The first thing I noticed was that it doesn't zoom all the way out to 200mm. There is almost no difference between 135mm and 200mm. I compared the focal length between it's 200 and my Tamron 70-300's 200mm, and there was a big difference. Still worth the money as a walk around lens.

Not 18-200mm (more like 18-135mm

I was going on a trip to Iceland and needed a lens to capture all the incredible scenery. I wanted to travel light, so I needed a single versatile lens to suit all imaginable circumstances. The 18-200mm seemed like the ideal fit, and this model was about 1/3 the cost of a comparable Nikon Lens.

This lens is a great all-rounder! Best used in light situations and outside! With a very good zoom range! Not the sharpest of images if you are a pixel peeper! Focus can be a bit hit and miss I found! But Good build quality. I would definitely buy another tamron lens in the future!

A full Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II Lens review is not likely, but please enjoy the standardized results and other information. Pictured below from left to right (ordered by extended size with lens hoods) are the: 1. Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Kit Lens 2.

As a enthusiastic amateur photographer I wanted something else than my normal compact camera. I wanted some dimension. I've always had an eye on SLR...

Tamron's AF18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 lens is part of their digitally integrated (Di II) lens series that's designed for digital SLRs and is not recommended for use with cameras having image sensors larger than 24x16mm, or 35mm film cameras.

well,i will keep mine

versatile,nice holidaylens,ideal for beginners

not a prime lens,not very good in low light

Tamron is probably most renowned for its history of extreme range zoom lenses starting with the 28-200mm f/3.8-5.6 more than a decade ago. The idea went through various evolutionary steps till it finally reached its current incarnation - the Tamron AF 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II LD Aspherical (IF) XR...

Tamron's latest long-range zoom lens, the AF18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di-II LD Aspherical (IF) Macro, extends the range of the zoom at the wide-angle end of the spectrum and covers a popular range of focal lengths for amateur photographers.

good for basic and walkaround lens. Used outdoor in daylight, this lens performs well. It gives decent sharpness & color renderings. Use in lowlights/indoor.. this lens will hunt for focus like crazy. It won't be pretty usable in lowlights due its slow aperture (f/6.3) and lack of VC.

slow AF; lens creep; f/6.3; soft tele-end
