despairing of the camera because the kit lens was so bad. I have owned at least two different Nikon 35mm film SLRs in the '70s along with a number of Nikon lenses and the quality was always topnotch. I just received this lens today and it is everything I could ever wish for and more. Unlike the kit 18-55mm lens, this lens is very sharp. It focuses very quickly. I have seen other automatic focusing lenses for digital cameras that claim to have manual focus but the manual focus is basically unusable, hard to get any clear focus at all. This lens has manual focus that is very clear and sharp and very easy to use. Focusing this lens manually is just as sure and exacting as focusing a top quality 35mm film SLR. The lens comes with a tulip lens shade which fastens on to the front of the lens with a bayonet mount and you can still put filters on the lens with the shade in place. When not in use, the lens shade can be reversed and mounted on the lens, along with the lens cap, for very efficient, space-saving storage. The lens, with the lens cap on and the lens shade on in its reversed storage position, is literally only 3/4" longer than the cheesy kit lens that comes with the Nikon D3300 and similar cameras. 18-200mm is an excellent range for almost all shooting needs. I had considered getting an 18-300mm lens and, while more focal length is always good, the 18-300mm lens is longer, heavier, more expensive and the longer focal length would be rarely needed. I had thought of spending $600 to buy the Nikon version of this lens instead of $200 for this lens but I am SOOO glad I purchased this lens! This lens is so sharp and clear and focuses very quickly and easily, whether in automatic focus or manual focus. This lens also has a zoom lock on it. It is a little bit heavier than the kit lens but there is very little difference. I think anyone who wants an excellent, all-around lens for their shooting needs will be well pleased with this lens. Another bonus is its small size in its non-use configuration (lens shade reversed, lens cap on, zoom at 18mm.) The photographer can store this camera and lens, an extra battery pack or two, and a few filters in a fairly small camera bag. I am thrilled with this lens and think anyone who purchases one will be equally thrilled.
