Leider muss ich diesem Objektiv einen Stern abziehen. Die Lautstärke beim Fokusieren kann man leider nicht zurückdrehen; somit ist es viel zu laut und wirkt störend auf andere Personen oder sogar auf Tiere.

Weitwinkel sowie auch Tele; Makrofunktion

billig gebaut; sehr laut

If you can only take one lens, this i the one. It covers wide angle to telephoto with excellant optics. Its a great match for the Canon Digital Rebel. I'm sorry I purchased the standard Canon lens with the camera.

Easily Interchangeable; Sharp Focus

I have not had a chance to use this much since receiving it, but it is replacing an older version of the same lense that I have used extensively. The old lense has to be over 12 years old, not sure as bought it second hand from a friend.

Good product who looking for cheap and best

little tight while zooming

I am using this lens since last 3-4 days. Nothing I can say about this lens except 'wow'. Not able test the lens completely as I am using it for only 3-4 days. What I have observed is the lens works nicely in daylight while taking portrait or landscape photo.

With the 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC lens, Tamron has taken the opportunity to add their VC (Vibration Compensation) for Canon and Nikon users, in a package that has an impressively low price. Let's find out if this new lens is up to the mark, despite its modest cost.

Impressive central sharpness; Effective and silent AF; Good VC system; Very low central CA; Good flare resistance; Excellent value for money

Lower edge sharpness; CA at edges

While there's certainly an element of truth to this, it overlooks one fundamental advantage – that you can cover a huge range of subjects without having to change lenses between shots. If you're out on your own, taking your time, this is no big deal.

In Order to get acceptable image quality in most focal leght, you have to stop down between f/8 to f/11, That's Quite Dark for such a tiny apeture, it would be nightmare for low light or indoor, but if you shooting in midday, you would be fine, that's typical superzoom lens.

Outstanding Low Price for Superzoom Good VC for 200mm; Acceptable Central Sharpness; Robust Build Quality; 5 Years Warranty; NO Zoom Creep; Fairly lightweight for Superzoom lens; Smooth Looking bokeh in 200mm

Autofocus mecanishm is dated; Poor Edge Sharpness; VC could be jerky; Imprecise manual focus (30 Degree); The Zoom Ring resistance little bit strong to pull off; Unimpressive Close up Image Quality; Macro Magnification is Not Great; C

If there's one kind of lens that tends to get a bad press, it's the all-in-one ‘superzoom'. Conventional wisdom states that zooms with a 3x range can be optically excellent, and 4x can still be very good, but extend that to 10x or more and the compromises become too great.
