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

bycaptaincrash Dec 30, 2005
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Huge 18-200 focal range; fast focus; very compact and light; 6 year warranty
Cons Purists criticize it but I can't see any significant defects in my images; bland...
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...

Convenient and Reasonable Results

bybebop1 Jun 22, 2005
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Convenience (not to be underestimated) Feels/works well Looks great - nice travel lens
Cons Average performance Only magnifies to 150mm, not 200mm as Tamron claims
Recommended it? Yes

Credible results for such a convenient lens, but at 200mm it only matches 150mm of my other tele-zooms. Think of it as an 18-150mm (or 27-225mm equivalent). The Sigma 18-200mm is more like 18-135mm - simple tests comfirm this. The Tamron feels and looks good and is a great carry-around and travel... Read full review »

Tamron XR Di 18-200 lens

byskack Mar 15, 2007
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Lots of zoom, Fast focus, Quality glass.
Cons None.
Recommended it? Yes

This is a great lens for the money. When I bought this I didn't want to drop the cash required to get a similar Canon USM lens.

I have taken several thousand photos with this lens and have not had a hitch. It focuses fast to catch shots before they are gone.

I have not noticed... Read full review »

OK lens if you need the versatility

byeduj Sep 21, 2006
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Versatile, great for travel.
Cons Sharpness of images, sometimes hard for it to autofocus.
Recommended it? No

I had one of these for a short time. I was not satisfied with the focus speed or the sharpness I could achieve. I chose this over the equivalent Sigma after many recommendations from different stores - but reviews on the web are mixed. The range makes this a versatile lens and IMO excellent for a...

One of the best travel lens on the market today.

bytruelyyours Feb 17, 2006
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros One good all around lens.
Cons The image quality can not compete with that of those fixed focal lens.
Recommended it? Yes

The wide zoom range 18-200mm, the small size, light weight, the reasonable price and an acceptable image quality make it one of the best travel lens on the market today.

I find myself travel solely with this lens instead of Minolta 24-105, Tamron 28-75 f2.8, Minolta 100 f2.8 macro, 75-300... Read full review »

Great Concept but Poorly Executed

bysobelman Sep 21, 2005
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Very fast auto focus. Quality construction, and good warranty. Perfect focal length range.
Cons Very soft. An 8MP camera won't compensate for a lens that is not sharp.
Recommended it? No

I bought this lens while on a trip to New York. It looked like it had a perfect range for a walk around lens. My other Tamron Lens (11-18mm) works great, so I took a chance. After seeing the pictures on a computer, and comparing with another zoom lens at the same 200mm focal length, the Tamron was... Read full review »
